The main changes are: 1) Add opaque bpf_cookie to perf link which the program can read out again, to be used in libbpf-based USDT library, from Andrii Nakryiko. 2) Add bpf_task_pt_regs() helper to access userspace pt_regs, from Daniel Xu. 3) Add support for UNIX stream type sockets for BPF sockmap, from Jiang Wang. 4) Allow BPF TCP congestion control progs to call bpf_setsockopt() e.g. to switch to another congestion control algorithm during init, from Martin KaFai Lau. 5) Extend BPF iterator support for UNIX domain sockets, from Kuniyuki Iwashima. 6) Allow bpf_{set,get}sockopt() calls from setsockopt progs, from Prankur Gupta. 7) Add bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper for BPF_PROG_TYPE_{SOCK_OPS,CGROUP_SOCKOPT} progs, from Xu Liu and Stanislav Fomichev. 8) Support for __weak typed ksyms in libbpf, from Hao Luo. 9) Shrink struct cgroup_bpf by 504 bytes through refactoring, from Dave Marchevsky. 10) Fix a smatch complaint in verifier's narrow load handling, from Andrey Ignatov. 11) Fix BPF interpreter's tail call count limit, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Big batch of improvements to BPF selftests, from Magnus Karlsson, Li Zhijian, Yucong Sun, Yonghong Song, Ilya Leoshkevich, Jussi Maki, Ilya Leoshkevich, others. 13) Another big batch to revamp XDP samples in order to give them consistent look and feel, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi. * https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (116 commits) MAINTAINERS: Remove self from powerpc BPF JIT selftests/bpf: Fix potential unreleased lock samples: bpf: Fix uninitialized variable in xdp_redirect_cpu selftests/bpf: Reduce more flakyness in sockmap_listen bpf: Fix bpf-next builds without CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS bpf: selftests: Add dctcp fallback test bpf: selftests: Add connect_to_fd_opts to network_helpers bpf: selftests: Add sk_state to bpf_tcp_helpers.h bpf: tcp: Allow bpf-tcp-cc to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt selftests: xsk: Preface options with opt selftests: xsk: Make enums lower case selftests: xsk: Generate packets from specification selftests: xsk: Generate packet directly in umem selftests: xsk: Simplify cleanup of ifobjects selftests: xsk: Decrease sending speed selftests: xsk: Validate tx stats on tx thread selftests: xsk: Simplify packet validation in xsk tests selftests: xsk: Rename worker_* functions that are not thread entry points selftests: xsk: Disassociate umem size with packets sent selftests: xsk: Remove end-of-test packet ... ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210830225618.11634-1-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
