The function marvell_nfc_init_dma() allocates a DMA buffer without the
GFP_KERNEL modifier, that triggers this warning:
"marvell_nfc_init_dma() error: no modifiers for allocation."
Fix this by using (GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA) instead of only GFP_DMA as the
probe happens in non-interrupt context.

The BPF verifier conflict was some minor contextual issue.
The TUN conflict was less trivial. Cong Wang fixed a memory leak of
tfile->tx_array in 'net'. This is an skb_array. But meanwhile in
net-next tun changed tfile->tx_arry into tfile->tx_ring which is a
ptr_ring.

====================
This series adds various misc improvements to BPF: detection
of BPF helper definition misconfiguration for mem/size argument
pairs, csum_diff helper also for XDP, various test cases,
removal of the recently added pure_initcall(), restriction
of the jit sysctls to cap_sys_admin for initns, a minor size
improvement for x86 jit in alu ops, output of complexity limit
to verifier log and last but not least having the event output
more flexible with moving to const_size_or_zero type.

Similar rationale as in a60dd35d2e39 ("bpf: change bpf_perf_event_output
arg5 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO"), change the type to CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
such that we can better deal with optimized code. No changes needed in
bpf_event_output() as it can also deal with 0 size entirely (e.g. as only
wake-up signal with empty frame in perf RB, or packet dumps w/o meta data
as another such possibility).

Given BPF reaches far beyond just networking these days, it was
never intended to allow setting and in some cases reading those
knobs out of a user namespace root running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN,
thus tighten such access.
Also the bpf_jit_enable = 2 debugging mode should only be allowed
if kptr_restrict is not set since it otherwise can leak addresses
to the kernel log. Dump a note to the kernel log that this is for
debugging JITs only when enabled.

Having a pure_initcall() callback just to permanently enable BPF
JITs under CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is unnecessary and could leave
a small race window in future where JIT is still disabled on boot.
Since we know about the setting at compilation time anyway, just
initialize it properly there. Also consolidate all the individual
bpf_jit_enable variables into a single one and move them under one
location. Moreover, don't allow for setting unspecified garbage
values on them.

I've seen two patch proposals now for helper additions that used
ARG_PTR_TO_MEM or similar in reg_X but no corresponding ARG_CONST_SIZE
in reg_X+1. Verifier won't complain in such case, but it will omit
verifying the memory passed to the helper thus ending up badly.
Detect such buggy helper function signature and bail out during
verification rather than finding them through review.

The xdp_redirect_cpu sample have some "builtin" monitoring of the
tracepoints for xdp_cpumap_*, but it is practical to have an external
tool that can monitor these transpoint as an easy way to troubleshoot
an application using XDP + cpumap.
Specifically I need such external tool when working on Suricata and
XDP cpumap redirect. Extend the xdp_monitor tool sample with
monitoring of these xdp_cpumap_* tracepoints. Model the output format
like xdp_redirect_cpu.
Given I needed to handle per CPU decoding for cpumap, this patch also
add per CPU info on the existing monitor events. This resembles part
of the builtin monitoring output from sample xdp_rxq_info. Thus, also
covering part of that sample in an external monitoring tool.
Performance wise, the cpumap tracepoints uses bulking, which cause
them to have very little overhead. Thus, they are enabled by default.

My last bugfix added -Os on the command line, which unfortunately caused
a build regression on powerpc in some configurations.
I've done some more analysis of the original problem and found slightly
different workaround that avoids this regression and also results in
better performance on gcc-7.0: -fcode-hoisting is an optimization step
that got added in gcc-7 and that for all gcc-7 versions causes worse
performance.
This disables -fcode-hoisting on all compilers that understand the option.
For gcc-7.1 and 7.2 I found the same performance as my previous patch
(using -Os), in gcc-7.0 it was even better. On gcc-8 I could see no
change in performance from this patch. In theory, code hoisting should
not be able make things better for the AES cipher, so leaving it
disabled for gcc-8 only serves to simplify the Makefile change.

Current LPM_TRIE map type does not implement MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
command. This command is handy when users want to enumerate
keys. Otherwise, a different map which supports key
enumeration may be required to store the keys. If the
map data is sparse and all map data are to be deleted without
closing file descriptor, using MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY to find
all keys is much faster than enumerating all key space.
This patch implements MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command for LPM_TRIE map.
If user provided key pointer is NULL or the key does not have
an exact match in the trie, the first key will be returned.
Otherwise, the next key will be returned.
In this implemenation, key enumeration follows a postorder
traversal of internal trie. More specific keys
will be returned first than less specific ones, given
a sequence of MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY syscalls.

NFP is entirely programmable, including the PCI data interface.
Using a fixed control BAR layout certainly makes implementations
easier, but require careful considerations when space is allocated.
Once BAR area is allocated to one feature nothing else can use it.
Allocating space statically also requires it to be sized upfront,
which leads to either unnecessary limitation or wastage.
We currently have a 32bit capability word defined which tells drivers
which application FW features are supported. Most of the bits
are exhausted. The same bits are also reused for enabling specific
features. Bulk of capabilities don't have a need for an enable bit,
however, leading to confusion and wastage.
TLVs seems like a better fit for expressing capabilities of applications
running on programmable hardware.
This patch leaves the front of the BAR as is, and declares a TLV
capability start at offset 0x58. Most of the space up to 0x0d90
is already allocated, but the used space can be wrapped with RESERVED
TLVs. E.g.:
Address Type Length
0x0058 RESERVED 0xe00 /* Wrap basic structures */
0x0e5c FEATURE_A 0x004
0x0e64 FEATURE_B 0x004
