 And we currently don't have an attach type for NETLINK BPF link.
 Thankfully it's not too late to add it. I see that link_create() in
 kernel/bpf/syscall.c just bypasses attach_type check. We shouldn't
 have done that. Instead we need to add BPF_NETLINK attach type to enum
 bpf_attach_type. And wire all that properly throughout the kernel and
 libbpf itself.

This adds BPF_NETFILTER and uses it.  This breaks uabi but this
wasn't in any non-rc release yet, so it should be fine.

v2: check link_attack prog type in link_create too

  ddc65971bb677aa9 ("prctl: add PR_GET_AUXV to copy auxv to userspace")

To pick the changes in:

That don't result in any changes in tooling:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/prctl_option.sh &gt; before
  $ cp include/uapi/linux/prctl.h tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h
  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/prctl_option.sh &gt; after
  $ diff -u before after
  $

This actually adds a new prctl arg, but it has to be dealt with
differently, as it is not in sequence with the other arguments.

Just silences this perf tools build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/prctl.h'

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "Third version of perf tool updates, with the build problems with with
  using a 'vmlinux.h' generated from the main build fixed, and the bpf
  skeleton build disabled by default.

  Build:

   - Require libtraceevent to build, one can disable it using
     NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.

     It is required for tools like 'perf sched', 'perf kvm', 'perf
     trace', etc.

     libtraceevent is available in most distros so installing
     'libtraceevent-devel' should be a one-time event to continue
     building perf as usual.

     Using NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 produces tooling that is functional and
     sufficient for lots of users not interested in those libtraceevent
     dependent features.

   - Allow Python support in 'perf script' when libtraceevent isn't
     linked, as not all features requires it, for instance Intel PT does
     not use tracepoints.

   - Error if the python interpreter needed for jevents to work isn't
     available and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set, preventing a build without
     support for JSON vendor events, which is a rare but possible
     condition. The two check error messages:

        $(error ERROR: No python interpreter needed for jevents generation. Install python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)
        $(error ERROR: Python interpreter needed for jevents generation too old (older than 3.6). Install a newer python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)

   - Make libbpf 1.0 the minimum required when building with out of
     tree, distro provided libbpf.

   - Use libsdtc++'s and LLVM's libcxx's __cxa_demangle, a portable C++
     demangler, add 'perf test' entry for it.

   - Make binutils libraries opt in, as distros disable building with it
     due to licensing, they were used for C++ demangling, for instance.

   - Switch libpfm4 to opt-out rather than opt-in, if libpfm-devel (or
     equivalent) isn't installed, we'll just have a build warning:

       Makefile.config:1144: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev

   - Add a feature test for scandirat(), that is not implemented so far
     in musl and uclibc, disabling features that need it, such as
     scanning for tracepoints in /sys/kernel/tracing/events.

  perf BPF filters:

   - New feature where BPF can be used to filter samples, for instance:

      $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period &gt; 1000' true
      $ sudo ./perf script
           perf-exec 2273949 546850.708501:       5029 cycles:  ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms])

   - In addition to 'period' (PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD), the other
     PERF_SAMPLE_ can be used for filtering, and also some other sample
     accessible values, from tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt:

        Essentially the BPF filter expression is:

        &lt;term&gt; &lt;operator&gt; &lt;value&gt; (("," | "||") &lt;term&gt; &lt;operator&gt; &lt;value&gt;)*

     The &lt;term&gt; can be one of:
        ip, id, tid, pid, cpu, time, addr, period, txn, weight, phys_addr,
        code_pgsz, data_pgsz, weight1, weight2, weight3, ins_lat, retire_lat,
        p_stage_cyc, mem_op, mem_lvl, mem_snoop, mem_remote, mem_lock,
        mem_dtlb, mem_blk, mem_hops

     The &lt;operator&gt; can be one of:
        ==, !=, &gt;, &gt;=, &lt;, &lt;=, &amp;

     The &lt;value&gt; can be one of:
        &lt;number&gt; (for any term)
        na, load, store, pfetch, exec (for mem_op)
        l1, l2, l3, l4, cxl, io, any_cache, lfb, ram, pmem (for mem_lvl)
        na, none, hit, miss, hitm, fwd, peer (for mem_snoop)
        remote (for mem_remote)
        na, locked (for mem_locked)
        na, l1_hit, l1_miss, l2_hit, l2_miss, any_hit, any_miss, walk, fault (for mem_dtlb)
        na, by_data, by_addr (for mem_blk)
        hops0, hops1, hops2, hops3 (for mem_hops)

  perf lock contention:

   - Show lock type with address.

