Sync (copy) the following v4.12 kernel headers to the tooling headers:

  arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h:
  arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:
  arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:
  arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:
  arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:
  arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:

   - 'struct kvm_sync_regs' got changed in an ABI-incompatible way,
     fortunately none of the (in-kernel) tooling relied on it

   - new KVM_DEV calls added

  arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h:

   - 5-level paging hardware ABI detail added

  arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h:

   - new CPU feature added

  arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/vmx.h:

   - new VMX exit conditions

None of the changes requires fixes in the tooling source code.

This addresses the following warnings:

  Warning: include/uapi/linux/stat.h differs from kernel
  Warning: arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h differs from kernel

<title>bpf: Add strict alignment flag for BPF_PROG_LOAD.</title>

<id>e07b98d9bffe410019dfcf62c3428d4a96c56a2c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new field, "prog_flags", and an initial flag value
BPF_F_STRICT_ALIGNMENT.

When set, the verifier will enforce strict pointer alignment
regardless of the setting of CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

The verifier, in this mode, will also use a fixed value of "2" in
place of NET_IP_ALIGN.

This facilitates test cases that will exercise and validate this part
of the verifier even when run on architectures where alignment doesn't
matter.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Pull networking updates from David Millar:
 "Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
  happened this development cycle:

   1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)

   2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
      lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
      (me).

   3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)

   4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
      Starovoitov)

   5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
      Westphal)

   6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)

   7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger)

   8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)

   9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)

  10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
      well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
      hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

  11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay

  12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)

Add napi_id access to __sk_buff for socket filter program types, tc
program types and other bpf_convert_ctx_access() users. Having access
to skb-&gt;napi_id is useful for per RX queue listener siloing, f.e.
in combination with SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_EBPF and when busy polling is
used, meaning SO_REUSEPORT enabled listeners can then select the
corresponding socket at SYN time already [1]. The skb is marked via
skb_mark_napi_id() early in the receive path (e.g., napi_gro_receive()).

Currently, sockets can only use SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID from 6d4339028b35
("net: Introduce SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID") as a socket option to look up
the NAPI ID associated with the queue for steering, which requires a
prior sk_mark_napi_id() after the socket was looked up.

Semantics for the __sk_buff napi_id access are similar, meaning if
skb-&gt;napi_id is &lt; MIN_NAPI_ID (e.g. outgoing packets using sender_cpu),
then an invalid napi_id of 0 is returned to the program, otherwise a
valid non-zero napi_id.

<title>powerpc/perf: Define big-endian version of perf_mem_data_src</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=8c5073db0ee680c7e70e123918c9b260e49f757d'/>
<id>8c5073db0ee680c7e70e123918c9b260e49f757d</id>
<content type='text'>
perf_mem_data_src is a union that is initialized in the kernel via the -&gt;val
field and accessed by userspace via the mem_xxx bitfields. For this to work
correctly on big endian platforms, we need a big-endian definition for the
bitfields.

Currently on a big endian system, if a user requests PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC (perf
report -d), they will get the default value from perf_sample_data_init(), which
is PERF_MEM_NA. The value for PERF_MEM_NA is constructed using shifts:

  /* TLB access */
  #define PERF_MEM_TLB_NA		0x01 /* not available */
  ...
  #define PERF_MEM_TLB_SHIFT	26

  #define PERF_MEM_S(a, s) \
	(((__u64)PERF_MEM_##a##_##s) &lt;&lt; PERF_MEM_##a##_SHIFT)

  #define PERF_MEM_NA (PERF_MEM_S(OP, NA)   |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(LVL, NA)   |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(SNOOP, NA) |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(LOCK, NA)  |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(TLB, NA))

Which works out as:

  ((0x01 &lt;&lt; 0) | (0x01 &lt;&lt; 5) | (0x01 &lt;&lt; 19) | (0x01 &lt;&lt; 24) | (0x01 &lt;&lt; 26))

Which means the PERF_MEM_NA value comes out of the kernel as 0x5080021
in CPU endian.

But then in the perf tool, the code uses the bitfields to inspect the value, and
currently the bitfields are defined using little endian ordering.

So eg. in perf_mem__tlb_scnprintf() we see:
  data_src-&gt;val = 0x5080021
             op = 0x0
            lvl = 0x0
          snoop = 0x0
           lock = 0x0
           dtlb = 0x0
           rsvd = 0x5080021

Because of the way the perf tool code is written this is still displayed to the
user as "N/A", so there is no bug visible at the UI level.

Currently there are no big endian architectures which export a meaningful
value (ie. other than PERF_MEM_NA), so the extent of the bug on big endian
platforms is that the PERF_MEM_NA value is exported incorrectly as described
above. Subsequent patches will add support on big endian powerpc for populating
the data source value.

This patch does a minimal fix of adding big endian definition of the bitfields
to match the values that are already exported by the kernel on big endian. And
it makes no change on little endian.
