Daniel Borkmann 283ca526a9 bpf: fix corruption on concurrent perf_event_output calls
When tracing and networking programs are both attached in the
system and both use event-output helpers that eventually call
into perf_event_output(), then we could end up in a situation
where the tracing attached program runs in user context while
a cls_bpf program is triggered on that same CPU out of softirq
context.

Since both rely on the same per-cpu perf_sample_data, we could
potentially corrupt it. This can only ever happen in a combination
of the two types; all tracing programs use a bpf_prog_active
counter to bail out in case a program is already running on
that CPU out of a different context. XDP and cls_bpf programs
by themselves don't have this issue as they run in the same
context only. Therefore, split both perf_sample_data so they
cannot be accessed from each other.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
