The main changes are: 1) Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock critical sections, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi. 2) Fix confusing and incorrect inference of PTR_TO_CTX argument type in BPF global subprogs, from Andrii Nakryiko. 3) Larger batch of riscv BPF JIT improvements and enabling inlining of the bpf_kptr_xchg() for RV64, from Pu Lehui. 4) Allow skeleton users to change the values of the fields in struct_ops maps at runtime, from Kui-Feng Lee. 5) Extend the verifier's capabilities of tracking scalars when they are spilled to stack, especially when the spill or fill is narrowing, from Maxim Mikityanskiy & Eduard Zingerman. 6) Various BPF selftest improvements to fix errors under gcc BPF backend, from Jose E. Marchesi. 7) Avoid module loading failure when the module trying to register a struct_ops has its BTF section stripped, from Geliang Tang. 8) Annotate all kfuncs in .BTF_ids section which eventually allows for automatic kfunc prototype generation from bpftool, from Daniel Xu. 9) Several updates to the instruction-set.rst IETF standardization document, from Dave Thaler. 10) Shrink the size of struct bpf_map resp. bpf_array, from Alexei Starovoitov. 11) Initial small subset of BPF verifier prepwork for sleepable bpf_timer, from Benjamin Tissoires. 12) Fix bpftool to be more portable to musl libc by using POSIX's basename(), from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. 13) Add libbpf support to gcc in CORE macro definitions, from Cupertino Miranda. 14) Remove a duplicate type check in perf_event_bpf_event, from Florian Lehner. 15) Fix bpf_spin_{un,}lock BPF helpers to actually annotate them with notrace correctly, from Yonghong Song. 16) Replace the deprecated bpf_lpm_trie_key 0-length array with flexible array to fix build warnings, from Kees Cook. 17) Fix resolve_btfids cross-compilation to non host-native endianness, from Viktor Malik. * tag 'for-netdev' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (119 commits) selftests/bpf: Test if shadow types work correctly. bpftool: Add an example for struct_ops map and shadow type. bpftool: Generated shadow variables for struct_ops maps. libbpf: Convert st_ops->data to shadow type. libbpf: Set btf_value_type_id of struct bpf_map for struct_ops. bpf: Replace bpf_lpm_trie_key 0-length array with flexible array bpf, arm64: use bpf_prog_pack for memory management arm64: patching: implement text_poke API bpf, arm64: support exceptions arm64: stacktrace: Implement arch_bpf_stack_walk() for the BPF JIT bpf: add is_async_callback_calling_insn() helper bpf: introduce in_sleepable() helper bpf: allow more maps in sleepable bpf programs selftests/bpf: Test case for lacking CFI stub functions. bpf: Check cfi_stubs before registering a struct_ops type. bpf: Clarify batch lookup/lookup_and_delete semantics bpf, docs: specify which BPF_ABS and BPF_IND fields were zero bpf, docs: Fix typos in instruction-set.rst selftests/bpf: update tcp_custom_syncookie to use scalar packet offset bpf: Shrink size of struct bpf_map/bpf_array. ... ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240301001625.8800-1-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
