Alexei Starovoitov 654765b5c6 Merge branch 'bpf-copy_verifier_state-should-copy-loop_entry-field'
Eduard Zingerman says:

====================
This patch set fixes a bug in copy_verifier_state() where the
loop_entry field was not copied. This omission led to incorrect
loop_entry fields remaining in env->cur_state, causing incorrect
decisions about loop entry assignments in update_loop_entry().

An example of an unsafe program accepted by the verifier due to this
bug can be found in patch #2. This bug can also cause an infinite loop
in the verifier, see patch #5.

Structure of the patch set:
- Patch #1 fixes the bug but has a significant negative impact on
  verification performance for sched_ext programs.
- Patch #3 mitigates the verification performance impact of patch #1
  by avoiding clean_live_states() for states whose loop_entry is still
  being verified. This reduces the number of processed instructions
  for sched_ext programs by 28–92% in some cases.
- Patches #5-6 simplify {get,update}_loop_entry() logic (and are not
  strictly necessary).
- Patches #7–10 mitigate the memory overhead introduced by patch #1
  when a program with iterator-based loop hits the 1M instruction
  limit. This is achieved by freeing states in env->free_list when
  their branches and used_as_loop_entry counts reach zero.

Patches #1-4 were previously sent as a part of [1].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
