====================
Global subprogs in RCU/{preempt,irq}-disabled sections
Small change to allow non-sleepable global subprogs in
RCU, preempt-disabled, and irq-disabled sections. For
now, we don't lift the limitation for locks as it requires
more analysis, and will do this one resilient spin locks
land.
This surfaced a bug where sleepable global subprogs were
allowed in RCU read sections, that has been fixed. Tests
have been added to cover various cases.
Changelog:
----------
v2 -> v3
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250301030205.1221223-1-memxor@gmail.com
* Fix broken to_be_replaced argument in the selftest.
* Adjust selftest program type.
v1 -> v2
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250228162858.1073529-1-memxor@gmail.com
* Rename subprog_info[i].sleepable to might_sleep, which more
accurately reflects the nature of the bit. 'sleepable' means whether
a given context is allowed to, while might_sleep captures if it
does.
* Disallow extensions that might sleep to attach to targets that don't
sleep, since they'd be permitted to be called in atomic contexts. (Eduard)
* Add tests for mixing non-sleepable and sleepable global function
calls, and extensions attaching to non-sleepable global functions. (Eduard)
* Rename changes_pkt_data -> summarization

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
