This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

pull-request: bpf 2018-02-09

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Two fixes for BPF sockmap in order to break up circular map references
   from programs attached to sockmap, and detaching related sockets in
   case of socket close() event. For the latter we get rid of the
   smap_state_change() and plug into ULP infrastructure, which will later
   also be used for additional features anyway such as TX hooks. For the
   second issue, dependency chain is broken up via map release callback
   to free parse/verdict programs, all from John.

2) Fix a libbpf relocation issue that was found while implementing XDP
   support for Suricata project. Issue was that when clang was invoked
   with default target instead of bpf target, then various other e.g.
   debugging relevant sections are added to the ELF file that contained
   relocation entries pointing to non-BPF related sections which libbpf
   trips over instead of skipping them. Test cases for libbpf are added
   as well, from Jesper.

3) Various misc fixes for bpftool and one for libbpf: a small addition
   to libbpf to make sure it recognizes all standard section prefixes.
   Then, the Makefile in bpftool/Documentation is improved to explicitly
   check for rst2man being installed on the system as we otherwise risk
   installing empty man pages; the man page for bpftool-map is corrected
   and a set of missing bash completions added in order to avoid shipping
   bpftool where the completions are only partially working, from Quentin.

4) Fix applying the relocation to immediate load instructions in the
   nfp JIT which were missing a shift, from Jakub.

5) Two fixes for the BPF kernel selftests: handle CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
   gracefully in test_bpf.ko module and mark them as FLAG_EXPECTED_FAIL
   in this case; and explicitly delete the veth devices in the two tests
   test_xdp_{meta,redirect}.sh before dismantling the netnses as when
   selftests are run in batch mode, then workqueue to handle destruction
   might not have finished yet and thus veth creation in next test under
   same dev name would fail, from Yonghong.

6) Fix test_kmod.sh to check the test_bpf.ko module path before performing
   an insmod, and fallback to modprobe. Especially the latter is useful
   when having a device under test that has the modules installed instead,
   from Naresh.

Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for you net tree, they
are:

1) Restore __GFP_NORETRY in xt_table allocations to mitigate effects of
   large memory allocation requests, from Michal Hocko.

2) Release IPv6 fragment queue in case of error in fragmentation header,
   this is a follow up to amend patch 83f1999caeb1, from Subash Abhinov
   Kasiviswanathan.

3) Flowtable infrastructure depends on NETFILTER_INGRESS as it registers
   a hook for each flowtable, reported by John Crispin.

4) Missing initialization of info-&gt;priv in xt_cgroup version 1, from
   Cong Wang.

5) Give a chance to garbage collector to run after scheduling flowtable
   cleanup.

6) Releasing flowtable content on nft_flow_offload module removal is
   not required at all, there is not dependencies between this module
   and flowtables, remove it.

7) Fix missing xt_rateest_mutex grabbing for hash insertions, also from
   Cong Wang.

8) Move nf_flow_table_cleanup() routine to flowtable core, this patch is
   a dependency for the next patch in this list.

9) Flowtable resources are not properly released on removal from the
   control plane. Fix this resource leak by scheduling removal of all
   entries and explicit call to the garbage collector.

10) nf_ct_nat_offset() declaration is dead code, this function prototype
    is not used anywhere, remove it. From Taehee Yoo.

11) Fix another flowtable resource leak on entry insertion failures,
    this patch also fixes a possible use-after-free. Patch from Felix
    Fietkau.

flow_offload_del frees the flow, so all associated resource must be
freed before.

Since the ct entry in struct flow_offload_entry was allocated by
flow_offload_alloc, it should be freed by flow_offload_free to take care
of the error handling path when flow_offload_add fails.

While at it, make flow_offload_del static, since it should never be
called directly, only from the gc step

Every flow_offload entry is added into the table twice. Because of this,
rhashtable_free_and_destroy can't be used, since it would call kfree for
each flow_offload object twice.

This patch cleans up the flowtable via nf_flow_table_iterate() to
schedule removal of entries by setting on the dying bit, then there is
an explicitly invocation of the garbage collector to release resources.

Based on patch from Felix Fietkau.

Commit d350a823020e ("net: erspan: create erspan metadata uapi header")
moves the erspan 'version' in front of the 'struct erspan_md2' for
later extensibility reason.  This breaks the existing erspan metadata
extraction code because the erspan_md2 then has a 4-byte offset
to between the erspan_metadata and erspan_base_hdr.  This patch
fixes it.

The selftests test_maps program was leaving dangling BPF sockmap
programs around because not all psock elements were removed from
the map. The elements in turn hold a reference on the BPF program
they are attached to causing BPF programs to stay open even after
test_maps has completed.

The original intent was that sk_state_change() would be called
when TCP socks went through TCP_CLOSE state. However, because
socks may be in SOCK_DEAD state or the sock may be a listening
socket the event is not always triggered.

To resolve this use the ULP infrastructure and register our own
proto close() handler. This fixes the above case.

<content type='text'>
Create a UID field and enum that can be used to assign ULPs to
sockets. This saves a set of string comparisons if the ULP id
is known.

For sockmap, which is added in the next patches, a ULP is used to
hook into TCP sockets close state. In this case the ULP being added
is done at map insert time and the ULP is known and done on the kernel
side. In this case the named lookup is not needed. Because we don't
want to expose psock internals to user space socket options a user
visible flag is also added. For TLS this is set for BPF it will be
cleared.

Alos remove pr_notice, user gets an error code back and should check

Create a UID field and enum that can be used to assign ULPs to
sockets. This saves a set of string comparisons if the ULP id
is known.

For sockmap, which is added in the next patches, a ULP is used to
hook into TCP sockets close state. In this case the ULP being added
is done at map insert time and the ULP is known and done on the kernel
side. In this case the named lookup is not needed. Because we don't
want to expose psock internals to user space socket options a user
visible flag is also added. For TLS this is set for BPF it will be
cleared.

Alos remove pr_notice, user gets an error code back and should check
that rather than rely on logs.
