<content type='text'>
Return result of btf_get_prog_ctx_type() is never used and callers only
check NULL vs non-NULL case to determine if given type matches expected
PTR_TO_CTX type. So rename function to `btf_is_prog_ctx_type()` and
return a simple true/false. We'll use this simpler interface to handle
kprobe program type's special typedef case in the next patch.

<title>bpf: Create argument information for nullable arguments.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1611603537a4b88cec7993f32b70c03113801a46</id>
<content type='text'>
Collect argument information from the type information of stub functions to
mark arguments of BPF struct_ops programs with PTR_MAYBE_NULL if they are
nullable.  A nullable argument is annotated by suffixing "__nullable" at
the argument name of stub function.

For nullable arguments, this patch sets a struct bpf_ctx_arg_aux to label
their reg_type with PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED | PTR_MAYBE_NULL. This
makes the verifier to check programs and ensure that they properly check
the pointer. The programs should check if the pointer is null before
accessing the pointed memory.

The implementer of a struct_ops type should annotate the arguments that can
be null. The implementer should define a stub function (empty) as a
placeholder for each defined operator. The name of a stub function should
be in the pattern "&lt;st_op_type&gt;__&lt;operator name&gt;". For example, for
test_maybe_null of struct bpf_testmod_ops, it's stub function name should
be "bpf_testmod_ops__test_maybe_null". You mark an argument nullable by
suffixing the argument name with "__nullable" at the stub function.

Since we already has stub functions for kCFI, we just reuse these stub
functions with the naming convention mentioned earlier. These stub
functions with the naming convention is only required if there are nullable
arguments to annotate. For functions having not nullable arguments, stub
functions are not necessary for the purpose of this patch.

This patch will prepare a list of struct bpf_ctx_arg_aux, aka arg_info, for
each member field of a struct_ops type.  "arg_info" will be assigned to
"prog-&gt;aux-&gt;ctx_arg_info" of BPF struct_ops programs in
check_struct_ops_btf_id() so that it can be used by btf_ctx_access() later
to set reg_type properly for the verifier.

Both bpf_dummy_ops and bpf_tcp_ca now utilize the registration function

<title>bpf: extract bpf_ctx_convert_map logic and make it more reusable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:66967a32d3b16ed447e76fed4d946bab52e43d86</id>
<content type='text'>
Refactor btf_get_prog_ctx_type() a bit to allow reuse of
bpf_ctx_convert_map logic in more than one places. Simplify interface by
returning btf_type instead of btf_member (field reference in BTF).

To do the above we need to touch and start untangling
btf_translate_to_vmlinux() implementation. We do the bare minimum to
not regress anything for btf_translate_to_vmlinux(), but its
implementation is very questionable for what it claims to be doing.
Mapping kfunc argument types to kernel corresponding types conceptually
is quite different from recognizing program context types. Fixing this
is out of scope for this change though.

<title>bpf: Add __bpf_hook_{start,end} macros</title>

<id>urn:sha1:15fb6f2b6c4c3c129adc2412ae12ec15e60a6adb</id>
<content type='text'>
Not all uses of __diag_ignore_all(...) in BPF-related code in order to
suppress warnings are wrapping kfunc definitions. Some "hook point"
definitions - small functions meant to be used as attach points for
fentry and similar BPF progs - need to suppress -Wmissing-declarations.

We could use __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs added in the previous patch in
such cases, but this might be confusing to someone unfamiliar with BPF
internals. Instead, this patch adds __bpf_hook_{start,end} macros,
currently having the same effect as __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs, then
uses them to suppress warnings for two hook points in the kernel itself
and some bpf_testmod hook points as well.

BPF kfuncs are meant to be called from BPF programs. Accordingly, most
kfuncs are not called from anywhere in the kernel, which the
-Wmissing-prototypes warning is unhappy about. We've peppered
__diag_ignore_all("-Wmissing-prototypes", ... everywhere kfuncs are
defined in the codebase to suppress this warning.

This patch adds two macros meant to bound one or many kfunc definitions.
All existing kfunc definitions which use these __diag calls to suppress
-Wmissing-prototypes are migrated to use the newly-introduced macros.
A new __diag_ignore_all - for "-Wmissing-declarations" - is added to the
__bpf_kfunc_start_defs macro based on feedback from Andrii on an earlier
version of this patch [0] and another recent mailing list thread [1].

In the future we might need to ignore different warnings or do other
kfunc-specific things. This change will make it easier to make such
modifications for all kfunc defs.

<title>bpf: teach the verifier to enforce css_iter and task_iter in RCU CS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dfab99df147b0d364f0c199f832ff2aedfb2265a</id>
<content type='text'>
css_iter and task_iter should be used in rcu section. Specifically, in
sleepable progs explicit bpf_rcu_read_lock() is needed before use these
iters. In normal bpf progs that have implicit rcu_read_lock(), it's OK to
use them directly.

This patch adds a new a KF flag KF_RCU_PROTECTED for bpf_iter_task_new and
bpf_iter_css_new. It means the kfunc should be used in RCU CS. We check
whether we are in rcu cs before we want to invoke this kfunc. If the rcu
protection is guaranteed, we would let st-&gt;type = PTR_TO_STACK | MEM_RCU.
Once user do rcu_unlock during the iteration, state MEM_RCU of regs would
be cleared. is_iter_reg_valid_init() will reject if reg-&gt;type is UNTRUSTED.

It is worth noting that currently, bpf_rcu_read_unlock does not
clear the state of the STACK_ITER reg, since bpf_for_each_spilled_reg
only considers STACK_SPILL. This patch also let bpf_for_each_spilled_reg
search STACK_ITER.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.
