<title>bpf: Refactor BPF_PROG_RUN into a function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fb7dd8bca0139fd73d3f4a6cd257b11731317ded</id>
<content type='text'>
Turn BPF_PROG_RUN into a proper always inlined function. No functional and
performance changes are intended, but it makes it much easier to understand
what's going on with how BPF programs are actually get executed. It's more
obvious what types and callbacks are expected. Also extra () around input
parameters can be dropped, as well as `__` variable prefixes intended to avoid
naming collisions, which makes the code simpler to read and write.

This refactoring also highlighted one extra issue. BPF_PROG_RUN is both
a macro and an enum value (BPF_PROG_RUN == BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN). Turning
BPF_PROG_RUN into a function causes naming conflict compilation error. So
rename BPF_PROG_RUN into lower-case bpf_prog_run(), similar to
bpf_prog_run_xdp(), bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu(), etc. All existing callers of
BPF_PROG_RUN, the macro, are switched to bpf_prog_run() explicitly.

<title>ppp: Fix generating ppp unit id when ifname is not specified</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3125f26c514826077f2a4490b75e9b1c7a644c42</id>
<content type='text'>
When registering new ppp interface via PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl then kernel has
to choose interface name as this ioctl API does not support specifying it.

Kernel in this case register new interface with name "ppp&lt;id&gt;" where &lt;id&gt;
is the ppp unit id, which can be obtained via PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. This
applies also in the case when registering new ppp interface via rtnl
without supplying IFLA_IFNAME.

PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl allows to specify own ppp unit id which will kernel
assign to ppp interface, in case this ppp id is not already used by other
ppp interface.

In case user does not specify ppp unit id then kernel choose the first free
ppp unit id. This applies also for case when creating ppp interface via
rtnl method as it does not provide a way for specifying own ppp unit id.

If some network interface (does not have to be ppp) has name "ppp&lt;id&gt;"
with this first free ppp id then PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl or rtnl call fails.

And registering new ppp interface is not possible anymore, until interface
which holds conflicting name is renamed. Or when using rtnl method with
custom interface name in IFLA_IFNAME.

As list of allocated / used ppp unit ids is not possible to retrieve from
kernel to userspace, userspace has no idea what happens nor which interface
is doing this conflict.

So change the algorithm how ppp unit id is generated. And choose the first
number which is not neither used as ppp unit id nor in some network
interface with pattern "ppp&lt;id&gt;".

This issue can be simply reproduced by following pppd call when there is no
ppp interface registered and also no interface with name pattern "ppp&lt;id&gt;":

    pppd ifname ppp1 +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach pty "pppd +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach notty"

Or by creating the one ppp interface (which gets assigned ppp unit id 0),
renaming it to "ppp1" and then trying to create a new ppp interface (which
will always fails as next free ppp unit id is 1, but network interface with
name "ppp1" exists).

This patch fixes above described issue by generating new and new ppp unit
id until some non-conflicting id with network interfaces is generated.

<title>ppp: Fix generating ifname when empty IFLA_IFNAME is specified</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2459dcb96bcba94c08d6861f8a050185ff301672</id>
<content type='text'>
IFLA_IFNAME is nul-term string which means that IFLA_IFNAME buffer can be
larger than length of string which contains.

Function __rtnl_newlink() generates new own ifname if either IFLA_IFNAME
was not specified at all or userspace passed empty nul-term string.

It is expected that if userspace does not specify ifname for new ppp netdev
then kernel generates one in format "ppp&lt;id&gt;" where id matches to the ppp
unit id which can be later obtained by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl.

And it works in this way if IFLA_IFNAME is not specified at all. But it
does not work when IFLA_IFNAME is specified with empty string.

So fix this logic also for empty IFLA_IFNAME in ppp_nl_newlink() function
and correctly generates ifname based on ppp unit identifier if userspace
did not provided preferred ifname.

Without this patch when IFLA_IFNAME was specified with empty string then
kernel created a new ppp interface in format "ppp&lt;id&gt;" but id did not
match ppp unit id returned by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. In this case id was some
number generated by __rtnl_newlink() function.

ppp has a custom statistics interface using SIOCDEVPRIVATE
ioctl commands that works correctly in compat mode.

Convert it to use ndo_siocdevprivate as a cleanup.

tty_unregister_ldisc now returns 0 = success. No need to check the
return value. In fact, the users only warned if an error occured and
didn't do anything useful anyway -- the ldisc module was unloaded in any
case.

There is no reason to pass the ldisc number to tty_register_ldisc
separately. Just set it in the already defined tty_ldisc_ops in all the
ldiscs.

This simplifies tty_register_ldisc a bit too (no need to set the num
member there).
