Linux kernel source tree

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== As more and more real-world BPF programs become more complex and increasingly use subprograms (both static and global), scalar precision tracking and its (previously weak) support for BPF subprograms (and callbacks as a special case of that) is becoming more and more of an issue and limitation. Couple that with increasing reliance on state equivalence (BPF open-coded iterators have a hard requirement for state equivalence to converge and successfully validate loops), and it becomes pretty critical to address this limitation and make precision tracking universally supported for BPF programs of any complexity and composition. This patch set teaches BPF verifier to support SCALAR precision backpropagation across multiple frames (for subprogram calls and callback simulations) and addresses most practical situations (SCALAR stack loads/stores using registers other than r10 being the last remaining limitation, though thankfully rarely used in practice). Main logic is explained in details in patch #8. The rest are preliminary preparations, refactorings, clean ups, and fixes. See respective patches for details. Patch #8 has also veristat comparison of results for selftests, Cilium, and some of Meta production BPF programs before and after these changes. v2->v3: - drop bitcnt and ifs from bt_xxx() helpers (Alexei); v1->v2: - addressed review feedback form Alexei, adjusted commit messages, comments, added verbose(), WARN_ONCE(), etc; - re-ran all the tests and veristat on selftests, cilium, and meta-internal code: no new changes and no kernel warnings. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

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 Restructured Text 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.