   - Track and show mmap_lock, siglock and per-cpu rq_lock with address.
     This is done for mmap_lock by following the current-&gt;mm pointer:

      $ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- sleep 10
       contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait            address   symbol

   - Update default map size to 16384.

   - Allocate single letter option -M for --map-nr-entries, as it is
     proving being frequently used.

   - Fix struct rq lock access for older kernels with BPF's CO-RE
     (Compile once, run everywhere).

   - Fix problems found with MSAn.

  perf report/top:

   - Add inline information when using --call-graph=fp or lbr, as was
     already done to the --call-graph=dwarf callchain mode.

   - Improve the 'srcfile' sort key performance by really using an
     optimization introduced in 6.2 for the 'srcline' sort key that
     avoids calling addr2line for comparision with each sample.

  perf sched:

   - Make 'perf sched latency/map/replay' to use "sched:sched_waking"
     instead of "sched:sched_waking", consistent with 'perf record'
     since d566a9c2d482 ("perf sched: Prefer sched_waking event when it
     exists").

  perf ftrace:

   - Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand, run the
     following command then generate some network traffic and press
     control+C:

       # perf ftrace latency -T __kfree_skb
     ^C

       #

  perf top:

   - Add --branch-history (LBR: Last Branch Record) option, just like
     already available for 'perf record'.

   - Fix segfault in thread__comm_len() where thread-&gt;comm was being
     used outside thread-&gt;comm_lock.

  perf annotate:

   - Allow configuring objdump and addr2line in ~/.perfconfig., so that
     you can use alternative binaries, such as llvm's.

  perf kvm:

   - Add TUI mode for 'perf kvm stat report'.

  Reference counting:

   - Add reference count checking infrastructure to check for use after
     free, done to the 'cpumap', 'namespaces', 'maps' and 'map' structs,
     more to come.

     To build with it use -DREFCNT_CHECKING=1 in the make command line
     to build tools/perf. Documented at:

       https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking

   - The above caught, for instance, fix, present in this series:

        - Fix maps use after put in 'perf test "Share thread maps"':

          'maps' is copied from leader, but the leader is put on line 79
          and then 'maps' is used to read the reference count below - so
          a use after put, with the put of maps happening within
          thread__put.

     Fixed by reversing the order of puts so that the leader is put
     last.

   - Also several fixes were made to places where reference counts were
     not being held.

   - Make this one of the tests in 'make -C tools/perf build-test' to
     regularly build test it and to make sure no direct access to the
     reference counted structs are made, doing that via accessors to
     check the validity of the struct pointer.

  ARM64:

   - Fix 'perf report' segfault when filtering coresight traces by
     sparse lists of CPUs.

   - Add support for 'simd' as a sort field for 'perf report', to show
     ARM's NEON SIMD's predicate flags: "partial" and "empty".

  arm64 vendor events:

   - Add N1 metrics.

  Intel vendor events:

   - Add graniterapids, grandridge and sierraforrest events.

   - Refresh events for: alderlake, aldernaken, broadwell, broadwellde,
     broadwellx, cascadelakx, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex,
     jaketown, meteorlake, knightslanding, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
     silvermont, skylake, tigerlake and westmereep-dp

   - Refresh metrics for alderlake-n, broadwell, broadwellde,
     broadwellx, haswell, haswellx, icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown and
     skylakex.

  perf stat:

   - Implement --topdown using JSON metrics.

   - Add TopdownL1 JSON metric as a default if present, but disable it
     for now for some Intel hybrid architectures, a series of patches
     addressing this is being reviewed and will be submitted for v6.5.

   - Use metrics for --smi-cost.

   - Update topdown documentation.

  Vendor events (JSON) infrastructure:

   - Add support for computing and printing metric threshold values. For
     instance, here is one found in thesapphirerapids json file:

       {
           "BriefDescription": "Percentage of cycles spent in System Management Interrupts.",
           "MetricExpr": "((msr@aperf@ - cycles) / msr@aperf@ if msr@smi@ &gt; 0 else 0)",
           "MetricGroup": "smi",
           "MetricName": "smi_cycles",
           "MetricThreshold": "smi_cycles &gt; 0.1",
           "ScaleUnit": "100%"
       },

   - Test parsing metric thresholds with the fake PMU in 'perf test
     pmu-events'.

   - Support for printing metric thresholds in 'perf list'.

   - Add --metric-no-threshold option to 'perf stat'.

   - Add rand (reverse and) and has_pmem (optane memory) support to
     metrics.

   - Sort list of input files to avoid depending on the order from
     readdir() helping in obtaining reproducible builds.

  S/390:

   - Add common metrics: - CPI (cycles per instruction), prbstate (ratio
     of instructions executed in problem state compared to total number
     of instructions), l1mp (Level one instruction and data cache misses
     per 100 instructions).

