<title>bpf: introduce bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY</title>

<id>41bdc4b40ed6fb26c6acc655ed9a243a348709c9</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, suppose a userspace application has loaded a bpf program
and attached it to a tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe, and a bpf
introspection tool, e.g., bpftool, wants to show which bpf program
is attached to which tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe. Such attachment
information will be really useful to understand the overall bpf
deployment in the system.

There is a name field (16 bytes) for each program, which could
be used to encode the attachment point. There are some drawbacks
for this approaches. First, bpftool user (e.g., an admin) may not
really understand the association between the name and the
attachment point. Second, if one program is attached to multiple
places, encoding a proper name which can imply all these
attachments becomes difficult.

This patch introduces a new bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
Given a pid and fd, if the &lt;pid, fd&gt; is associated with a
tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe perf event, BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY will return
   . prog_id
   . tracepoint name, or
   . k[ret]probe funcname + offset or kernel addr, or
   . u[ret]probe filename + offset
to the userspace.
The user can use "bpftool prog" to find more information about
bpf program itself with prog_id.

<title>tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol</title>

<content type='text'>
In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

<title>perf/core: Implement the 'perf_kprobe' PMU</title>

<id>e12f03d7031a977356e3d7b75a68c2185ff8d155</id>
<content type='text'>
A new PMU type, perf_kprobe is added. Based on attr from perf_event_open(),
perf_kprobe creates a kprobe (or kretprobe) for the perf_event. This
kprobe is private to this perf_event, and thus not added to global
lists, and not available in tracefs.

Two functions, create_local_trace_kprobe() and
destroy_local_trace_kprobe()  are added to created and destroy these
local trace_kprobe.

<title>error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe</title>

<content type='text'>
Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.

Some differences has been made:

- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
  ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
  feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
  error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

Compare instruction pointer with original one on the
stack instead using per-cpu bpf_kprobe_override flag.

This patch also consolidates reset_current_kprobe() and
preempt_enable_no_resched() blocks. Those can be done
in one place.

Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.

As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

Things got moved around between the original bpf_override_return patches
and the final version, and now the ftrace kprobe dispatcher assumes if
you modified the ip that you also enabled preemption.  Make a comment of
this and enable preemption, this fixes the lockdep splat that happened
when using this feature.
