pull-request: bpf 2024-07-25
We've added 14 non-merge commits during the last 8 day(s) which contain
a total of 19 files changed, 177 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Fix af_unix to disable MSG_OOB handling for sockets in BPF sockmap and
BPF sockhash. Also add test coverage for this case, from Michal Luczaj.
2) Fix a segmentation issue when downgrading gso_size in the BPF helper
bpf_skb_adjust_room(), from Fred Li.
3) Fix a compiler warning in resolve_btfids due to a missing type cast,
from Liwei Song.
4) Fix stack allocation for arm64 to align the stack pointer at a 16 byte
boundary in the fexit_sleep BPF selftest, from Puranjay Mohan.
5) Fix a xsk regression to require a flag when actuating tx_metadata_len,
from Stanislav Fomichev.
6) Fix function prototype BTF dumping in libbpf for prototypes that have
no input arguments, from Andrii Nakryiko.
7) Fix stacktrace symbol resolution in perf script for BPF programs
containing subprograms, from Hou Tao.
