<content type='text'>
As reported by sashiko we use __get_user without prior access_ok call on the
user space pointer. Adding the missing call for the whole pointer array.

Plus removing the err check in the error path, because it's not needed and
also we can return -ENOMEM directly from the first kvmalloc_array fail path.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt

 - Do not invalidate entire buffer for invalid sub-buffers

   For the persistent ring buffer, if one sub-buffer is found to be
   invalid, it invalidates the entire per CPU ring buffer. This can lose
   a lot of valuable data if there's some corruption with the writes to
   the buffer not syncing properly on a hard crash. Instead, if a
   sub-buffer is found to be invalid, simply zero it out and mark it for
   "missed events".

   When the persistent ring buffer is read and a sub-buffer that was
   cleared due to being invalid on boot up is discovered, the output
   will show "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know that events were
   missing at that location. Displaying the events from valid buffers
   can still be useful.

 - Add a test to be able to test corrupted sub-buffers

   If a persistent ring buffer is created as "ptraingtest" and the new
   config that adds the test is enabled, when a panic happens, the
   kernel will randomly corrupt one of the per CPU ring buffers. On boot
   up, the sub-buffers with the corruption should be cleared and
   flagged. When reading this buffer, the missed events should should
   [LOST EVENTS].

 - Add commit number in the sub-buffer meta debug info

   The commit is used to know the content of a meta page. Add it to the
   buffer_meta file that is shown for each per CPU buffer.

 - Clean up the persistent ring buffer validation code

   Add some helper functions and make variable names more consistent.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove a redundant IS_ERR() check

   trace_pipe_open() already checks for IS_ERR() and does it again in
   the return path. Remove the return check.

 - Export seq_buf_putmem_hex() to allow kunit tests against them

   To add Kunit tests on seq_buf_putmem_hex(), it needs to be exported.

 - Replace strcat() and strcpy() with seq_buf() logic

   The code for synthetic events uses a series of strcat() and strcpy()
   which can be error prone. Replace them with seq_buf() logic that does
   all the necessary bound checking.

 - Add a lockdep rcu_is_watching() to trace_##event##_enabled() call

   The trace_##event##_enabled() is a static branch that is true if the
   "event" is enabled. But this can hide bugs if this logic is in a
   location where RCU is disabled and not "watching". It would only
   trigger if lockdep is enabled and the event is enabled.

   Add a "rcu_is_watching()" warning if lockdep is enabled in that
   helper function to trigger regardless if the event is enabled or not.

 - Remove the local variable in the trace_printk() macro

   For name space integrity, remove the _______STR variable in the
   trace_printk() macro for using the sizeof() macro directly.

 - Use guard()s for the trace_recursion_record.c file

 - Fix typo in a comment of eventfs_callback() kerneldoc

 - Use trace_call__##event() in events within trace_##event##_enabled()

   A couple of events are called within an if block guarded by
   trace_##event##_enabled(). That is a static key that is only enabled
   when the event is enabled. The trace_call_##event() calls the
   tracepoint code directly without adding a redundant static key for
   that check.

 - Allow perf to read synthetic events

   Currently, perf does not have the ability to enable a synthetic
   event. If it does, it will either cause a kernel warning or error
   with "No such device". Synthetic events are not much different than
   kprobes and perf can handle fine with a few modifications.

 - Replace printk(KERN_WARNING ...) with pr_warn()

 - Replace krealloc() on an array with krealloc_array()

 - Fix README file path name for synthetic events

 - Change tracing_map tracing_map_array to use a flexible array

   Instead of allocating a separate pointer to hold the pages field of
   tracing_map_array, allocate the pages field as a flexible array when
   allocating the structure.

 - Fold trace_iterator_increment() into trace_find_next_entry_inc()

   The function trace_iterator_increment() was only used by
   trace_find_next_entry_inc(). It's not big enough to be a helper
   function for one user. Fold it into its caller.

 - Make field_var_str field a flexible array of hist_elt_data

   Instead of allocating a separate pointer for the field_var_str array
   of the hist_elt_data structure, allocate it as a flexible array when
   allocating the structure.

 - Disable KCOV for trace_irqsoff.c

   Like trace_preemptirq.c, trace_irqsoff.c has code that will crash
   when KCOV is enabled on ARM. The irqsoff tracing can be called on ARM
   because the irqsoff tracing code can be run from early interrupt code
   and produce coverage unrelated to syscall inputs.

 - Fix warning in __unregister_ftrace_function() called by perf

   Perf calls unregister_ftrace_function() without checking if its
   ftrace_ops has already been unregistered. There's an error path where
   on clean up it will unregister the ftrace_ops even if it wasn't
   registered and causes a warning.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "Major changes:

   - Recover from BPF arena page faults using a scratch page and add
     ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs on x86 and arm64.

