commit b69d4413aa1961930fbf9ffad8376d577378daf9 upstream.

The netkit program is not a cgroup bpf program and should not be shown
in the output of the "bpftool cgroup show" command.

However, if the netkit device happens to have ifindex 3,
the "bpftool cgroup show" command will output the netkit
bpf program as well:

&gt; ip -d link show dev nk1
3: nk1@if2: ...
    link/ether ...
    netkit mode ...

&gt; bpftool net show
tc:
nk1(3) netkit/peer tw_ns_nk2phy prog_id 469447

&gt; bpftool cgroup show /sys/fs/cgroup/...
ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name
...      ...                             ...
469447   netkit_peer                     tw_ns_nk2phy

The reason is that the target_fd (which is the cgroup_fd here) and
the target_ifindex are in a union in the uapi/linux/bpf.h. The bpftool
iterates all values in "enum bpf_attach_type" which includes
non cgroup attach types like netkit. The cgroup_fd is usually 3 here,
so the bug is triggered when the netkit ifindex just happens
to be 3 as well.

The bpftool's cgroup.c already has a list of cgroup-only attach type
defined in "cgroup_attach_types[]". This patch fixes it by iterating
over "cgroup_attach_types[]" instead of "__MAX_BPF_ATTACH_TYPE".

<title>bpf: Fix L4 csum update on IPv6 in CHECKSUM_COMPLETE</title>

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>mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before</title>

<id>9cf5b2a3b72c23fb7b84736d5d19ee6ea718762b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 081056dc00a27bccb55ccc3c6f230a3d5fd3f7e0 upstream.

Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops-&gt;may_split().  This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.

Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens.  At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.

An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:

1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
    - mmap lock (exclusively)
    - VMA lock
    - file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
   call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
   only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock

Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.

commit 081056dc00a27bccb55ccc3c6f230a3d5fd3f7e0 upstream.

Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops-&gt;may_split().  This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.

Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens.  At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.

An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:

1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
    - mmap lock (exclusively)
    - VMA lock
    - file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
   call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
   only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock

Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.

<title>selftests/x86: Add a test to detect infinite SIGTRAP handler loop</title>

commit f287822688eeb44ae1cf6ac45701d965efc33218 upstream.

When FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external
debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP
handler.  To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS
must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when
ERETU completes.

This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel
correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED
is enabled.

The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to
disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.

[ Upstream commit 8e64c387c942229c551d0f23de4d9993d3a2acb6 ]

Recently as a side-effect of

commit ac053946f5c4 ("compiler.h: introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro")

issues were observed in deduplication between modules and kernel BTF
such that a large number of kernel types were not deduplicated so
were found in module BTF (task_struct, bpf_prog etc).  The root cause
appeared to be a failure to dedup struct types, specifically those
with members that were pointers with __percpu annotations.

The issue in dedup is at the point that we are deduplicating structures,
we have not yet deduplicated reference types like pointers.  If multiple
copies of a pointer point at the same (deduplicated) integer as in this
case, we do not see them as identical.  Special handling already exists
to deal with structures and arrays, so add pointer handling here too.

Avoid dereferencing bpf_map_skeleton's link field if it's NULL.
If BPF map skeleton is created with the size, that indicates containing
link field, but the field was not actually initialized with valid
bpf_link pointer, libbpf crashes. This may happen when using libbpf-rs
skeleton.
Skeleton loading may still progress, but user needs to attach struct_ops
map separately.

[ Upstream commit 4e29128a9acec2a622734844bedee013e2901bdf ]

libbpf handling of split BTF has been written largely with the
assumption that multiple splits are possible, i.e. split BTF on top of
split BTF on top of base BTF.  One area where this does not quite work
is string handling in split BTF; the start string offset should be the
base BTF string section length + the base BTF string offset.  This
worked in the past because for a single split BTF with base the start
string offset was always 0.

commit a298bbab903e3fb4cbe16d36d6195e68fad1b776 upstream.

When cross compiling the kernel with clang, we need to override
CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS when preparing the step libraries.

Prior to commit d1d096312176 ("tools: fix annoying "mkdir -p ..." logs
when building tools in parallel"), MAKEFLAGS would have been set to a
value that wouldn't set a value for CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS, hiding the
fact that we weren't properly overriding it.
