[RFC v3 0/3] Import Kernel uAPI header files

[RFC v3 0/3] Import Kernel uAPI header files

[Maxime Coquelin]

This series enables importing Linux Kernel uAPI headers
into the DPDK repository. It aims at solving alignment
issues between the build system and the system applications
linked ot DPDK libraries are run on.

It can also help simplify spaghetti code done to support
different versions of the Linux Kernel headers used by
the build system.

Guidelines and import script are also part of first patch.
A uAPI checker script is added in this 3rd RFC, goals is to
use it in CI for any patch touching linux-headers/uapi.

Follow-up patches are an example of imported uAPI inclusion
of VDUSE header into the Vhost library.

Morten, I did not (again) apply your Ack on patch 1, as it
has some significant changes and additions.

Changes in RFC v3:
==================
- Support nested headers include
- Interactive mode to select which headers to include
- Store version in a file instead of git commit messages
- All imported headers aligned on same version
- Improve loops in scripts (David)
- Update documentation


Changes in RFC v2:
==================
- Fix typos in documentation and commit messags (David, Morten)
- Add uAPI checker script
- Add uAPI to global_inc
- Fix build issues on FreeBSD and documentation (CI, David)
- Simplify import script (David)

[RFC v3 1/3] uapi: introduce kernel uAPI headers import

[Maxime Coquelin]

This patch introduces uAPI headers import into the DPDK
repository. This import is possible thanks to Linux Kernel
licence exception for syscalls:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note

Header files are have to be explicitly imported.

Guidelines are provided in the documentation, and helper
scripts are also provided to ensure proper importation of the
header (unmodified content from a released Kernel version):
 - import-linux-uapi.sh: used to add and update headers and
 their dependencies to linux-headers/uapi/
 - check-linux-uapi.sh: used to check all headers are valid

+Linux uAPI header files
+=======================
+
+Rationale
+---------
+
+The system a DPDK library or driver is built on is not necessarily running the
+same Kernel version than the system that will run it.
+Importing Linux Kernel uAPI headers enable to build features that are not
+supported yet by the build system.
+
+For example, the build system runs upstream Kernel v5.19 and we would like to
+build a VDUSE application that will use VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_INFO ioctl() introduced
+in Linux Kernel v6.0.
+
+`Linux Kernel licence exception regarding syscalls
+<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note>`_
+enable importing unmodified Linux Kernel uAPI header files.
+
+Importing or updating an uAPI header file
+-----------------------------------------
+
+In order to ensure the imported uAPI headers are both unmodified and from a
+released version of the linux Kernel, a helper script is made available and
+MUST be used.
+Below is an example to import ``linux/vduse.h`` file from Linux ``v6.10``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./devtools/import-linux-uapi.sh -a linux/vduse.h -u v6.10
+
+Once imported, the header files should be committed without any other change.
+Note that all the imported headers will be updated to the requested version.
+
+Updating imported headers to a newer released version should only be done on
+a need basis, it can be achieved using the same script:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./devtools/import-linux-uapi.sh -u v6.10
+
+The commit message should reflect why updating the headers is necessary.
+
+Once committed, user can check headers are valid by using the Linux uAPI
+checker tool:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./devtools/check-linux-uapi.sh
+
+Header inclusion into library or driver
+---------------------------------------
+
+The library or driver willing to make use of imported uAPI headers needs to
+explicitly add uAPI headers path to the ``includes`` var in its ``meson.build``
+file:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   includes += linux_uapi_inc
+
+Then, it can be included with ``uapi/`` prefix in C files.
+For example to include VDUSE uAPI:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   #include <uapi/linux/vduse.h>

[RFC v3 3/3] vduse: use imported VDUSE uAPI header

[Maxime Coquelin]

This patch makes use of the imported VDUSE headers.
The VDUSE support is now systematically built on Linux
systems, even if the build system does not support its
ioctl().

Hi Maxime,

Is the imported Linux Kernel uAPI headers are always backward compatible?

If I build and run on identical platform, lets say has kernel v5.4,
and DPDK has the kernel uAPI header from v6.10, is this has any chance
to create backward compatibility issues?
Or can it enable some features which are indeed not exist/supported in
the platform that has old version of kernel?

