dc97391e66 sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked().  sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead.  This allows multiple pages and
multipage folios to be passed through.

fbc5669de6 bpf, docs: Document existing macros instead of deprecated
The BTF_TYPE_SAFE_NESTED macro was replaced by the BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED,
BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU, and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU_OR_NULL macros. Fix the docs
correspondingly.

25085b4e92 bpf/docs: Update documentation for new cpumask kfuncs
We recently added the bpf_cpumask_first_and() kfunc, and changed
bpf_cpumask_any() / bpf_cpumask_any_and() to
bpf_cpumask_any_distribute() and bpf_cpumask_any_distribute_and()
respectively. This patch adds an entry for the bpf_cpumask_first_and()
kfunc, and updates the documentation for the *any* kfuncs to the new

3bda08b636 bpf: Allow NULL buffers in bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw)
bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw) uses a user provided buffer if it can not provide
a pointer to a block of contiguous memory. This buffer is unused in the
case of local dynptrs, and may be unused in other cases as well. There
is no need to require the buffer, as the kfunc can just return NULL if
it was needed and not provided.

This adds another kfunc annotation, __opt, which combines with __sz and
__szk to allow the buffer associated with the size to be NULL. If the
buffer is NULL, the verifier does not check that the buffer is of
sufficient size.

1a986518b8 docs/bpf: Add LRU internals description and graph
Extend the bpf hashmap docs to include a brief description of the
internals of the LRU map type (setting appropriate API expectations),
including the original commit message from Martin and a variant on the
graph that I had presented during my Linux Plumbers Conference 2022
talk on "Pressure feedback for LRU map types"[0].

The node names in the dot file correspond roughly to the functions
where the logic for those decisions or steps is defined, to help
curious developers to cross-reference and update this logic if the
details of the LRU implementation ever differ from this description.

We've added 260 non-merge commits during the last 36 day(s) which contain
a total of 356 files changed, 21786 insertions(+), 11275 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Rework BPF verifier log behavior and implement it as a rotating log
   by default with the option to retain old-style fixed log behavior,
   from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
   in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
   params, from Christian Ehrig.

3) Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
   exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton,
   from Alexei Starovoitov.

4) Optimize hashmap lookups when key size is multiple of 4,
   from Anton Protopopov.

5) Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
   tasks to be stored in BPF maps, from David Vernet.

6) Add support for stashing local BPF kptr into a map value via
   bpf_kptr_xchg(). This is useful e.g. for rbtree node creation
   for new cgroups, from Dave Marchevsky.

7) Fix BTF handling of is_int_ptr to skip modifiers to work around
   tracing issues where a program cannot be attached, from Feng Zhou.

8) Migrate a big portion of test_verifier unit tests over to
   test_progs -a verifier_* via inline asm to ease {read,debug}ability,
   from Eduard Zingerman.

9) Several updates to the instruction-set.rst documentation
   which is subject to future IETF standardization
   (https://lwn.net/Articles/926882/), from Dave Thaler.

10) Fix BPF verifier in the __reg_bound_offset's 64->32 tnum sub-register
    known bits information propagation, from Daniel Borkmann.

11) Add skb bitfield compaction work related to BPF with the overall goal
    to make more of the sk_buff bits optional, from Jakub Kicinski.

12) BPF selftest cleanups for build id extraction which stand on its own
    from the upcoming integration work of build id into struct file object,
    from Jiri Olsa.

13) Add fixes and optimizations for xsk descriptor validation and several
    selftest improvements for xsk sockets, from Kal Conley.

14) Add BPF links for struct_ops and enable switching implementations
    of BPF TCP cong-ctls under a given name by replacing backing
    struct_ops map, from Kui-Feng Lee.

15) Remove a misleading BPF verifier env->bypass_spec_v1 check on variable
    offset stack read as earlier Spectre checks cover this,
    from Luis Gerhorst.

16) Fix issues in copy_from_user_nofault() for BPF and other tracers
    to resemble copy_from_user_nmi() from safety PoV, from Florian Lehner
    and Alexei Starovoitov.

17) Add --json-summary option to test_progs in order for CI tooling to
    ease parsing of test results, from Manu Bretelle.

18) Batch of improvements and refactoring to prep for upcoming
    bpf_local_storage conversion to bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free} allocator,
    from Martin KaFai Lau.

19) Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
    flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations,
    from Quentin Monnet.

20) Fix attaching fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm to modules by extracting
    the module name from BTF of the target and searching kallsyms of
    the correct module, from Viktor Malik.

21) Improve BPF verifier handling of '<const> <cond> <non_const>'
    to better detect whether in particular jmp32 branches are taken,
    from Yonghong Song.

