In commit ba8de796baf4 ("net: introduce sk_skb_reason_drop function")
kfree_skb_reason() becomes an inline function and cannot be traced.

samples/bpf is abandonware by now, and we should slowly but surely
convert whatever makes sense into BPF selftests under
tools/testing/selftests/bpf and just get rid of the rest.

<content type='text'>
Currently, compiling the bpf programs will result the compilation errors
with the cf-protection option as follows in arm64 and loongarch64 machine
when using gcc 12.3.1 and clang 17.0.6. This commit fixes the compilation
errors by limited the cf-protection option only used in x86 platform.

pull-request: bpf-next 2024-05-28

We've added 23 non-merge commits during the last 11 day(s) which contain
a total of 45 files changed, 696 insertions(+), 277 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Rename skb's mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for extensibility
   and add SKB_CLOCK_TAI type support to bpf_skb_set_tstamp(),
   from Abhishek Chauhan.

2) Add netfilter CT zone ID and direction to bpf_ct_opts so that arbitrary
   CT zones can be used from XDP/tc BPF netfilter CT helper functions,
   from Brad Cowie.

3) Several tweaks to the instruction-set.rst IETF doc to address
   the Last Call review comments, from Dave Thaler.

4) Small batch of riscv64 BPF JIT optimizations in order to emit more
   compressed instructions to the JITed image for better icache efficiency,
   from Xiao Wang.

5) Sort bpftool C dump output from BTF, aiming to simplify vmlinux.h
   diffing and forcing more natural type definitions ordering,
   from Mykyta Yatsenko.

6) Use DEV_STATS_INC() macro in BPF redirect helpers to silence
   a syzbot/KCSAN race report for the tx_errors counter,
   from Jiang Yunshui.

7) Un-constify bpf_func_info in bpftool to fix compilation with LLVM 17+
   which started treating const structs as constants and thus breaking
   full BTF program name resolution, from Ivan Babrou.

8) Fix up BPF program numbers in test_sockmap selftest in order to reduce
   some of the test-internal array sizes, from Geliang Tang.

9) Small cleanup in Makefile.btf script to use test-ge check for v1.25-only
   pahole, from Alan Maguire.

10) Fix bpftool's make dependencies for vmlinux.h in order to avoid needless
    rebuilds in some corner cases, from Artem Savkov.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>
<updated>2024-05-09T19:34:52+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Masahiro Yamada</name>
<email>masahiroy@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2024-04-27T14:55:02+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0'/>
<id>b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

<title>samples/bpf: Add valid info for VMLINUX_BTF</title>

When I use the command 'make M=samples/bpf' to compile samples/bpf code
in ubuntu 22.04, the error info occured:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
build the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF or VMLINUX_H variable

Others often encounter this kind of issue, new kernel has the vmlinux, so we can
set the path in error info which seems more intuitive, like:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
buiild the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF like "VMLINUX_BTF=/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux" or
VMLINUX_H variable

Replace deprecated 0-length array in struct bpf_lpm_trie_key with
flexible array. Found with GCC 13:

   82 |         __u8    data[0];        /* Arbitrary size */
      |                 ^~~~

And found at run-time under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:218:49
  index 0 is out of range for type '__u8 [*]'

Changing struct bpf_lpm_trie_key is difficult since has been used by
userspace. For example, in Cilium:

	struct egress_gw_policy_key {
	        struct bpf_lpm_trie_key lpm_key;
	        __u32 saddr;
	        __u32 daddr;
	};

While direct references to the "data" member haven't been found, there
are static initializers what include the final member. For example,
the "{}" here:

        struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = {
                .lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} },
                .saddr   = CLIENT_IP,
                .daddr   = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP &amp; 0Xffffff,
        };

To avoid the build time and run time warnings seen with a 0-sized
trailing array for struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, introduce a new struct
that correctly uses a flexible array for the trailing bytes,
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8. As part of this, include the "header"
portion (which is just the "prefixlen" member), so it can be used
by anything building a bpf_lpr_trie_key that has trailing members that
aren't a u8 flexible array (like the self-test[1]), which is named
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr.

Unfortunately, C++ refuses to parse the __struct_group() helper, so
it is not possible to define struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr directly in
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8, so we must open-code the union directly.

Adjust the kernel code to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8 through-out,
and for the selftest to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Add a comment
to the UAPI header directing folks to the two new options.
