BPF program types like kprobe and fentry can cause deadlocks in certain
situations. If a function takes a lock and one of these bpf programs is
hooked to some point in the function's critical section, and if the
bpf program tries to call the same function and take the same lock it will
lead to deadlock. These situations have been reported in the following
bug reports.

Prevent kprobe and fentry bpf programs from attaching to these critical
sections by removing CC_FLAGS_FTRACE for percpu_freelist.o,
bpf_lru_list.o, queue_stack_maps.o, lpm_trie.o, ringbuf.o files.

The bugs reported by syzbot are due to tracepoint bpf programs being
called in the critical sections. This patch does not aim to fix deadlocks
caused by tracepoint programs. However, it does prevent deadlocks from
occurring in similar situations due to kprobe and fentry programs.

Introduce range_tree data structure and use it in bpf arena to track
ranges of allocated pages. range_tree is a large bitmap that is
implemented as interval tree plus rbtree. The contiguous sequence of
bits represents unallocated pages.

The new "kmem_cache" iterator will traverse the list of slab caches
and call attached BPF programs for each entry.  It should check the
argument (ctx.s) if it's NULL before using it.

Now the iteration grabs the slab_mutex only if it traverse the list and
releases the mutex when it runs the BPF program.  The kmem_cache entry
is protected by a refcount during the execution.

According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2
parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen
for the kernel/bpf/ directory.

$ touch kernel/bpf/core.o
$ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o

Outputs:

  CHECK   scripts/mod/empty.c
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CC      kernel/bpf/core.o

As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This
happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for
compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check.

There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be
removed to use generic rules.

<title>libbpf,bpf: Share BTF relocate-related code with kernel</title>

Share relocation implementation with the kernel.  As part of this,
we also need the type/string iteration functions so also share
btf_iter.c file. Relocation code in kernel and userspace is identical
save for the impementation of the reparenting of split BTF to the
relocated base BTF and retrieval of the BTF header from "struct btf";
these small functions need separate user-space and kernel implementations
for the separate "struct btf"s they operate upon.

One other wrinkle on the kernel side is we have to map .BTF.ids in
modules as they were generated with the type ids used at BTF encoding
time. btf_relocate() optionally returns an array mapping from old BTF
ids to relocated ids, so we use that to fix up these references where
needed for kfuncs.

1) Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
   memory addresses and implement support in x86 BPF JIT. This allows
   inlining per-CPU array and hashmap lookups
   and the bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper, from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) Add BPF link support for sk_msg and sk_skb programs, from Yonghong Song.

3) Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
   atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86 instruction,
   from Alexei Starovoitov.

4) Add support for passing mark with bpf_fib_lookup helper,
   from Anton Protopopov.

5) Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor sleepable
   bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible,
   from Benjamin Tissoires.

6) Fix BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN infra with regards to bpf_dummy_struct_ops programs
   to check when NULL is passed for non-NULLable parameters,
   from Eduard Zingerman.

7) Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking,
   from Harishankar Vishwanathan.

8) Introduce crypto kfuncs to make BPF programs able to utilize the kernel
   crypto subsystem, from Vadim Fedorenko.

9) Various improvements to the BPF instruction set standardization doc,
   from Dave Thaler.

10) Extend libbpf APIs to partially consume items from the BPF ringbuffer,
    from Andrea Righi.

11) Bigger batch of BPF selftests refactoring to use common network helpers
    and to drop duplicate code, from Geliang Tang.

12) Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13,
    from Jose E. Marchesi.

13) Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
    program to have code sections where preemption is disabled,
    from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.

14) Allow invoking BPF kfuncs from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL programs,
    from David Vernet.

15) Extend the BPF verifier to allow different input maps for a given
    bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper call in a BPF program, from Philo Lu.

Add crypto API support to BPF to be able to decrypt or encrypt packets
in TC/XDP BPF programs. Special care should be taken for initialization
part of crypto algo because crypto alloc) doesn't work with preemtion
disabled, it can be run only in sleepable BPF program. Also async crypto
is not supported because of the very same issue - TC/XDP BPF programs
are not sleepable.

<title>kbuild: make -Woverride-init warnings more consistent</title>

<id>c40845e3195d074b34f8f8e400e28c9403a06588</id>
<content type='text'>
The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.

Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.

There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.

Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.

Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
   anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
   program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
   a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
   tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
   The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
   to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.

Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.

bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.

Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX-&gt;type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX-&gt;type =
unknown scalar. If arena-&gt;map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
  rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena-&gt;user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */

After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.
