[ Upstream commit 32e621e55496a0009f44fe4914cd4a23cade4984 ]

Currently, building bpf samples will cause the following error.

    ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:132:27: error: 'UINT32_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function) ..
     #define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX &gt;&gt; 8) /* verifier maximum in kernels &lt;= 5.1 */
                               ^
    ./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE'
     extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to commit 4519efa6f8ea ("libbpf: fix BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE off-by-one error")
hard-coded size of BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE has been replaced with UINT32_MAX which is
defined in &lt;stdint.h&gt; header.

Even with this change, bpf selftests are running fine since these are built
with clang and it includes header(-idirafter) from clang/6.0.0/include.
(it has &lt;stdint.h&gt;)

    clang -I. -I./include/uapi -I../../../include/uapi -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include \
    -idirafter /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/clang/6.0.0/include -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -O2 -target bpf -emit-llvm -c progs/test_sysctl_prog.c -o - | \
    llc -march=bpf -mcpu=generic  -filetype=obj -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.o

But bpf samples are compiled with GCC, and it only searches and includes
headers declared at the target file. As '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' hasn't been
declared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h, it causes build failure of bpf samples.

    gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include -I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
    -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

This commit add declaration of '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' to tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h
to fix this problem.

[ Upstream commit 0e6741f092979535d159d5a851f12c88bfb7cb9a ]

When unmapping the AF_XDP memory regions used for the rings, an
invalid address was passed to the munmap() calls. Instead of passing
the beginning of the memory region, the descriptor region was passed
to munmap.

When the userspace application tried to tear down an AF_XDP socket,
the operation failed and the application would still have a reference
to socket it wished to get rid of.

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "I'd like to apologize for this very late pull request: I was dithering
  through the week whether to send the fixes, and then yesterday Jiri's
  crash fix for a regression introduced in this cycle clearly marked
  perf/urgent as 'must merge now'.

  Most of the commits are tooling fixes, plus there's three kernel fixes
  via four commits:

    - race fix in the Intel PEBS code

    - fix an AUX bug and roll back a previous attempt

    - fix AMD family 17h generic HW cache-event perf counters

  The largest diffstat contribution comes from the AMD fix - a new event
  table is introduced, which is a fairly low risk change but has a large
  linecount"

The traceevent lib is used by the perf tool, and when executing

  perf test -v 6

it outputs error log on the ARM64 platform:

  running test 33 '*:*'trace-cmd: No such file or directory

  [...]

  trace-cmd: Invalid argument

The trace event parsing code originally came from trace-cmd so it keeps
the tag string "trace-cmd" for errors, this easily introduces the
impression that the perf tool launches trace-cmd command for trace event
parsing, but in fact the related parsing is accomplished by the
traceevent lib.

This patch changes the tag string to "libtraceevent" so that we can
avoid confusion and let users to more easily connect the error with
traceevent lib.

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) the bpf verifier fix to properly mark registers in all stack frames, from Paul.

2) preempt_enable_no_resched-&gt;preempt_enable fix, from Peter.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix missing equality check for strcmp</title>

<id>f32c2877bcb068a718bb70094cd59ccc29d4d082</id>
<content type='text'>
There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".

If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is
correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it
will behave just as if the if-statement was entered.

If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be
entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is
checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and
"u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never
reached.

This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from
trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create
libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei
("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced,
i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way.

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".

If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is

====================
pull-request: bpf 2019-03-29

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Bug fix in BTF deduplication that was mishandling an equivalence
   comparison, from Andrii.

2) libbpf Makefile fixes to properly link against libelf for the shared
   object and to actually export AF_XDP's xsk.h header, from Björn.

3) Fix use after free in bpf inode eviction, from Daniel.

4) Fix a bug in skb creation out of cpumap redirect, from Jesper.

5) Remove an unnecessary and triggerable WARN_ONCE() in max number
   of call stack frames checking in verifier, from Paul.

Both btf.h and xsk.h headers are not installed quietly due to
missing '\' for the call to QUIET_INSTALL. Lets fix it.

Before:

  # make install_headers
    INSTALL  headers
  if [ ! -d '''/usr/local/include/bpf' ]; then install -d -m 755 '''/usr/local/include/bpf'; fi; install btf.h -m 644 '''/usr/local/include/bpf';
  if [ ! -d '''/usr/local/include/bpf' ]; then install -d -m 755 '''/usr/local/include/bpf'; fi; install xsk.h -m 644 '''/usr/local/include/bpf';
  # ls /usr/local/include/bpf/
  bpf.h  btf.h  libbpf.h  xsk.h

After:

  # make install_headers
    INSTALL  headers
  # ls /usr/local/include/bpf/
  bpf.h  btf.h  libbpf.h  xsk.h

Fixes: a493f5f9d8c2 ("libbpf: Install btf.h with libbpf")
Fixes: 379e2014c95b ("libbpf: add xsk.h to install_headers target")
