selftests/bpf: Reject graph kptr use after RCU unlockgrafted
Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a graph-node local kptr in an
explicit RCU read-side critical section, then passes its node to
bpf_rbtree_remove() after the section ends.
Before the verifier fix, the stale NON_OWN_REF flag makes the node look like
a live borrowed reference and the program is accepted. After the fix, the
pointer is demoted without NON_OWN_REF and the graph kfunc argument is
rejected.
Also exercise a graph kptr loaded while a spin lock provides implicit RCU
protection. The pointer must be invalidated when the lock is released, which
guards the required ordering between non-owning-reference invalidation and
RCU demotion.
Update the existing fault-protected load test state description. The
post-unlock pointer no longer carries NON_OWN_REF, but remains readable
because the load is rewritten to use BPF_PROBE_MEM.

Since it's also a licensed trademark, +some vendors use another name (such as "Two-Wire Interface", TWI) for +the same bus. I2C only needs two signals (SCL for clock, SDA for data), +conserving board real estate and minimizing signal quality issues. Most +I2C devices use seven bit addresses, and bus speeds of up to 400 kHz; +there's a high speed extension (3.4 MHz) that's not yet found wide use. +I2C is a multi-master bus; open drain signaling is used to arbitrate +between masters, as well as to handshake and to synchronize clocks from +slower clients. + +The Linux I2C programming interfaces support the master side of bus +interactions and the slave side. The programming interface is +structured around two kinds of driver, and two kinds of device. An I2C +"Adapter Driver" abstracts the controller hardware; it binds to a +physical device (perhaps a PCI device or platform_device) and exposes a +:c:type:`struct i2c_adapter <i2c_adapter>` representing each +I2C bus segment it manages. On each I2C bus segment will be I2C devices +represented by a :c:type:`struct i2c_client <i2c_client>`. +Those devices will be bound to a :c:type:`struct i2c_driver +<i2c_driver>`, which should follow the standard Linux driver model. There +are functions to perform various I2C protocol operations; at this writing +all such functions are usable only from task context. + +The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a sibling protocol. Most SMBus +systems are also I2C conformant. The electrical constraints are tighter +for SMBus, and it standardizes particular protocol messages and idioms. +Controllers that support I2C can also support most SMBus operations, but +SMBus controllers don't support all the protocol options that an I2C +controller will. There are functions to perform various SMBus protocol +operations, either using I2C primitives or by issuing SMBus commands to +i2c_adapter devices which don't support those I2C operations. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/i2c.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-boardinfo.c + :functions: i2c_register_board_info + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c + :export: |
