Merge tag 'bpf-next-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

- Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.

- Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
All.

- Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
multiple components:

- backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
- states.c: state equivalence
- cfg.c: control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
components
- liveness.c: register and stack liveness
- fixups.c: post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall

8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.

Further refactoring is planned for the next release.

- Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
data flow analysis.

This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,
Alexei Starovoitov)

- Introduce BTF layout to ease addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

- Use kmalloc_nolock() universally in BPF local storage (Amery Hung)

- Fix several bugs in linked registers delta tracking (Daniel Borkmann)

- Improve verifier support of arena pointers (Emil Tsalapatis)

- Improve verifier tracking of register bounds in min/max and tnum
domains (Harishankar Vishwanathan, Paul Chaignon, Hao Sun)

- Further extend support for implicit arguments in the verifier (Ihor
Solodrai)

- Add support for nop,nop5 instruction combo for USDT probes in libbpf
(Jiri Olsa)

- Support merging multiple module BTFs (Josef Bacik)

- Extend applicability of bpf_kptr_xchg (Kaitao Cheng)

- Retire rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Support variable offset context access for 'syscall' programs (Kumar
Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Migrate bpf_task_work and dynptr to kmalloc_nolock() (Mykyta
Yatsenko)

- Fix UAF in in open-coded task_vma iterator (Puranjay Mohan)

Merge branch 'bpf-split-verifier-c'

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
v3->v4: Restore few minor comments and undo few function moves
v2->v3: Actually restore comments lost in patch 3
(instead of adding them to patch 4)
v1->v2: Restore comments lost in patch 3

verifier.c is huge. Split it into logically independent pieces.
No functional changes.
The diff is impossible to review over email.
'git show' shows minimal actual changes. Only plenty of moved lines.
Such split may cause backport headaches.
We should have split it long ago.
Even after split verifier.c is still 20k lines,
but further split is harder.
