====================
pull-request: bpf 2017-11-23

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Several BPF offloading fixes, from Jakub. Among others:

    - Limit offload to cls_bpf and XDP program types only.
    - Move device validation into the driver and don't make
      any assumptions about the device in the classifier due
      to shared blocks semantics.
    - Don't pass offloaded XDP program into the driver when
      it should be run in native XDP instead. Offloaded ones
      are not JITed for the host in such cases.
    - Don't destroy device offload state when moved to
      another namespace.
    - Revert dumping offload info into user space for now,
      since ifindex alone is not sufficient. This will be
      redone properly for bpf-next tree.

2) Fix test_verifier to avoid using bpf_probe_write_user()
   helper in test cases, since it's dumping a warning into
   kernel log which may confuse users when only running tests.
   Switch to use bpf_trace_printk() instead, from Yonghong.

3) Several fixes for correcting ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics
   before it becomes uabi, from Gianluca. More specifically:

    - Add a type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL that is used only
      by bpf_csum_diff(), where the argument is either a
      valid pointer or NULL. The subsequent ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
      then enforces a valid pointer in case of non-0 size
      or a valid pointer or NULL in case of size 0. Given
      that, the semantics for ARG_PTR_TO_MEM in combination
      with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO are now such that in case
      of size 0, the pointer must always be valid and cannot
      be NULL. This fix in semantics allows for bpf_probe_read()
      to drop the recently added size == 0 check in the helper
      that would become part of uabi otherwise once released.
      At the same time we can then fix bpf_probe_read_str() and
      bpf_perf_event_output() to use ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
      instead of ARG_CONST_SIZE in order to fix recently
      reported issues by Arnaldo et al, where LLVM optimizes
      two boundary checks into a single one for unknown
      variables where the verifier looses track of the variable
      bounds and thus rejects valid programs otherwise.

4) A fix for the verifier for the case when it detects
   comparison of two constants where the branch is guaranteed
   to not be taken at runtime. Verifier will rightfully prune
   the exploration of such paths, but we still pass the program
   to JITs, where they would complain about using reserved
   fields, etc. Track such dead instructions and sanitize
   them with mov r0,r0. Rejection is not possible since LLVM
   may generate them for valid C code and doesn't do as much
   data flow analysis as verifier. For bpf-next we might
   implement removal of such dead code and adjust branches
   instead. Fix from Alexei.

This reverts commit bd601b6ada11 ("bpf: report offload info to user
space").  The ifindex by itself is not sufficient, we should provide
information on which network namespace this ifindex belongs to.
After considering some options we concluded that it's best to just
remove this API for now, and rework it in -next.

bpf_target_prog seems long and clunky, rename it to prog_ifindex.
We don't want to call this field just ifindex, because maps
may need a similar field in the future and bpf_attr members for
programs and maps are unnamed.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
 "Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem.
  It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver
  activity

  For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver
  including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs
  and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is
  split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The
  latter provides a character device interface to user space.

  The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram
  Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail
  Battery Management driver.

Enables kcov to collect comparison operands from instrumented code.
This is done by using Clang's -fsanitize=trace-cmp instrumentation
(currently not available for GCC).

The comparison operands help a lot in fuzz testing.  E.g.  they are used
in Syzkaller to cover the interiors of conditional statements with way
less attempts and thus make previously unreachable code reachable.

To allow separate collection of coverage and comparison operands two
different work modes are implemented.  Mode selection is now done via a
KCOV_ENABLE ioctl call with corresponding argument value.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.

  The major points of the overhaul are:

   (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
       of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
       to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
       automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
       in progress.

   (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
       addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
       server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
       IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.

   (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
       than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
       about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
       we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
       it where possible.

   (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
       information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
       subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
       directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
       servers break that restriction.

       To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
       removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.

   (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
       be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
       look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
       up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
       the fscache token for the cell.

   (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
       of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
       and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
       superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
       the lifetime of the volume fscache token.

   (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
       independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
       cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
       VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
       between those cells).

       Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
       rather than the address since a server can have multiple
       addresses.

   (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
       similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
       both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
       also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.

   (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
       of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
       favour of noting the modified region of a page in page-&gt;private
       and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.

       This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
       actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
       becomes useless.

  (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
       entirely on AFS.

  Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
  be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.

  The major points of the overhaul are:

   (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
       of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
       to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
       automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
       in progress.

   (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
       addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
       server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
       IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.

   (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
       than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
       about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
       we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
       it where possible.

   (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
       information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
       subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
       directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
       servers break that restriction.

       To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
       removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.

   (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
       be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
       look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
       up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
       the fscache token for the cell.

   (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
       of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
       and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
       superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
       the lifetime of the volume fscache token.

   (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
       independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
       cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
       VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
       between those cells).

       Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
       rather than the address since a server can have multiple
       addresses.

   (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
       similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
       both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
       also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.

   (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
       of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
       favour of noting the modified region of a page in page-&gt;private
       and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.

       This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
       actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
       becomes useless.

  (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
       entirely on AFS.

  Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
  be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"