   - Add cache metrics for z13, z14, z15 and z16.

   - Add metric for TLB and cache.

  ARM:

   - Add raw decoding for SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) v1.3 MTE
     (Memory Tagging Extension) and MOPS (Memory Operations) load/store.

  Intel PT hardware tracing:

   - Add event type names UINTR (User interrupt delivered) and UIRET
     (Exiting from user interrupt routine), documented in table 32-50
     "CFE Packet Type and Vector Fields Details" in the Intel Processor
     Trace chapter of The Intel SDM Volume 3 version 078.

   - Add support for new branch instructions ERETS and ERETU.

   - Fix CYC timestamps after standalone CBR

  ARM CoreSight hardware tracing:

   - Allow user to override timestamp and contextid settings.

   - Fix segfault in dso lookup.

   - Fix timeless decode mode detection.

   - Add separate decode paths for timeless and per-thread modes.

  auxtrace:

   - Fix address filter entire kernel size.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Fix use-after-free and unaligned bugs in the PLT handling routines.

   - Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free.

   - Add missing 0x prefix for addresses printed in hexadecimal in 'perf
     probe'.

   - Suppress massive unsupported target platform errors in the unwind
     code.

   - Fix return incorrect build_id size in elf_read_build_id().

   - Fix 'perf scripts intel-pt-events.py' IPC output for Python 2 .

   - Add missing new parameter in kfree_skb tracepoint to the python
     scripts using it.

   - Add 'perf bench syscall fork' benchmark.

   - Add support for printing PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_UNC (Uncached access) in
     'perf mem'.

   - Fix wrong size expectation for perf test 'Setup struct
     perf_event_attr' caused by the patch adding
     perf_event_attr::config3.

   - Fix some spelling mistakes"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "s390:

   - More phys_to_virt conversions

   - Improvement of AP management for VSIE (nested virtualization)

  ARM64:

   - Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that
     plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.

   - New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
     to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features being
     moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.

   - Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
     applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
     per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one. This
     last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on top.

   - A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
     affecting the EL1&amp;0 translation regime just after having having
     taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
     ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&amp;0 have completed.

   - The usual selftest fixes and improvements.

  x86:

   - Optimize CR0.WP toggling by avoiding an MMU reload when TDP is
     enabled, and by giving the guest control of CR0.WP when EPT is
     enabled on VMX (VMX-only because SVM doesn't support per-bit
     controls)

   - Add CR0/CR4 helpers to query single bits, and clean up related code
     where KVM was interpreting kvm_read_cr4_bits()'s "unsigned long"
     return as a bool

   - Move AMD_PSFD to cpufeatures.h and purge KVM's definition

   - Avoid unnecessary writes+flushes when the guest is only adding new
     PTEs

   - Overhaul .sync_page() and .invlpg() to utilize .sync_page()'s
     optimizations when emulating invalidations

   - Clean up the range-based flushing APIs

   - Revamp the TDP MMU's reaping of Accessed/Dirty bits to clear a
     single A/D bit using a LOCK AND instead of XCHG, and skip all of
     the "handle changed SPTE" overhead associated with writing the
     entire entry

   - Track the number of "tail" entries in a pte_list_desc to avoid
     having to walk (potentially) all descriptors during insertion and
     deletion, which gets quite expensive if the guest is spamming
     fork()

   - Disallow virtualizing legacy LBRs if architectural LBRs are
     available, the two are mutually exclusive in hardware

   - Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs (notably
     PERF_CAPABILITIES) after KVM_RUN, similar to CPUID features

   - Overhaul the vmx_pmu_caps selftest to better validate
     PERF_CAPABILITIES

   - Apply PMU filters to emulated events and add test coverage to the
     pmu_event_filter selftest

   - AMD SVM:
       - Add support for virtual NMIs
       - Fixes for edge cases related to virtual interrupts

   - Intel AMX:
       - Don't advertise XTILE_CFG in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID if
         XTILE_DATA is not being reported due to userspace not opting in
         via prctl()
       - Fix a bug in emulation of ENCLS in compatibility mode
       - Allow emulation of NOP and PAUSE for L2
       - AMX selftests improvements
       - Misc cleanups

  MIPS:

   - Constify MIPS's internal callbacks (a leftover from the hardware
     enabling rework that landed in 6.3)

  Generic:

   - Drop unnecessary casts from "void *" throughout kvm_main.c

   - Tweak the layout of "struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache" to shrink the
     struct size by 8 bytes on 64-bit kernels by utilizing a padding
     hole

  Documentation:

   - Fix goof introduced by the conversion to rST"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
   testing of our pte state changing.

 - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

 - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

 - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
   selftests/mm code.

 - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
   pages.

 - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

 - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
