For probing program and map types, bpftool loops on type values and uses
the relevant type name in prog_type_name[] or map_type_name[]. To ensure
the name exists, we exit from the loop if we go over the size of the
array.
However, this is not enough in the case where the arrays have "holes" in
them, program or map types for which they have no name, but not at the
end of the list. This is currently the case for BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM, not
known to bpftool and which name is a null string. When probing for
features, bpftool attempts to strlen() that name and segfaults.
Let's fix it by skipping probes for "unknown" program and map types,
with an informational message giving the numeral value in that case.

commit 547ce4cfb34c ("switch cmsghdr_from_user_compat_to_kern() to
copy_from_user()") missed one of the places where ucmlen should've been
replaced with cmsg.cmsg_len, now that we are fetching the entire struct
rather than doing it field-by-field.
As the result, compat sendmsg() with several different-sized cmsg
attached started to fail with EINVAL. Trivial to fix, fortunately.

part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.

====================
sfc: driver for EF100 family NICs, part 1
EF100 is a new NIC architecture under development at Xilinx, based
partly on existing Solarflare technology. As many of the hardware
interfaces resemble EF10, support is implemented within the 'sfc'
driver, which previous patch series "commonised" for this purpose.
In order to maintain bisectability while splitting into patches of a
reasonable size, I had to do a certain amount of back-and-forth with
stubs for things that the common code may try to call, mainly because
we can't do them until we've set up MCDI, but we can't set up MCDI
without probing the event queues, at which point a lot of the common
machinery becomes reachable from event handlers.
Consequently, this first series doesn't get as far as actually sending
and receiving packets. I have a second series ready to follow it
which implements the datapath (and a few other things like ethtool).
Changes from v4:
* Fix build on CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n by using plain prototypes instead
of INDIRECT_CALLABLE_DECLARE.
Changes from v3:
* combine both drivers (sfc_ef100 and sfc) into a single module, to
make non-modular builds work. Patch #4 now adds a few indirections
to support this; the ones in the RX and TX path use indirect-call-
wrappers to minimise the performance impact.
Changes from v2:
* remove MODULE_VERSION.
* call efx_destroy_reset_workqueue() from ef100_exit_module().
* correct uint32_ts to u32s. While I was at it, I fixed a bunch of
other style issues in the function-control-window code.
All in patch #4.
Changes from v1:
* kernel test robot spotted a link error when sfc_ef100 was built
without mdio. It turns out the thing we were trying to link to
was a bogus thing to do on anything but Falcon, so new patch #1
removes it from this driver.
* fix undeclared symbols in patch #4 by shuffling around prototypes
and #includes and adding 'static' where appropriate.
* fix uninitialised variable 'rc2' in patch #7.

An MDIO-based n-way restart does not make sense for any of the NICs
supported by this driver, nor for the coming EF100.
Unlike on Falcon (which was already split off into a separate driver),
the PHY on all of Siena, EF10 and EF100 is managed by MC firmware.
While Siena can talk to the PHY over MDIO, doing so for anything other
than debugging purposes (mdio_mii_ioctl) is likely to confuse the
firmware.
(According to the SFC firmware team, this support was originally added
to the Siena driver early in the development of that product, before
it was decided to have firmware manage the PHY.)

Instead of calling fsnotify() twice, once with parent inode and once
with child inode, if event should be sent to parent inode, send it
with both parent and child inodes marks in object type iterator and call
the backend handle_event() callback only once.
The parent inode is assigned to the standard "inode" iterator type and
the child inode is assigned to the special "child" iterator type.
In that case, the bit FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD will be set in the event mask,
the dir argument to handle_event will be the parent inode, the file_name
argument to handle_event is non NULL and refers to the name of the child
and the child inode can be accessed with fsnotify_data_inode().
This will allow fanotify to make decisions based on child or parent's
ignored mask. For example, when a parent is interested in a specific
event on its children, but a specific child wishes to ignore this event,
the event will not be reported. This is not what happens with current
code, but according to man page, it is the expected behavior.

The fanotify_fh struct has an inline buffer of size 12 which is enough
to store the most common local filesystem file handles (e.g. ext4, xfs).
For file handles that do not fit in the inline buffer (e.g. btrfs), an
external buffer is allocated to store the file handle.
When allocating a variable size fanotify_name_event, there is no point
in allocating also an external fh buffer when file handle does not fit
in the inline buffer.
Check required size for encoding fh, preallocate an event buffer
sufficient to contain both file handle and name and store the name after
the file handle.
At this time, when not reporting name in event, we still allocate
the fixed size fanotify_fid_event and an external buffer for large
file handles, but fanotify_alloc_name_event() has already been prepared
to accept a NULL file_name.

An fanotify event name is always recorded relative to a dir fh.
Encapsulate the name_len member of fanotify_name_event in a new struct
fanotify_info, which describes the parceling of the variable size
buffer of an fanotify_name_event.
The dir_fh member of fanotify_name_event is renamed to _dir_fh and is not
accessed directly, but via the fanotify_info_dir_fh() accessor.
Although the dir_fh len information is already available in struct
fanotify_fh, we store it also in dif_fh_totlen member of fanotify_info,
including the size of fanotify_fh header, so we know the offset of the
name in the buffer without looking inside the dir_fh.
We also add a file_fh_totlen member to allow packing another file handle
in the variable size buffer after the dir_fh and before the name.
We are going to use that space to store the child fid.

The object type iterator is used to collect all the marks of
a specific group that have interest in an event.
It is used by fanotify to get a single handle_event callback
when an event has a match to either of inode/sb/mount marks
of the group.
The nature of fsnotify events is that they are associated with
at most one sb at most one mount and at most one inode.
When a parent and child are both watching, two events are sent
to backend, one associated to parent inode and one associated
to the child inode.
This results in duplicate events in fanotify, which usually
get merged before user reads them, but this is sub-optimal.
It would be better if the same event is sent to backend with
an object type iterator that has both the child inode and its
parent, and let the backend decide if the event should be reported
once (fanotify) or twice (inotify).

Up to now, fanotify allowed to set the FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag on
sb/mount marks and non-directory inode mask, but the flag was ignored.
Mask out the flag if it is provided by user on sb/mount/non-dir marks
and define it as an implicit flag that cannot be removed by user.
This flag is going to be used internally to request for events with
parent and name info.
