Pull bpf fixes from Alexei Starovoitov:
"Most of the diff stat comes from Xu Kuohai's fix to emit ENDBR/BTI,
since all JITs had to be touched to move constant blinding out and
pass bpf_verifier_env in.
- Fix use-after-free in arena_vm_close on fork (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Dissociate struct_ops program with map if map_update fails (Amery
Hung)
- Fix out-of-range and off-by-one bugs in arm64 JIT (Daniel Borkmann)
- Fix precedence bug in convert_bpf_ld_abs alignment check (Daniel
Borkmann)
- Fix arg tracking for imprecise/multi-offset in BPF_ST/STX insns
(Eduard Zingerman)
- Copy token from main to subprogs to fix missing kallsyms (Eduard
Zingerman)
- Prevent double close and leak of btf objects in libbpf (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix af_unix null-ptr-deref in sockmap (Michal Luczaj)
- Fix NULL deref in map_kptr_match_type for scalar regs (Mykyta
Yatsenko)
- Avoid unnecessary IPIs. Remove redundant bpf_flush_icache() in
arm64 and riscv JITs (Puranjay Mohan)
- Fix out of bounds access. Validate node_id in arena_alloc_pages()
(Puranjay Mohan)
- Reject BPF-to-BPF calls and callbacks in arm32 JIT (Puranjay Mohan)
- Refactor all JITs to pass bpf_verifier_env to emit ENDBR/BTI for
indirect jump targets on x86-64, arm64 JITs (Xu Kuohai)
- Allow UTF-8 literals in bpf_bprintf_prepare() (Yihan Ding)"
