Merge tag 'bpf-next-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next

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

Merge branch 'monitor network traffic for flaky test cases'

Kui-Feng Lee says:

====================
Capture packets in the background for flaky test cases related to
network features.

We have some flaky test cases that are difficult to debug without
knowing what the traffic looks like. Capturing packets, the CI log and
packet files may help developers to fix these flaky test cases.

This patch set monitors a few test cases. Recently, they have been
showing flaky behavior.

lo In IPv4 127.0.0.1:55907 > 127.0.0.1:40265: TCP, length 52, RST, ACK
Packet file: packets-2173-86-select_reuseport:sockhash_IPv4_TCP_LOOPBACK_test_detach_bpf-test.log
#280/87 select_reuseport/sockhash IPv4/TCP LOOPBACK test_detach_bpf:OK

The above block is the log of a test case. It shows every packet of a
connection. The captured packets are stored in the file called
packets-2173-86-select_reuseport:sockhash_IPv4_TCP_LOOPBACK_test_detach_bpf-test.log.

We have a set of high-level helpers and a test_progs option to
simplify the process of enabling the traffic monitor. netns_new() and
netns_free() are helpers used to create and delete namespaces while
also enabling the traffic monitor for the namespace based on the
patterns provided by the "-m" option of test_progs. The value of the
"-m" option is a list of patterns used to enable the traffic monitor
for a group of tests or a file containing patterns. CI can utilize
this option to enable monitoring.

traffic_monitor_start() and traffic_monitor_stop() are low-level
functions to start monitoring explicitly. You can have more controls,
however high-level helpers are preferred.

The following block is an example that monitors the network traffic of
a test case in a network namespace.

struct netns_obj *netns;

...
netns = netns_new("test", true);
if (!ASSERT_TRUE(netns, "netns_new"))
goto err;

... test ...

netns_free(netns);

netns_new() will create a network namespace named "test" and bring up
"lo" in the namespace. By passing "true" as the 2nd argument, it will
set the network namespace of the current process to
"test".netns_free() will destroy the namespace, and the process will
leave the "test" namespace if the struct netns_obj returned by
netns_new() is created with "true" as the 2nd argument. If the name of
the test matches the patterns given by the "-m" option, the traffic
monitor will be enabled for the "test" namespace as well.

The packet files are located in the directory "/tmp/tmon_pcap/". The
directory is intended to be compressed as a file so that developers
can download it from the CI.

This feature is enabled only if libpcap is available when building
selftests.
---

Changes from v7:

- Remove ":" with "__" from the file names of traffic logs. ':' would
cause an error of the upload-artifact action of github.

- Move remove_netns() to avoid a forward declaration.

Changes from v6:

- Remove unnecessary memcpy for addresses.

- Make packet messages similar to what tcpdump prints.

- Check return value of inet_ntop().

- Remove duplicated errno in messages.

- Print arphdr_type for not handled packets.

- Set dev "lo" in make_netns().

- Avoid stacking netns by moving traffic_monitor_start() to earlier
position.

- Remove the word "packet" from packet messages.

- Replace pipe with eventfd (wake_fd) to synchronize background threads.

Changes from v5:

- Remove "-m" completely if traffic monitor is not enabled.

Changes from v4:

- Use pkg-config to detect libpcap, and enable traffic monitor if
there is libpcap.

- Move traffic monitor functions back to network_helper.c, and pass
extra parameters to traffic_monitor_start().

- Use flockfile() & funlockfile() to avoid log interleaving.

- Show "In", "Out", "M" ... for captured packets.

- Print a warning message if the user pass a "-m" when libpcap is not
available.

- Bring up dev lo in netns_new().

Changes from v3:

- Rebase to the latest tip of bpf-next/for-next

- Change verb back to C string.

Changes from v2:

- Include pcap header files conditionally.

- Move the implementation of traffic monitor to test_progs.c.

- Include test name and namespace as a part of names of packet files.

- Parse and print ICMP(v4|v6) packets.

- Add netns_new() and netns_free() to create and delete network
namespaces.

- Make tc_redirect, sockmap_listen and select_reuseport test in a
network namespace.

- Add the "-m" option to test_progs to enable traffic monitor for the
tests matching the pattern. CI may use this option to enable
monitoring for a given set of tests.

Changes from v1:

- Move to calling libpcap directly to capture packets in a background
thread.

- Print parsed packet information for TCP and UDP packets.

- Print a warning message if the user pass a "-m" when libpcap is not
available.

- Bring up dev lo in netns_new().

Changes from v3:

- Rebase to the latest tip of bpf-next/for-next

- Change verb back to C string.

Changes from v2:

- Include pcap header files conditionally.

- Move the implementation of traffic monitor to test_progs.c.

- Include test name and namespace as a part of names of packet files.

- Parse and print ICMP(v4|v6) packets.

- Add netns_new() and netns_free() to create and delete network
namespaces.

- Make tc_redirect, sockmap_listen and select_reuseport test in a
network namespace.

- Add the "-m" option to test_progs to enable traffic monitor for the
tests matching the pattern. CI may use this option to enable
