Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd &lt; 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file-&gt;file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file-&gt;file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &amp;data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

<title>bpf: account for current allocated stack depth in widen_imprecise_scalars()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b0c8e6d3d866b6a7f73877f71968dbffd27b7785</id>
<content type='text'>
The usage pattern for widen_imprecise_scalars() looks as follows:

    prev_st = find_prev_entry(env, ...);
    queued_st = push_stack(...);
    widen_imprecise_scalars(env, prev_st, queued_st);

Where prev_st is an ancestor of the queued_st in the explored states
tree. This ancestor is not guaranteed to have same allocated stack
depth as queued_st. E.g. in the following case:

    def main():
      for i in 1..2:
        foo(i)        // same callsite, differnt param

    def foo(i):
      if i == 1:
        use 128 bytes of stack
      iterator based loop

Here, for a second 'foo' call prev_st-&gt;allocated_stack is 128,
while queued_st-&gt;allocated_stack is much smaller.
widen_imprecise_scalars() needs to take this into account and avoid
accessing bpf_verifier_state-&gt;frame[*]-&gt;stack out of bounds.

<title>bpf: add _impl suffix for bpf_stream_vprintk() kfunc</title>

Rename bpf_stream_vprintk() to bpf_stream_vprintk_impl().

This makes bpf_stream_vprintk() follow the already established "_impl"
suffix-based naming convention for kfuncs with the bpf_prog_aux
argument provided by the verifier implicitly. This convention will be
taken advantage of with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature to
preserve backwards compatibility to BPF programs.

<title>ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatch</title>

<id>urn:sha1:56b3c85e153b84f27e6cff39623ba40a1ad299d3</id>
<content type='text'>
When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with
a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct()
twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it
will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister
the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot
attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:

  insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko
  bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}'
  ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...

Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits
errors.

Also, move the code that resets ops-&gt;func and ops-&gt;trampoline to the error
path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct()
in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().

<title>perf: Support deferred user unwind</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c69993ecdd4dfde2b7da08b022052a33b203da07</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for deferred userspace unwind to perf.

Where perf currently relies on in-place stack unwinding; from NMI
context and all that. This moves the userspace part of the unwind to
right before the return-to-userspace.

This has two distinct benefits, the biggest is that it moves the
unwind to a faultable context. It becomes possible to fault in debug
info (.eh_frame, SFrame etc.) that might not otherwise be readily
available. And secondly, it de-duplicates the user callchain where
multiple samples happen during the same kernel entry.

To facilitate this the perf interface is extended with a new record
type:

  PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED

and two new attribute flags:

  perf_event_attr::defer_callchain - to request the user unwind be deferred
  perf_event_attr::defer_output    - to request PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records

The existing PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE callchain section gets a new
context type:

  PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED

After which will come a single entry, denoting the 'cookie' of the
deferred callchain that should be attached here, matching the 'cookie'
field of the above mentioned PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED.

The 'defer_callchain' flag is expected on all events with
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN. The 'defer_output' flag is expect on the event
responsible for collecting side-band events (like mmap, comm etc.).
Setting 'defer_output' on multiple events will get you duplicated
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records.

Based on earlier patches by Josh and Steven.
