Distributions build drivers as modules, including network and filesystem
drivers which export numerous tracepoints.  This enables
bpf(BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN) to attach to those tracepoints.

This patch enables uprobes with reference counter in fd-based uprobe.
Highest 32 bits of perf_event_attr.config is used to stored offset
of the reference count (semaphore).

Format information in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uprobe/format/ is
updated to reflect this new feature.

<title>tracing: Do not reference event data in post call triggers</title>

Trace event triggers can be called before or after the event has been
committed. If it has been called after the commit, there's a possibility
that the event no longer exists. Currently, the two post callers is the
trigger to disable tracing (traceoff) and the one that will record a stack
dump (stacktrace). Neither of them reference the trace event entry record,
as that would lead to a race condition that could pass in corrupted data.

To prevent any other users of the post data triggers from using the trace
event record, pass in NULL to the post call trigger functions for the event
record, as they should never need to use them in the first place.

This does not fix any bug, but prevents bugs from happening by new post call
trigger users.

<title>bpf: introduce bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, suppose a userspace application has loaded a bpf program
and attached it to a tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe, and a bpf
introspection tool, e.g., bpftool, wants to show which bpf program
is attached to which tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe. Such attachment
information will be really useful to understand the overall bpf
deployment in the system.

There is a name field (16 bytes) for each program, which could
be used to encode the attachment point. There are some drawbacks
for this approaches. First, bpftool user (e.g., an admin) may not
really understand the association between the name and the
attachment point. Second, if one program is attached to multiple
places, encoding a proper name which can imply all these
attachments becomes difficult.

This patch introduces a new bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
Given a pid and fd, if the &lt;pid, fd&gt; is associated with a
tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe perf event, BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY will return
   . prog_id
   . tracepoint name, or
   . k[ret]probe funcname + offset or kernel addr, or
   . u[ret]probe filename + offset
to the userspace.
The user can use "bpftool prog" to find more information about
bpf program itself with prog_id.

 "New features:

   - Tom Zanussi's extended histogram work.

     This adds the synthetic events to have histograms from multiple
     event data Adds triggers "onmatch" and "onmax" to call the
     synthetic events Several updates to the histogram code from this

   - Allow way to nest ring buffer calls in the same context

   - Allow absolute time stamps in ring buffer

   - Rewrite of filter code parsing based on Al Viro's suggestions

   - Setting of trace_clock to global if TSC is unstable (on boot)

   - Better OOM handling when allocating large ring buffers

   - Added initcall tracepoints (consolidated initcall_debug code with

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Support offloading wireless authentication to userspace via
    NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH, from Srinivas Dasari.

 2) A lot of work on network namespace setup/teardown from Kirill Tkhai.
    Setup and cleanup of namespaces now all run asynchronously and thus
    performance is significantly increased.

 3) Add rx/tx timestamping support to mv88e6xxx driver, from Brandon
    Streiff.

 4) Support zerocopy on RDS sockets, from Sowmini Varadhan.

 5) Use denser instruction encoding in x86 eBPF JIT, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 6) Support hw offload of vlan filtering in mvpp2 dreiver, from Maxime
    Chevallier.

<title>bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT</title>

Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access
kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form.

&gt;From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like:
struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args {
       __u64 args[0];
};

int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
{
  // program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint
  // and statically verified at program load+attach time
}

kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments.
This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments.

Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees
to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is.
The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read()
helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer.

For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared.
In assembler it looks like:
(gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception
Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception:
   0xffffffff81132080 &lt;+0&gt;:     mov    %ecx,%ecx
   0xffffffff81132082 &lt;+2&gt;:     jmpq   0xffffffff811231f0 &lt;bpf_trace_run3&gt;

where

TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception,
        TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev,
                 const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act),

The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64'
to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is.
All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long
and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text.

This approach gives the lowest possible overhead
while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and
transitioning into bpf land.
Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second
this is valuable optimization.

The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced
that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object.

The user space looks like:
// load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
// receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached
raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);

Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature
will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and
unregister tracepoint probe.

On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to
tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used
to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and
corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function
which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe
with tracepoint.

Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf
tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel
on the same tracepoint.
Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted.
Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute
all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs.

In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with
query/introspection logic.

The ring_buffer event can provide a timestamp that may be useful to
various triggers - pass it into the handlers for that purpose.
