      libbpf: Add LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE macro for scheduling API deprecations · 0b46b755
      Quentin Monnet authored
      Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
      the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
      when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
      
      As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
      (LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
      They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
      libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
      
      Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
      relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
      include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
      Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
      headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
      changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
      explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
      problems were detected.
      
      Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
      a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
      for now).
      
      Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
      btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
      btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
      starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

             - Display PIDs of user stacks
             - Added option to change color scheme
             - Default to blue/green color scheme to improve accessibility

        Fixes:
      
         - perf script dlfilter (API for filtering via dynamically loaded
           shared object introduced in v5.14) fixes and a 'perf test' entry

         - Fix output from pipe to file and vice-versa in 'perf
           record/report/script'.
      
         - Correct 'perf data -h' output.

           help with the multithreading effort.

      Enable '-Werror' by default for all kernel builds · 3fe617cc
      Linus Torvalds authored
      ... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable
      it when required.
      
      We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific
      over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them.  But while I
      fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced
      by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings.
      
      So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people
      to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular
      issues.
      
      Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it
      can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if
      that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation.
      
      Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new
      warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place.
      
      Knock wood.

      Fix this by reverting the accidental replacement of a comma by a

      Pull MAP_DENYWRITE removal from David Hildenbrand:
       "Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove
        VM_DENYWRITE.
      
        There are some (minor) user-visible changes:
      
         - We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy
           uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g. dlopen().
      
         - We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec
           completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often
           is).
      
         - We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
           sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
           file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
           denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
           sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.
      
        Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386,
        s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests
        (i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected"