22) Allow BPF TCP cong-ctls to write app_limited of struct tcp_sock.
    A built-in cc or one from a kernel module is already able to write
    to app_limited, from Yixin Shen.

6c831c4684 bpf: Treat KF_RELEASE kfuncs as KF_TRUSTED_ARGS
KF_RELEASE kfuncs are not currently treated as having KF_TRUSTED_ARGS,
even though they have a superset of the requirements of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS.
Like KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, KF_RELEASE kfuncs require a 0-offset argument, and
don't allow NULL-able arguments. Unlike KF_TRUSTED_ARGS which require
_either_ an argument with ref_obj_id > 0, _or_ (ref->type &
BPF_REG_TRUSTED_MODIFIERS) (and no unsafe modifiers allowed), KF_RELEASE
only allows for ref_obj_id > 0.  Because KF_RELEASE today doesn't
automatically imply KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, some of these requirements are
enforced in different ways that can make the behavior of the verifier
feel unpredictable. For example, a KF_RELEASE kfunc with a NULL-able
argument will currently fail in the verifier with a message like, "arg#0
is ptr_or_null_ expected ptr_ or socket" rather than "Possibly NULL
pointer passed to trusted arg0". Our intention is the same, but the
semantics are different due to implemenetation details that kfunc authors
and BPF program writers should not need to care about.

Let's make the behavior of the verifier more consistent and intuitive by
having KF_RELEASE kfuncs imply the presence of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. Our
eventual goal is to have all kfuncs assume KF_TRUSTED_ARGS by default
anyways, so this takes us a step in that direction.

Note that it does not make sense to assume KF_TRUSTED_ARGS for all
KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs. KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs can have looser semantics than
KF_RELEASE, with e.g. KF_RCU | KF_RET_NULL. We may want to have
KF_ACQUIRE imply KF_TRUSTED_ARGS _unless_ KF_RCU is specified, but that
can be left to another patch set, and there are no such subtleties to
address for KF_RELEASE.

0f10f647f4 bpf, docs: Use internal linking for link to netdev subsystem doc
Commit d56b0c461d ("bpf, docs: Fix link to netdev-FAQ target")
attempts to fix linking problem to undefined "netdev-FAQ" label
introduced in 287f4fa99a ("docs: Update references to netdev-FAQ")
by changing internal cross reference to netdev subsystem documentation
(Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst) to external one at
docs.kernel.org. However, the linking problem is still not
resolved, as the generated link points to non-existent netdev-FAQ
section of the external doc, which when clicked, will instead going
to the top of the doc.

Revert back to internal linking by simply mention the doc path while
massaging the leading text to the link, since the netdev subsystem
doc contains no FAQs but rather general information about the subsystem.

20c09d92fa bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu.
The life time of certain kernel structures like 'struct cgroup' is protected by RCU.
Hence it's safe to dereference them directly from __kptr tagged pointers in bpf maps.
The resulting pointer is MEM_RCU and can be passed to kfuncs that expect KF_RCU.
Derefrence of other kptr-s returns PTR_UNTRUSTED.

For example:
struct map_value {
   struct cgroup __kptr *cgrp;
};

SEC("tp_btf/cgroup_mkdir")
int BPF_PROG(test_cgrp_get_ancestors, struct cgroup *cgrp_arg, const char *path)
{
  struct cgroup *cg, *cg2;

  cg = bpf_cgroup_acquire(cgrp_arg); // cg is PTR_TRUSTED and ref_obj_id > 0
  bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cgrp, cg);

  cg2 = v->cgrp; // This is new feature introduced by this patch.
  // cg2 is PTR_MAYBE_NULL | MEM_RCU.
  // When cg2 != NULL, it's a valid cgroup, but its percpu_ref could be zero

  if (cg2)
    bpf_cgroup_ancestor(cg2, level); // safe to do.
}

03b77e17ae bpf: Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted.
__kptr meant to store PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers inside bpf maps.
The concept felt useful, but didn't get much traction,
since bpf_rdonly_cast() was added soon after and bpf programs received
a simpler way to access PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers
without going through restrictive __kptr usage.

Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted to indicate
its intended usage.
The main goal of __kptr_untrusted was to read/write such pointers
directly while bpf_kptr_xchg was a mechanism to access refcnted
kernel pointers. The next patch will allow RCU protected __kptr access
with direct read. At that point __kptr_untrusted will be deprecated.

This patch adds __uninit as a kfunc annotation.

This will be useful for scenarios such as for example in dynptrs,
indicating whether the dynptr should be checked by the verifier as an
initialized or an uninitialized dynptr.

