<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 libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
  releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
  build success notification.

  The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
  reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
  a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.

   - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
     'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
     mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
     be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
     before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
     Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
     fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
     MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
     is validated as supported by the filesystem's -&gt;mmap() file
     operation.

   - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
     replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
     This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
     the standardized methods.

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.

   - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
     latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
     and SMART alarm threshold control.

   - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.

   - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
     dynamic unlock of the label area.

   - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
     (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

  Acknowledgements that came after the commits were pushed to -next:
