Two minor conflicts: 1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while moving another local variable and removing it's initial assignment. 2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes. One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from the port node rather than the switch node. Signed-off-by: David S.

It's a follow-up for discussion in [1]. drgn tool bpf_inspect.py was merged to drgn repo in [2]. Document it in kernel tree to make BPF developers aware that the tool exists and can help with getting BPF state unavailable via UAPI. For now it's just one tool but the doc is written in a way that allows to cover more tools in the future if needed. Please refer to the doc itself for more details. The patch was tested by `make htmldocs` and sanity-checking that resulting html looks good. v2 -> v3: - two sections: "Description" and "Getting started" (Daniel); - add examples in "Getting started" section (Daniel); - add "Customization" section to show how tool can be customized. v1 -> v2: - better "BPF drgn tools" section (Alexei) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200228201514.GB51456@rdna-mbp/T/#mefed65e8a98116bd5d07d09a570a3eac46724951 [2] https://github.com/osandov/drgn/pull/49 Signed-off-by: Andrey Ignatov <rdna@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200324185135.1431038-1-rdna@fb.com

2019-04-18bpf: Document BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTLAndrey Ignatov
Add documentation for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL, including general info, attach type, context, return code, helpers, example and usage considerations. A separate file prog_cgroup_sysctl.rst is added to Documentation/bpf/. In the future more program types can be documented in their own prog_<name>.rst files. Another way to place program type specific documentation would be to group program types somehow (e.g. cgroup.rst for all cgroup-bpf programs), but it may not scale well since some program types may belong to different groups, e.g. BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB can be documented together with either cgroup-bpf programs or programs that access skb. The new file is added to the index and verified by `make htmldocs` / sanity-check by lynx.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning, ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei. 2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and libbpf refactoring from Joe. 3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF. Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii. 4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey. 5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan. 6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into the test program, from Stanislav. 7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong. 8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca. 9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant. 10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP program, from Magnus. 11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-04-09bpf: add specification for BTF Var and DataSec kindsDaniel Borkmann
This adds the BTF specification and UAPI bits for supporting BTF Var and DataSec kinds. This is following LLVM upstream commit ac4082b77e07 ("[BPF] Add BTF Var and DataSec Support") which has been merged recently. Var itself is for describing a global variable and DataSec to describe ELF sections e.g. data/bss/rodata sections that hold one or multiple global variables.
