Now user_events auto-cleanup upon the last reference by default. This
makes it not possible to use the dynamics event file via tracefs.
Document that auto-cleanup is enabled by default and remove the refernce
to /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events file to make this clear.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".
Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can
state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much
is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the
task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.
This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux,
but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
- The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions
were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to
it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function
to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions
in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can
be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.

- User events are finally ready!
After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked
down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user
space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user
space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this
patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if
something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell
the kernel about these events, which will show up in the
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be
enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell
the application to start writing to the kernel.
See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
- Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but
instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF)
can register their own trampoline for performance reasons.
- Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than
kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on
ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed
as dynamic events.
- More updates to references to the obsolete path of
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
- Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line
by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that
have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the
data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print.
Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
- Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that
was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for
debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by
a bpf program or live patching.
- Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of
the events. It's easier to read by humans.
- Some minor fixes and clean ups.

can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:
echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events
we will get the following trace log:

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

There's been several times where an event records a function address in
its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function
name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size,
and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end".
But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts.
Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not
be known. For example, on the boot command line:
trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init"
To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the
field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "=="
and "!=".

Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data
instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the
events by wildcard symbol name.
e.g.
# echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events
# cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format
name: wqfunc
ID: 2110
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname)
Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the
print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing
ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual
"symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

Default value of maxactive is set as num_possible_cpus() for nonpreemptable
systems. For a 2-core system, only 2 kretprobe instances would be allocated
in default, then these 2 instances for execve kretprobe are very likely to
be used up with a pipelined command.
Here's the testcase: a shell script was added to crontab, and the content
of the script is:
#!/bin/sh
do_something_magic `tr -dc a-z < /dev/urandom | head -c 10`
cron will trigger a series of program executions (4 times every hour). Then
events loss would be noticed normally after 3-4 hours of testings.
The issue is caused by a burst of series of execve requests. The best number
of kretprobe instances could be different case by case, and should be user's
duty to determine, but num_possible_cpus() as the default value is inadequate
especially for systems with small number of cpus.
This patch enables the logic for preemption as default, thus increases the
minimum of maxactive to 10 for nonpreemptable systems.

Merge tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull setgid inheritance updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to make setgid inheritance consistent between
modifying a file and when changing ownership or mode as this has been
a repeated source of very subtle bugs. The gist is that we perform the
same permission checks in the write path as we do in the ownership and
mode changing paths after this series where we're currently doing
different things.
We've already made setgid inheritance a lot more consistent and
reliable in the last releases by moving setgid stripping from the
individual filesystems up into the vfs. This aims to make the logic
even more consistent and easier to understand and also to fix
long-standing overlayfs setgid inheritance bugs. Miklos was nice
enough to just let me carry the trivial overlayfs patches from Amir
too.
Below is a more detailed explanation how the current difference in
setgid handling lead to very subtle bugs exemplified via overlayfs
which is a victim of the current rules. I hope this explains why I
think taking the regression risk here is worth it.
A long while ago I found a few setgid inheritance bugs in overlayfs in
the write path in certain conditions. Amir recently picked this back
up in [1] and I jumped on board to fix this more generally.
On the surface all that overlayfs would need to fix setgid inheritance
would be to call file_remove_privs() or file_modified() but actually
that isn't enough because the setgid inheritance api is wildly
inconsistent in that area.
Before this pr setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s old
should_remove_suid() helper was inconsistent with other parts of the
vfs. Specifically, it only raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is
S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the inode isn't in the caller's groups
and the caller isn't privileged over the inode although we require
this already in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and so all
filesystem implement this requirement implicitly because they have to
use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs
in xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping
works correctly when performing various write-like operations as an
unprivileged user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the
file has the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP
set.
On a regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the
file is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE.
Now notify_change() sees that ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which
will end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will
hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group
of the inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised
which has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits
are stripped even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't
in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and
the bug shows up more clearly.
When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from ovl_fallocate()'s call to
file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID might be
raised but because the check in notify_change() is questioning the
ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be stripped
the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
/* GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS */
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have
notify_change() not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't
make any sense in the first place because the caller must calculate
the flags via should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise
ATTR_KILL_SGID
Note that some xfstests will now fail as these patches will cause the
setgid bit to be lost in certain conditions for unprivileged users
modifying a setgid file when they would've been kept otherwise. I
think this risk is worth taking and I explained and mentioned this
multiple times on the list [2].
Enforcing the rules consistently across write operations and
chmod/chown will lead to losing the setgid bit in cases were it
might've been retained before.
While I've mentioned this a few times but it's worth repeating just to
make sure that this is understood. For the sake of maintainability,
consistency, and security this is a risk worth taking.
If we really see regressions for workloads the fix is to have special
setgid handling in the write path again with different semantics from
chmod/chown and possibly additional duct tape for overlayfs. I'll
update the relevant xfstests with if you should decide to merge this
second setgid cleanup.
Before that people should be aware that there might be failures for
fstests where unprivileged users modify a setgid file"

