commit 5984dc6cb5aa6cce342a44f01f984fde09ed05b1 upstream.

Add xdp_redirect and per_socket_stats_example in build targets.
They got removed from build targets in Makefile reorganization.

commit f9e6bfdbaf0cf304d72c70a05d81acac01a04f48 upstream.

When sample xdp_redirect_cpu was converted to use libbpf, the
tracepoints used by this sample were not getting attached automatically
like with bpf_load.c. The BPF-maps was still getting loaded, thus
nobody notice that the tracepoints were not updating these maps.

This fix doesn't use the new skeleton code, as this bug was introduced
in v5.1 and stable might want to backport this. E.g. Red Hat QA uses
this sample as part of their testing.

<title>samples/bpf: Don't try to remove user's homedir on clean</title>

commit b2e5e93ae8af6a34bca536cdc4b453ab1e707b8b upstream.

The 'clean' rule in the samples/bpf Makefile tries to remove backup
files (ending in ~). However, if no such files exist, it will instead try
to remove the user's home directory. While the attempt is mostly harmless,
it does lead to a somewhat scary warning like this:

rm: cannot remove '~': Is a directory

Fix this by using find instead of shell expansion to locate any actual
backup files that need to be removed.

<title>samples/seccomp: Zero out members based on seccomp_notif_sizes</title>

<content type='text'>
The sizes by which seccomp_notif and seccomp_notif_resp are allocated are
based on the SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES ioctl. This allows for graceful
extension of these datastructures. If userspace zeroes out the
datastructure based on its version, and it is lagging behind the kernel's
version, it will end up sending trailing garbage. On the other hand,
if it is ahead of the kernel version, it will write extra zero space,
and potentially cause corruption.

trace_printk schedules work via irq_work_queue(), but doesn't
wait until it was processed. The kprobe_module.tc testcase does:

:;: "Load module again, which means the event1 should be recorded";:
modprobe trace-printk
grep "event1:" trace

so the grep which checks the trace file might run before the irq work
was processed. Fix this by adding a irq_work_sync().

Currently, open() is called from the user program and it calls the syscall
'sys_openat', not the 'sys_open'. This leads to an error of the program
of user side, due to the fact that the counter maps are zero since no
function such 'sys_open' is called.

This commit adds the kernel bpf program which are attached to the
tracepoint 'sys_enter_openat' and 'sys_enter_openat'.

Previously, when this sample is added, commit 1c47910ef8013
("samples/bpf: add perf_event+bpf example"), a symbol 'sys_read' and
'sys_write' has been used without no prefixes. But currently there are
no exact symbols with these under kallsyms and this leads to failure.

This commit changes exact compare to substring compare to keep compatible
with exact symbol or prefixed symbol.

<title>samples/bpf: Fix broken xdp_rxq_info due to map order assumptions</title>

In the days of using bpf_load.c the order in which the 'maps' sections
were defines in BPF side (*_kern.c) file, were used by userspace side
to identify the map via using the map order as an index. In effect the
order-index is created based on the order the maps sections are stored
in the ELF-object file, by the LLVM compiler.

This have also carried over in libbpf via API bpf_map__next(NULL, obj)
to extract maps in the order libbpf parsed the ELF-object file.

When BTF based maps were introduced a new section type ".maps" were
created. I found that the LLVM compiler doesn't create the ".maps"
sections in the order they are defined in the C-file. The order in the
ELF file is based on the order the map pointer is referenced in the code.

This combination of changes lead to xdp_rxq_info mixing up the map
file-descriptors in userspace, resulting in very broken behaviour, but
without warning the user.

This patch fix issue by instead using bpf_object__find_map_by_name()
to find maps via their names. (Note, this is the ELF name, which can
be longer than the name the kernel retains).

Fixes: be5bca44aa6b ("samples: bpf: convert some XDP samples from bpf_load to libbpf")
Fixes: 451d1dc886b5 ("samples: bpf: update map definition to new syntax BTF-defined map")

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
     function.

     As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
     all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
     live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
     ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
     will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
     ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
     with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.

   - New register_ftrace_direct().

     As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
     the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
     trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
     trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
     patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
     keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
     allow for security auditing.

   - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.

     Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
     tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
     buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
     users from writing over their data.

   - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
     seq_buf usage.

   - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
     to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
     tracers.

   - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
     and friends.

   - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)

   - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
     system call trace events.

  This along with small clean ups and fixes"
