commit ead7f9b8de65632ef8060b84b0c55049a33cfea1 upstream.

In Cilium, we use bpf_csum_diff + bpf_l4_csum_replace to, among other
things, update the L4 checksum after reverse SNATing IPv6 packets. That
use case is however not currently supported and leads to invalid
skb-&gt;csum values in some cases. This patch adds support for IPv6 address
changes in bpf_l4_csum_update via a new flag.

When calling bpf_l4_csum_replace in Cilium, it ends up calling
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff:

    1:  void inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(__sum16 *sum, struct sk_buff *skb,
    2:                                       __wsum diff, bool pseudohdr)
    3:  {
    4:      if (skb-&gt;ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) {
    5:          csum_replace_by_diff(sum, diff);
    6:          if (skb-&gt;ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE &amp;&amp; pseudohdr)
    7:              skb-&gt;csum = ~csum_sub(diff, skb-&gt;csum);
    8:      } else if (pseudohdr) {
    9:          *sum = ~csum_fold(csum_add(diff, csum_unfold(*sum)));
    10:     }
    11: }

The bug happens when we're in the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE state. We've just
updated one of the IPv6 addresses. The helper now updates the L4 header
checksum on line 5. Next, it updates skb-&gt;csum on line 7. It shouldn't.

For an IPv6 packet, the updates of the IPv6 address and of the L4
checksum will cancel each other. The checksums are set such that
computing a checksum over the packet including its checksum will result
in a sum of 0. So the same is true here when we update the L4 checksum
on line 5. We'll update it as to cancel the previous IPv6 address
update. Hence skb-&gt;csum should remain untouched in this case.

The same bug doesn't affect IPv4 packets because, in that case, three
fields are updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4
checksum. The change to the IPv4 address and one of the checksums still
cancel each other in skb-&gt;csum, but we're left with one checksum update
and should therefore update skb-&gt;csum accordingly. That's exactly what
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff does.

This special case for IPv6 L4 checksums is also described atop
inet_proto_csum_replace16, the function we should be using in this case.

This patch introduces a new bpf_l4_csum_replace flag, BPF_F_IPV6,
to indicate that we're updating the L4 checksum of an IPv6 packet. When
the flag is set, inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff will skip the
skb-&gt;csum update.

<title>bpf: Allow pre-ordering for bpf cgroup progs</title>

[ Upstream commit 4b82b181a26cff8bf7adc3a85a88d121d92edeaf ]

Currently for bpf progs in a cgroup hierarchy, the effective prog array
is computed from bottom cgroup to upper cgroups (post-ordering). For
example, the following cgroup hierarchy
    root cgroup: p1, p2
        subcgroup: p3, p4
have BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI for both cgroup levels.
The effective cgroup array ordering looks like
    p3 p4 p1 p2
and at run time, progs will execute based on that order.

But in some cases, it is desirable to have root prog executes earlier than
children progs (pre-ordering). For example,
  - prog p1 intends to collect original pkt dest addresses.
  - prog p3 will modify original pkt dest addresses to a proxy address for
    security reason.
The end result is that prog p1 gets proxy address which is not what it
wants. Putting p1 to every child cgroup is not desirable either as it
will duplicate itself in many child cgroups. And this is exactly a use case
we are encountering in Meta.

To fix this issue, let us introduce a flag BPF_F_PREORDER. If the flag
is specified at attachment time, the prog has higher priority and the
ordering with that flag will be from top to bottom (pre-ordering).
For example, in the above example,
    root cgroup: p1, p2
        subcgroup: p3, p4
Let us say p2 and p4 are marked with BPF_F_PREORDER. The final
effective array ordering will be
    p2 p4 p3 p1

commit 8043832e2a12 ("memblock: use numa_valid_node() helper to check

not defined in memblock tests.

Let's add it in the corresponding header file.

[ Upstream commit 724c6ce38bbaeb4b3f109b0e066d6c0ecd15446c ]

For the most part of the C++ history, it couldn't have type
declarations inside anonymous unions for different reasons. At the
same time, __struct_group() relies on the latters, so when the @TAG
argument is not empty, C++ code doesn't want to build (even under
`extern "C"`):

../linux/include/uapi/linux/pkt_cls.h:25:24: error:
'struct tc_u32_sel::&lt;unnamed union&gt;::tc_u32_sel_hdr,' invalid;
an anonymous union may only have public non-static data members
[-fpermissive]

The safest way to fix this without trying to switch standards (which
is impossible in UAPI anyway) etc., is to disable tag declaration
for that language. This won't break anything since for now it's not
buildable at all.
Use a separate definition for __struct_group() when __cplusplus is
defined to mitigate the error, including the version from tools/.

[ Upstream commit 3acf8ace68230e9558cf916847f1cc9f208abdf1 ]

Add missed value to kprobe attached through perf link info to
hold the stats of missed kprobe handler execution.

The kprobe's missed counter gets incremented when kprobe handler
is not executed due to another kprobe running on the same cpu.

[ Upstream commit 1daea158d0aae0770371f3079305a29fdb66829e ]

As mentioned in the comment, the workaround for
__attribute__((no_stack_protector)) is only necessary on GCC.
Avoid applying the workaround on clang, as clang does not recognize
__attribute__((__optimize__)) and would fail.

<title>tools: move alignment-related macros to new &lt;linux/align.h&gt;</title>

commit 10a04ff09bcc39e0044190ffe9f00f998f13647c upstream.

Currently, tools have *ALIGN*() macros scattered across the unrelated
headers, as there are only 3 of them and they were added separately
each time on an as-needed basis.
Anyway, let's make it more consistent with the kernel headers and allow
using those macros outside of the mentioned headers. Create
&lt;linux/align.h&gt; inside the tools/ folder and include it where needed.

<title>bitmap: introduce generic optimized bitmap_size()</title>

commit a37fbe666c016fd89e4460d0ebfcea05baba46dc upstream.

The number of times yet another open coded
`BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(long)` can be spotted is huge.
Some generic helper is long overdue.

Add one, bitmap_size(), but with one detail.
BITS_TO_LONGS() uses DIV_ROUND_UP(). The latter works well when both
divident and divisor are compile-time constants or when the divisor
is not a pow-of-2. When it is however, the compilers sometimes tend
to generate suboptimal code (GCC 13):

48 83 c0 3f          	add    $0x3f,%rax
48 c1 e8 06          	shr    $0x6,%rax
48 8d 14 c5 00 00 00 00	lea    0x0(,%rax,8),%rdx

%BITS_PER_LONG is always a pow-2 (either 32 or 64), but GCC still does
full division of `nbits + 63` by it and then multiplication by 8.
Instead of BITS_TO_LONGS(), use ALIGN() and then divide by 8. GCC:

8d 50 3f             	lea    0x3f(%rax),%edx
c1 ea 03             	shr    $0x3,%edx
81 e2 f8 ff ff 1f    	and    $0x1ffffff8,%edx

Now it shifts `nbits + 63` by 3 positions (IOW performs fast division
by 8) and then masks bits[2:0]. bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 20/133 up/down: 156/-773 (-617)

Clang does it better and generates the same code before/after starting
from -O1, except that with the ALIGN() approach it uses %edx and thus
still saves some bytes:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 9/133 up/down: 18/-538 (-520)

Note that we can't expand DIV_ROUND_UP() by adding a check and using
this approach there, as it's used in array declarations where
expressions are not allowed.
Add this helper to tools/ as well.
