Two minor conflicts:
1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while
moving another local variable and removing it's
initial assignment.
2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes.
One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another
changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from
the port node rather than the switch node.

drgn tool bpf_inspect.py was merged to drgn repo in [2]. Document it
in kernel tree to make BPF developers aware that the tool exists and
can help with getting BPF state unavailable via UAPI.
For now it's just one tool but the doc is written in a way that allows
to cover more tools in the future if needed.
Please refer to the doc itself for more details.
The patch was tested by `make htmldocs` and sanity-checking that
resulting html looks good.

Add documentation for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL, including general
info, attach type, context, return code, helpers, example and usage
considerations.
A separate file prog_cgroup_sysctl.rst is added to Documentation/bpf/.
In the future more program types can be documented in their own
prog_<name>.rst files.
Another way to place program type specific documentation would be to
group program types somehow (e.g. cgroup.rst for all cgroup-bpf
programs), but it may not scale well since some program types may belong
to different groups, e.g. BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB can be documented
together with either cgroup-bpf programs or programs that access skb.
The new file is added to the index and verified by `make htmldocs` /
sanity-check by lynx.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two
optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning,
ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined
gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs
under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei.
2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables
for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows
for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility
to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only
rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and
libbpf refactoring from Joe.
3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the
kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF.
Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which
results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is
typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii.
4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from
helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey.
5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header
so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan.
6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that
users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into
the test program, from Stanislav.
7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up
various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong.
8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca.
9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant.
10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP
program, from Magnus.
11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in
BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel

This adds the BTF specification and UAPI bits for supporting BTF Var
and DataSec kinds. This is following LLVM upstream commit ac4082b77e07
("[BPF] Add BTF Var and DataSec Support") which has been merged recently.
Var itself is for describing a global variable and DataSec to describe
ELF sections e.g. data/bss/rodata sections that hold one or multiple
global variables.

Section 2.2.1 BTF_KIND_INT a bullet list was collapsed due to
text reflow in commit 9ab5305dbe ("docs/btf: reflow text to
fill up to 78 characters").
This patch correct the mistake. Also adjust next bullet list,
which is used for comparison, to get rendered the same way.

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-08-07
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add cgroup local storage for BPF programs, which provides a fast
accessible memory for storing various per-cgroup data like number
of transmitted packets, etc, from Roman.
2) Support bpf_get_socket_cookie() BPF helper in several more program
types that have a full socket available, from Andrey.
3) Significantly improve the performance of perf events which are
reported from BPF offload. Also convert a couple of BPF AF_XDP
samples overto use libbpf, both from Jakub.
4) seg6local LWT provides the End.DT6 action, which allows to
decapsulate an outer IPv6 header containing a Segment Routing Header.
Adds this action now to the seg6local BPF interface, from Mathieu.
5) Do not mark dst register as unbounded in MOV64 instruction when
both src and dst register are the same, from Arthur.
6) Define u_smp_rmb() and u_smp_wmb() to their respective barrier
instructions on arm64 for the AF_XDP sample code, from Brian.
7) Convert the tcp_client.py and tcp_server.py BPF selftest scripts
over from Python 2 to Python 3, from Jeremy.
8) Enable BTF build flags to the BPF sample code Makefile, from Taeung.
9) Remove an unnecessary rcu_read_lock() in run_lwt_bpf(), from Taehee.
10) Several improvements to the README.rst from the BPF documentation
to make it more consistent with RST format, from Tobin.
11) Replace all occurrences of strerror() by calls to strerror_r()
in libbpf and fix a FORTIFY_SOURCE build error along with it,
from Thomas.
12) Fix a bug in bpftool's get_btf() function to correctly propagate
an error via PTR_ERR(), from Yue.

The majority of files in the kernel documentation index use
capitalisation for all words, especially the shorter ones. BPF docs
better fit in with the rest of the documentation if the heading is all
capitalised.
