Adding struct bpf_tramp_node to decouple the link out of the trampoline
attachment info.

At the moment the object for attaching bpf program to the trampoline is
'struct bpf_tramp_link':

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  }

The link holds the bpf_prog pointer and forces one link - one program
binding logic. In following changes we want to attach program to multiple
trampolines but we want to keep just one bpf_link object.

Splitting struct bpf_tramp_link into:

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct bpf_tramp_node node;
  };

  struct bpf_tramp_node {
       struct bpf_link *link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  };

The 'struct bpf_tramp_link' defines standard single trampoline link
and 'struct bpf_tramp_node' is the attachment trampoline object with
pointer to the bpf_link object.

This will allow us to define link for multiple trampolines, like:

  struct bpf_tracing_multi_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       ...
       int nodes_cnt;
       struct bpf_tracing_multi_node nodes[] __counted_by(nodes_cnt);
  };

Inline these calls in bpf jit:
 - bpf_get_smp_processor_id()
 - bpf_get_current_task()
 - bpf_get_current_task_btf()

s390 has a 8 KiB per-CPU prefix area in the CPU's
virtual address space, called the lowcore. It is a
struct that contains the cpu number and a pointer
to the current task. These are exactly the values
returned by the BPF helpers.

Emit a load from the lowcore instead of a helper
function call.

<title>bpf: Pass bpf_verifier_env to JIT</title>

Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will
use env-&gt;insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets.

Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c
code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime()
to accept the env parameter.

Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and
switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env
variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for
cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL.

Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except
the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted
by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need
to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

<title>bpf: Move constants blinding out of arch-specific JITs</title>

<id>d3e945223e0158c85dbde23de4f89493a2a817f6</id>
<content type='text'>
During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only
rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the
global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a
mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it
difficult to use the global data in the JIT.

To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already
support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and
switch to rewrite the global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi with the global states
adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do.

This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely
duplicated code across architectures.

Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two
JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple
subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs,
move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions.

In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global
verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key
question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored
on the failure path.

Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts:
  - prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab
  - env-&gt;insn_array_maps
  - env-&gt;subprog_info
  - env-&gt;insn_aux_data

For prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after
JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path.

For env-&gt;insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays
are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses.
Hence, env-&gt;insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need
to be restored.

For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case,
env-&gt;subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it
must be restored on failure.

For env-&gt;insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the
end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over
env-&gt;insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop
uses env-&gt;prog-&gt;len as the array length, but this length no longer
matches the actual size of the adjusted env-&gt;insn_aux_data array after
constants blinding.

To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted
after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size
for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data()
uses the same index to loop over both env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data,
this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an
alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env-&gt;insn_aux_data
before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env-&gt;prog.

For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it
is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().

Implement BPF_TRACE_FSESSION support for s390. The logic here is similar
to what we did in x86_64.

In order to simply the logic, we factor out the function invoke_bpf() for
fentry and fexit.

a help of a register.

<title>s390/bpf: Do not increment tailcall count when prog is NULL</title>

Currently tail calling a non-existent prog results in tailcall count
increment. This is what the interpreter is doing, but this is clearly
wrong, so replace load-and-increment and compare-and-jump with load
and compare-and-jump, conditionally followed by increment and store.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
