BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED(struct bpf_iter__task) in verifier.c wanted to
teach BPF verifier that bpf_iter__task -&gt; task is a trusted ptr. But it
doesn't work well.

The reason is, bpf_iter__task -&gt; task would go through btf_ctx_access()
which enforces the reg_type of 'task' is ctx_arg_info-&gt;reg_type, and in
task_iter.c, we actually explicitly declare that the
ctx_arg_info-&gt;reg_type is PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL.

Actually we have a previous case like this[1] where PTR_TRUSTED is added to
the arg flag for map_iter.

This patch sets ctx_arg_info-&gt;reg_type is PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL |
PTR_TRUSTED in task_reg_info.

Similarly, bpf_cgroup_reg_info -&gt; cgroup is also PTR_TRUSTED since we are
under the protection of cgroup_mutex and we would check cgroup_is_dead()
in __cgroup_iter_seq_show().

This patch is to improve the user experience of the newly introduced
bpf_iter_css_task kfunc before hitting the mainline. The Fixes tag is
pointing to the commit introduced the bpf_iter_css_task kfunc.

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.

Our MPTCP CI complained [1] -- and KBuild too -- that it was no longer
possible to build the kernel without CONFIG_CGROUPS:

This patch simply surrounds with a #ifdef the new code requiring CGroups
support. It seems enough for the compiler and this is similar to
bpf_iter_css_{new,next,destroy}() functions where no other #ifdef have
been added in kernel/bpf/helpers.c and in the selftests.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
     route attribute.

   - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
     a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
     on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -&gt; 120Gbit).

   - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
       - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
       - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
       - improve inactive flow reporting
       - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

   - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
     replacement for the old MD5 option.

   - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
     TCP_INFO.

   - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

   - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
     shutdown().

   - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
     Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

   - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

   - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

   - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
     limit the number of wakeups.

   - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
     space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
     table.

   - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

   - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

   - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
     created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
     runtime.

   - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
     filters.

   - MCTP over I3C.

  BPF:

   - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
     the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

   - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
     be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
     flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

          https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

   - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
     per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
     value for the current CPU.

     This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
     storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

   - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
     for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
     running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
     of different services.

   - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
     made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

   - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
     use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

   - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

   - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

   - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
     fentry/fexit programs.

   - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
     kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

   - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

   - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

  Changes to common code:

   - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
     flexible array members.

   - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

  Driver API:

   - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
     mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

   - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
     querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
     network time distribution.

   - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
     Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

   - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

   - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
     correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
     addresses.

   - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

   - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

   - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

  Misc:

   - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

   - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

   - A lot of strncpy -&gt; strscpy and printf format fixes.

   - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

   - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

<title>bpf: Let bpf_iter_task_new accept null task ptr</title>

<content type='text'>
When using task_iter to iterate all threads of a specific task, we enforce
that the user must pass a valid task pointer to ensure safety. However,
when iterating all threads/process in the system, BPF verifier still
require a valid ptr instead of "nullable" pointer, even though it's
pointless, which is a kind of surprising from usability standpoint. It
would be nice if we could let that kfunc accept a explicit null pointer
when we are using BPF_TASK_ITER_ALL_{PROCS, THREADS} and a valid pointer
when using BPF_TASK_ITER_THREAD.

Given a trival kfunc:
	__bpf_kfunc void FN(struct TYPE_A *obj);

BPF Prog would reject a nullptr for obj. The error info is:
"arg#x pointer type xx xx must point to scalar, or struct with scalar"
reported by get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type(). The reg-&gt;type is SCALAR_VALUE and
the btf type of ref_t is not scalar or scalar_struct which leads to the
rejection of get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type.

This patch add "__nullable" annotation:
	__bpf_kfunc void FN(struct TYPE_A *obj__nullable);
Here __nullable indicates obj can be optional, user can pass a explicit
nullptr or a normal TYPE_A pointer. In get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type(), we will
detect whether the current arg is optional and register is null, If so,
return a new kfunc_ptr_arg_type KF_ARG_PTR_TO_NULL and skip to the next
arg in check_kfunc_args().

This patch adds kfuncs bpf_iter_task_{new,next,destroy} which allow
creation and manipulation of struct bpf_iter_task in open-coded iterator
style. BPF programs can use these kfuncs or through bpf_for_each macro to
iterate all processes in the system.

The API design keep consistent with SEC("iter/task"). bpf_iter_task_new()
accepts a specific task and iterating type which allows:

1. iterating all process in the system (BPF_TASK_ITER_ALL_PROCS)

2. iterating all threads in the system (BPF_TASK_ITER_ALL_THREADS)

3. iterating all threads of a specific task (BPF_TASK_ITER_PROC_THREADS)

This patch adds kfuncs bpf_iter_css_task_{new,next,destroy} which allow
creation and manipulation of struct bpf_iter_css_task in open-coded
iterator style. These kfuncs actually wrapps css_task_iter_{start,next,
end}. BPF programs can use these kfuncs through bpf_for_each macro for
iteration of all tasks under a css.

css_task_iter_*() would try to get the global spin-lock *css_set_lock*, so
the bpf side has to be careful in where it allows to use this iter.
Currently we only allow it in bpf_lsm and bpf iter-s.

<title>file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ede61d8589cc2d93aa78230d74ac58b5b8d0244</id>
<content type='text'>
In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file
handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based
freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall
but it might actually be worth doing.

The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should
really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this
exists.

With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times
which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just
acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been
recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference.

In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer
users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the
same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be
seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu().

In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file
without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always
very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a
reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable.
Failing to do either one of this is a bug.

Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering
between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent
loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and
providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

<title>bpf: Introduce task_vma open-coded iterator kfuncs</title>

This patch adds kfuncs bpf_iter_task_vma_{new,next,destroy} which allow
creation and manipulation of struct bpf_iter_task_vma in open-coded
iterator style. BPF programs can use these kfuncs directly or through
bpf_for_each macro for natural-looking iteration of all task vmas.

The implementation borrows heavily from bpf_find_vma helper's locking -
differing only in that it holds the mmap_read lock for all iterations
while the helper only executes its provided callback on a maximum of 1
vma. Aside from locking, struct vma_iterator and vma_next do all the
heavy lifting.

A pointer to an inner data struct, struct bpf_iter_task_vma_data, is the
only field in struct bpf_iter_task_vma. This is because the inner data
struct contains a struct vma_iterator (not ptr), whose size is likely to
change under us. If bpf_iter_task_vma_kern contained vma_iterator directly
such a change would require change in opaque bpf_iter_task_vma struct's
size. So better to allocate vma_iterator using BPF allocator, and since
that alloc must already succeed, might as well allocate all iter fields,
thereby freezing struct bpf_iter_task_vma size.

Kill saved_tid. It looks ugly to update *tid and then restore the
previous value if __task_pid_nr_ns() returns 0. Change this code
to update *tid and common-&gt;pid_visiting once before return.
