The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in
the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest
specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of
XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up
the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs
to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be
possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible
and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of
completing this right after the APIC enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and
provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way
independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die,
Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting
global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to
find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration
time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on
the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending
INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole
machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line
parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents
the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers
and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can
use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for
cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to
a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission
logic further.

In global bpf functions recognize btf_decl_tag("arg:arena") as PTR_TO_ARENA.
Note, when the verifier sees:
__weak void foo(struct bar *p)
it recognizes 'p' as PTR_TO_MEM and 'struct bar' has to be a struct with scalars.
Hence the only way to use arena pointers in global functions is to tag them with "arg:arena".

Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.
Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.
Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.
bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.
bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.
Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.
rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX->type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.
rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX->type =
unknown scalar. If arena->map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena->user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */
After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.

- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel
of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done
to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close
to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a
single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for
dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast
majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed
before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which
they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and
global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time
is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure
to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the
point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the
number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been
established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to
avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there
are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers
to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the
remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require
to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the
CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it
therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own
timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the
hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is
e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more
complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series
has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and
ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to
power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in
a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded
netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either
positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power
management side.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:

The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires
needless exports and exposing internals.
This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using
them for describing the correlated clock source.
This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which
can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
exports.
This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the
PTP folks to build further changes on top.
A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not
made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round.

Pull clocksource updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for timekeeping and PTP core.
The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which
requires needless exports and exposing internals. This can all be
completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using them for
describing the correlated clock source.
So this adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which can
be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
exports.
A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has
not made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next
round"

- Core and platform-MSI
The core changes have been adopted from previous work which converted
ARM[64] to the new per device MSI domain model, which was merged to
support multiple MSI domain per device. The ARM[64] changes are being
worked on too, but have not been ready yet. The core and platform-MSI
changes have been split out to not hold up RISC-V and to avoid that
RISC-V builds on the scheduled for removal interfaces.
The core support provides new interfaces to handle wire to MSI bridges
in a straight forward way and introduces new platform-MSI interfaces
which are built on top of the per device MSI domain model.
Once ARM[64] is converted over the old platform-MSI interfaces and the
related ugliness in the MSI core code will be removed.
- Drivers:
- Add a new driver for the Andes hart-level interrupt controller
- Rework the SiFive PLIC driver to prepare for MSI suport
- Expand the RISC-V INTC driver to support the new RISC-V AIA
controller which provides the basis for MSI on RISC-V
- A few fixup for the fallout of the core changes.
The actual MSI parts for RISC-V were finalized late and have been
post-poned for the next merge window.

usb: core: hcd: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
backtracetest: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant
and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more
topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue
behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, 636b927eba5b
("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues")
switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a
part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency
enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent
executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical
problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max
concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths)
and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable
perf regressions in some use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a
separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently
mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or
(finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit
clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to
handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max
concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See 5797b1c18919
("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound
workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but
execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace
tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and
enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next
merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple
conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where
ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered
workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue
isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect wq_unbound_cpumask.
Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on isolated CPUs.
- Other misc changes.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:
- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.
This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.
In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.
A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:
(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.
For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.
For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.
(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.
Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.
The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.
Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.
The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.
For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.
- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.
Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.
The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().
The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.
- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.
- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.
- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

This KUnit next update for Linux 6.9-rc1 consists of:
-- fix to make kunit_bus_type const
-- kunit tool change to Print UML command
-- DRM device creation helpers are now using the new kunit device
creation helpers. This change resulted in DRM helpers switching
from using a platform_device, to a dedicated bus and device type
used by kunit. kunit devices don't set DMA mask and this caused
regression on some drm tests as they can't allocate DMA buffers.
Fix this problem by setting DMA masks on the kunit device during
initialization.
-- KUnit has several macros which accept a log message, which can
contain printf format specifiers. Some of these (the explicit
log macros) already use the __printf() gcc attribute to ensure
the format specifiers are valid, but those which could fail the
test, and hence used __kunit_do_failed_assertion() behind the scenes,
did not.
These include: KUNIT_EXPECT_*_MSG(), KUNIT_ASSERT_*_MSG(), and
KUNIT_FAIL()
A 9 patch series adds the __printf() attribute, and fixes all of
the issues uncovered.

