Currently, ctx_arg_info is read-only in the view of the verifier since
it is shared among programs of the same attach type. Make each program
have their own copy of ctx_arg_info so that we can use it to store
program specific information.

In the next patch where we support acquiring a referenced kptr through a
struct_ops argument tagged with "__ref", ctx_arg_info-&gt;ref_obj_id will
be used to store the unique reference object id of the argument. This
avoids creating a requirement in the verifier that "__ref" tagged
arguments must be the first set of references acquired [0].

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

<title>bpf: move sleepable flag from bpf_prog_aux to bpf_prog</title>

prog-&gt;aux-&gt;sleepable is checked very frequently as part of (some) BPF
program run hot paths. So this extra aux indirection seems wasteful and
on busy systems might cause unnecessary memory cache misses.

Let's move sleepable flag into prog itself to eliminate unnecessary
pointer dereference.

<title>bpf: Add __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs macros</title>

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.

<title>bpf: Don't explicitly emit BTF for struct btf_iter_num</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 6018e1f407cc ("bpf: implement numbers iterator") added the
BTF_TYPE_EMIT line that this patch is modifying. The struct btf_iter_num
doesn't exist, so only a forward declaration is emitted in BTF:

  FWD 'btf_iter_num' fwd_kind=struct

That commit was probably hoping to ensure that struct bpf_iter_num is
emitted in vmlinux BTF. A previous version of this patch changed the
line to emit the correct type, but Yonghong confirmed that it would
definitely be emitted regardless in [0], so this patch simply removes
the line.

This isn't marked "Fixes" because the extraneous btf_iter_num FWD wasn't
causing any issues that I noticed, aside from mild confusion when I
looked through the code.

<content type='text'>
Implement the first open-coded iterator type over a range of integers.

It's public API consists of:
  - bpf_iter_num_new() constructor, which accepts [start, end) range
    (that is, start is inclusive, end is exclusive).
  - bpf_iter_num_next() which will keep returning read-only pointer to int
    until the range is exhausted, at which point NULL will be returned.
    If bpf_iter_num_next() is kept calling after this, NULL will be
    persistently returned.
  - bpf_iter_num_destroy() destructor, which needs to be called at some
    point to clean up iterator state. BPF verifier enforces that iterator
    destructor is called at some point before BPF program exits.

Note that `start = end = X` is a valid combination to setup an empty
iterator. bpf_iter_num_new() will return 0 (success) for any such
combination.

If bpf_iter_num_new() detects invalid combination of input arguments, it
returns error, resets iterator state to, effectively, empty iterator, so
any subsequent call to bpf_iter_num_next() will keep returning NULL.

BPF verifier has no knowledge that returned integers are in the
[start, end) value range, as both `start` and `end` are not statically
known and enforced: they are runtime values.

While the implementation is pretty trivial, some care needs to be taken
to avoid overflows and underflows. Subsequent selftests will validate
correctness of [start, end) semantics, especially around extremes
(INT_MIN and INT_MAX).

Similarly to bpf_loop(), we enforce that no more than BPF_MAX_LOOPS can
be specified.

bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() is a logical evolution from bounded
BPF loops and bpf_loop() helper and is the basis for implementing
ergonomic BPF loops with no statically known or verified bounds.
Subsequent patches implement bpf_for() macro, demonstrating how this can
be wrapped into something that works and feels like a normal for() loop
in C language.

The bpf-iter-prog for tcp and unix sk can do bpf_setsockopt()
which needs has_current_bpf_ctx() to decide if it is called by a
bpf prog.  This patch initializes the bpf_run_ctx in
bpf_iter_run_prog() for the has_current_bpf_ctx() to use.

<title>bpf: Only allow sleepable program for resched-able iterator</title>

When a sleepable program is attached to a hash map iterator, might_fault()
will report "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context..." if
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is enabled. The reason is that rcu_read_lock()
is held in bpf_hash_map_seq_next() and won't be released until all elements
are traversed or bpf_hash_map_seq_stop() is called.

Fixing it by reusing BPF_ITER_RESCHED to indicate that only non-sleepable
program is allowed for iterator without BPF_ITER_RESCHED. We can revise
bpf_iter_link_attach() later if there are other conditions which may
cause rcu_read_lock() or spin_lock() issues.

<title>bpf, iter: Fix the condition on p when calling stop.</title>

In bpf_seq_read, seq-&gt;op-&gt;next() could return an ERR and jump to
the label stop. However, the existing code in stop does not handle
the case when p (returned from next()) is an ERR. Adds the handling
of ERR of p by converting p into an error and jumping to done.

Because all the current implementations do not have a case that
returns ERR from next(), so this patch doesn't have behavior changes
right now.
