Stephen Rothwell reported htmldocs warning when merging bpf-next tree,
which was the same warning as reported by kernel test robot:
Documentation/bpf/graph_ds_impl.rst:62: ERROR: Error in "code-block" directive:
maximum 1 argument(s) allowed, 12 supplied.
The error is due to Sphinx confuses node_data struct declaration with
code-block directive option.
Fix the warning by separating the code-block marker with node_data struct

It is difficult to intuit the semantics of owning and non-owning
references from verifier code. In order to keep the high-level details
from being lost in the mailing list, this patch adds documentation
explaining semantics and details.
The target audience of doc added in this patch is folks working on BPF
internals, as there's focus on "what should the verifier do here". Via
reorganization or copy-and-paste, much of the content can probably be
repurposed for BPF program writer audience as well.

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.

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.

Kfuncs currently support specifying the KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag to signal
to the verifier that it should enforce that a BPF program passes it a
"safe", trusted pointer. Currently, "safe" means that the pointer is
either PTR_TO_CTX, or is refcounted. There may be cases, however, where
the kernel passes a BPF program a safe / trusted pointer to an object
that the BPF program wishes to use as a kptr, but because the object
does not yet have a ref_obj_id from the perspective of the verifier, the
program would be unable to pass it to a KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS
kfunc.
The solution is to expand the set of pointers that are considered
trusted according to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, so that programs can invoke kfuncs
with these pointers without getting rejected by the verifier.
There is already a PTR_UNTRUSTED flag that is set in some scenarios,
such as when a BPF program reads a kptr directly from a map
without performing a bpf_kptr_xchg() call. These pointers of course can
and should be rejected by the verifier. Unfortunately, however,
PTR_UNTRUSTED does not cover all the cases for safety that need to
be addressed to adequately protect kfuncs. Specifically, pointers
obtained by a BPF program "walking" a struct are _not_ considered
PTR_UNTRUSTED according to BPF. For example, say that we were to add a
kfunc called bpf_task_acquire(), with KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, to
acquire a struct task_struct *. If we only used PTR_UNTRUSTED to signal
that a task was unsafe to pass to a kfunc, the verifier would mistakenly
allow the following unsafe BPF program to be loaded:
SEC("tp_btf/task_newtask")
int BPF_PROG(unsafe_acquire_task,
struct task_struct *task,
u64 clone_flags)
{
struct task_struct *acquired, *nested;
nested = task->last_wakee;
/* Would not be rejected by the verifier. */
acquired = bpf_task_acquire(nested);
if (!acquired)
return 0;
bpf_task_release(acquired);
return 0;
}
To address this, this patch defines a new type flag called PTR_TRUSTED
which tracks whether a PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer is safe to pass to a
KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc or a BPF helper function. PTR_TRUSTED pointers are
passed directly from the kernel as a tracepoint or struct_ops callback
argument. Any nested pointer that is obtained from walking a PTR_TRUSTED
pointer is no longer PTR_TRUSTED. From the example above, the struct
task_struct *task argument is PTR_TRUSTED, but the 'nested' pointer
obtained from 'task->last_wakee' is not PTR_TRUSTED.
A subsequent patch will add kfuncs for storing a task kfunc as a kptr,
and then another patch will add selftests to validate.

Allow passing known constant scalars as arguments to kfuncs that do not
represent a size parameter. We use mark_chain_precision for the constant
scalar argument to mark it precise. This makes the search pruning
optimization of verifier more conservative for such kfunc calls, and
each non-distinct argument is considered unequivalent.
We will use this support to then expose a bpf_obj_new function where it
takes the local type ID of a type in program BTF, and returns a
PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC to the local type, and allows programs to
allocate their own objects.
Each type ID resolves to a distinct type with a possibly distinct size,
hence the type ID constant matters in terms of program safety and its
precision needs to be checked between old and cur states inside regsafe.
The use of mark_chain_precision enables this.

This change documents the process for running the BPF CI before
submitting a patch to the upstream mailing list, similar to what happens
if a patch is send to bpf@vger.kernel.org: it builds kernel and
selftests and runs the latter on different architecture (but it notably
does not cover stylistic checks such as cover letter verification).
Running BPF CI this way can help achieve better test coverage ahead of
patch submission than merely running locally (say, using
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh), as additional architectures may
be covered as well.

Sphinx reported unknown target warning:
Documentation/bpf/bpf_design_QA.rst:329: WARNING: Unknown target name: "bpf".
The warning is caused by BPF type name prefix ("bpf_") which is written
without escaping the trailing underscore.
Escape the underscore to fix the warning. While at it, wrap the
containing paragraph in less than 80 characters.

The kernel recognizes some special BPF types in map values or local
kptrs. Document that only bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer will preserve
backwards compatibility, and kptr will preserve backwards compatibility
for the operations on the pointer, not the types supported for such
kptrs.
For local kptrs, document that there are no stability guarantees at all.
Finally, document that 'bpf_' namespace is reserved for adding future
special fields, hence BPF programs must not declare types with such
names in their programs and still expect backwards compatibility.

Core
----
- Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
test from previous fixes.
- Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO.
This significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.
- Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.
- Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().
BPF
---
- Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.
- Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
programs.
- Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).
- Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
task/thread.
- Add ability to call selected destructive functions.
Expose crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump.
Use CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.
- Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
by integrating with the rstat framework.
- Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs.
Only structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.
- Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).
- Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
related programs.
- Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.
- Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.
- Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.
Protocols
---------
- WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link
Operation (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).
- vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.
- SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.
- Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.
- IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.
- TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state
and RST packets.
- TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
and cache pressure).
- MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.
- Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.
- Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.
- Open vSwitch:
- Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
- Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.
- TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.
- Remove DECnet support.
Driver API
----------
- Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port
in DSA switches, at runtime.
- Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.
- Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting
per traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.
- Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
and link-side speeds.
- Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.
- Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.
- Require that flash component name used during update matches one
of the components for which version is reported by info_get().
- Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much
as possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like
a good idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.
- Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.
