snprintf() does not return negative error code on error, it returns the
number of characters which *would* be generated for the given input.

Fix the error handling check.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.

<id>b1d1e90490b671444ebf66292201572c1059d323</id>

Since the btf returned from bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() only covers functions in
the vmlinux, BTF argument is not available on the functions in the modules.
Use bpf_find_btf_id() instead of bpf_get_btf_vmlinux()+btf_find_name_kind()
so that BTF argument can find the correct struct btf and btf_type in it.
With this fix, fprobe events can use `$arg*` on module functions as below

 # grep nf_log_ip_packet /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffa0005c00 t nf_log_ip_packet	[nf_log_syslog]
ffffffffa0005bf0 t __pfx_nf_log_ip_packet	[nf_log_syslog]
 # echo 'f nf_log_ip_packet $arg*' &gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/nf_log_ip_packet__entry nf_log_ip_packet net=net pf=pf hooknum=hooknum skb=skb in=in out=out loginfo=loginfo prefix=prefix

To support the module's btf which is removable, the struct btf needs to be
ref-counted. So this also records the btf in the traceprobe_parse_context
and returns the refcount when the parse has done.

<title>net: invert the netdevice.h vs xdp.h dependency</title>

<content type='text'>
xdp.h is far more specific and is included in only 67 other
files vs netdevice.h's 1538 include sites.
Make xdp.h include netdevice.h, instead of the other way around.
This decreases the incremental allmodconfig builds size when
xdp.h is touched from 5947 to 662 objects.

Move bpf_prog_run_xdp() to xdp.h, seems appropriate and filter.h
is a mega-header in its own right so it's nice to avoid xdp.h
getting included there as well.

The only unfortunate part is that the typedef for xdp_features_t
has to move to netdevice.h, since its embedded in struct netdevice.

We are utilizing BPF LSM to monitor BPF operations within our container
environment. When we add support for raw_tracepoint, it hits below
error.

; (const void *)attr-&gt;raw_tracepoint.name);
27: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
access beyond the end of member map_type (mend:4) in struct (anon) with off 0 size 8

It can be reproduced with below BPF prog.

SEC("lsm/bpf")
int BPF_PROG(bpf_audit, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size)
{
	switch (cmd) {
	case BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN:
		bpf_printk("raw_tracepoint is %s", attr-&gt;raw_tracepoint.name);
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
	return 0;
}

The reason is that when accessing a field in a union, such as bpf_attr,
if the field is located within a nested struct that is not the first
member of the union, it can result in incorrect field verification.

  union bpf_attr {
      struct {
          __u32 map_type; &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Actually it will find that field.
          __u32 key_size;
          __u32 value_size;
         ...
      };
      ...
      struct {
          __u64 name;    &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; We want to verify this field.
          __u32 prog_fd;
      } raw_tracepoint;
  };

Considering the potential deep nesting levels, finding a perfect
solution to address this issue has proven challenging. Therefore, I
propose a solution where we simply skip the verification process if the
field in question is located within a union.

<content type='text'>
Per discussion with Alexei, the PTR_UNTRUSTED flag should not been
cleared when we start to walk a new struct, because the struct in
question may be a struct nested in a union. We should also check and set
this flag before we walk its each member, in case itself is a union.
We will clear this flag if the field is BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU_OR_NULL.

Fixes: 6fcd486b3a0a ("bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.")

<title>bpf, btf: Warn but return no error for NULL btf from __register_btf_kfunc_id_set()</title>

__register_btf_kfunc_id_set() assumes .BTF to be part of the module's .ko
file if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled. If that's not the case, the
function prints an error message and return an error. As a result, such
modules cannot be loaded.

However, the section could be stripped out during a build process. It would
be better to let the modules loaded, because their basic functionalities
have no problem [0], though the BTF functionalities will not be supported.
Make the function to lower the level of the message from error to warn, and
return no error.

pull-request: bpf-next 2023-06-23

a total of 70 files changed, 1935 insertions(+), 442 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Extend bpf_fib_lookup helper to allow passing the route table ID,
   from Louis DeLosSantos.

2) Fix regsafe() in verifier to call check_ids() for scalar registers,
   from Eduard Zingerman.

3) Extend the set of cpumask kfuncs with bpf_cpumask_first_and()
   and a rework of bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs. Additionally,
   add selftests, from David Vernet.

4) Fix socket lookup BPF helpers for tc/XDP to respect VRF bindings,
   from Gilad Sever.

5) Change bpf_link_put() to use workqueue unconditionally to fix it
   under PREEMPT_RT, from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

6) Follow-ups to address issues in the bpf_refcount shared ownership
   implementation, from Dave Marchevsky.

7) A few general refactorings to BPF map and program creation permissions
   checks which were part of the BPF token series, from Andrii Nakryiko.

8) Various fixes for benchmark framework and add a new benchmark
   for BPF memory allocator to BPF selftests, from Hou Tao.

9) Documentation improvements around iterators and trusted pointers,
   from Anton Protopopov.

10) Small cleanup in verifier to improve allocated object check,
    from Daniel T. Lee.

11) Improve performance of bpf_xdp_pointer() by avoiding access
    to shared_info when XDP packet does not have frags,
    from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

12) Silence a harmless syzbot-reported warning in btf_type_id_size(),
    from Yonghong Song.

13) Remove duplicate bpfilter_umh_cleanup in favor of umd_cleanup_helper,
    from Jarkko Sakkinen.

14) Fix BPF selftests build for resolve_btfids under custom HOSTCFLAGS,
    from Viktor Malik.
