[PATCH bpf-next v5 2/3] bpf, x86: allow function arguments up to 12 for TRACING

From: menglong8 . dong
Date: Mon Jun 12 2023 - 22:53:24 EST


From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

For now, the BPF program of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING can only be used
on the kernel functions whose arguments count less than 6. This is not
friendly at all, as too many functions have arguments count more than 6.

According to the current kernel version, below is a statistics of the
function arguments count:

argument count | function count
7 | 704
8 | 270
9 | 84
10 | 47
11 | 47
12 | 27
13 | 22
14 | 5
15 | 0
16 | 1

Therefore, let's enhance it by increasing the function arguments count
allowed in arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline(), for now, only x86_64.

For the case that we don't need to call origin function, which means
without BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG, we need only copy the function arguments
that stored in the frame of the caller to current frame. The arguments
of arg6-argN are stored in "$rbp + 0x18", we need copy them to
"$rbp - regs_off + (6 * 8)".

For the case with BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG, we need prepare the arguments
in stack before call origin function, which means we need alloc extra
"8 * (arg_count - 6)" memory in the top of the stack. Note, there should
not be any data be pushed to the stack before call the origin function.
Then, we have to store rbx with 'mov' instead of 'push'.

We use EMIT3_off32() or EMIT4() for "lea" and "sub". The range of the
imm in "lea" and "sub" is [-128, 127] if EMIT4() is used. Therefore,
we use EMIT3_off32() instead if the imm out of the range.

It works well for the FENTRY/FEXIT/MODIFY_RETURN.

v5:
- consider the case of the struct in arguments can't be hold by regs
v4:
- make the stack 16-byte aligned if passing args on-stack is needed
- add the function arguments statistics to the commit log
v3:
- use EMIT3_off32() for "lea" and "sub" only on necessary
- make 12 as the maximum arguments count
v2:
- instead EMIT4 with EMIT3_off32 for "lea" to prevent overflow
- make MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS as the maximum argument count
