Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
   Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.

 - Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
   All.

 - Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
   multiple components:

    - backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
    - states.c:    state equivalence
    - cfg.c:       control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
                   components
    - liveness.c:  register and stack liveness
    - fixups.c:    post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
                   code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall

   8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.

   Further refactoring is planned for the next release.

 - Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
   data flow analysis.

   This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
   equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
   supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,

1c22483a2c bpf: reject negative CO-RE accessor indices in bpf_core_parse_spec()
CO-RE accessor strings are colon-separated indices that describe a path
from a root BTF type to a target field, e.g. "0:1:2" walks through
nested struct members. bpf_core_parse_spec() parses each component with
sscanf("%d"), so negative values like -1 are silently accepted.  The
subsequent bounds checks (access_idx >= btf_vlen(t)) only guard the
upper bound and always pass for negative values because C integer
promotion converts the __u16 btf_vlen result to int, making the
comparison (int)(-1) >= (int)(N) false for any positive N.

When -1 reaches btf_member_bit_offset() it gets cast to u32 0xffffffff,
producing an out-of-bounds read far past the members array.  A crafted
BPF program with a negative CO-RE accessor on any struct that exists in
vmlinux BTF (e.g. task_struct) crashes the kernel deterministically
during BPF_PROG_LOAD on any system with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
(default on major distributions).  The bug is reachable with CAP_BPF:

6bc0987d0b mm/vma: add vma_flags_empty(), vma_flags_and(), vma_flags_diff_pair()
Patch series "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code", v4.

This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t
data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it.

In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers:

* vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits
  set.

* vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values.

* vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a
  pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values)

* append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t
  value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied
  and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags
  specified to append to it.

* vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to
  a set of VMA flags.

* vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal
  to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant).

* vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are
  exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant).

* vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t
  value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of
  vma_flags_t.

* legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t
  value, for the same purpose.

* vma_flags_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a vma_flags_t value contain
  the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that
  flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for
  config-predicated VMA flag mask defines.

* vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain a specific singular VMA
  flag.

* vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA
  flags.

* vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the
  flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value.

* vma_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain the single
  flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is
  empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag
  mask defines.

* vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t
  value.

* vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value
  (typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value.

The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that
contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h.

It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much
as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be
able to do so.

It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA
flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible.

There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that
all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly.


This patch (of 25):

Firstly, add the ability to determine if VMA flags are empty, that is no
flags are set in a vma_flags_t value.

Next, add the ability to obtain the equivalent of the bitwise and of two
vma_flags_t values, via vma_flags_and_mask().

Next, add the ability to obtain the difference between two sets of VMA
flags, that is the equivalent to the exclusive bitwise OR of the two sets
of flags, via vma_flags_diff_pair().

vma_flags_xxx_mask() typically operates on a pointer to a vma_flags_t
value, which is assumed to be an lvalue of some kind (such as a field in a
struct or a stack variable) and an rvalue of some kind (typically a
constant set of VMA flags obtained e.g.  via mk_vma_flags() or
equivalent).

However vma_flags_diff_pair() is intended to operate on two lvalues, so
use the _pair() suffix to make this clear.

Finally, update VMA userland tests to add these helpers.

We also port bitmap_xor() and __bitmap_xor() to the tools/ headers and
source to allow the tests to work with vma_flags_diff_pair().

e1621c7528 libbpf: Clarify raw-address single kprobe attach behavior
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts() documents single-kprobe attach
through func_name, with an optional offset. For the PMU-based path,
func_name = NULL with an absolute address in offset already works as
well, but that is not described in the API.

This commit clarifies this existing non-legacy behavior. For PMU-based
attach, callers can use func_name = NULL with an absolute address in
offset as the raw-address form. For legacy tracefs/debugfs kprobes,
reject this form explicitly.

1cc96e0e20 libbpf: Fix BTF handling in bpf_program__clone()
Align bpf_program__clone() with bpf_object_load_prog() by gating
BTF func/line info on FEAT_BTF_FUNC kernel support, and resolve
caller-provided prog_btf_fd before checking obj->btf so that callers
with their own BTF can use clone() even when the object has no BTF
loaded.

While at it, treat func_info and line_info fields as atomic groups
to prevent mismatches between pointer and count from different sources.

Move bpf_program__clone() to libbpf 1.8.

081677d03d libbpf: Support sanitization of BTF layout for older kernels
Add a FEAT_BTF_LAYOUT feature check which checks if the
kernel supports BTF layout information.  Also sanitize
BTF if it contains layout data but the kernel does not
support it.  The sanitization requires rewriting raw
BTF data to update the header and eliminate the layout
section (since it lies between the types and strings),
so refactor sanitization to do the raw BTF retrieval
and creation of updated BTF, returning that new BTF
on success.

087f3964f4 libbpf: Support layout section handling in BTF
Support reading in layout fixing endian issues on reading;
also support writing layout section to raw BTF object.
There is not yet an API to populate the layout with meaningful
information.

As part of this, we need to consider multiple valid BTF header
sizes; the original or the layout-extended headers.
So to support this, the "struct btf" representation is modified
to contain a "struct btf_header" and we copy the valid
portion from the raw data to it; this means we can always safely
check fields like btf->hdr.layout_len .

Note if parsed-in BTF has extra header information beyond
sizeof(struct btf_header) - if so we make that BTF ineligible
for modification by setting btf->has_hdr_extra .

Ensure that we handle endianness issues for BTF layout section,
though currently only field that needs this (flags) is unused.

The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list,
not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when
kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**"
without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match
between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing
problems to generate the YAML output.

Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem
structure.

This shouldn't affect performance or memory footprint, except

2f07ddbd57 docs: xforms_lists: better evaluate struct_group macros
The previous approach were to unwind nested structs/unions.

Now that we have a logic that can handle it well, use it to
ensure that struct_group macros will properly reflect the
actual struct.

Note that the replacemend logic still simplifies the code
a little bit, as the basic build block for struct group is:

	union { \
		struct { MEMBERS } ATTRS; \
		struct __struct_group_tag(TAG) { MEMBERS } ATTRS NAME; \
	} ATTRS

There:

- ATTRS is meant to add extra macro attributes like __packed
  which we already discard, as they aren't relevant to
  document struct members;

- TAG is used only when built with __cplusplus.

So, instead, convert them into just:

    struct { MEMBERS };

Please notice that here, we're using the greedy version of the
backrefs, as MEMBERS is actually MEMBERS... on all such macros.

df50e848f6 docs: add a C tokenizer to be used by kernel-doc
Handling C code purely using regular expressions doesn't work well.

Add a C tokenizer to help doing it the right way.

The tokenizer was written using as basis the Python re documentation
tokenizer example from:
    https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#writing-a-tokenizer

b1e64e30fc docs: kdoc: don't add broken comments inside prototypes
Parsing a file like drivers/scsi/isci/host.h, which contains
broken kernel-doc markups makes it create a prototype that contains
unmatched end comments.

That causes, for instance, struct sci_power_control to be shown this
this prototype:

    struct sci_power_control {
        * it is not. */ bool timer_started;
        */ struct sci_timer timer;
        * requesters field. */ u8 phys_waiting;
        */ u8 phys_granted_power;
        * mapped into requesters via struct sci_phy.phy_index */ struct isci_phy *requesters[SCI_MAX_PHYS];
    };

as comments won't start with "/*" anymore.

Fix the logic to detect such cases, and keep adding the comments
inside it.

023aabb6cc docs: python: add helpers to run unit tests
While python internal libraries have support for unit tests, its
output is not nice. Add a helper module to improve its output.

I wrote this module last year while testing some scripts I used
internally. The initial skeleton was generated with the help of
LLM tools, but it was higly modified to ensure that it will work
as I would expect.

970bd2dced libbpf: Introduce bpf_program__clone()
Add bpf_program__clone() API that loads a single BPF program from a
prepared BPF object into the kernel, returning a file descriptor owned
by the caller.

After bpf_object__prepare(), callers can use bpf_program__clone() to
load individual programs with custom bpf_prog_load_opts, instead of
loading all programs at once via bpf_object__load(). Non-zero fields in
opts override the defaults derived from the program and object
internals; passing NULL opts populates everything automatically.
