<title>bpf: introduce ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL</title>

<id>db1ac4964fa172803a0fea83033cd35d380a8a77</id>
<content type='text'>
With the current ARG_PTR_TO_MEM/ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM semantics, an helper
argument can be NULL when the next argument type is ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
and the verifier can prove the value of this next argument is 0. However,
most helpers are just interested in handling &lt;!NULL, 0&gt;, so forcing them to
deal with &lt;NULL, 0&gt; makes the implementation of those helpers more
complicated for no apparent benefits, requiring them to explicitly handle
those corner cases with checks that bpf programs could start relying upon,
preventing the possibility of removing them later.

Solve this by making ARG_PTR_TO_MEM/ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM never accept NULL
even when ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO is set, and introduce a new argument type
ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL to explicitly deal with the NULL case.

Currently, the only helper that needs this is bpf_csum_diff_proto(), so
change arg1 and arg3 to this new type as well.

Also add a new battery of tests that explicitly test the
!ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL combination: all the current ones testing the
various &lt;NULL, 0&gt; variations are focused on bpf_csum_diff, so cover also
other helpers.

<title>bpf: change bpf_probe_write_user to bpf_trace_printk in test_verifier</title>

There are four tests in test_verifier using bpf_probe_write_user
helper. These four tests will emit the following kernel messages
  [   12.974753] test_verifier[220] is installing a program with bpf_probe_write_user
                                    helper that may corrupt user memory!
  [   12.979285] test_verifier[220] is installing a program with bpf_probe_write_user
                                    helper that may corrupt user memory!
  ......

This may confuse certain users. This patch replaces bpf_probe_write_user
with bpf_trace_printk. The test_verifier already uses bpf_trace_printk
earlier in the test and a trace_printk warning message has been printed.
So this patch does not emit any more kernel messages.

write() is marked as having a must-check return value.  Check it and
abort if we fail to write an error message from a signal handler.

The MPX hardware data structurse are defined in a weird way: they define
their size in bytes and then union that with the type with which we want
to access them.

Yes, this is weird, but it does work.  But, new GCC's complain that we
are accessing the array out of bounds.  Just make it a zero-sized array
so gcc will stop complaining.  There was not really a bug here.

Performance of get_user_pages_fast() is critical for some workloads, but
it's tricky to test it directly.

This patch provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_benchmark that helps with
testing performance of it.

See tools/testing/selftests/vm/gup_benchmark.c for userspace
counterpart.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
  KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
  think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.

  Non-highlights:

   - Five fixes for the &gt;128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
     in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
     with x86.

  Highlights:

   - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
     true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.

   - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.

   - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
     can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.

   - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
     to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.

   - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
     some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).

   - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
     some Power9 revisions.

   - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
     CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.

   - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
     for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
     to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.

   - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
     using transactional memory.

   - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
     Power9.

   - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
     Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
     handles requests.

   - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.
