  read/write as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface,
  he added calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other

Add a testcase to test kprobes via ftrace interface
with many concurrent kprobe events.

This tries to add many kprobe events (up to 256) on
kernel functions. To avoid making ftrace-based
kprobes (kprobes on fentry), it skips first N bytes
(on x86 N=5, on ppc or arm N=4) of function entry.
After that, it enables all those events, disable it,
and remove it.

Since the unoptimization buffer reclaiming will
be delayed, after removing events, it will wait
enough time.

This patch adds various verifier test cases:

1) A test case for the pruning issue when tracking alignment
   is used.
2) Various PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL tests to make sure pointer
   arithmetic turns such register into UNKNOWN_VALUE type.
3) Test cases for the special treatment of LD_ABS/LD_IND to
   make sure verifier doesn't break calling convention here.
   Latter is needed, since f.e. arm64 JIT uses r1 - r5 for
   storing temporary data, so they really must be marked as
   NOT_INIT.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

   when deleting an instance. It also creates a selftest that triggers
   that bug.

 - Fix the delayed optimization happening after kprobes boot up self
   tests being removed by freeing of init memory.

 - Comment kprobes on why the delay optimization is not a problem for
   removal of modules, to keep other developers from searching that
   riddle.

 - Fix another case of rcu not watching in stack trace tracing.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Fix TM resched DSCR test with some compilers</title>

<id>fe06fe860250a4f01d0eaf70a2563b1997174a74</id>
<content type='text'>
The tm-resched-dscr test has started failing sometimes, depending on
what compiler it's built with, eg:

  test: tm_resched_dscr
  Check DSCR TM context switch: tm-resched-dscr: tm-resched-dscr.c:76: test_body: Assertion `rv' failed.
  !! child died by signal 6

When it fails we see that the compiler doesn't initialise rv to 1 before
entering the inline asm block. Although that's counter intuitive, it
is allowed because we tell the compiler that the inline asm will write
to rv (using "=r"), meaning the original value is irrelevant.

Marking it as a read/write parameter would presumably work, but it seems
simpler to fix it by setting the initial value of rv in the inline asm.

<content type='text'>
Commit 0a5539f66133 ("bpf: Provide a linux/types.h override
for bpf selftests.") caused a build failure for tools/testing/selftest/bpf
because of some missing types:
    $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
    ...
    In file included from /home/yhs/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_pkt_access.c:8:
    ../../../include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:170:3: error: unknown type name '__aligned_u64'
                    __aligned_u64   key;
    ...
    /usr/include/linux/swab.h:160:8: error: unknown type name '__always_inline'
    static __always_inline __u16 __swab16p(const __u16 *p)
    ...
The type __aligned_u64 is defined in linux:include/uapi/linux/types.h.

The fix is to copy missing type definition into
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/include/uapi/linux/types.h.
Adding additional include "string.h" resolves __always_inline issue.

Commit 0a5539f66133 ("bpf: Provide a linux/types.h override
for bpf selftests.") caused a build failure for tools/testing/selftest/bpf
because of some missing types:
    $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
    ...
    In file included from /home/yhs/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_pkt_access.c:8:
    ../../../include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:170:3: error: unknown type name '__aligned_u64'
                    __aligned_u64   key;
    ...
    /usr/include/linux/swab.h:160:8: error: unknown type name '__always_inline'
    static __always_inline __u16 __swab16p(const __u16 *p)
    ...
The type __aligned_u64 is defined in linux:include/uapi/linux/types.h.

The fix is to copy missing type definition into
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/include/uapi/linux/types.h.
Adding additional include "string.h" resolves __always_inline issue.
