Certain programs may wish to be able to query cpumasks. For example, if
a program that is tracing percpu operations wishes to track which tasks
end up running on which CPUs, it could be useful to associate that with
the tasks' cpumasks. Similarly, programs tracking NUMA allocations, CPU
scheduling domains, etc, could potentially benefit from being able to
see which CPUs a task could be migrated to.
This patch enables these types of use cases by introducing a series of
bpf_cpumask_* kfuncs. Amongst these kfuncs, there are two separate
"classes" of operations:
1. kfuncs which allow the caller to allocate and mutate their own
cpumask kptrs in the form of a struct bpf_cpumask * object. Such
kfuncs include e.g. bpf_cpumask_create() to allocate the cpumask, and
bpf_cpumask_or() to mutate it. "Regular" cpumasks such as p->cpus_ptr
may not be passed to these kfuncs, and the verifier will ensure this
is the case by comparing BTF IDs.
2. Read-only operations which operate on const struct cpumask *
arguments. For example, bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(), which tests whether a
CPU is set in the cpumask. Any trusted struct cpumask * or struct
bpf_cpumask * may be passed to these kfuncs. The verifier allows
struct bpf_cpumask * even though the kfunc is defined with struct
cpumask * because the first element of a struct bpf_cpumask is a
cpumask_t, so it is safe to cast.
A follow-on patch will add selftests which validate these kfuncs, and
another will document them.
