The verifier has field information for specific special types, such as
kptr, rbtree root, and list head. These types are handled
differently. However, we did not previously examine the types of fields of
a struct type variable. Field information records were not generated for
the kptrs, rbtree roots, and linked_list heads that are not located at the
outermost struct type of a variable.
For example,
struct A {
struct task_struct __kptr * task;
};
struct B {
struct A mem_a;
}
struct B var_b;
It did not examine "struct A" so as not to generate field information for
the kptr in "struct A" for "var_b".
This patch enables BPF programs to define fields of these special types in
a struct type other than the direct type of a variable or in a struct type
that is the type of a field in the value type of a map.

The verifier uses field information for certain special types, such as
kptr, rbtree root, and list head. These types are treated
differently. However, we did not previously support these types in
arrays. This update examines arrays and duplicates field information the
same number of times as the length of the array if the element type is one
of the special types.

Add epoll support to bpf struct_ops links to trigger EPOLLHUP event upon
detachment.
This patch implements the "poll" of the "struct file_operations" for BPF
links and introduces a new "poll" operator in the "struct bpf_link_ops". By
implementing "poll" of "struct bpf_link_ops" for the links of struct_ops,
the file descriptor of a struct_ops link can be added to an epoll file
descriptor to receive EPOLLHUP events.

Pass an additional pointer of bpf_struct_ops_link to callback function reg,
unreg, and update provided by subsystems defined in bpf_struct_ops. A
bpf_struct_ops_map can be registered for multiple links. Passing a pointer
of bpf_struct_ops_link helps subsystems to distinguish them.
This pointer will be used in the later patches to let the subsystem
initiate a detachment on a link that was registered to it previously.

Add three new kfuncs for the bits iterator:
- bpf_iter_bits_new
Initialize a new bits iterator for a given memory area. Due to the
limitation of bpf memalloc, the max number of words (8-byte units) that
can be iterated over is limited to (4096 / 8).
- bpf_iter_bits_next
Get the next bit in a bpf_iter_bits
- bpf_iter_bits_destroy
Destroy a bpf_iter_bits
The bits iterator facilitates the iteration of the bits of a memory area,
such as cpumask. It can be used in any context and on any address.

We've added 23 non-merge commits during the last 11 day(s) which contain
a total of 45 files changed, 696 insertions(+), 277 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Rename skb's mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for extensibility
and add SKB_CLOCK_TAI type support to bpf_skb_set_tstamp(),
from Abhishek Chauhan.
2) Add netfilter CT zone ID and direction to bpf_ct_opts so that arbitrary
CT zones can be used from XDP/tc BPF netfilter CT helper functions,
from Brad Cowie.
3) Several tweaks to the instruction-set.rst IETF doc to address
the Last Call review comments, from Dave Thaler.
4) Small batch of riscv64 BPF JIT optimizations in order to emit more
compressed instructions to the JITed image for better icache efficiency,
from Xiao Wang.
5) Sort bpftool C dump output from BTF, aiming to simplify vmlinux.h
diffing and forcing more natural type definitions ordering,
from Mykyta Yatsenko.
6) Use DEV_STATS_INC() macro in BPF redirect helpers to silence
a syzbot/KCSAN race report for the tx_errors counter,
from Jiang Yunshui.
7) Un-constify bpf_func_info in bpftool to fix compilation with LLVM 17+
which started treating const structs as constants and thus breaking
full BTF program name resolution, from Ivan Babrou.
8) Fix up BPF program numbers in test_sockmap selftest in order to reduce
some of the test-internal array sizes, from Geliang Tang.
9) Small cleanup in Makefile.btf script to use test-ge check for v1.25-only
pahole, from Alan Maguire.
10) Fix bpftool's make dependencies for vmlinux.h in order to avoid needless
rebuilds in some corner cases, from Artem Savkov.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
"Remove second argument of __assign_str()
The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
__assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
field name and the source for that field:
__string(field, source)
The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().
Before commit c1fa617cae ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
__string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
__string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
allocate)
Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
__string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be
removed"

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

This removes the signal/coredump hacks added for vhost_tasks in:
Commit f9010dbdce ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression")
When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close
function was called. In the previous patches vhost_tasks and the vhost
drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and
exiting. The hacks are no longer needed so this removes them.