While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.
Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

- "perf lock" improvements:
- Add -E/--entries option to limit the number of entries to display, say to ask for
just the top 5 contended locks.
- Add -q/--quiet option to suppress header and debug messages.
- Add a 'perf test' kernel lock contention entry to test 'perf lock'.
- "perf lock contention" improvements:
- Ask BPF's bpf_get_stackid() to skip some callchain entries.
The ones closer to the tooling are bpf related and not that interesting, the
ones calling the locking function are the ones we're interested in, example
of a full, unskipped callstack:
- Allow changing the callstack depth and number of entries to skip.

0xffffffffbb841015 tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
0xffffffffbb8409ee tick_irq_enter+0x9e
- Show full callstack in verbose mode (-v option), sometimes this is desirable
instead of showing just one callstack entry.
- Allow multiple time ranges in 'perf record --delay' to help in reducing the
amount of data collected from hardware tracing (Intel PT, etc) when there is
a rough idea of periods of time where events of interest take time.
- Add Intel PT to record only decoder debug messages when error happens.
- Improve layout of Intel PT man page.
- Add new branch types: alignment, data and inst faults and arch specific ones,
such as fiq, debug_halt, debug_exit, debug_inst and debug_data on arm64.
Kernel enablement went thru the tip tree.
- Fix 'perf probe' error log check in 'perf test' when no debuginfo is
available.
- Fix 'perf stat' aggregation mode logic, it should be looking at the CPU
not at the core number.
- Fix flags parsing in 'perf trace' filters.
- Introduce compact encoding of CPU range encoding on perf.data, to avoid
having a bitmap with all the CPUs.
- Improvements to the 'perf stat' metrics, including adding "core_wide", and
computing "smt" from the CPU topology.
- Add support to the new PERF_FORMAT_LOST perf_event_attr.read_format, that allows
tooling to ask for the precise number of lost samples for a given event.
- Add 'addr' sort key to see just the address of sampled instructions:
$ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]

4.43% 0xffffffff8de01087
perf annotate: Toggle full address <-> offset display
- Add 'f' hotkey to the 'perf annotate' TUI interface when in 'disassembler output'
mode ('o' hotkey) to toggle showing full virtual address or just the offset.
- Cache DSO build-ids when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP records for pre-existing threads,
at the start of a 'perf record' session, speeding up that record startup phase.
- Add a command line option to specify build ids in 'perf inject'.
- Update JSON event files for the Intel alderlake, broadwell, broadwellde,
broadwellx, cascadelakex, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex, ivybridge,
ivytown, jaketown, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, skylake, skylakex, and
tigerlake processors.
- Update vendor JSON event files for the ARM Neoverse V1 and E1 platforms.
- Add a 'perf test' entry for 'perf mem' where a struct has false sharing and
this gets detected in the 'perf mem' output, tested with Intel, AMD and ARM64
systems.
- Add a 'perf test' entry to test the resolution of java symbols, where an
output like this is expected:
8.18% jshell jitted-50116-29.so [.] Interpreter
0.75% Thread-1 jitted-83602-1670.so [.] jdk.internal.jimage.BasicImageReader.getString(int)
- Add tests for the ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing feature, with specially
crafted pureloop, memcpy, thread loop and unroll tread that then gets
traced and the output compared with expected output.
Documentation explaining it is also included.
- Add per thread Intel PT 'perf test' entry to check that PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events
are recorded per CPU, resulting in a mixture of per thread and per CPU events and mmaps,
verify that this gets all recorded correctly.
- Introduce pthread mutex wrappers to allow for building with clang's
-Wthread-safety, i.e. using the "guarded_by" "pt_guarded_by" "lockable",
"exclusive_lock_function", "exclusive_trylock_function",
"exclusive_locks_required", and "no_thread_safety_analysis" compiler function
attributes.
- Fix empty version number when building outside of a git repo.
- Improve feature detection display when multiple versions of a feature are present, such
as for binutils libbfd, that has a mix of possible ways to detect according to the
Linux distribution.
Previously in some cases we had:
Auto-detecting system features
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty-z: [ on ]
<SNIP>
Now for this case we show just the main feature:
Auto-detecting system features
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
<SNIP>
- Remove some unused structs, variables, macros, function prototypes and
includes from various places.

