89dd9bb255 docs/bpf: Fix a typo in verifier.rst
In verifier.rst, there is a typo in section 'Register parentage chains'.
Caller saved registers are r0-r5, callee saved registers are r6-r9.

Here by context it means callee saved registers rather than caller saved
registers. This may confuse users.

04efaebd72 bpf, docs: Address comments from IETF Area Directors
This patch does the following to address IETF feedback:

* Remove mention of "program type" and reference future
  docs (and mention platform-specific docs exist) for
  helper functions and BTF. Addresses Roman Danyliw's
  comments based on GENART review from Ines Robles [0].

* Add reference for endianness as requested by John
  Scudder [1].

* Added bit numbers to top of 32-bit wide format diagrams
  as requested by Paul Wouters [2].

* Added more text about why BPF doesn't stand for anything, based
  on text from ebpf.io [3], as requested by Eric Vyncke and
  Gunter Van de Velde [4].

* Replaced "htobe16" (and similar) and the direction-specific
  description with just "be16" (and similar) and a direction-agnostic
  description, to match the direction-agnostic description in
  the Byteswap Instructions section. Based on feedback from Eric
  Vyncke [5].

4e1215d9a1 bpf, docs: clarify sign extension of 64-bit use of 32-bit imm
imm is defined as a 32-bit signed integer.

{MOV, K, ALU64} says it does "dst = src" (where src is 'imm') and it
does do dst = (s64)imm, which in that sense does sign extend imm. The MOVSX
instruction is explained as sign extending, so added the example of
{MOV, K, ALU64} to make this more clear.

{JLE, K, JMP} says it does "PC += offset if dst <= src" (where src is 'imm',
and the comparison is unsigned). This was apparently ambiguous to some
readers as to whether the comparison was "dst <= (u64)(u32)imm" or
"dst <= (u64)(s64)imm" so added an example to make this more clear.

4e73e1bc1a bpf, docs: Use IETF format for field definitions in instruction-set.rst
In preparation for publication as an IETF RFC, the WG chairs asked me
to convert the document to use IETF packet format for field layout, so
this patch attempts to make it consistent with other IETF documents.

Some fields that are not byte aligned were previously inconsistent
in how values were defined.  Some were defined as the value of the
byte containing the field (like 0x20 for a field holding the high
four bits of the byte), and others were defined as the value of the
field itself (like 0x2).  This PR makes them be consistent in using
just the values of the field itself, which is IETF convention.

As a result, some of the defines that used BPF_* would no longer
match the value in the spec, and so this patch also drops the BPF_*
prefix to avoid confusion with the defines that are the full-byte
equivalent values.  For consistency, BPF_* is then dropped from
other fields too.  BPF_<foo> is thus the Linux implementation-specific
define for <foo> as it appears in the BPF ISA specification.

The syntax BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU only worked for full-byte
values so the convention {ADD, X, ALU} is proposed for referring
to field values instead.

Also replace the redundant "LSB bits" with "least significant bits".

be seen at:

896880ff30 bpf: Replace bpf_lpm_trie_key 0-length array with flexible array
Replace deprecated 0-length array in struct bpf_lpm_trie_key with
flexible array. Found with GCC 13:

   82 |         __u8    data[0];        /* Arbitrary size */
      |                 ^~~~

And found at run-time under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:218:49
  index 0 is out of range for type '__u8 [*]'

Changing struct bpf_lpm_trie_key is difficult since has been used by
userspace. For example, in Cilium:

	struct egress_gw_policy_key {
	        struct bpf_lpm_trie_key lpm_key;
	        __u32 saddr;
	        __u32 daddr;
	};

While direct references to the "data" member haven't been found, there
are static initializers what include the final member. For example,
the "{}" here:

        struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = {
                .lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} },
                .saddr   = CLIENT_IP,
                .daddr   = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP & 0Xffffff,
        };

To avoid the build time and run time warnings seen with a 0-sized
trailing array for struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, introduce a new struct
that correctly uses a flexible array for the trailing bytes,
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8. As part of this, include the "header"
portion (which is just the "prefixlen" member), so it can be used
by anything building a bpf_lpr_trie_key that has trailing members that
aren't a u8 flexible array (like the self-test[1]), which is named
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr.

Unfortunately, C++ refuses to parse the __struct_group() helper, so
it is not possible to define struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr directly in
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8, so we must open-code the union directly.

