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)

Merge branch 'uprobe-bpf-allow-to-change-app-registers-from-uprobe-registers'

Jiri Olsa says:

====================
we recently had several requests for tetragon to be able to change
user application function return value or divert its execution through
instruction pointer change.

This patchset adds support for uprobe program to change app's registers
including instruction pointer.

v4 changes:
- rebased on bpf-next/master, we will handle the future simple conflict
with tip/perf/core
- changed condition in kprobe_prog_is_valid_access [Andrii]
- added acks

selftests/bpf: Add kprobe multi write ctx attach test

Adding test to check we can't attach kprobe multi program
that writes to the context.

It's x86_64 specific test.
