Add a couple of test cases, for example, probing for xadd on a spilled
pointer to packet and map_value_adj register, various other map_value_adj
tests including the unaligned load/store, and trying out pointer arithmetic
on map_value_adj register itself. For the unaligned load/store, we need
to figure out whether the architecture has efficient unaligned access and
need to mark affected tests accordingly.

Recent merge of 'linux-kselftest-4.11-rc1' tree broke bpf test build.
None of the tests were building and test_verifier.c had tons of compiler errors.
Fix it and add #ifdef CAP_IS_SUPPORTED to support old versions of libcap.
Tested on centos 6.8 and 7

<title>give up on gcc ilog2() constant optimizations</title>
<updated>2017-03-02T20:17:22Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=474c90156c8dcc2fa815e6716cc9394d7930cb9c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:474c90156c8dcc2fa815e6716cc9394d7930cb9c</id>
<content type='text'>
gcc-7 has an "optimization" pass that completely screws up, and
generates the code expansion for the (impossible) case of calling
ilog2() with a zero constant, even when the code gcc compiles does not
actually have a zero constant.

And we try to generate a compile-time error for anybody doing ilog2() on
a constant where that doesn't make sense (be it zero or negative).  So
now gcc7 will fail the build due to our sanity checking, because it
created that constant-zero case that didn't actually exist in the source
code.

There's a whole long discussion on the kernel mailing about how to work
around this gcc bug.  The gcc people themselevs have discussed their
"feature" in

   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72785

but it's all water under the bridge, because while it looked at one
point like it would be solved by the time gcc7 was released, that was
not to be.

So now we have to deal with this compiler braindamage.

And the only simple approach seems to be to just delete the code that
tries to warn about bad uses of ilog2().

So now "ilog2()" will just return 0 not just for the value 1, but for
any non-positive value too.

It's not like I can recall anybody having ever actually tried to use
this function on any invalid value, but maybe the sanity check just
meant that such code never made it out in public.

Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
  IDR &amp; IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
  including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
  efficient, an IDR &amp; IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
  (and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
  improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.

  The IDR &amp; IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
  for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
  pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
  did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
  it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
  same way twice"

Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
 "The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.

  Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
  and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
  the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
  users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
  lines waiting for 4.12)

  It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
  will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:

   - Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)

   - Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
     (Alexander Shishkin)

   - cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - ... plus misc fixes and updates.

  On the tooling side the main changes were:

   - Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
     CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):

   - Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
     the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
     for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
     changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
     uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
     Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
     (Andi Kleen)

   - Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
     function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
     "function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
     effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
     hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)

   - Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
     and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
     breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)

   - Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).

     Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
     receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
     triggers:

           perf record -a --switch-output=signal

     is equivalent to what we had before:

           perf record -a --switch-output

     While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
     into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
     kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
     size of the perf mmap ring buffer):

           perf record -a --switch-output=2G

     will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
     of samples, right when generating the output.

     For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
     limited perf.data output files:

          perf record -a --switch-output=1m

     (Jiri Olsa)

   - Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
     the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
     for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for
     details"
