        <description>Merge tag &apos;bpf-next-7.1&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-nextPull 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 &apos;syscall&apos; 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)* tag &apos;bpf-next-7.1&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (241 commits)  selftests/bpf: cover short IPv4/IPv6 inputs with adjust_room  bpf: reject short IPv4/IPv6 inputs in bpf_prog_test_run_skb  selftests/bpf: Use memfd_create instead of shm_open in cgroup_iter_memcg  selftests/bpf: Add test for cgroup storage OOB read  bpf: Fix OOB in pcpu_init_value  selftests/bpf: Fix reg_bounds to match new tnum-based refinement  selftests/bpf: Add tests for non-arena/arena operations  bpf: Allow instructions with arena source and non-arena dest registers  bpftool: add missing fsession to the usage and docs of bpftool  docs/bpf: add missing fsession attach type to docs  bpf: add missing fsession to the verifier log  bpf: Move BTF checking logic into check_btf.c  bpf: Move backtracking logic to backtrack.c  bpf: Move state equivalence logic to states.c  bpf: Move check_cfg() into cfg.c  bpf: Move compute_insn_live_regs() into liveness.c  bpf: Move fixup/post-processing logic from verifier.c into fixups.c  bpf: Simplify do_check_insn()  bpf: Move checks for reserved fields out of the main pass  bpf: Delete unused variable  ...

        <description>Merge branch &apos;libbpf-make-optimized-uprobes-backward-compatible&apos;Jiri Olsa says:====================libbpf: Make optimized uprobes backward compatiblehi,we can currently optimize uprobes on top of nop5 instructions,so application can define USDT_NOP to nop5 and use USDT macroto define optimized usdt probes.This works fine on new kernels, but could have performance penaltyon older kernels, that do not have the support to optimize and toemulate nop5 instruction.This patchset adds support to workaround the performance penaltyon older kernels that do not support uprobe optimization, pleasesee detailed description in patch 2.v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20251117083551.517393-1-jolsa@kernel.org/v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260210133649.524292-1-jolsa@kernel.org/v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260211084858.750950-1-jolsa@kernel.org/T/#tv4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260220104220.634154-1-jolsa@kernel.org/v5 changes:- keep nop_combo on stack and levae buf uninitialized  in has_nop_combo function [David]v4 changes:- rebased on latest bpf-next/master- use pread for nop combo read [Andrii]- renamed usdt triger benchmark names [Andrii]- added more ip address checks to tests [Andrii]v3 changes:- fix __x86_64 define and other typos [CI]- add missing &apos;?&apos; to usdt trigger program [CI]v2 changes:- after more investigation we realized there are some versions of  bpftrace and stap that does not work with solution suggested in  version 1, so we decided to switch to following solution:  - change USDT macro [1] emits nop,nop5 instructions combo by    default  - libbpf detects nop,nop5 instructions combo for USDT probe,    if there is and if uprobe syscall is detected libbpf installs    usdt probe on top of nop5 instruction to get it optimized- added usdt trigger benchmarks [Andrii]- several small fixes on uprobe syscall detection, tests and other places [Andrii]- true usdt.h source [1] updated [Andrii]- compile usdt_* objects unconditionally [Andrii]thanks,jirka[1] https://github.com/libbpf/usdt---====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260224103915.1369690-1-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov &lt;ast@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>selftests/bpf: Add test for checking correct nop of optimized usdtAdding test that attaches bpf program on usdt probe in 2 scenarios;- attach program on top of usdt_1, which is single nop instruction,  so the probe stays on nop instruction and is not optimized.- attach program on top of usdt_2 which is probe defined on top  of nop,nop5 combo, so the probe is placed on top of nop5 and  is optimized.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa &lt;jolsa@kernel.org&gt;Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260224103915.1369690-5-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov &lt;ast@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>selftests/bpf: Remove xxd util dependencyThe verification signature header generation requires converting abinary certificate to a C array. Previously this only worked withxxd (part of vim-common package).As xxd may not be available on some systems building selftests, it makessense to substitute it with more common utils: hexdump, wc, sed togenerate equivalent C array output.Tested by generating header with both xxd and hexdump and comparingthem.Signed-off-by: Mykyta Yatsenko &lt;yatsenko@meta.com&gt;Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko &lt;andrii@kernel.org&gt;Tested-by: Alan Maguire &lt;alan.maguire@oracle.com&gt;Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260128190552.242335-1-mykyta.yatsenko5@gmail.com

