arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec
Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6. The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" located under "General Setup". The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and are very similar to one another, but with slight differences. The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options): - arm - arm64 - ia64 - loongarch - m68k - mips - parisc - powerpc - riscv - s390 - sh - x86 More information: In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug" https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/ the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG. In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/ To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has the following themes: - KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec - These items from arch/Kconfig: CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC - These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP - These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec - The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig. - To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> option. These gateway options determine whether the common options options are valid for the architecture. - To account for the slight differences in the original architecture coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options. An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu: > General setup > Kexec and crash features [*] Enable kexec system call [*] Enable kexec file based system call [*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support [*] kexec jump [*] kernel crash dumps [*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution: - Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>' statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement. This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent options from appearing for architectures which previously did not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options are not available to arm. - The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>. For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement. For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits the KEXEC_FILE option to be available. If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool expression. For example, arm64 had: config KEXEC depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP and in this solution, this converts to: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP - In order to account for the architecture differences in the coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on <option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from there can insert the differences from the common option and the arch original coding of that option. For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and 'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements. Illustrating the option relationships: For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options: ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option> <option> # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed For example, KEXEC: ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements). Examples: A few examples to show the new strategy in action: ===== x86 (minus the help section) ===== Original: config KEXEC bool "kexec system call" select KEXEC_CORE config KEXEC_FILE bool "kexec file based system call" select KEXEC_CORE select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA depends on X86_64 depends on CRYPTO=y depends on CRYPTO_SHA256=y config ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG bool "Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG_FORCE bool "Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_SIG config KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG bool "Enable bzImage signature verification support" depends on KEXEC_SIG depends on SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION select SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING config CRASH_DUMP bool "kernel crash dumps" depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM) config KEXEC_JUMP bool "kexec jump" depends on KEXEC && HIBERNATION help becomes...

For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time testing. For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after, even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is different. As such, the following script steps compare the before and after of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise. The script performs the test by doing the following: # Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox git checkout master git branch -D test_Kconfig git checkout -B test_Kconfig master make distclean # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden" scoreboard .config # Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox make distclean # Apply this Kconfig series git am <this Kconfig series> # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed" scoreboard .config # Determine test result # Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series # Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard # Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script, with the following exceptions: - arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig This config file has: # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. - arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU (which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP. But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled. This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original, the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP handling). This patch (of 14) The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu. The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP. Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options. Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled. To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements).

cachestat: implement cachestat syscall
There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.
- Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.
- Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.
- Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.
- Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
boot.
- Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.
- Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.
- Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.
Protocols:
- Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).
- Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
on socket by socket basis.
- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.
- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.
- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).
- Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).
- ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.
- Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.
- Remove static WEP support.
- Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
reporting.
- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).
BPF:
- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.
- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.
- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
metadata.

kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.
- Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
livepatch and BPF.
- Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
different time intervals.
- Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.
- Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.
- Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.
- Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
memory accounting for container environments.
Netfilter:
- Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.
- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.
Driver API:
- Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.
- Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.
- Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.
- Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
shared medium Ethernet.
- Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.
- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.
- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and

messages with notifications for debug.
- Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.
- Add support for per action HW stats in TC.
- Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
a specific point in the action chain).
- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.
- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

bootconfig: Default BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE to y if BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED
When a kernel is built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y, the intention will normally be to unconditionally provide the specified kernel-boot arguments to the kernel, as opposed to requiring a separately provided bootconfig parameter. Therefore, make the BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE Kconfig option default to y in kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y. The old semantics may be obtained by manually overriding this default. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230107162202.GA4028633@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/ Suggested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Allow forcing unconditional bootconfig processing
The BOOT_CONFIG family of Kconfig options allows a bootconfig file containing kernel boot parameters to be embedded into an initrd or into the kernel itself. This can be extremely useful when deploying kernels in cases where some of the boot parameters depend on the kernel version rather than on the server hardware, firmware, or workload. Unfortunately, the "bootconfig" kernel parameter must be specified in order to cause the kernel to look for the embedded bootconfig file, and it clearly does not help to embed this "bootconfig" kernel parameter into that file. Therefore, provide a new BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE Kconfig option that causes the kernel to act as if the "bootconfig" kernel parameter had been specified. In other words, kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y will look for the embedded bootconfig file even when the "bootconfig" kernel parameter is omitted. This permits kernel-version-dependent kernel boot parameters to be embedded into the kernel image without the need to (for example) update large numbers of boot loaders.

Merge tag 'rcu.2023.02.10a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
- Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
callbacks
- Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have done this for many years)
- Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
this should not (yet) affect production use cases)
- Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
admittedly on a microbenchmark
This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
kfree_rcu(p, rh)
- SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
powerpc architecture
This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
critical section to be handed off from one task to another
- Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
merge window
- RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
- A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang
- A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
result in a too-short grace period
- A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU
- Torture-test updates and fixes
- Torture-test scripting updates and fixes
- Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

Lee. 8) Enable struct_ops programs to be sleepable in verifier, from David Vernet. 9) Reduce pr_warn() noise on BTF mismatches when they are expected under the CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_BTF_MISMATCH config anyway, from Connor O'Brien. 10) Describe modulo and division by zero behavior of the BPF runtime in BPF's instruction specification document, from Dave Thaler. 11) Several improvements to libbpf API documentation in libbpf.h, from Grant Seltzer. 12) Improve resolve_btfids header dependencies related to subcmd and add proper support for HOSTCC, from Ian Rogers. 13) Add ipip6 and ip6ip decapsulation support for bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper along with BPF selftests, from Ziyang Xuan. 14) Simplify the parsing logic of structure parameters for BPF trampoline in the x86-64 JIT compiler, from Pu Lehui. 15) Get BTF working for kernels with CONFIG_RUST enabled by excluding Rust compilation units with pahole, from Martin Rodriguez Reboredo. 16) Get bpf_setsockopt() working for kTLS on top of TCP sockets, from Kui-Feng Lee. 17) Disable stack protection for BPF objects in bpftool given BPF backends don't support it, from Holger Hoffstätte. * tag 'for-netdev' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (124 commits) selftest/bpf: Make crashes more debuggable in test_progs libbpf: Add documentation to map pinning API functions libbpf: Fix malformed documentation formatting selftests/bpf: Properly enable hwtstamp in xdp_hw_metadata selftests/bpf: Calls bpf_setsockopt() on a ktls enabled socket. bpf: Check the protocol of a sock to agree the calls to bpf_setsockopt(). bpf/selftests: Verify struct_ops prog sleepable behavior bpf: Pass const struct bpf_prog * to .check_member libbpf: Support sleepable struct_ops.s section bpf: Allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS programs to be sleepable selftests/bpf: Fix vmtest static compilation error tools/resolve_btfids: Alter how HOSTCC is forced tools/resolve_btfids: Install subcmd headers bpf/docs: Document the nocast aliasing behavior of ___init bpf/docs: Document how nested trusted fields may be defined bpf/docs: Document cpumask kfuncs in a new file selftests/bpf: Add selftest suite for cpumask kfuncs selftests/bpf: Add nested trust selftests suite bpf: Enable cpumasks to be queried and used as kptrs bpf: Disallow NULLable pointers for trusted kfuncs ... ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230128004827.21371-1-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

btf, scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole
Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units (CUs) of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not currently supported by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging enabled it results in malformed kernel and module binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole to exclude Rust CUs until support for it arrives.
