Merge tag 'bpf-next-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

- Support pulling non-linear xdp data with bpf_xdp_pull_data() kfunc
(Amery Hung)

Applied as a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

- Support reading skb metadata via bpf_dynptr (Jakub Sitnicki)

Also a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

- Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibility (Daniel
Borkmann)

- Replace path-sensitive with path-insensitive live stack analysis in
the verifier (Eduard Zingerman)

This is a significant change in the verification logic. More details,
motivation, long term plans are in the cover letter/merge commit.

- Support signed BPF programs (KP Singh)

This is another major feature that took years to materialize.

Algorithm details are in the cover letter/marge commit

- Add support for may_goto instruction to s390 JIT (Ilya Leoshkevich)

- Add support for may_goto instruction to arm64 JIT (Puranjay Mohan)

- Fix USDT SIB argument handling in libbpf (Jiawei Zhao)

- Allow uprobe-bpf program to change context registers (Jiri Olsa)

- Support signed loads from BPF arena (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi and
Puranjay Mohan)

- Allow access to union arguments in tracing programs (Leon Hwang)

- Optimize rcu_read_lock() + migrate_disable() combination where it's
used in BPF subsystem (Menglong Dong)

- Introduce bpf_task_work_schedule*() kfuncs to schedule deferred
execution of BPF callback in the context of a specific task using the
kernel’s task_work infrastructure (Mykyta Yatsenko)

- Enforce RCU protection for KF_RCU_PROTECTED kfuncs (Kumar Kartikeya
Dwivedi)

- Add stress test for rqspinlock in NMI (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Improve the precision of tnum multiplier verifier operation
(Nandakumar Edamana)

- Use tnums to improve is_branch_taken() logic (Paul Chaignon)

- Add support for atomic operations in arena in riscv JIT (Pu Lehui)

- Report arena faults to BPF error stream (Puranjay Mohan)

- Search for tracefs at /sys/kernel/tracing first in bpftool (Quentin
Monnet)

- Add bpf_strcasecmp() kfunc (Rong Tao)

- Support lookup_and_delete_elem command in BPF_MAP_STACK_TRACE (Tao
Chen)

selftests/bpf: Clobber a lot of registers in tailcall_bpf2bpf_hierarchy tests

Clobbering a lot of registers and stack slots helps exposing tail call
counter overwrite bugs in JITs.