        <description>Merge branch &apos;resolve_btfids-support-for-btf-modifications&apos;Ihor Solodrai says:====================resolve_btfids: Support for BTF modificationsThis series changes resolve_btfids and kernel build scripts to enableBTF transformations in resolve_btfids. Main motivation for enhancingresolve_btfids is to reduce dependency of the kernel build on paholecapabilities [1] and enable BTF features and optimizations [2][3]particular to the kernel.Patches #1-#4 in the series are non-functional changes inresolve_btfids.Patch #5 makes kernel build notice pahole version changes betweenbuilds.Patch #6 changes minimum version of pahole required forCONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF to v1.22Patch #7 makes a small prep change in selftests/bpf build.The last patch (#8) makes significant changes in resolve_btfids andintroduces scripts/gen-btf.sh.

        <title>522397d05e7d4a7c30b91841492360336b24f833 - resolve_btfids: Change in-place update with raw binary output</title>
        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/.gitignore#522397d05e7d4a7c30b91841492360336b24f833</link>
        <description>resolve_btfids: Change in-place update with raw binary outputCurrently resolve_btfids updates .BTF_ids section of an ELF filein-place, based on the contents of provided BTF, usually within thesame input file, and optionally a BTF base.Change resolve_btfids behavior to enable BTF transformations as partof its main operation. To achieve this, in-place ELF write inresolve_btfids is replaced with generation of the following binaries:  * ${1}.BTF with .BTF section data  * ${1}.BTF_ids with .BTF_ids section data if it existed in ${1}  * ${1}.BTF.base with .BTF.base section data for out-of-tree modulesThe execution of resolve_btfids and consumption of its output isorchestrated by scripts/gen-btf.sh introduced in this patch.The motivation for emitting binary data is that it allows simplifyingresolve_btfids implementation by delegating ELF update to the $OBJCOPYtool [1], which is already widely used across the codebase.There are two distinct paths for BTF generation and resolve_btfidsapplication in the kernel build: for vmlinux and for kernel modules.For the vmlinux binary a .BTF section is added in a roundabout way toensure correct linking. The patch doesn&apos;t change this approach, onlythe implementation is a little different.Before this patch it worked as follows:  * pahole consumed .tmp_vmlinux1 [2] and added .BTF section with    llvm-objcopy [3] to it  * then everything except the .BTF section was stripped from .tmp_vmlinux1    into a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object [2], later linked into vmlinux  * resolve_btfids was executed later on vmlinux.unstripped [4],    updating it in-placeAfter this patch gen-btf.sh implements the following:  * pahole consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and produces a *detached* file with    raw BTF data  * resolve_btfids consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and detached BTF to produce    (potentially modified) .BTF, and .BTF_ids sections data  * a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object is then produced with objcopy copying    BTF output of resolve_btfids  * .BTF_ids data gets embedded into vmlinux.unstripped in    link-vmlinux.sh by objcopy --update-sectionFor kernel modules, creating a special .bpf.o file is not necessary,and so embedding of sections data produced by resolve_btfids isstraightforward with objcopy.With this patch an ELF file becomes effectively read-only withinresolve_btfids, which allows deleting elf_update() call and satellitecode (like compressed_section_fix [5]).Endianness handling of .BTF_ids data is also changed. Previously the&quot;flags&quot; part of the section was bswapped in sets_patch() [6], and thenElf_Type was modified before elf_update() to signal to libelf thatbswap may be necessary. With this patch we explicitly bswap entiredata buffer on load and on dump.[1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/131b4190-9c49-4f79-a99d-c00fac97fa44@linux.dev/[2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh?h=v6.18#n110[3] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/tree/btf_encoder.c?h=v1.31#n1803[4] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh?h=v6.18#n284[5] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200819092342.259004-1-jolsa@kernel.org/[6] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1707223196.git.vmalik@redhat.com/Signed-off-by: Ihor Solodrai &lt;ihor.solodrai@linux.dev&gt;Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko &lt;andrii@kernel.org&gt;Tested-by: Alan Maguire &lt;alan.maguire@oracle.com&gt;Acked-by: Eduard Zingerman &lt;eddyz87@gmail.com&gt;Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20251219181825.1289460-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev