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old->list.prev->next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old->list.next->prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page->prev->next or
page->next->prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.
The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

[ 190.272414] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab79270
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.
The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():
ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer->reader_page);
if (!ret)
goto spin;
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1U << 26; i++) /* inserted delay loop */
__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
rb_list_head(reader->list.next)->prev = &cpu_buffer->reader_page->list;
.. and then run the following commands on the target system:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
while true; do
echo 16 > /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
echo 8 > /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
done &
while true; do
for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
done
done
To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer->reader_lock.

Adjust the following code documentation:
* Kernel-doc comments for ring_buffer_read_prepare() and
ring_buffer_read_finish() mention that recording to the ring buffer is
disabled when the read is active. Remove mention of this restriction
because it was already lifted in commit 1039221cc2 ("ring-buffer: Do
not disable recording when there is an iterator").
* Function ring_buffer_read_finish() performs a self-check of the
ring-buffer by locking cpu_buffer->reader_lock and then calling
rb_check_pages(). The preceding comment explains that the lock is
needed because rb_check_pages() clears the HEAD flag required by
readers which might be running in parallel. Remove this explanation
because commit 8843e06f67 ("ring-buffer: Handle race between
rb_move_tail and rb_check_pages") simplified the function so it no
longer resets the mentioned flag. Nonetheless, the lock is still
needed because a reader swapping a page into the ring buffer can make
the underlying doubly-linked list temporarily inconsistent.
This is a non-functional change.

but this commit was apparently never in linux-next before it was sent

Pull tracing user-event updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Minor update to the user_events interface
The ABI of creating a user event states that the fields are separated
by semicolons, and spaces should be ignored.
But the parsing expected at least one space to be there (which was
incorrect). Fix the reading of the string to handle fields separated
by semicolons but no space between them.
This does extend the API sightly as now "field;field" will now be
parsed and not cause an error. But it should not cause any regressions
as no logic should expect it to fail.
Note, that the logic that parses the event fields to create the
trace_event works with no spaces after the semi-colon. It is
the logic that tests against existing events that is inconsistent.
This causes registering an event without using spaces to succeed
if it doesn't exist, but makes the same call that tries to register
to the same event, but doesn't use spaces, fail.

Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Add ring_buffer memory mappings.
The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with
the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers
and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer
that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the
swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory
into other mediums (file system, network, etc).
The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space
task itself.
A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader
sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change
which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer.
The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
that the writer will not write over.
A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an
example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to
the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be
enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used
for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being
mapped.
Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can
not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped,

- Update do_div() usage in trace event benchmark test
- Speedup direct function registration with asynchronous RCU callback.
The synchronization was done in the registration code and this caused
delays when registering direct callbacks. Move the freeing to a
call_rcu() that will prevent delaying of the registering.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.

In the cgroup v2 CPU subsystem, assuming we have a
cgroup named 'test', and we set cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:
# echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
# echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
then we check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
1000000 100000
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
1000000
Next we set cpu.max again and check cpu.max and
cpu.max.burst:
# echo 2000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
2000000 100000
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
1000
... we find that the cpu.max.burst value changed unexpectedly.
In cpu_max_write(), the unit of the burst value returned
by tg_get_cfs_burst() is microseconds, while in cpu_max_write(),
the burst unit used for calculation should be nanoseconds,
which leads to the bug.
To fix it, get the burst value directly from tg->cfs_bandwidth.burst.

I'm fine with either and that was my first thought here, too, but it did seem like
the comment was mostly placed there to justify the 'unexpected' high utilization

So removing did feel slightly more natural to me anyway.

Change se->load.weight to se_weight(se) in the calculation for the
initial util_avg to avoid unnecessarily inflating the util_avg by 1024
times.
The reason is that se->load.weight has the unit/scale as the scaled-up
load, while cfs_rg->avg.load_avg has the unit/scale as the true task
weight (as mapped directly from the task's nice/priority value). With
CONFIG_32BIT, the scaled-up load is equal to the true task weight. With
CONFIG_64BIT, the scaled-up load is 1024 times the true task weight.
Thus, the current code may inflate the util_avg by 1024 times. The
follow-up capping will not allow the util_avg value to go wild. But the
calculation should have the correct logic.

Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.
This matches the behavior described in the documentation:
-1 no request. use system default or follow request of others.
0 no search.
1 search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).
"2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.