Adjust the kernel code to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8 through-out,
and for the selftest to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Add a comment
to the UAPI header directing folks to the two new options.

but there seems to be consensus on the principles above.

v1->v2: fixed typo pointed out by David Vernet

v2->v3: Moved multiplication to same groups as division/modulo

088a464ed5 bpf, docs: Clarify which legacy packet instructions existed
As discussed on the BPF IETF mailing list (see link), this patch updates
the "Legacy BPF Packet access instructions" section to clarify which
instructions are deprecated (vs which were never defined and so are not
deprecated).

6f3189f38a bpf: treewide: Annotate BPF kfuncs in BTF
This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:

1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
   each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
   generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag

To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

ced33f2cfa docs/bpf: Improve documentation of 64-bit immediate instructions
For 64-bit immediate instruction, 'BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD' and
src_reg=[0-6], the current documentation describes the 64-bit
immediate is constructed by:

  imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm

But actually imm64 is only used when src_reg=0. For all other
variants (src_reg != 0), 'imm' and 'next_imm' have separate special
encoding requirement and imm64 cannot be easily used to describe
instruction semantics.

This patch clarifies that 64-bit immediate instructions use
two 32-bit immediate values instead of a 64-bit immediate value,
so later describing individual 64-bit immediate instructions
becomes less confusing.

391145ba2a bpf: Add __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs macros
BPF kfuncs are meant to be called from BPF programs. Accordingly, most
kfuncs are not called from anywhere in the kernel, which the
-Wmissing-prototypes warning is unhappy about. We've peppered
__diag_ignore_all("-Wmissing-prototypes", ... everywhere kfuncs are
defined in the codebase to suppress this warning.

This patch adds two macros meant to bound one or many kfunc definitions.
All existing kfunc definitions which use these __diag calls to suppress
-Wmissing-prototypes are migrated to use the newly-introduced macros.
A new __diag_ignore_all - for "-Wmissing-declarations" - is added to the
__bpf_kfunc_start_defs macro based on feedback from Andrii on an earlier
version of this patch [0] and another recent mailing list thread [1].

In the future we might need to ignore different warnings or do other
kfunc-specific things. This change will make it easier to make such
modifications for all kfunc defs.

3888fa134e docs/bpf: Fix "file doesn't exist" warnings in {llvm_reloc,btf}.rst
scripts/documentation-file-ref-check reports warnings for (valid) cross-links
of form:

  :ref:`Documentation/bpf/btf <BTF_Ext_Section>`

Adding extension to the file name helps to avoid the warning, e.g:

  :ref:`Documentation/bpf/btf.rst <BTF_Ext_Section>`

- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated
   HTML documentation.  This took some work to figure out how to do it
   without slowing the docs build and without creating people who don't have
   Rust installed, but Carlos got there.
 
 - Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
   Documentation/arch/.
 
 - Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub
 
 ...plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes.

7d35eb1a18 bpf, docs: s/eBPF/BPF in standards documents
There isn't really anything other than just "BPF" at this point,
so referring to it as "eBPF" in our standards document just causes
unnecessary confusion. Let's just be consistent and use "BPF".

deb8840725 bpf, docs: Add abi.rst document to standardization subdirectory
As specified in the IETF BPF charter, the BPF working group has plans to
add one or more informational documents that recommend conventions and
guidelines for producing portable BPF program binaries. The
instruction-set.rst document currently contains a "Registers and calling
convention" subsection which dictates a calling convention that belongs
in an ABI document, rather than an instruction set document. Let's move
it to a new abi.rst document so we can clean it up. The abi.rst document
will of course be significantly changed and expanded upon over time. For
now, it's really just a placeholder which will contain ABI-specific
language that doesn't belong in other documents.

aee1720eeb bpf, docs: Move linux-notes.rst to root bpf docs tree
In commit 4d496be9ca ("bpf,docs: Create new standardization
subdirectory"), I added a standardization/ directory to the BPF
documentation, which will contain the docs that will be standardized
as part of the effort with the IETF.

I included linux-notes.rst in that directory, but I shouldn't have. It
doesn't contain anything that will be standardized. Let's move it back
to Documentation/bpf.

be4033d360 docs/bpf: Add description for CO-RE relocations
Add a section on CO-RE relocations to llvm_relo.rst. Describe relevant .BTF.ext
structure, `enum bpf_core_relo_kind` and `struct bpf_core_relo` in some detail.

Description is based on doc-strings from:

  - include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:struct bpf_core_relo
  - tools/lib/bpf/relo_core.c:__bpf_core_types_match()
