commit 7d54c15cb89a29a5f59e5ffc9ee62e6591769ef1 upstream.

We see the following GPF when register_ftrace_direct fails:

One way to trigger this is:
  1. load a livepatch that patches kernel function xxx;
  2. run bpftrace -e 'kfunc:xxx {}', this will fail (expected for now);
  3. repeat #2 =&gt; gpf.

This is because the entry is added to direct_functions, but not removed.
Fix this by remove the entry from direct_functions when
register_ftrace_direct fails.

Also remove the last trailing space from ftrace.c, so we don't have to
worry about it anymore.

<title>sched/tracing: Append prev_state to tp args instead</title>

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p-&gt;state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
 "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
  which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
  Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
  target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.

  Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
  is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
  not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
  sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].

  CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
  as described above, speculation limits itself"

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.

     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.

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.

  ----------

     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

     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

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
   kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
   byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
   can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
   the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
   writing the event to the tracing buffer.

 - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
   set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
   up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
   the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
   up has tracing as well.

 - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
   descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
   the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
   array.

 - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
   TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
   will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
   be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.

 - Fixes to tracing error logging.

 - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
   for mapping).

<title>ftrace: Add ftrace_set_filter_ips function</title>

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.

<title>x86/ibt,ftrace: Search for __fentry__ location</title>

Currently a lot of ftrace code assumes __fentry__ is at sym+0. However
with Intel IBT enabled the first instruction of a function will most
likely be ENDBR.

Change ftrace_location() to not only return the __fentry__ location
when called for the __fentry__ location, but also when called for the
sym+0 location.

Then audit/update all callsites of this function to consistently use
these new semantics.

<title>tracing: Add snapshot at end of kernel boot up</title>

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
