[ Upstream commit d93a7cf6ca2cfcd7de5d06f753ce8d5e863316ac ]

In the commit 7c4cd051add3 ("bpf: Fix syscall's stackmap lookup
potential deadlock"), a potential deadlock issue was addressed, which
resulted in *_map_lookup_elem not triggering BPF programs.
(prior to lookup, bpf_disable_instrumentation() is used)

To resolve the broken map lookup probe using "htab_map_lookup_elem",
this commit introduces an alternative approach. Instead, it utilize
"bpf_map_copy_value" and apply a filter specifically for the hash table
with map_type.

[ Upstream commit 92632115fb57ff9e368f256913e96d6fd5abf5ab ]

Recently, a new tracepoint for the block layer, specifically the
block_io_start/done tracepoints, was introduced in commit 5a80bd075f3b
("block: introduce block_io_start/block_io_done tracepoints").

Previously, the kprobe entry used for this purpose was quite unstable
and inherently broke relevant probes [1]. Now that a stable tracepoint
is available, this commit replaces the bio latency check with it.

One of the changes made during this replacement is the key used for the
hash table. Since 'struct request' cannot be used as a hash key, the
approach taken follows that which was implemented in bcc/biolatency [2].
(uses dev:sector for the key)

<title>samples: ftrace: Save required argument registers in sample trampolines</title>

commit 8564c315876ab86fcaf8e7f558d6a84cb2ce5590 upstream.

The ftrace-direct-too sample traces the handle_mm_fault function whose
signature changed since the introduction of the sample. Since:
commit bce617edecad ("mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault")
handle_mm_fault now has 4 arguments. Therefore, the sample trampoline
should save 4 argument registers.

s390 saves all argument registers already so it does not need a change
but x86_64 needs an extra push and pop.

This also evolves the signature of the tracing function to make it
mirror the signature of the traced function.

[ Upstream commit 60548b825b082cedf89b275c21c28b1e1d030e50 ]

Default samples/pktgen scripts send 60 byte packets as hardware adds
4-bytes FCS checksum, which fulfils minimum Ethernet 64 bytes frame
size.

XDP layer will not necessary have access to the 4-bytes FCS checksum.

This leads to bpf_xdp_load_bytes() failing as it tries to copy 64-bytes
from an XDP packet that only have 60-bytes available.

__fallthrough is now not supported. Instead of renaming it to
now-canonical ([0]) fallthrough pseudo-keyword, just get rid of it and
equate 'h' case to default case, as both emit usage information and

 "More additions to the Rust core. Importantly, this adds the pin-init

  synchronization ones added here too:

   - pin-init API: a solution for the safe pinned initialization
     problem.

     This allows to reduce the need for 'unsafe' code in the kernel when
     dealing with data structures that require a stable address. Commit
     90e53c5e70a6 ("rust: add pin-init API core") contains a nice
     introduction -- here is an example of how it looks like:

   - 'sync' module:

     New types 'LockClassKey' ('struct lock_class_key'), 'Lock',
     'Guard', 'Mutex' ('struct mutex'), 'SpinLock' ('spinlock_t'),
     'LockedBy' and 'CondVar' (uses 'wait_queue_head_t'), plus macros
     such as 'static_lock_class!' and 'new_spinlock!'.

     In particular, 'Lock' and 'Guard' are generic implementations that
     contain code that is common to all locks. Then, different backends
     (the new 'Backend' trait) are implemented and used to define types
     like 'Mutex':

        type Mutex&lt;T&gt; = Lock&lt;T, MutexBackend&gt;;

     In addition, new methods 'assume_init()', 'init_with()' and
     'pin_init_with()' for 'UniqueArc&lt;MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and 'downcast()'
     for 'Arc&lt;dyn Any + Send + Sync&gt;'; as well as 'Debug' and 'Display'
     implementations for 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc'. Reduced stack usage of
     'UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()', too.

   - 'types' module:

     New trait 'AlwaysRefCounted' and new type 'ARef' (an owned
     reference to an always-reference-counted object, meant to be used
     in wrappers for C types that have their own ref counting
     functions).

     Moreover, new associated functions 'raw_get()' and 'ffi_init()' for
     'Opaque'.

   - New 'task' module with a new type 'Task' ('struct task_struct'),
     and a new macro 'current!' to safely get a reference to the current
     one.

   - New 'ioctl' module with new '_IOC*' const functions (equivalent to
     the C macros).

   - New 'uapi' crate, intended to be accessible by drivers directly.

   - 'macros' crate: new 'quote!' macro (similar to the one provided in
     userspace by the 'quote' crate); and the 'module!' macro now allows
     specifying multiple module aliases.

   - 'error' module:

     New associated functions for the 'Error' type, such as
     'from_errno()' and new functions such as 'to_result()'.

   - 'alloc' crate:

     More fallible 'Vec' methods: 'try_resize` and
     'try_extend_from_slice' and the infrastructure (imported from the
     Rust standard library) they need"

 "More additions to the Rust core. Importantly, this adds the pin-init
  API, which will be used by other abstractions, such as the
  synchronization ones added here too:

   - pin-init API: a solution for the safe pinned initialization
     problem.

     This allows to reduce the need for 'unsafe' code in the kernel when
     dealing with data structures that require a stable address. Commit
     90e53c5e70a6 ("rust: add pin-init API core") contains a nice
     introduction -- here is an example of how it looks like:

        #[pin_data]
        struct Example {
            #[pin]
            value: Mutex&lt;u32&gt;,

            #[pin]
            value_changed: CondVar,
        }

        impl Example {
            fn new() -&gt; impl PinInit&lt;Self&gt; {
                pin_init!(Self {
                    value &lt;- new_mutex!(0),
                    value_changed &lt;- new_condvar!(),
                })
            }
        }

        // In a `Box`.
        let b = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;

        // In the stack.
        stack_pin_init!(let s = Example::new());

     New types 'LockClassKey' ('struct lock_class_key'), 'Lock',

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - User events are finally ready!

   After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally
   locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work
   with user space only tracing.

   This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but
   that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where
   the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
   listening to the trace.

   There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
   which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
   directory, where it can be enabled.

   When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
   application to start writing to the kernel.

   See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/

 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines.

   Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
   the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
   own trampoline for performance reasons.

 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
   than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
   kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
   will be exposed as dynamic events.

 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.

 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
   line by line instead of all at once.

   There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
   that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
   than what printk() allowed as a single print.

   Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.

 - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions
   that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used
   for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a
   crash by a bpf program or live patching.

 - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields
   of the events. It's easier to read by humans.

 - Some minor fixes and clean ups.
