Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-04-21 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Initial work on BPF Type Format (BTF) is added, which is a meta data format which describes the data types of BPF programs / maps. BTF has its roots from CTF (Compact C-Type format) with a number of changes to it. First use case is to provide a generic pretty print capability for BPF maps inspection, later work will also add BTF to bpftool. pahole support to convert dwarf to BTF will be upstreamed as well (https://github.com/iamkafai/pahole/tree/btf), from Martin. 2) Add a new xdp_bpf_adjust_tail() BPF helper for XDP that allows for changing the data_end pointer. Only shrinking is currently supported which helps for crafting ICMP control messages. Minor changes in drivers have been added where needed so they recalc the packet's length also when data_end was adjusted, from Nikita. 3) Improve bpftool to make it easier to feed hex bytes via cmdline for map operations, from Quentin. 4) Add support for various missing BPF prog types and attach types that have been added to kernel recently but neither to bpftool nor libbpf yet. Doc and bash completion updates have been added as well for bpftool, from Andrey. 5) Proper fix for avoiding to leak info stored in frame data on page reuse for the two bpf_xdp_adjust_{head,meta} helpers by disallowing to move the pointers into struct xdp_frame area, from Jesper. 6) Follow-up compile fix from BTF in order to include stdbool.h in libbpf, from Björn. 7) Few fixes in BPF sample code, that is, a typo on the netdevice in a comment and fixup proper dump of XDP action code in the tracepoint exception, from Wang and Jesper. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