- Do not allow large strings (> 4096) as single write to trace_marker
The size of a string written into trace_marker was determined by
the size of the sub-buffer in the ring buffer. That size is
dependent on the PAGE_SIZE of the architecture as it can be mapped
into user space. But on PowerPC, where PAGE_SIZE is 64K, that made
the limit of the string of writing into trace_marker 64K.
One of the selftests looks at the size of the ring buffer sub-buffers
and writes that plus more into the trace_marker. The write will take
what it can and report back what it consumed so that the user space
application (like echo) will write the rest of the string. The string
is stored in the ring buffer and can be read via the "trace" or
"trace_pipe" files.
The reading of the ring buffer uses vsnprintf(), which uses a precision
"%.*s" to make sure it only reads what is stored in the buffer, as
a bug could cause the string to be non terminated.
With the combination of the precision change and the PAGE_SIZE of 64K
allowing huge strings to be added into the ring buffer, plus the test
that would actually stress that limit, a bug was reported that
the precision used was too big for "%.*s" as the string was close to
64K in size and the max precision of vsnprintf is 32K.
Linus suggested not to have that precision as it could hide a bug
if the string was again stored without a nul byte.
Another issue that was brought up is that the trace_seq buffer is
also based on PAGE_SIZE even though it is not tied to the architecture
limit like the ring buffer sub-buffer is. Having it be 64K * 2 is
simply just too big and wasting memory on systems with 64K page sizes.
It is now hardcoded to 8K which is what all other architectures with
4K PAGE_SIZE has.
Finally, the write to trace_marker is now limited to 4K as there is no
reason to write larger strings into trace_marker.
- ring_buffer_wait() should not loop.
The ring_buffer_wait() does not have the full context (yet) on if it
should loop or not. Just exit the loop as soon as its woken up and
let the callers decide to loop or not (they already do, so it's a bit
redundant).
- Fix shortest_full field to be the smallest amount in the ring buffer that
a waiter is waiting for. The "shortest_full" field is updated when a new
waiter comes in and wants to wait for a smaller amount of data in the
ring buffer than other waiters. But after all waiters are woken up, it's
not reset, so if another waiter comes in wanting to wait for more data,
it will be woken up when the ring buffer has a smaller amount from what
the previous waiters were waiting for.
- The wake up all waiters on close is incorrectly called frome .release()
and not from .flush() so it will never wake up any waiters as the
.release() will not get called until all .read() calls are finished. And the
wakeup is for the waiters in those .read() calls.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.
If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.
The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.
When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.
This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is
waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up.
When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is
a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to
100% full buffer.
As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the
waiter with the smallest percentage.
The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the
smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It
does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace).
This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to
be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up
all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full
before sleeping.
Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and
change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work
structures that are used in other places.

Fixes: 2c2b0a78b3739 ("ring-buffer: Add percentage of ring buffer full to wake up reader")
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
A task can wait on a ring buffer for when it fills up to a specific
watermark. The writer will check the minimum watermark that waiters are
waiting for and if the ring buffer is past that, it will wake up all the
waiters.
The waiters are in a wait loop, and will first check if a signal is
pending and then check if the ring buffer is at the desired level where it
should break out of the loop.
If a file that uses a ring buffer closes, and there's threads waiting on
the ring buffer, it needs to wake up those threads. To do this, a
"wait_index" was used.
Before entering the wait loop, the waiter will read the wait_index. On
wakeup, it will check if the wait_index is different than when it entered
the loop, and will exit the loop if it is. The waker will only need to
update the wait_index before waking up the waiters.
This had a couple of bugs. One trivial one and one broken by design.
The trivial bug was that the waiter checked the wait_index after the
schedule() call. It had to be checked between the prepare_to_wait() and
the schedule() which it was not.
The main bug is that the first check to set the default wait_index will
always be outside the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule(). That's because
the ring_buffer_wait() doesn't have enough context to know if it should
break out of the loop.
The loop itself is not needed, because all the callers to the
ring_buffer_wait() also has their own loop, as the callers have a better
sense of what the context is to decide whether to break out of the loop
or not.
Just have the ring_buffer_wait() block once, and if it gets woken up, exit
the function and let the callers decide what to do next.

The stackmap code relies on roundup_pow_of_two() to compute the number
of hash buckets, and contains an overflow check by checking if the
resulting value is 0. However, on 32-bit arches, the roundup code itself
can overflow by doing a 32-bit left-shift of an unsigned long value,
which is undefined behaviour, so it is not guaranteed to truncate
neatly. This was triggered by syzbot on the DEVMAP_HASH type, which
contains the same check, copied from the hashtab code.
The commit in the fixes tag actually attempted to fix this, but the fix
did not account for the UB, so the fix only works on CPUs where an
overflow does result in a neat truncation to zero, which is not
guaranteed. Checking the value before rounding does not have this
problem.

The devmap code allocates a number hash buckets equal to the next power
of two of the max_entries value provided when creating the map. When
rounding up to the next power of two, the 32-bit variable storing the
number of buckets can overflow, and the code checks for overflow by
checking if the truncated 32-bit value is equal to 0. However, on 32-bit
arches the rounding up itself can overflow mid-way through, because it
ends up doing a left-shift of 32 bits on an unsigned long value. If the
size of an unsigned long is four bytes, this is undefined behaviour, so
there is no guarantee that we'll end up with a nice and tidy 0-value at
the end.
Syzbot managed to turn this into a crash on arm32 by creating a
DEVMAP_HASH with max_entries > 0x80000000 and then trying to update it.
Fix this by moving the overflow check to before the rounding up
operation.

