Commit c27cea4416 ("rcu: Re-implement RCU Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU-fast")
broke map_kptr selftest since it removed the function we were kprobing.
Use a new kfunc that invokes call_rcu_tasks_trace and sets a program
provided pointer to an integer to 1. Technically this can be unsafe if
the memory being written to from the callback disappears, but this is
just for usage in a test where we ensure we spin until we see the value
to be set to 1, so it's ok.

Add a new selftest suite `exe_ctx` to verify the accuracy of the
bpf_in_task(), bpf_in_hardirq(), and bpf_in_serving_softirq() helpers
introduced in bpf_experimental.h.
Testing these execution contexts deterministically requires crossing
context boundaries within a single CPU. To achieve this, the test
implements a "Trigger-Observer" pattern using bpf_testmod:
1. Trigger: A BPF syscall program calls a new bpf_testmod kfunc
bpf_kfunc_trigger_ctx_check().
2. Task to HardIRQ: The kfunc uses irq_work_queue() to trigger a
self-IPI on the local CPU.
3. HardIRQ to SoftIRQ: The irq_work handler calls a dummy function
(observed by BPF fentry) and then schedules a tasklet to
transition into SoftIRQ context.
The user-space runner ensures determinism by pinning itself to CPU 0
before execution, forcing the entire interrupt chain to remain on a
single core. Dummy noinline functions with compiler barriers are
added to bpf_testmod.c to serve as stable attachment points for
fentry programs. A retry loop is used in user-space to wait for the
asynchronous SoftIRQ to complete.
Note that testing on s390x is avoided because supporting those helpers
purely in BPF on s390x is not possible at this point.

With CONFIG_CFI enabled, the kernel strictly enforces that indirect
function calls use a function pointer type that matches the target
function. As bpf_testmod_ctx_release() signature differs from the
btf_dtor_kfunc_t pointer type used for the destructor calls in
bpf_obj_free_fields(), add a stub function with the correct type to
fix the type mismatch.

Test BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS command that associates a BPF program
with a struct_ops. The test follows the same logic in commit
ba7000f1c3 ("selftests/bpf: Test multi_st_ops and calling kfuncs from
different programs"), but instead of using map id to identify a specific
struct_ops, this test uses the new BPF command to associate a struct_ops
with a program.
The test consists of two sets of almost identical struct_ops maps and BPF
programs associated with the map. Their only difference is the unique
value returned by bpf_testmod_multi_st_ops::test_1().
The test first loads the programs and associates them with struct_ops
maps. Then, it exercises the BPF programs. They will in turn call kfunc
bpf_kfunc_multi_st_ops_test_1_prog_arg() to trigger test_1() of the
associated struct_ops map, and then check if the right unique value is
returned.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & 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.

- 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.

duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

Add statistics per-CPU broken down by context and various timing windows
for the time taken to acquire an rqspinlock. Cases where all
acquisitions fit into the 10ms window are skipped from printing,
otherwise the full breakdown is displayed when printing the summary.
This allows capturing precisely the number of times outlier attempts
happened for a given lock in a given context.
A critical detail is that time is captured regardless of success or
failure, which is important to capture events for failed but long
waiting timeout attempts.

Introduce a new mode for the rqspinlock stress test that exercises a
deadlock that won't be detected by the AA and ABBA checks, such that we
always reliably trigger the timeout fallback. We need 4 CPUs for this
particular case, as CPU 0 is untouched, and three participant CPUs for
triggering the ABBCCA case.
Refactor the lock acquisition paths in the module to better reflect the
three modes and choose the right lock depending on the context.
Also drop ABBA case from running by default as part of test progs, since
the stress test can consume a significant amount of time.

