Merge branch 'update-sockmap-from-prog'
Lorenz Bauer says:
====================
We're currently building a control plane for our BPF socket dispatch
work. As part of that, we have a need to create a copy of an existing
sockhash, to allow us to change the keys. I previously proposed allowing
privileged userspace to look up sockets, which doesn't work due to
security concerns (see [1]).
In follow up discussions during BPF office hours we identified bpf_iter
as a possible solution: instead of accessing sockets from user space
we can iterate the source sockhash, and insert the values into a new
map. Enabling this requires two pieces: the ability to iterate
sockmap and sockhash, as well as being able to call map_update_elem
from BPF.
This patch set implements the latter: it's now possible to update
sockmap from BPF context. As a next step, we can implement bpf_iter
for sockmap.

I've done some more fixups, and audited the safe contexts more
thoroughly. As a result I'm removing CGROUP_SKB, SK_MSG and SK_SKB
for now.
Changes in v3:
- Use CHECK as much as possible (Yonghong)
- Reject ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL for sockmap (Yonghong)
- Remove CGROUP_SKB, SK_MSG, SK_SKB from safe contexts
- Test that the verifier rejects update from unsafe context
Changes in v2:
- Fix warning in patch #2 (Jakub K)
- Renamed override_map_arg_type (John)
- Only allow updating sockmap from known safe contexts (John)
- Use __s64 for sockmap updates from user space (Yonghong)
- Various small test fixes around test macros and such (Yonghong)
Thank your for your reviews!