Recognize 'void *p__map' kfunc argument as 'struct bpf_map *p__map'.
It allows kfunc to have 'void *' argument for maps, since bpf progs
will call them as:
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA);
...
} arena SEC(".maps");
bpf_kfunc_with_map(... &arena ...);
Underneath libbpf will load CONST_PTR_TO_MAP into the register via ld_imm64
insn. If kfunc was defined with 'struct bpf_map *' it would pass the
verifier as well, but bpf prog would need to type cast the argument
(void *)&arena, which is not clean.

When open code iterators, bpf_loop or may_goto are used the following two
states are equivalent and safe to prune the search:
cur state: fp-8_w=scalar(id=3,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=2,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=11,var_off=(0x0; 0xf))
old state: fp-8_rw=scalar(id=2,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=1,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=11,var_off=(0x0; 0xf))
In other words "exact" state match should ignore liveness and precision
marks, since open coded iterator logic didn't complete their propagation,
reg_old->type == NOT_INIT && reg_cur->type != NOT_INIT is also not safe to
prune while looping, but range_within logic that applies to scalars,
ptr_to_mem, map_value, pkt_ptr is safe to rely on.
Avoid doing such comparison when regular infinite loop detection logic is
used, otherwise bounded loop logic will declare such "infinite loop" as
false positive. Such example is in progs/verifier_loops1.c
not_an_inifinite_loop().

Introduce may_goto instruction that from the verifier pov is similar to
open coded iterators bpf_for()/bpf_repeat() and bpf_loop() helper, but it
doesn't iterate any objects.
In assembly 'may_goto' is a nop most of the time until bpf runtime has to
terminate the program for whatever reason. In the current implementation
may_goto has a hidden counter, but other mechanisms can be used.
For programs written in C the later patch introduces 'cond_break' macro
that combines 'may_goto' with 'break' statement and has similar semantics:
cond_break is a nop until bpf runtime has to break out of this loop.
It can be used in any normal "for" or "while" loop, like
for (i = zero; i < cnt; cond_break, i++) {
The verifier recognizes that may_goto is used in the program, reserves
additional 8 bytes of stack, initializes them in subprog prologue, and
replaces may_goto instruction with:
aux_reg = *(u64 *)(fp - 40)
if aux_reg == 0 goto pc+off
aux_reg -= 1
*(u64 *)(fp - 40) = aux_reg
may_goto instruction can be used by LLVM to implement __builtin_memcpy,
__builtin_strcmp.
may_goto is not a full substitute for bpf_for() macro.
bpf_for() doesn't have induction variable that verifiers sees,
so 'i' in bpf_for(i, 0, 100) is seen as imprecise and bounded.
But when the code is written as:
for (i = 0; i < 100; cond_break, i++)
the verifier see 'i' as precise constant zero,
hence cond_break (aka may_goto) doesn't help to converge the loop.
A static or global variable can be used as a workaround:
static int zero = 0;
for (i = zero; i < 100; cond_break, i++) // works!
may_goto works well with arena pointers that don't need to be bounds
checked on access. Load/store from arena returns imprecise unbounded
scalar and loops with may_goto pass the verifier.
Reserve new opcode BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND for may_goto insn.
JCOND stands for conditional pseudo jump.
Since goto_or_nop insn was proposed, it may use the same opcode.
may_goto vs goto_or_nop can be distinguished by src_reg:
code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND
src_reg = 0 - may_goto
src_reg = 1 - goto_or_nop

also be less than the amount that can be held by a trace_seq along with
the text that is before the output (like the task name, PID, CPU, state,
etc). As trace_seq is made to handle large events (some greater than 4K).
Make the max size of a trace_marker write event be 4K which is guaranteed

This reverts 60be76eeabb3d ("tracing: Add size check when printing

was because of a bug that miscalculated the write size of the string into
the ring buffer and it truncated it removing the terminating nul byte. On
reading the trace it crashed the kernel. But this was due to the bug in
the code that happened during development and should never happen in
practice. If anything, the precision can hide bugs where the string in the
ring buffer isn't nul terminated and it will not be checked.

Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to
record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function
entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g.
allocated object/initialized object) at function exit.
For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)`
sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can
define a new return event like below;
# echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events
Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1`
(the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once.
This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value
by following command.
# echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events

Instead of incrementing the trace_probe::nr_args, init it at
trace_probe_init(). Without this change, there is no way to get the number
of trace_probe arguments while parsing it.
This is a cleanup, so the behavior is not changed.

Cleanup traceprobe_parse_probe_arg_body() to split out the
type parser and post-processing part of fetch_insn.
This makes no functional change.