Yes, at least that's what is advertised! :)

The binary interface provided by the kernel to user space cannot be

It should not if backward compatibility is preserved as advertised.

It can enable new feature, like for example a new ioctl command.

In this case, it should return something like ENOIOCTLCMD if the Kernel
does not support it.

OK. I think this has the same risk with building dpdk application in a
platform with newer kernel version, and distribute it to the another
platform with older kernel. If interface is backward compatible, this
should be OK.


In this approach we are duplicating the kernel headers, which is not a
great option. Also this requires maintenance, updating kernel headers in
DPDK as needed, which is not great in long run.

I guess intention is to enable a feature that comes with newer kernel
versions, if so why not force enable it in DPDK, like:
#ifndef FEATURE_MACRO
#define FEATURE_MACRO
#define X
#define Y
#define Z
#endif

If the kernel uAPI is stable, moving these defines to library should be
OK. When this feature hits the distribution kernels we can remove
defines from the DPDK library.


OR, won't it help if whoever building DPDK, download kernel headers
package for necessary version, and build DPDK with them?
For this documenting required versions, and a how to documentation to
explain meson commands etc.. may be sufficient.

That's exactly what my proposal aims at fixing!
We do this a lot in Vhost library, and this is a mess.

I see some issues with such solution:

1. This is error prone (e.g. involuntary modifications to redefined
    code). It can be also quite complex/big to redefine (look at
    linux/userfaultfd.h)
2. We copy "GPL v2 WITH Linux-syscall-note" definitions into BSD
    licensed code (but IANAL).

I think this is easier said than done.
Distribution Kernels backport feature on a need basis, it is difficult 
to ensure all the distribution Kernels have a given feature included.

That would add another step to building DPDK.
It would need to be a mandatory step, otherwise we would have to 
continue with all these #ifndef #define..

I think my proposal is the best compromise:
1. No need for extra pre-requisites for building DPDK
2. UAPI included on a need basis (e.g. only vduse.h, only virtio
    headers, etc..)
3. UAPI headers isolated in a dedicated directory, ensuring no
    involuntary modifications are done to these files thanks to provided
    checker that can be integrated into CI.License of the UAPI headers
    are preseved.
4. Helps with builds reproducibility.

I have been trying this script to import linux/vfio.h and cleanup its
usage in DPDK.

There is one issue that was raised.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/vfio.h#n1573

struct vfio_bitmap {
__u64        pgsize; /* page size for bitmap in bytes */
__u64        size; /* in bytes */
__u64 __user *data; /* one bit per page */
};

The __user annotation is sanitized by the headers install script in
the kernel, but the dpdk import script is missing this part.
Such sanitizations breaks the check script.

We could invert the logic in the check script: instead of "restoring"
an imported header, the check would convert a freshly downloaded
header and compare it against the imported header in dpdk.
One thing though is that we would need a copy of the "conversion"
function in the two scripts.

One idea.. can we have a single script?

# Interactive mode, with questions about what to import if dependencies exist:
$ devtools/linux-uapi.sh import linux/vfio.h v6.10

# Non interactive mode, the script uses the version file and imported headers:
$ devtools/linux-uapi.sh check


Regardless of this suggestion, I have some nits about the shell scripts below:

It should not be too hard to pass -e, see suggestions.

I always have trouble remembering the value of $?... maybe simpler:
if ! curl -s -f -o $tmpinput2 $url; then

Doing so makes it possible to pass a -e in the shebang.

And this is a shell function, prefer return 1, rather than make the
whole script exit.

Idem:
if ! diff -q $tmpinput1 $tmpinput2 >/dev/null

Touching the global variable errors should be done by the caller from
my pov, so here, return 1.

No need for </dev/null afaics.

And I would increment the global var errors here, so something like:
check_uapi_header "${filename}" || errors=$((errors + 1))

Similarly, I would try to make this script runable with -e.

The name is strange, this is comparing versions iiuc.
version_older_than() maybe ?

Maybe log an explicit error if curl fails, like in the check script.

Log an error if failing.

Do we really need to force /dev/tty ?

I think your suggestion makes sense.
Will implement it in v1 with other nits you suggest below.
