BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY maps store instruction pointers in their
ips array, not string data. The map_direct_value_addr callback for
this map type returns the address of the ips array, which is not
suitable for use as a constant string argument.

When a BPF program passes a pointer to an insn_array map value as
ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR (e.g., to bpf_snprintf), the verifier's
null-termination check in check_reg_const_str() operates on the
wrong memory region, and at runtime bpf_bprintf_prepare() can read
out of bounds searching for a null terminator.

Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY in check_reg_const_str() since this
map type is not designed to hold string data.

If there is a large number (hundreds) of dmabufs allocated, the text
output generated from dmabuf_iter_seq_show can exceed common user buffer
sizes (e.g. PAGE_SIZE) necessitating multiple start/stop cycles to
iterate through all dmabufs. However the dmabuf iterator currently
returns NULL in dmabuf_iter_seq_start for all non-zero pos values, which
results in the truncation of the output before all dmabufs are handled.

After dma_buf_iter_begin / dma_buf_iter_next, the refcount of the buffer
is elevated so that the BPF iterator program can run without holding any
locks. When a stop occurs, instead of immediately dropping the reference
on the buffer, stash a pointer to the buffer in seq-&gt;priv until
either start is called or the iterator is released. This also enables
the resumption of iteration without first walking through the list of
dmabufs based on the pos value.

Introduce a bpf_has_frame_pointer() helper that unwinders can call to
determine whether a given instruction pointer is within the valid frame
pointer region of a BPF JIT program or trampoline (i.e., after the
prologue, before the epilogue).

This will enable livepatch (with the ORC unwinder) to reliably unwind
through BPF JIT frames.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
 "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
  pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
  those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
  _stored_ anywhere.

  That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
  have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
  unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
  reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
  removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
  pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
  kill_litter_super() as -&gt;kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
  cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).

  Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
  (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
  claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.

  The end result this series is aiming for:

   - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
     that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
     persistency flag.

   - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
     remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
     been removed prior to umount), have the regular
     shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
     dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
     kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().

  Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
  places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.

  This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
  pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
  to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
  to it.

  Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
  that stuff is here"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

     Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
     twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

   - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
     queue.

     Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
     but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

     Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
     reordering.

   - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

   - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
     did for Rx skbs).

   - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

   - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
     sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

   - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
     packets.

   - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
     pressure, improving the Rx performance.

   - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

   - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
     (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
     fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
     cgroups.

   - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

   - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
     RTT.

   - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
     unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
     connection RTT is low.

   - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

   - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

   - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
     5837).

   - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

   - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

   - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

   - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

   - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
     from Kees.

   - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

   - Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

   - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

   - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
     computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

  Driver API:

   - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

   - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
     defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
     100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

   - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
     zl3073x).

   - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
     IPsec and performs RSS.

   - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
     default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

   - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

   - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
     duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

   - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

   - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

   - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
     and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
     operations for PHY timestamping.

   - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
     reading the Rx ring count.

   - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

     Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
     reordering.

   - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

   - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
     did for Rx skbs).

   - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

   - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
     sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

   - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
     packets.

   - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
     pressure, improving the Rx performance.

   - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

   - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
     (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
     fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
     cgroups.

   - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

   - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
     RTT.

   - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
     unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
     connection RTT is low.

   - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

   - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

   - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
     5837).

   - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

   - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

   - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

   - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

   - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
     from Kees.

   - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

   - Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

   - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

   - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
     computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

  Driver API:

   - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

   - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
     defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
     100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

   - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
     zl3073x).

   - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
     IPsec and performs RSS.

   - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
     default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

   - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

   - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
     duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

   - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

   - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

   - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
     and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
     operations for PHY timestamping.

   - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
     reading the Rx ring count.

   - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.
