ftrace_graph_is_dead() is used on hot paths, it just reads a variable
in memory and is not worth suffering function call constraints.

For instance, at entry of prepare_ftrace_return(), inlining it avoids
saving prepare_ftrace_return() parameters to stack and restoring them
after calling ftrace_graph_is_dead().

While at it using a static branch is even more performant and is
rather well adapted considering that the returned value will almost
never change.

Inline ftrace_graph_is_dead() and replace 'kill_ftrace_graph' bool
by a static branch.

The performance improvement is noticeable.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Adding ftrace_set_filter_ips function to be able to set filter on
multiple ip addresses at once.

With the kprobe multi attach interface we have cases where we need to
initialize ftrace_ops object with thousands of functions, so having
single function diving into ftrace_hash_move_and_update_ops with
ftrace_lock is faster.

The functions ips are passed as unsigned long array with count.

Add ftrace_boot_snapshot kernel parameter that will take a snapshot at the
end of boot up just before switching over to user space (it happens during
the kernel freeing of init memory).

This is useful when there's interesting data that can be collected from
kernel start up, but gets overridden by user space start up code. With
this option, the ring buffer content from the boot up traces gets saved in
the snapshot at the end of boot up. This trace can be read from:

 /sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot

Adding interface to register multiple direct functions
within single call. Adding following functions:

  register_ftrace_direct_multi(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned long addr)
  unregister_ftrace_direct_multi(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned long addr)

The register_ftrace_direct_multi registers direct function (addr)
with all functions in ops filter. The ops filter can be updated
before with ftrace_set_filter_ip calls.

All requested functions must not have direct function currently
registered, otherwise register_ftrace_direct_multi will fail.

The unregister_ftrace_direct_multi unregisters ops related direct
functions.

We don't need special hook for graph tracer entry point,
but instead we can use graph_ops::func function to install
the return_hooker.

This moves the graph tracing setup _before_ the direct
trampoline prepares the stack, so the return_hooker will
be called when the direct trampoline is finished.

This simplifies the code, because we don't need to take into
account the direct trampoline setup when preparing the graph
tracer hooker and we can allow function graph tracer on entries
registered with direct trampoline.

In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to
support Control Flow Integrity builds, all function casts need to be
removed.

This means that ftrace_ops_list_func() can no longer be defined as
ftrace_ops_no_ops(). The reason for ftrace_ops_no_ops() is to use that when
an architecture calls ftrace_ops_list_func() with only two parameters
(called from assembly). And to make sure there's no C side-effects, those
archs call ftrace_ops_no_ops() which only has two parameters, as
ftrace_ops_list_func() has four parameters.

Instead of a typecast, use vmlinux.lds.h to define ftrace_ops_list_func() to
arch_ftrace_ops_list_func() that will define the proper set of parameters.

Implementing live patching on s390 requires each function's prologue to
contain a very special kind of nop, which gcc and clang don't generate.
However, the current code assumes that if CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is
defined, then whatever the compiler generates is good enough.

Move the CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT check into the new ftrace_need_init_nop()
macro, that the architectures can override.

An alternative solution is to disable using -mnop-mcount in the
Makefile, however, this makes the build logic (even) more complicated
and forces the arch-specific code to deal with the useless __fentry__
symbol.
