commit 474c90156c8dcc2fa815e6716cc9394d7930cb9c upstream.

gcc-7 has an "optimization" pass that completely screws up, and
generates the code expansion for the (impossible) case of calling
ilog2() with a zero constant, even when the code gcc compiles does not
actually have a zero constant.

And we try to generate a compile-time error for anybody doing ilog2() on
a constant where that doesn't make sense (be it zero or negative).  So
now gcc7 will fail the build due to our sanity checking, because it
created that constant-zero case that didn't actually exist in the source
code.

There's a whole long discussion on the kernel mailing about how to work
around this gcc bug.  The gcc people themselevs have discussed their
"feature" in

   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72785

but it's all water under the bridge, because while it looked at one
point like it would be solved by the time gcc7 was released, that was
not to be.

So now we have to deal with this compiler braindamage.

And the only simple approach seems to be to just delete the code that
tries to warn about bad uses of ilog2().

So now "ilog2()" will just return 0 not just for the value 1, but for
any non-positive value too.

It's not like I can recall anybody having ever actually tried to use
this function on any invalid value, but maybe the sanity check just
meant that such code never made it out in public.

commit 32677207dcc5e594254b7fb4fb2352b1755b1d5b upstream.

The child_exit errno needs to be shifted by 8 bits to compare against the
return values for the bisect variables.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) In order to avoid problems in the future, make cgroup bpf overriding
    explicit using BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE. From Alexei Staovoitov.

 2) LLC sets skb-&gt;sk without proper skb-&gt;destructor and this explodes,
    fix from Eric Dumazet.

 3) Make sure when we have an ipv4 mapped source address, the
    destination is either also an ipv4 mapped address or
    ipv6_addr_any(). Fix from Jonathan T. Leighton.

 4) Avoid packet loss in fec driver by programming the multicast filter
    more intelligently. From Rui Sousa.

 5) Handle multiple threads invoking fanout_add(), fix from Eric
    Dumazet.

 6) Since we can invoke the TCP input path in process context, without
    BH being disabled, we have to accomodate that in the locking of the
    TCP probe. Also from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Fix erroneous emission of NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE when we
    aren't even updating that sysctl value. From Marcus Huewe.

 8) Fix endian bugs in ibmvnic driver, from Thomas Falcon.

[ This is the second version of the pull that reverts the nested
  rhashtable changes that looked a bit too scary for this late in the
  release  - Linus ]

<title>bpf: introduce BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag</title>

If BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag is used in BPF_PROG_ATTACH command
to the given cgroup the descendent cgroup will be able to override
effective bpf program that was inherited from this cgroup.
By default it's not passed, therefore override is disallowed.

Examples:
1.
prog X attached to /A with default
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B and /A/B/C
Everything under /A runs prog X

2.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B with default (non-override)
prog M attached to /A/B with allow_override.
Everything under /A/B runs prog M only.

3.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A with default.
The user has to detach first to switch the mode.

In the future this behavior may be extended with a chain of
non-overridable programs.

Also fix the bug where detach from cgroup where nothing is attached
was not throwing error. Return ENOENT in such case.

Add several testcases and adjust libbpf.

If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor.  Use the
existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the
cursor iterates past the node.

Commit 21e6d8428664 ("perf diff: Use perf_hpp__register_sort_field
interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field().

This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail
instead of the head.  So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its
order in the list.

This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field().

This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail
instead of the head.  So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its
order in the list.

This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

The -o/--order option is to select column number to sort a diff result.

It does the job by adding a hpp field at the beginning of the sort list.
But it should not be added to the output field list as it has no
callbacks required by a output field.

During the setup_sorting(), the perf_hpp__setup_output_field() appends
the given sort keys to the output field if it's not there already.

Originally it was checked by fmt-&gt;list being non-empty.  But commit
3f931f2c4274 ("perf hists: Make hpp setup function generic") changed it
to check the -&gt;equal callback.

Anyways, we don't need to add the pseudo hpp field to the output field
list since it won't be used for output.  So just skip fields if they
have no -&gt;color or -&gt;entry callbacks.
