====================
From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
v4->v5:
. Reduce number of memory allocations in candidate cache logic
. Fix couple UAF issues
. Add Andrii's patch to cleanup struct bpf_core_cand
. More thorough tests
. Planned followups:
- support -v in lskel
- move struct bpf_core_spec out of bpf_core_apply_relo_insn to
reduce stack usage
- implement bpf_core_types_are_compat
v3->v4:
. complete refactor of find candidates logic.
Now it has small permanent cache.
. Fix a bug in gen_loader related to attach_kind.
. Fix BTF log size limit.
. More tests.
v2->v3:
. addressed Andrii's feedback in every patch.
New field in union bpf_attr changed from "core_relo" to "core_relos".
. added one more test and checkpatch.pl-ed the set.
v1->v2:
. Refactor uapi to pass 'struct bpf_core_relo' from LLVM into libbpf and further
into the kernel instead of bpf_core_apply_relo() bpf helper. Because of this
change the CO-RE algorithm has an ability to log error and debug events through
the standard bpf verifer log mechanism which was not possible with helper
approach.
. #define RELO_CORE macro was removed and replaced with btf_member_bit_offset() patch.
This set introduces CO-RE support in the kernel.
There are several reasons to add such support:
1. It's a step toward signed BPF programs.
2. It allows golang like languages that struggle to adopt libbpf
to take advantage of CO-RE powers.
3. Currently the field accessed by 'ldx [R1 + 10]' insn is recognized
by the verifier purely based on +10 offset. If R1 points to a union
the verifier picks one of the fields at this offset.
With CO-RE the kernel can disambiguate the field access.
Alexei Starovoitov (16):
libbpf: Replace btf__type_by_id() with btf_type_by_id().
bpf: Rename btf_member accessors.
bpf: Prepare relo_core.c for kernel duty.
bpf: Define enum bpf_core_relo_kind as uapi.
bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command.
bpf: Adjust BTF log size limit.
bpf: Add bpf_core_add_cands() and wire it into
bpf_core_apply_relo_insn().
libbpf: Use CO-RE in the kernel in light skeleton.
libbpf: Support init of inner maps in light skeleton.
libbpf: Clean gen_loader's attach kind.
selftests/bpf: Add lskel version of kfunc test.
selftests/bpf: Improve inner_map test coverage.
selftests/bpf: Convert map_ptr_kern test to use light skeleton.
selftests/bpf: Additional test for CO-RE in the kernel.
selftests/bpf: Revert CO-RE removal in test_ksyms_weak.
selftests/bpf: Add CO-RE relocations to verifier scale test.

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.