     This allows BPF kfuncs to access arena pointers directly.

     The 'arena_direct_access' stable branch was created for this work
     and was pulled into sched-ext and bpf-next trees (Tejun Heo, Kumar
     Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Lift old restriction and support 6+ arguments in BPF programs and
     kfuncs on x86 and arm64 (Yonghong Song, Puranjay Mohan)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add 24-bit BTF vlen and reclaim unused bits in the BTF UAPI to ease
     addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

   - Raise the maximum BPF call chain depth from 8 to 16 frames (Alexei
     Starovoitov)

   - Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a
     dynptr use-after-free bug (Amery Hung)

   - Harden the signed program loader and reject exclusive maps as inner
     maps (Daniel Borkmann)

   - Replace the verifier min/max bounds fields with a circular number
     (cnum) representation and improve 32-&gt;64 bit range refinements
     (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Introduce the arena library and runtime (libarena) with a buddy
     allocator, rbtree and SPMC queue data structures, ASAN support and
     a parallel test harness. Allow subprograms to return arena pointers
     and switch to a BTF type-tag based __arena annotation (Emil
     Tsalapatis)

   - Cache build IDs in the sleepable stackmap path and avoid faultable
     build ID reads under mm locks (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Introduce the tracing_multi link to attach a single BPF program to
     many kernel functions at once. Allow specifying the uprobe_multi
     target via FD (Jiri Olsa)

   - Extend the bpf_list family of kfuncs with bpf_list_add/del(), and
     bpf_list_is_first/is_last/empty() (Kaitao Cheng)

   - Extend the BPF syscall with common attributes support for
     prog_load, btf_load and map_create (Leon Hwang)

   - Wrap rhashtable as BPF map (Mykyta Yatsenko, Herbert Xu)

   - Add sleepable support for tracepoint programs and fix deadlocks in
     LRU map due to NMI reentry (Mykyta Yatsenko)

   - Fix OOB access in bpf_flow_keys, fix nullness analysis of inner
     arrays, enforce write checks for global subprograms (Nuoqi Gui)

   - Report the maximum combined stack depth and print a breakdown of
     instructions processed per subprogram (Paul Chaignon)

   - Add an XDP load-balancer benchmark and arm64 JIT support for stack
     arguments (Puranjay Mohan)

   - Add kfuncs to traverse over wakeup_sources (Samuel Wu)

   - Allow sleepable BPF programs to use LPM trie maps directly (Vlad
     Poenaru)

   - Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, BTF, sockmap,
     devmap, bpffs, security hooks, s390/riscv/loongarch JITs,
     rqspinlock, libbpf, bpftool, selftests"

Pull tracing latency updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Dump the stack to the buffer on timerlat uret threashold event

   Record the stack trace in the buffer for THREAD_URET as well as
   THREAD_CONTEXT when the threshold is hit. Otherwise, if the threshold
   was not hit at task wakeup, but was at task return, it will not
   produce a stack trace making it harder to debug.

 - Have osnoise trace prints print to all buffers

   The osnoise tracer is allowed to print to the main buffer. Add a
   osnoise_print() helper function and use trace_array_vprintk() to
   print osnoise output.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - BTF support for dereferencing pointers

   Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to typecast structure pointer
   trace event fields, enabling BTF-based dereferencing instead of
   relying on manual offsets.

 - Improvements and robustness enhancements

    - Use flexible array for entry fetch code.

      Store probe entry fetch instructions in the probe_entry_arg
      allocation via a flexible array member to simplify memory
      allocation and lifetime management.

    - Replace BUG_ON with lockdep_assert_held in uprobe_buffer functions

      Replace BUG_ON() calls with lockdep_assert_held() in uprobe buffer
      enable/disable paths to prevent kernel crashes and better verify
      lock ownership.

    - Ensure the uprobe buffer size is bigger than event size.

      Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() assertion to guarantee that the per-CPU
      uprobe working buffer size is always larger than the maximum probe
      event size.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "SMP load-balancing updates:

   - A large series to introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load

     locality, the scheduler can reduce cache bouncing and cache misses,
     ultimately improving data access efficiency.

<title>bpf: Add support to specify uprobe_multi target via file descriptor</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow uprobe_multi link to identify the target binary by an already
opened file descriptor.

Adding new BPF_F_UPROBE_MULTI_PATH_FD flag and the path_fd field for
the attr.link_create.uprobe_multi struct.

When the flag is set, we resolve the target from path_fd, without the
flag, we keep the existing string path behavior.

I don't see a use case for supporting O_PATH file descriptors, because
we need to read the binary first to get probes offsets, so I'm using
the CLASS(fd, f), which fails for O_PATH fds.