Introduce a kernel module that will exercise lock acquisition in the NMI
path, and bias toward creating contention such that NMI waiters end up
being non-head waiters. Prior to the rqspinlock fix made in the commit
0d80e7f951 ("rqspinlock: Choose trylock fallback for NMI waiters"), it
was possible for the queueing path of non-head waiters to get stuck in
NMI, which this stress test reproduces fairly easily with just 3 CPUs.
Both AA and ABBA flavors are supported, and it will serve as a test case
for future fixes that address this corner case. More information about
the problem in question is available in the commit cited above. When the
fix is reverted, this stress test will lock up the system.
To enable this test automatically through the test_progs infrastructure,
add a load_module_params API to exercise both AA and ABBA cases when
running the test.
Note that the test runs for at most 5 seconds, and becomes a noop after
that, in order to allow the system to make forward progress. In
addition, CPU 0 is always kept untouched by the created threads and
NMIs. The test will automatically scale to the number of available
online CPUs.
Note that at least 3 CPUs are necessary to run this test, hence skip the
selftest in case the environment has less than 3 CPUs available.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer
The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the
persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address
is in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the
persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to
point to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event.
- Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites
When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the
fields directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events
still show the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing
the raw address.
- Clean ups of the histogram code
The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process
events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold
this information and have a separate location for each context level
(thread, softirq, IRQ and NMI).
Also add some more comments to the code.
- Add "common_comm" field for histograms
Add "common_comm" that uses the current->comm as a field in an event
histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event.
- Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file
When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a
"subops" that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the
enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that
calls the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will
get called for that function too.
- Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances
There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write
into, but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into
the application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance
and not the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option,
whenever the top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it
is also written into the instance with this option set. This allows
new tools to read what old tools are writing into the top buffer.
If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written
into the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a
way to redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance.
- Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace_<name>_tp()
If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of
TRACE_EVENT(), then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently
there's no way to differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint
functions between those that are exposed via tracefs or not. A
calling convention has been made manually to append a "_tp" prefix
for events created by DECLARE_TRACE(). Instead of doing this
manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE() events have this
notation.
- Use __string() for task->comm in some sched events
Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the
scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if
these events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the
event may have to be converted back to the hardcoded size.
- Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user
Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph
event is signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What
actually gets recorded in the event itself is zero or positive.
Reflect this to user space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be
consistent across all events.
- Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write()
The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a
machine has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU,
the write would take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using
a fixed size buffer on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to
handle what is passed in.
- Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag
The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace
functions is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not.
This flag was added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own
way to disable tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when
needed, and the ring buffer flag should be used in all locations
where the disabled is needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant
and incorrect, stop using it. Fix up some locations that use the
"disable" flag to use the ring buffer info.
- Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data->disable
flag
There's a few cases that set the data->disable flag to stop tracing,
but this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch
where if a function set it and calls another function that sets it,
the called function may incorrectly enable it.
Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that
uses a counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags
which are always checked making the disabling more consistent.
- Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer
Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer
and set it back to that clock after a reboot.
- Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace
functions
- Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure
- Remove more strncpy() instances
- Other minor clean ups and fixes

Most tracepoints in the kernel are created with TRACE_EVENT(). The
TRACE_EVENT() macro (and DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() where in
reality, TRACE_EVENT() is just a helper macro that calls those other two
macros), will create not only a tracepoint (the function trace_<event>()
used in the kernel), it also exposes the tracepoint to user space along
with defining what fields will be saved by that tracepoint.
There are a few places that tracepoints are created in the kernel that are
not exposed to userspace via tracefs. They can only be accessed from code
within the kernel. These tracepoints are created with DEFINE_TRACE()
Most of these tracepoints end with "_tp". This is useful as when the
developer sees that, they know that the tracepoint is for in-kernel only
(meaning it can only be accessed inside the kernel, either directly by the
kernel or indirectly via modules and BPF programs) and is not exposed to
user space.
Instead of making this only a process to add "_tp", enforce it by making
the DECLARE_TRACE() append the "_tp" suffix to the tracepoint. This
requires adding DECLARE_TRACE_EVENT() macros for the TRACE_EVENT() macro
to use that keeps the original name.

Test gen_prologue and gen_epilogue that generate kfuncs that have not
been seen in the main program.
The main bpf program and return value checks are identical to
pro_epilogue.c introduced in commit 47e69431b5 ("selftests/bpf: Test
gen_prologue and gen_epilogue"). However, now when bpf_testmod_st_ops
detects a program name with prefix "test_kfunc_", it generates slightly
different prologue and epilogue: They still add 1000 to args->a in
prologue, add 10000 to args->a and set r0 to 2 * args->a in epilogue,
but involve kfuncs.
At high level, the alternative version of prologue and epilogue look
like this:
cgrp = bpf_cgroup_from_id(0);
if (cgrp)
bpf_cgroup_release(cgrp);
else
/* Perform what original bpf_testmod_st_ops prologue or
* epilogue does
*/
Since 0 is never a valid cgroup id, the original prologue or epilogue
logic will be performed. As a result, the __retval check should expect
the exact same return value.

Test referenced kptr acquired through struct_ops argument tagged with
"__ref". The success case checks whether 1) a reference to the correct
type is acquired, and 2) the referenced kptr argument can be accessed in
multiple paths as long as it hasn't been released. In the fail cases,
we first confirm that a referenced kptr acquried through a struct_ops
argument is not allowed to be leaked. Then, we make sure this new
referenced kptr acquiring mechanism does not accidentally allow referenced
kptrs to flow into global subprograms through their arguments.

The selftests build four kernel modules which use copy-pasted Makefile
targets. This is a bit messy, and doesn't scale so well when we add more
modules, so let's consolidate these rules into a single rule generated
for each module name, and move the module sources into a single
directory.
To avoid parallel builds of the different modules stepping on each
other's toes during the 'modpost' phase of the Kbuild 'make modules',
the module files should really be a grouped target. However, make only
added explicit support for grouped targets in version 4.3, which is
newer than the minimum version supported by the kernel. However, make
implicitly treats pattern matching rules with multiple targets as a
grouped target, so we can work around this by turning the rule into a
pattern matching target. We do this by replacing '.ko' with '%ko' in the
targets with subst().
