commit ea8d7647f9ddf1f81e2027ed305299797299aa03 upstream.

The trace event verifier checks the formats of trace events to make sure
that they do not point at memory that is not in the trace event itself or
in data that will never be freed. If an event references data that was
allocated when the event triggered and that same data is freed before the
event is read, then the kernel can crash by reading freed memory.

The verifier runs at boot up (or module load) and scans the print formats
of the events and checks their arguments to make sure that dereferenced
pointers are safe. If the format uses "%*p.." the verifier will ignore it,
and that could be dangerous. Cover this case as well.

Also add to the sample code a use case of "%*pbl".

[ Upstream commit 94f53edc64e19640b5245721cd6d0c4a84f52587 ]

Commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external
module directory with M=") changed kbuild working directory of bpf
sample programs to samples/bpf, which broke the vmlinux path for
VMLINUX_BTF, as the Makefiles assume the current work directory to be
the kernel output directory and use a relative path (i.e., ./vmlinux):

  Makefile:316: *** Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /path/to/linux/samples/bpf/vmlinux", build the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF like "VMLINUX_BTF=/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux" or VMLINUX_H variable.  Stop.

Correctly refer to the kernel output directory using $(objtree).

<title>rust: finish using custom FFI integer types</title>

commit 27c7518e7f1ccaaa43eb5f25dc362779d2dc2ccb upstream.

In the last kernel cycle we migrated most of the `core::ffi` cases in
commit d072acda4862 ("rust: use custom FFI integer types"):

    Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit
    creates the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI
    integer types instead of `core::ffi`.

    This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this
    commit yet.

Finish now the few remaining/new cases so that we perform the actual
remapping in the next commit as planned.

    /path/to/kernel/tools/include/linux/err.h:35:8: error: 'inline' can only appear on functions
       35 | static inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error_)
          |        ^

The error is caused by `objtree` variable changing definition from `.`
(dot) to an absolute path:
- The variable TPROGS_CFLAGS is constructed as follows:
  ...
  TPROGS_CFLAGS += -I$(objtree)/usr/include
- It is passed as EXTRA_CFLAGS for libbpf compilation:
  $(LIBBPF): ...
    ...
	$(MAKE) -C $(LIBBPF_SRC) RM='rm -rf' EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(TPROGS_CFLAGS)"
- Before commit [0], the line passed to libbpf makefile was
  '-I./usr/include', where '.' referred to LIBBPF_SRC due to -C flag.
  The directory $(LIBBPF_SRC)/usr/include does not exist and thus
  was never resolved by C compiler.
- After commit [0], the line passed to libbpf makefile became:
  '&lt;output-dir&gt;/usr/include', this directory exists and is resolved by
  C compiler.
- Both 'tools/include' and 'usr/include' define files err.h and types.h.
- libbpf expects headers like 'linux/err.h' and 'linux/types.h'
  defined in 'tools/include', not 'usr/include', hence the compilation
  error.

This commit removes unnecessary -I flags from libbpf compilation.
(libbpf sets up the necessary includes at lib/bpf/Makefile:63).

Changes v1 [1] -&gt; v2:
- dropped unnecessary replacement of KBUILD_OUTPUT with $(objtree)
  (Andrii)
Changes v2 [2] -&gt; v3:
- make sure --sysroot option is set for libbpf's EXTRA_CFLAGS,
  if $(SYSROOT) is set (Stanislav)

<title>module: Convert symbol namespace to string literal</title>

<content type='text'>
Clean up the existing export namespace code along the same lines of
commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the
namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.
