commit 8f50f16ff39dd4e2d43d1548ca66925652f8aff7 upstream.

Add coverage to the verifier tests and tests for reading bpf_sock fields to
ensure that 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit loads from dst_port field are allowed
only at intended offsets and produce expected values.

While 16-bit and 8-bit access to dst_port field is straight-forward, 32-bit
wide loads need be allowed and produce a zero-padded 16-bit value for
backward compatibility.

To pick the change in:

  7957d93bf32bc211 ("block: add ioctl to read the disk sequence number")

It adds a new ioctl, but we are still not using that to generate tables
for 'perf trace', so no changes in tooling.

This silences this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/fs.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/fs.h'

That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument

   to another congestion control algorithm during init, from Martin KaFai Lau.

5) Extend BPF iterator support for UNIX domain sockets, from Kuniyuki Iwashima.

6) Allow bpf_{set,get}sockopt() calls from setsockopt progs, from Prankur Gupta.

7) Add bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper for BPF_PROG_TYPE_{SOCK_OPS,CGROUP_SOCKOPT}

<title>ipv6: add IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to expose mtu value</title>

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/&lt;iface&gt;/mtu"
file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last
received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the
interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations:

(1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net/&lt;iface&gt;/mtu) is
updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/&lt;iface&gt;/mtu) will
be updated to the value of interface mtu;
(2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/&lt;iface&gt;/mtu) only affect
ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4.

Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message,
there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain
RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6.

After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option,
you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK,
and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to
get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the
inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification
when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll.

In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from
the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are
different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value
and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device
can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_task_pt_regs() helper</title>

The motivation behind this helper is to access userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler.

uprobe's ctx is the userspace pt_regs. kprobe's ctx is the kernelspace
pt_regs. bpf_task_pt_regs() allows accessing userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler. The final case (kernelspace pt_regs in uprobe) is
pretty rare (usermode helper) so I think that can be solved later if
necessary.

More concretely, this helper is useful in doing BPF-based DWARF stack
unwinding. Currently the kernel can only do framepointer based stack
unwinds for userspace code. This is because the DWARF state machines are
too fragile to be computed in kernelspace [0]. The idea behind
DWARF-based stack unwinds w/ BPF is to copy a chunk of the userspace
stack (while in prog context) and send it up to userspace for unwinding
(probably with libunwind) [1]. This would effectively enable profiling
applications with -fomit-frame-pointer using kprobes and uprobes.
