pull-request: bpf-next 2022-04-09
We've added 63 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 68 files changed, 4852 insertions(+), 619 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Add libbpf support for USDT (User Statically-Defined Tracing) probes.
USDTs are an abstraction built on top of uprobes, critical for tracing
and BPF, and widely used in production applications, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) While Andrii was adding support for x86{-64}-specific logic of parsing
USDT argument specification, Ilya followed-up with USDT support for s390
architecture, from Ilya Leoshkevich.
3) Support name-based attaching for uprobe BPF programs in libbpf. The format
supported is `u[ret]probe/binary_path:[raw_offset|function[+offset]]`, e.g.
attaching to libc malloc can be done in BPF via SEC("uprobe/libc.so.6:malloc")
now, from Alan Maguire.
4) Various load/store optimizations for the arm64 JIT to shrink the image
size by using arm64 str/ldr immediate instructions. Also enable pointer
authentication to verify return address for JITed code, from Xu Kuohai.
5) BPF verifier fixes for write access checks to helper functions, e.g.
rd-only memory from bpf_*_cpu_ptr() must not be passed to helpers that
write into passed buffers, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.
6) Fix overly excessive stack map allocation for its base map structure and
buckets which slipped-in from cleanups during the rlimit accounting removal
back then, from Yuntao Wang.
7) Extend the unstable CT lookup helpers for XDP and tc/BPF to report netfilter
connection tracking tuple direction, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
8) Improve bpftool dump to show BPF program/link type names, Milan Landaverde.
9) Minor cleanups all over the place from various others.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
