[PATCH v2 bpf-next 3/5] ftrace: introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_SHARE_IPMODIFY
From: Song Liu
Date: Thu Jun 02 2022 - 15:43:23 EST
live patch and BPF trampoline (kfunc/kretfunc in bpftrace) are important
features for modern systems. Currently, it is not possible to use live
patch and BPF trampoline on the same kernel function at the same time.
This is because of the resitriction that only one ftrace_ops with flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY on the same kernel function.
BPF trampoline uses direct ftrace_ops, which assumes IPMODIFY. However,
not all direct ftrace_ops would overwrite the actual function. This means
it is possible to have a non-IPMODIFY direct ftrace_ops to share the same
kernel function with an IPMODIFY ftrace_ops.
Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_SHARE_IPMODIFY, which allows the direct ftrace_ops
to share with IPMODIFY ftrace_ops. With FTRACE_OPS_FL_SHARE_IPMODIFY flag
set, the direct ftrace_ops would call the target function picked by the
IPMODIFY ftrace_ops.
Comment "IPMODIFY, DIRECT, and SHARE_IPMODIFY" in include/linux/ftrace.h
contains more information about how SHARE_IPMODIFY interacts with IPMODIFY
and DIRECT flags.

+ * IPMODIFY, DIRECT, and SHARE_IPMODIFY.
+ *
+ * ftrace provides IPMODIFY flag for users to replace existing kernel
+ * function with a different version. This is achieved by setting regs->ip.
+ * The top user of IPMODIFY is live patch.
+ *
+ * DIRECT allows user to load custom trampoline on top of ftrace. DIRECT
+ * ftrace does not overwrite regs->ip. Instead, the custom trampoline is
+ * saved separately (for example, orig_ax on x86). The top user of DIRECT
+ * is bpf trampoline.
+ *
+ * It is not super rare to have both live patch and bpf trampoline on the
+ * same kernel function. Therefore, it is necessary to allow the two work
+ * with each other. Given that IPMODIFY and DIRECT target addressese are
+ * saved separately, this is feasible, but we need to be careful.
+ *
+ * The policy between IPMODIFY and DIRECT is:
+ *
+ * 1. Each kernel function can only have one IPMODIFY ftrace_ops;
+ * 2. Each kernel function can only have one DIRECT ftrace_ops;
+ * 3. DIRECT ftrace_ops may have IPMODIFY or not;
+ * 4. Each kernel function may have one non-DIRECT IPMODIFY ftrace_ops,
+ * and one non-IPMODIFY DIRECT ftrace_ops at the same time. This
+ * requires support from the DIRECT ftrace_ops. Specifically, the
+ * DIRECT trampoline should call the kernel function at regs->ip.
+ * If the DIRECT ftrace_ops supports sharing a function with ftrace_ops
+ * with IPMODIFY, it should set flag SHARE_IPMODIFY.
+ *
+ * Some DIRECT ftrace_ops has an option to enable SHARE_IPMODIFY or not.
+ * Usually, the non-SHARE_IPMODIFY option gives better performance. To take
+ * advantage of this performance benefit, is necessary to only enable
+ * SHARE_IPMODIFY only when it is on the same function as an IPMODIFY
+ * ftrace_ops. There are two cases to consider:
+ *
+ * 1. IPMODIFY ftrace_ops is registered first. When the (non-IPMODIFY, and
+ * non-SHARE_IPMODIFY) DIRECT ftrace_ops is registered later,
+ * register_ftrace_direct_multi() returns -EAGAIN. If the user of
+ * the DIRECT ftrace_ops can support SHARE_IPMODIFY, it should enable
+ * SHARE_IPMODIFY and retry.
+ * 2. (non-IPMODIFY, and non-SHARE_IPMODIFY) DIRECT ftrace_ops is
+ * registered first. When the IPMODIFY ftrace_ops is registered later,
+ * it is necessary to ask the direct ftrace_ops to enable
+ * SHARE_IPMODIFY support. This is achieved via ftrace_ops->ops_func
+ * cmd=FTRACE_OPS_CMD_ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY. For more details on this
+ * condition, check out prepare_direct_functions_for_ipmodify().
