[ Upstream commit d798ce3f4cab1b0d886b19ec5cc8e6b3d7e35081 ]

Ensure that trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID accesses perform PROBE_MEM handling in
raw_tp program. Without the previous fix, this selftest crashes the
kernel due to a NULL-pointer dereference. Also ensure that dead code
elimination does not kick in for checks on the pointer.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
   corresponding support in LLVM.

   It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
   GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
   compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
   JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
   attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
   bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.

 - Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.

   When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
   will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
   harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

 - Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
    - Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
    - Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
    - Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
      jumps in variable length encoding

 - BPF_LSM related:
    - Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
      fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
    - Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
    - Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks

 - Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
    - Allow kptrs in program provided structs
    - Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops

 - Important fixes:
    - Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
    - Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
    - Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
    - Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
    - Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
    - Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall

 - Selftests:
    - Add uprobe bench/stress tool
    - Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
    - Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
    - Convert older tests to test_progs framework
    - Add support for RISC-V
    - Few fixes when BPF programs are compiled with GCC-BPF backend
      (support for GCC-BPF in BPF CI is ongoing in parallel)
    - Add traffic monitor
    - Enable cross compile and musl libc

          uretprobes from 5.3 M/s to 5.8 M/s (+11%), as we have more
          work to do on uretprobes side.

          Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly
          better: 3.276 M/s to 3.396 M/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055

With uprobe_unregister() having grown a synchronize_srcu(), it becomes
fairly slow to call. Esp. since both users of this API call it in a
loop.

Peel off the sync_srcu() and do it once, after the loop.

We also need to add uprobe_unregister_sync() into uprobe_register()'s
error handling path, as we need to be careful about returning to the
caller before we have a guarantee that partially attached consumer won't
be called anymore. This is an unlikely slow path and this should be
totally fine to be slow in the case of a failed attach.

<title>selftests/bpf: Add tests for iter next method returning valid pointer</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7c5f7b16fe1b9d1eb0cbb46d20f57db4a912b6e0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds test cases for iter next method returning valid
pointer, which can also used as usage examples.

Currently iter next method should return valid pointer.

iter_next_trusted is the correct usage and test if iter next method
return valid pointer. bpf_iter_task_vma_next has KF_RET_NULL flag,
so the returned pointer may be NULL. We need to check if the pointer
is NULL before using it.

iter_next_trusted_or_null is the incorrect usage. There is no checking
before using the pointer, so it will be rejected by the verifier.

iter_next_rcu and iter_next_rcu_or_null are similar test cases for
KF_RCU_PROTECTED iterators.

iter_next_rcu_not_trusted is used to test that the pointer returned by
iter next method of KF_RCU_PROTECTED iterator cannot be passed in
KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs.

iter_next_ptr_mem_not_trusted is used to test that base type
PTR_TO_MEM should not be combined with type flag PTR_TRUSTED.

<title>selftests/bpf: Test gen_prologue and gen_epilogue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47e69431b57aee6c3c134014e7fca490ca8ca9d1</id>
<content type='text'>
This test adds a new struct_ops "bpf_testmod_st_ops" in bpf_testmod.
The ops of the bpf_testmod_st_ops is triggered by new kfunc calls
"bpf_kfunc_st_ops_test_*logue". These new kfunc calls are
primarily used by the SEC("syscall") program. The test triggering
sequence is like:
    SEC("syscall")
    syscall_prologue(struct st_ops_args *args)
        bpf_kfunc_st_op_test_prologue(args)
	    st_ops-&gt;test_prologue(args)

.gen_prologue adds 1000 to args-&gt;a
.gen_epilogue adds 10000 to args-&gt;a
.gen_epilogue will also set the r0 to 2 * args-&gt;a.

The .gen_prologue and .gen_epilogue of the bpf_testmod_st_ops
will test the prog-&gt;aux-&gt;attach_func_name to decide if
it needs to generate codes.

The main programs of the pro_epilogue.c will call a
new kfunc bpf_kfunc_st_ops_inc10 which does "args-&gt;a += 10".
It will also call a subprog() which does "args-&gt;a += 1".

This patch uses the test_loader infra to check the __xlated
instructions patched after gen_prologue and/or gen_epilogue.
The __xlated check is based on Eduard's example (Thanks!) in v1.

args-&gt;a is returned by the struct_ops prog (either the main prog
or the epilogue). Thus, the __retval of the SEC("syscall") prog
is checked. For example, when triggering the ops in the
'SEC("struct_ops/test_epilogue") int test_epilogue'
The expected args-&gt;a is +1 (subprog call) + 10 (kfunc call)
    	     	     	+ 10000 (.gen_epilogue) = 10011.
The expected return value is 2 * 10011 (.gen_epilogue).

This way uprobe_unregister() and uprobe_apply() can use "struct uprobe *"
rather than inode + offset. This simplifies the code and allows to avoid
the unnecessary find_uprobe() + put_uprobe() in these functions.

TODO: uprobe_unregister() still needs get_uprobe/put_uprobe to ensure that
this uprobe can't be freed before up_write(&amp;uprobe-&gt;register_rwsem).
