Pull kprobe fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "The documentation for kprobe events says that symbol offets can take
  both a + and - sign to get to befor and after the symbol address.

  But in actuality, the code does not support the minus. This fixes that
  issue, and adds a few more selftests to kprobe events"

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>trace/bpf: remove helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value from tracepoint type programs</title>

Commit 4bebdc7a85aa ("bpf: add helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value")
added helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value so that perf_event type program
can read event counter and enabled/running time.
This commit, however, introduced a bug which allows this helper
for tracepoint type programs. This is incorrect as bpf_perf_prog_read_value
needs to access perf_event through its bpf_perf_event_data_kern type context,
which is not available for tracepoint type program.

This patch fixed the issue by separating bpf_func_proto between tracepoint
and perf_event type programs and removed bpf_perf_prog_read_value
from tracepoint func prototype.

syzkaller tried to perform a prog query in perf_event_query_prog_array()
where struct perf_event_query_bpf had an ids_len of 1,073,741,353 and
thus causing a warning due to failed kcalloc() allocation out of the
bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() helper. Given we cannot attach more than
64 programs to a perf event, there's no point in allowing huge ids_len.
Therefore, allow a buffer that would fix the maximum number of ids and
also add a __GFP_NOWARN to the temporary ids buffer.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

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.

Al Viro reported:

    For substring - sure, but what about something like "*a*b" and "a*b"?
    AFAICS, filter_parse_regex() ends up with identical results in both
    cases - MATCH_GLOB and *search = "a*b".  And no way for the caller
    to tell one from another.

Testing this with the following:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo '*raw*lock' &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

With this patch:

 # echo '*raw*lock' &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
_raw_read_trylock
_raw_write_trylock
_raw_read_unlock
_raw_spin_unlock
_raw_write_unlock
_raw_spin_trylock
_raw_spin_lock
_raw_write_lock
_raw_read_lock

Al recommended not setting the search buffer to skip the first '*' unless we
know we are not using MATCH_GLOB. This implements his suggested logic.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (-&gt;len is ignored for that
    one).

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "There's not much changes for the tracing system this release. Mostly
  small clean ups and fixes.

  The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by
  trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and
  the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to
  keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by
  you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced.

  If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when
  the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The
  problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to
  oops.

  The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the
  formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this
  guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)"

* tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers
  ftrace: Mark function tracer test functions noinline/noclone
  trace_uprobe: Display correct offset in uprobe_events
  tracing: Make sure the parsed string always terminates with '\0'
  tracing: Clear parser-&gt;idx if only spaces are read
  tracing: Detect the string nul character when parsing user input string

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Significantly shrink the core networking routing structures. Result
    of http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/seoul2017_netdev_keynote.pdf

 2) Add netdevsim driver for testing various offloads, from Jakub
    Kicinski.

 3) Support cross-chip FDB operations in DSA, from Vivien Didelot.

 4) Add a 2nd listener hash table for TCP, similar to what was done for
    UDP. From Martin KaFai Lau.

 5) Add eBPF based queue selection to tun, from Jason Wang.

 6) Lockless qdisc support, from John Fastabend.

 7) SCTP stream interleave support, from Xin Long.

 8) Smoother TCP receive autotuning, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Lots of erspan tunneling enhancements, from William Tu.

10) Add true function call support to BPF, from Alexei Starovoitov.

11) Add explicit support for GRO HW offloading, from Michael Chan.

12) Support extack generation in more netlink subsystems. From Alexander
    Aring, Quentin Monnet, and Jakub Kicinski.

13) Add 1000BaseX, flow control, and EEE support to mvneta driver. From
    Russell King.

14) Add flow table abstraction to netfilter, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

15) Many improvements and simplifications to the NFP driver bpf JIT,
    from Jakub Kicinski.

16) Support for ipv6 non-equal cost multipath routing, from Ido
    Schimmel.

17) Add resource abstration to devlink, from Arkadi Sharshevsky.

18) Packet scheduler classifier shared filter block support, from Jiri
    Pirko.

19) Avoid locking in act_csum, from Davide Caratti.

20) devinet_ioctl() simplifications from Al viro.

21) More TCP bpf improvements from Lawrence Brakmo.

22) Add support for onlink ipv6 route flag, similar to ipv4, from David
    Ahern.
