<title>bpf: make padding in bpf_tunnel_key explicit</title>

<id>c0e760c9c66ebd8a5a1ede81868677f4df993dfb</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the 2 byte padding in struct bpf_tunnel_key between tunnel_ttl
and tunnel_label members explicit. No issue has been observed, and
gcc/llvm does padding for the old struct already, where tunnel_label
was not yet present, so the current code works, but since it's part
of uapi, make sure we don't introduce holes in structs.

Therefore, add tunnel_ext that we can use generically in future
(f.e. to flag OAM messages for backends, etc). Also add the offset
to the compat tests to be sure should some compilers not padd the
tail of the old version of bpf_tunnel_key.

Josh Boyer reported that my recent change to uapi/linux/swab.h broke the Qemu build:

  bc27fb68aaad ("include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations")

Unfortunately, UAPI headers don't include compiler.h so fixing it there is not enough,
add an __always_inline definition to uapi/linux/stddef.h instead.

Testcase: "make headers_install" and try to compile this:

	#include &lt;linux/swab.h&gt;
	void main() {}

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "Round two of 4.6 merge window patches.

  This is a monster pull request.  I held off on the hfi1 driver updates
  (the hfi1 driver is intimately tied to the qib driver and the new
  rdmavt software library that was created to help both of them) in my
  first pull request.  The hfi1/qib/rdmavt update is probably 90% of
  this pull request.  The hfi1 driver is being left in staging so that
  it can be fixed up in regards to the API that Al and yourself didn't
  like.  Intel has agreed to do the work, but in the meantime, this
  clears out 300+ patches in the backlog queue and brings my tree and
  their tree closer to sync.

  This also includes about 10 patches to the core and a few to mlx5 to
  create an infrastructure for configuring SRIOV ports on IB devices.
  That series includes one patch to the net core that we sent to netdev@
  and Dave Miller with each of the three revisions to the series.  We
  didn't get any response to the patch, so we took that as implicit
  approval.

  Finally, this series includes Intel's new iWARP driver for their x722
  cards.  It's not nearly the beast as the hfi1 driver.  It also has a
  linux-next merge issue, but that has been resolved and it now passes
  just fine.

  Summary:

   - A few minor core fixups needed for the next patch series

   - The IB SRIOV series.  This has bounced around for several versions.
     Of note is the fact that the first patch in this series effects the
     net core.  It was directed to netdev and DaveM for each iteration
     of the series (three versions total).  Dave did not object, but did
     not respond either.  I've taken this as permission to move forward
     with the series.

   - The new Intel X722 iWARP driver

   - A huge set of updates to the Intel hfi1 driver.  Of particular
     interest here is that we have left the driver in staging since it
     still has an API that people object to.  Intel is working on a fix,
     but getting these patches in now helps keep me sane as the upstream
     and Intel's trees were over 300 patches apart"

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.