Without this annotation, the alternative would be needing to hard-code
in the verifier the specific kfunc to indicate that arg should be
treated as an uninitialized arg.

ae256f9547 bpf, docs: Document BPF insn encoding in term of stored bytes
[Changes from V4:
- s/regs:16/regs:8 in figure.]

[Changes from V3:
- Back to src_reg and dst_reg, since they denote register numbers
  as opposed to the values stored in these registers.]

[Changes from V2:
- Use src and dst consistently in the document.
- Use a more graphical depiction of the 128-bit instruction.
- Remove `Where:' fragment.
- Clarify that unused bits are reserved and shall be zeroed.]

[Changes from V1:
- Use rst literal blocks for figures.
- Avoid using | in the basic instruction/pseudo instruction figure.
- Rebased to today's bpf-next master branch.]

This patch modifies instruction-set.rst so it documents the encoding
of BPF instructions in terms of how the bytes are stored (be it in an
ELF file or as bytes in a memory buffer to be loaded into the kernel
or some other BPF consumer) as opposed to how the instruction looks
like once loaded.

This is hopefully easier to understand by implementors looking to
generate and/or consume bytes conforming BPF instructions.

The patch also clarifies that the unused bytes in a pseudo-instruction
shall be cleared with zeros.

16c294a6aa bpf/docs: Document kfunc lifecycle / stability expectations
BPF kernel <-> kernel API stability has been discussed at length over
the last several weeks and months. Now that we've largely aligned over
kfuncs being the way forward, and BPF helpers being considered
functionally frozen, it's time to document the expectations for kfunc
lifecycles and stability so that everyone (BPF users, kfunc developers,
and maintainers) are all aligned, and have a crystal-clear understanding
of the expectations surrounding kfuncs.

To do that, this patch adds that documentation to the main kfuncs
documentation page via a new 'kfunc lifecycle expectations' section. The
patch describes how decisions are made in the kernel regarding whether
to include, keep, deprecate, or change / remove a kfunc. As described
very overtly in the patch itself, but likely worth highlighting here:

"kfunc stability" does not mean, nor ever will mean, "BPF APIs may block
development elsewhere in the kernel".

Rather, the intention and expectation is for kfuncs to be treated like
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols in the kernel. The goal is for kfuncs to be a
safe and valuable option for maintainers and kfunc developers to extend
the kernel, without tying anyone's hands, or imposing any kind of
restrictions on maintainers in the same way that UAPI changes do.

In addition to the 'kfunc lifecycle expectations' section, this patch
also adds documentation for a new KF_DEPRECATED kfunc flag which kfunc
authors or maintainers can choose to add to kfuncs if and when they
decide to deprecate them. Note that as described in the patch itself, a
kfunc need not be deprecated before being changed or removed -- this
flag is simply provided as an available deprecation mechanism for those
that want to provide a deprecation story / timeline to their users.
When necessary, kfuncs may be changed or removed to accommodate changes
elsewhere in the kernel without any deprecation at all.

98e6ab7a04 bpf: Document usage of the new __bpf_kfunc macro
Now that the __bpf_kfunc macro has been added to linux/btf.h, include a
blurb about it in the kfuncs.rst file. In order for the macro to
successfully render with .. kernel-doc, we'll also need to add it to the
c_id_attributes array.

027bdec893 bpf/docs: Document the nocast aliasing behavior of ___init
When comparing BTF IDs for pointers being passed to kfunc arguments, the
verifier will allow pointer types that are equivalent according to the C
standard. For example, for:

struct bpf_cpumask {
	cpumask_t cpumask;
	refcount_t usage;
};

The verifier will allow a struct bpf_cpumask * to be passed to a kfunc
that takes a const struct cpumask * (cpumask_t is a typedef of struct
cpumask). The exception to this rule is if a type is suffixed with
___init, such as:

struct nf_conn___init {
	struct nf_conn ct;
};

The verifier will _not_ allow a struct nf_conn___init * to be passed to
a kfunc that expects a struct nf_conn *. This patch documents this
behavior in the kfuncs documentation page.

d94cbde218 bpf/docs: Document how nested trusted fields may be defined
A prior change defined a new BTF_TYPE_SAFE_NESTED macro in the verifier
which allows developers to specify when a pointee field in a struct type
should inherit its parent pointer's trusted status. This patch updates
the kfuncs documentation to specify this macro and how it can be used.

bdbda39584 bpf/docs: Document cpumask kfuncs in a new file
Now that we've added a series of new cpumask kfuncs, we should document
them so users can easily use them. This patch adds a new cpumasks.rst
file to document them.
