Linus Torvalds ae28ed4578 Merge tag 'bpf-next-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Support pulling non-linear xdp data with bpf_xdp_pull_data() kfunc
   (Amery Hung)

   Applied as a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

 - Support reading skb metadata via bpf_dynptr (Jakub Sitnicki)

   Also a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

 - Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibility (Daniel
   Borkmann)

 - Replace path-sensitive with path-insensitive live stack analysis in
   the verifier (Eduard Zingerman)

   This is a significant change in the verification logic. More details,
   motivation, long term plans are in the cover letter/merge commit.

 - Support signed BPF programs (KP Singh)

   This is another major feature that took years to materialize.

   Algorithm details are in the cover letter/marge commit

 - Add support for may_goto instruction to s390 JIT (Ilya Leoshkevich)

 - Add support for may_goto instruction to arm64 JIT (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Fix USDT SIB argument handling in libbpf (Jiawei Zhao)

 - Allow uprobe-bpf program to change context registers (Jiri Olsa)

 - Support signed loads from BPF arena (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi and
   Puranjay Mohan)

 - Allow access to union arguments in tracing programs (Leon Hwang)

 - Optimize rcu_read_lock() + migrate_disable() combination where it's
   used in BPF subsystem (Menglong Dong)

 - Introduce bpf_task_work_schedule*() kfuncs to schedule deferred
   execution of BPF callback in the context of a specific task using the
   kernel’s task_work infrastructure (Mykyta Yatsenko)

 - Enforce RCU protection for KF_RCU_PROTECTED kfuncs (Kumar Kartikeya
   Dwivedi)

 - Add stress test for rqspinlock in NMI (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Improve the precision of tnum multiplier verifier operation
   (Nandakumar Edamana)

 - Use tnums to improve is_branch_taken() logic (Paul Chaignon)

 - Add support for atomic operations in arena in riscv JIT (Pu Lehui)

 - Report arena faults to BPF error stream (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Search for tracefs at /sys/kernel/tracing first in bpftool (Quentin
   Monnet)

 - Add bpf_strcasecmp() kfunc (Rong Tao)

 - Support lookup_and_delete_elem command in BPF_MAP_STACK_TRACE (Tao
   Chen)
