With [1], crash dump specific code is moved out of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
and placed under CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP, where it is more appropriate.
And since CONFIG_KEXEC &amp; !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP build option is supported
with that, it led to the below warning:

  "WARN: resolve_btfids: unresolved symbol crash_kexec"

Fix it by using the appropriate #ifdef.

<title>bpf: Fix racing between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free and bpf_timer_cancel</title>

<content type='text'>
The following race is possible between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
and bpf_timer_cancel. It will lead a UAF on the timer-&gt;timer.

bpf_timer_cancel();
	spin_lock();
	t = timer-&gt;time;
	spin_unlock();

					bpf_timer_cancel_and_free();
						spin_lock();
						t = timer-&gt;timer;
						timer-&gt;timer = NULL;
						spin_unlock();
						hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);
						kfree(t);

	/* UAF on t */
	hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);

In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free, this patch frees the timer-&gt;timer
after a rcu grace period. This requires a rcu_head addition
to the "struct bpf_hrtimer". Another kfree(t) happens in bpf_timer_init,
this does not need a kfree_rcu because it is still under the
spin_lock and timer-&gt;timer has not been visible by others yet.

In bpf_timer_cancel, rcu_read_lock() is added because this helper
can be used in a non rcu critical section context (e.g. from
a sleepable bpf prog). Other timer-&gt;timer usages in helpers.c
have been audited, bpf_timer_cancel() is the only place where
timer-&gt;timer is used outside of the spin_lock.

Another solution considered is to mark a t-&gt;flag in bpf_timer_cancel
and clear it after hrtimer_cancel() is done.  In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free,
it busy waits for the flag to be cleared before kfree(t). This patch
goes with a straight forward solution and frees timer-&gt;timer after
a rcu grace period.

<title>bpf: Mark bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}() helpers with notrace correctly</title>

Currently tracing is supposed not to allow for bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}()
helper calls. This is to prevent deadlock for the following cases:
  - there is a prog (prog-A) calling bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().
  - there is a tracing program (prog-B), e.g., fentry, attached
    to bpf_spin_lock() and/or bpf_spin_unlock().
  - prog-B calls bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().
For such a case, when prog-A calls bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}(),
a deadlock will happen.

The related source codes are below in kernel/bpf/helpers.c:
  notrace BPF_CALL_1(bpf_spin_lock, struct bpf_spin_lock *, lock)
  notrace BPF_CALL_1(bpf_spin_unlock, struct bpf_spin_lock *, lock)
notrace is supposed to prevent fentry prog from attaching to
bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().

But actually this is not the case and fentry prog can successfully
attached to bpf_spin_lock(). Siddharth Chintamaneni reported
the issue in [1]. The following is the macro definition for
above BPF_CALL_1:
  #define BPF_CALL_x(x, name, ...)                                               \
        static __always_inline                                                 \
        u64 ____##name(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__));   \
        typedef u64 (*btf_##name)(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__)); \
        u64 name(__BPF_REG(x, __BPF_DECL_REGS, __BPF_N, __VA_ARGS__));         \
        u64 name(__BPF_REG(x, __BPF_DECL_REGS, __BPF_N, __VA_ARGS__))          \
        {                                                                      \
                return ((btf_##name)____##name)(__BPF_MAP(x,__BPF_CAST,__BPF_N,__VA_ARGS__));\
        }                                                                      \
        static __always_inline                                                 \
        u64 ____##name(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__))

  #define BPF_CALL_1(name, ...)   BPF_CALL_x(1, name, __VA_ARGS__)

The notrace attribute is actually applied to the static always_inline function
____bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}(). The actual callback function
bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}() is not marked with notrace, hence
allowing fentry prog to attach to two helpers, and this
may cause the above mentioned deadlock. Siddharth Chintamaneni
actually has a reproducer in [2].

To fix the issue, a new macro NOTRACE_BPF_CALL_1 is introduced which
will add notrace attribute to the original function instead of
the hidden always_inline function and this fixed the problem.

The notrace attribute is actually applied to the static always_inline function
____bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}(). The actual callback function
bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}() is not marked with notrace, hence
allowing fentry prog to attach to two helpers, and this
may cause the above mentioned deadlock. Siddharth Chintamaneni
actually has a reproducer in [2].

To fix the issue, a new macro NOTRACE_BPF_CALL_1 is introduced which
will add notrace attribute to the original function instead of
the hidden always_inline function and this fixed the problem.

<title>bpf: Have bpf_rdonly_cast() take a const pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 20d59ee55172 ("libbpf: add bpf_core_cast() macro"), libbpf is now
exporting a const arg version of bpf_rdonly_cast(). This causes the
following conflicting type error when generating kfunc prototypes from
BTF:

In file included from skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:5:
/home/dxu/dev/linux/tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:297:14: error: conflicting types for 'bpf_rdonly_cast'
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(const void *obj__ign, __u32 btf_id__k) __ksym __weak;
             ^
./vmlinux.h:135625:14: note: previous declaration is here
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(void *obj__ign, u32 btf_id__k) __weak __ksym;

This is b/c the kernel defines bpf_rdonly_cast() with non-const arg.
Since const arg is more permissive and thus backwards compatible, we
change the kernel definition as well to avoid conflicting type errors.

This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:

1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
   each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
   generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag

To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

Instead of performing unconditional system-wide bpf_capable() and
perfmon_capable() calls inside bpf_base_func_proto() function (and other
similar ones) to determine eligibility of a given BPF helper for a given
program, use previously recorded BPF token during BPF_PROG_LOAD command
handling to inform the decision.

<title>bpf: Support inlining bpf_kptr_xchg() helper</title>

<id>7c05e7f3e74e7e550534d524e04d7e6f78d6fa24</id>
<content type='text'>
The motivation of inlining bpf_kptr_xchg() comes from the performance
profiling of bpf memory allocator benchmark. The benchmark uses
bpf_kptr_xchg() to stash the allocated objects and to pop the stashed
objects for free. After inling bpf_kptr_xchg(), the performance for
object free on 8-CPUs VM increases about 2%~10%. The inline also has
downside: both the kasan and kcsan checks on the pointer will be
unavailable.

bpf_kptr_xchg() can be inlined by converting the calling of
bpf_kptr_xchg() into an atomic_xchg() instruction. But the conversion
depends on two conditions:
1) JIT backend supports atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized word
2) For the specific arch, the implementation of xchg is the same as
   atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized words.

It seems most 64-bit JIT backends satisfies these two conditions. But
as a precaution, defining a weak function bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg()
to state whether such conversion is safe and only supporting inline for
64-bit host.

For x86-64, it supports BPF_XCHG atomic operation and both xchg() and
atomic_xchg() use arch_xchg() to implement the exchange, so enabling the
inline of bpf_kptr_xchg() on x86-64 first.