Major changes:
- Changed location of tracing repo from personal git repo to:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git
- Added Masami Hiramatsu as co-maintainer
- Updated MAINTAINERS file to separate out FTRACE as it is
more than just TRACING.
Minor changes:
- Added Mark Rutland as FTRACE reviewer
- Updated user_events to make it on its way to remove the BROKEN tag.
The changes should now be acceptable but will run it through
a cycle and hopefully we can remove the BROKEN tag next release.
- Added filtering to eprobes
- Added a delta time to the benchmark trace event
- Have the histogram and filter callbacks called via a switch
statement instead of indirect functions. This speeds it up to
avoid retpolines.

ring buffer to fill up to its watermark.
- New ioctl() on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up ring buffer
waiters.
- Wake up waiters when the ring buffer is disabled.
A reader may block when the ring buffer is disabled,
but if it was blocked when the ring buffer is disabled
it should then wake up.
Fixes:
- Allow splice to read partially read ring buffer pages
Fixes splice never moving forward.
- Fix inverted compare that made the "shortest" ring buffer
wait queue actually the longest.
- Fix a race in the ring buffer between resetting a page when
a writer goes to another page, and the reader.
- Fix ftrace accounting bug when function hooks are added at
boot up before the weak functions are set to "disabled".
- Fix bug that freed a user allocated snapshot buffer when
enabling a tracer.
- Fix possible recursive locks in osnoise tracer
- Fix recursive locking direct functions
- And other minor clean ups and fixes

- Runtime verification infrastructure
This is the biggest change for this pull request. It introduces the
runtime verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety
critical systems. It allows for deterministic automata models to be
inserted into the kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the
information on these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.
If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will then
activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or even panic
the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect and can recover
from).
- Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to be
confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running (WWNR).
- Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace several
vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.
- eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is left
off.
- The rest is various cleanups and fixes.

Per task wakeup while not running (wwnr) monitor.
This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running in the
processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a task about to
sleep:
1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
2: schedule();
And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two,
waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is
running.
Q: Why do we need this model, so?
A: To test the reactors.

The wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the
wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:
|
|
v
#==================#
H preemptive H <+
#==================# |
| |
| preempt_disable | preempt_enable
v |
sched_waking +------------------+ |
+--------------- | | |
| | non_preemptive | |
+--------------> | | -+
+------------------+
The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because
of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count
and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some
inconsistencies might happen.
The documentation illustrates one of these cases.

Currently when creating a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events
It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is
the same as symbol name.
This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS]
It will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.
Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

...
- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel
describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page
mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that
event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true,
telling the user space application to start writing the event to the
tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set,
the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when
the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that
happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as
well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions.
Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace
event parsers can still know how to parse that array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will
make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at
only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.
- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for
mapping).

Documentation: fix firewire.rst ABI file path error
docs: ftrace: fix ambiguous sentence

New:
- The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools directory.
- Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~ "match-string"
- eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.
- trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads to safely
write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing user space, but we will
not know until we hear about it, and then can revert the change if need be.
- New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.
- Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time instead of
at bootup.
Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:
- Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but the offset
to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the descriptor and not
the beginning of the event. Needed for user defined events.
- Some simplification of event trigger code.
- Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder other
event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined events.
And other small fixes and clean ups.

Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to
filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to
specify it.
Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the
field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the
appropriate action to read that pointer.

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:
echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable
The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. The following bug happened:

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly
and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet,
the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as
well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.
To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.
Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space
and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to
copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always
pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that
the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have
the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better
than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.
The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.
For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:
># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
Gives a misleading and wrong result.
Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.
Now we can even do:
># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active]
#
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14
{ common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39
{ common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184
Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.
I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

Merge tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes:
- Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from
hell, but it has gotten a little better.
- Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the
tool itself.
- A major update to the pathname lookup documentation.
- Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create
references from filenames without all the extra noise.
- The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.
Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and
warning fixes"

The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers to
found souces of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. Like cyclictest,
the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then
computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current
time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main
goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers.
Usage
Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the
tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing).
For example:
[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer
It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:
[root@f32 tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: timerlat

<...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns
The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that
prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency*
observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread.
The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the
same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field
serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution.
The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context
the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be
delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs
or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay
can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by
postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the
scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can
also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs.
The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents.
For example:
[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer
[root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > set_event
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us
[root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace
