[ Upstream commit 450278977acbf494a20367c22fbb38729772d1fc ]

It seems Clang can in some cases turn on stack protection by default, which
doesn't work with BPF. This was reported once before[0], but it seems the
flag to explicitly turn off the stack protector wasn't added to the
Makefile, so do that now.

The symptom of this is compile errors like the following:

error: &lt;unknown&gt;:0:0: in function bpf_prog1 i32 (%struct.__sk_buff*): A call to built-in function '__stack_chk_fail' is not supported.

commit f9e6bfdbaf0cf304d72c70a05d81acac01a04f48 upstream.

When sample xdp_redirect_cpu was converted to use libbpf, the
tracepoints used by this sample were not getting attached automatically
like with bpf_load.c. The BPF-maps was still getting loaded, thus
nobody notice that the tracepoints were not updating these maps.

This fix doesn't use the new skeleton code, as this bug was introduced
in v5.1 and stable might want to backport this. E.g. Red Hat QA uses
this sample as part of their testing.

<title>samples/bpf: Don't try to remove user's homedir on clean</title>

commit b2e5e93ae8af6a34bca536cdc4b453ab1e707b8b upstream.

The 'clean' rule in the samples/bpf Makefile tries to remove backup
files (ending in ~). However, if no such files exist, it will instead try
to remove the user's home directory. While the attempt is mostly harmless,
it does lead to a somewhat scary warning like this:

rm: cannot remove '~': Is a directory

Fix this by using find instead of shell expansion to locate any actual
backup files that need to be removed.

<title>samples/seccomp: Zero out members based on seccomp_notif_sizes</title>

<content type='text'>
The sizes by which seccomp_notif and seccomp_notif_resp are allocated are
based on the SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES ioctl. This allows for graceful
extension of these datastructures. If userspace zeroes out the
datastructure based on its version, and it is lagging behind the kernel's
version, it will end up sending trailing garbage. On the other hand,
if it is ahead of the kernel version, it will write extra zero space,
and potentially cause corruption.

trace_printk schedules work via irq_work_queue(), but doesn't
wait until it was processed. The kprobe_module.tc testcase does:

:;: "Load module again, which means the event1 should be recorded";:
modprobe trace-printk
grep "event1:" trace

so the grep which checks the trace file might run before the irq work
was processed. Fix this by adding a irq_work_sync().

<id>fe3300897cbfd76c6cb825776e5ac0ca50a91ca4</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, open() is called from the user program and it calls the syscall
'sys_openat', not the 'sys_open'. This leads to an error of the program
of user side, due to the fact that the counter maps are zero since no
function such 'sys_open' is called.

This commit adds the kernel bpf program which are attached to the
tracepoint 'sys_enter_openat' and 'sys_enter_openat'.

Currently, open() is called from the user program and it calls the syscall
'sys_openat', not the 'sys_open'. This leads to an error of the program
of user side, due to the fact that the counter maps are zero since no
function such 'sys_open' is called.

This commit adds the kernel bpf program which are attached to the
tracepoint 'sys_enter_openat' and 'sys_enter_openat'.

Previously, when this sample is added, commit 1c47910ef8013
("samples/bpf: add perf_event+bpf example"), a symbol 'sys_read' and
'sys_write' has been used without no prefixes. But currently there are
no exact symbols with these under kallsyms and this leads to failure.

This commit changes exact compare to substring compare to keep compatible
with exact symbol or prefixed symbol.

<title>samples/bpf: Fix broken xdp_rxq_info due to map order assumptions</title>

In the days of using bpf_load.c the order in which the 'maps' sections
were defines in BPF side (*_kern.c) file, were used by userspace side
to identify the map via using the map order as an index. In effect the
order-index is created based on the order the maps sections are stored
in the ELF-object file, by the LLVM compiler.

This have also carried over in libbpf via API bpf_map__next(NULL, obj)
to extract maps in the order libbpf parsed the ELF-object file.

When BTF based maps were introduced a new section type ".maps" were
created. I found that the LLVM compiler doesn't create the ".maps"
sections in the order they are defined in the C-file. The order in the
ELF file is based on the order the map pointer is referenced in the code.

This combination of changes lead to xdp_rxq_info mixing up the map
file-descriptors in userspace, resulting in very broken behaviour, but
without warning the user.

This patch fix issue by instead using bpf_object__find_map_by_name()
to find maps via their names. (Note, this is the ELF name, which can
be longer than the name the kernel retains).

Fixes: be5bca44aa6b ("samples: bpf: convert some XDP samples from bpf_load to libbpf")
Fixes: 451d1dc886b5 ("samples: bpf: update map definition to new syntax BTF-defined map")
