This patch series builds upon the discussion in
"[PATCH bpf-next v4 0/4] bpf: Improve error reporting for freplace attachment failure" [1].
This patch series introduces support for *common attributes* in the BPF
syscall, providing a unified mechanism for passing shared metadata across
all BPF commands.
The initial set of common attributes includes:
1. 'log_buf': User-provided buffer for storing log output.
2. 'log_size': Size of the provided log buffer.
3. 'log_level': Verbosity level for logging.
4. 'log_true_size': The size of log reported by kernel.
With this extension, the BPF syscall will be able to return meaningful
error messages (e.g., failures of creating map), improving debuggability
and user experience.
Changes:
RFC v3 -> v4:
* Drop RFC.
* Address comments from Andrii:
* Add parentheses in 'sys_bpf_ext()'.
* Avoid creating new fd in 'probe_sys_bpf_ext()'.
* Add a new struct to wrap log fields in libbpf.
* Address comments from Alexei:
* Do not skip writing to user space when log_true_size is zero.
* Do not use 'bool' arguments.
* Drop the adding WARN_ON_ONCE()'s.
RFC v2 -> RFC v3:
* Rename probe_sys_bpf_extended to probe_sys_bpf_ext.
* Refactor reporting 'log_true_size' for prog_load.
* Refactor reporting 'btf_log_true_size' for btf_load.
* Add warnings for internal bugs in map_create.
* Check log_true_size in test cases.
* Address comment from Alexei:
* Change kvzalloc/kvfree to kzalloc/kfree.
* Address comments from Andrii:
* Move BPF_COMMON_ATTRS to 'enum bpf_cmd' alongside brief comment.
* Add bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero() for extra checks.
* Rename sys_bpf_extended to sys_bpf_ext.
* Rename sys_bpf_fd_extended to sys_bpf_ext_fd.
* Probe the new feature using NULL and -EFAULT.
* Move probe_sys_bpf_ext to libbpf_internal.h and drop LIBBPF_API.
* Return -EUSERS when log attrs are conflict between bpf_attr and
bpf_common_attr.
* Avoid touching bpf_vlog_init().
* Update the reason messages in map_create.
* Finalize the log using __cleanup().
* Report log size to users.
* Change type of log_buf from '__u64' to 'const char *' and cast type
using ptr_to_u64() in bpf_map_create().
* Do not return -EOPNOTSUPP when kernel doesn't support this feature
in bpf_map_create().
* Add log_level support for map creation for consistency.
* Address comment from Eduard:
* Use common_attrs->log_level instead of BPF_LOG_FIXED.
RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
* Fix build error reported by test bot.
* Address comments from Alexei:
* Drop new uapi for freplace.
* Add common attributes support for prog_load and btf_load.
* Add common attributes support for map_create.

The upcoming RISC-V Ssdtso specification introduces a bit in the senvcfg
CSR to switch the memory consistency model of user mode at run-time from
RVWMO to TSO. The active consistency model can therefore be switched on a
per-hart base and managed by the kernel on a per-process base.
This patchset implements basic Ssdtso support and adds a prctl API on top
so that user-space processes can switch to a stronger memory consistency
model (than the kernel was written for) at run-time.
The patchset also comes with a short documentation of the prctl API.
This series is based on the third draft of the Ssdtso specification
which can be found here:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-ssdtso/releases/tag/v1.0-draft3
Note, that the Ssdtso specification is in development state
(i.e., not frozen or even ratified) which is also the reason
why this series is marked as RFC.
This series saw the following changes since v1:
* Reordered/restructured patches
* Fixed build issues
* Addressed typos
* Removed ability to switch TSO->WMO
* Moved the state from per-thread to per-process
* Reschedule all CPUs after switching
* Some cleanups in the documentation
* Adding compatibility with Ztso (spec change in draft 3)
This patchset can also be found in this GitHub branch:

A QEMU implementation of DTSO can be found in this GitHub branch:
