bpf: allow map helpers access to map values directly
Helpers that expect ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_KEY and ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE can only access stack and packet memory. Allow these helpers to directly access map values by passing registers of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. This change removes the need for an extra copy to the stack when using a map value to perform a second map lookup, as in the following: struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") infobyreq = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASHMAP, .key_size = sizeof(struct request *), .value_size = sizeof(struct info_t), .max_entries = 1024, }; struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") counts = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASHMAP, .key_size = sizeof(struct info_t), .value_size = sizeof(u64), .max_entries = 1024, }; SEC("kprobe/blk_account_io_start") int bpf_blk_account_io_start(struct pt_regs *ctx) { struct info_t *info = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&infobyreq, &ctx->di); u64 *count = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&counts, info); (*count)++; } Signed-off-by: Paul Chaignon <paul.chaignon@orange.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
