BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINTs can be executed nested on the same CPU, as
they do not increment bpf_prog_active while executing.

This enables three levels of nesting, to support
  - a kprobe or raw tp or perf event,
  - another one of the above that irq context happens to call, and
  - another one in nmi context
(at most one of which may be a kprobe or perf event).

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support AES128-CCM ciphers in kTLS, from Vakul Garg.

   2) Add fib_sync_mem to control the amount of dirty memory we allow to
      queue up between synchronize RCU calls, from David Ahern.

   4) Add PHY downshift support to aquantia driver, from Heiner
      Kallweit.

      Westphal.

  11) Improve eBPF verifier speed and increase maximum program size,
      from Alexei Starovoitov.

      Ciocoi.

  21) Implement ndo_get_devlink_port in netdevsim driver, from Jiri
      Pirko.

  22) Increase the strict parsing of current and future netlink
      attributes, also export such policies to userspace. From Johannes
      Berg.

  23) Allow DSA tag drivers to be modular, from Andrew Lunn.

  24) Remove legacy DSA probing support, also from Andrew Lunn.

<title>bpf: Fail bpf_probe_write_user() while mm is switched</title>

When using a temporary mm, bpf_probe_write_user() should not be able to
write to user memory, since user memory addresses may be used to map
kernel memory.  Detect these cases and fail bpf_probe_write_user() in
such cases.

This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe
buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program.
The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked
before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this
feature.

The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints
that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE
programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it
points may only be written by the latter.

commit f1a2e44a3aec ("bpf: add queue and stack maps") introduced new BPF
helper functions:
- BPF_FUNC_map_push_elem
- BPF_FUNC_map_pop_elem
- BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem

but they were made available only for network BPF programs. This patch
makes them available for tracepoint, cgroup and lirc programs.

For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
-ENOSPC.

Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
