Endpoints are normally deleted from the bandwidth list when they are
dropped, before the virt device is freed.
If xHC host is dying or being removed then the endpoints aren't dropped
cleanly due to functions returning early to avoid interacting with a
non-accessible host controller.
So check and delete endpoints that are still on the bandwidth list when
freeing the virt device.
Solves a list_del corruption kernel crash when unbinding xhci-pci,
caused by xhci_mem_cleanup() when it later tried to delete already freed
endpoints from the bandwidth list.
This only affects hosts that use software bandwidth checking, which
currenty is only the xHC in intel Panther Point PCH (Ivy Bridge)

For optimal power consumption of USB4 routers the XHCI PCIe endpoint
used for tunneling must be in D3. Historically this is accomplished
by a long list of PCIe IDs that correspond to these endpoints because
the xhci_hcd driver will not default to allowing runtime PM for all
devices.
As both AMD and Intel have released new products with new XHCI controllers
this list continues to grow. In reviewing the XHCI specification v1.2 on
page 607 there is already a requirement that the PCI power management
states D3hot and D3cold must be supported.
In the quirk list, use this to indicate that runtime PM should be allowed
on XHCI controllers. The following controllers are known to be xHC 1.2 and
dropped explicitly:
* AMD Yellow Carp
* Intel Alder Lake
* Intel Meteor Lake
* Intel Raptor Lake
[keep PCI ID for Alder Lake PCH for recently added quirk -Mathias]

Systems based on Alder Lake P see significant boot time delay if
boot firmware tries to control usb ports in unexpected link states.
This is seen with self-powered usb devices that survive in U3 link
suspended state over S5.
A more generic solution to power off ports at shutdown was attempted in
commit 83810f84ec ("xhci: turn off port power in shutdown")
but it caused regression.
Add host specific XHCI_RESET_TO_DEFAULT quirk which will reset host and
ports back to default state in shutdown.

Currently we allow to create kprobe multi link on function from kernel
module, but we don't take the module reference to ensure it's not
unloaded while we are tracing it.
The multi kprobe link is based on fprobe/ftrace layer which takes
different approach and releases ftrace hooks when module is unloaded
even if there's tracer registered on top of it.
Adding code that gathers all the related modules for the link and takes
their references before it's attached. All kernel module references are
released after link is unregistered.
Note that we do it the same way already for trampoline probes
(but for single address).

Quentin Monnet says:
====================
To disassemble instructions for JIT-ed programs, bpftool has relied on the
libbfd library. This has been problematic in the past: libbfd's interface
is not meant to be stable and has changed several times, hence the
detection of the two related features from the Makefile
(disassembler-four-args and disassembler-init-styled). When it comes to
shipping bpftool, this has also caused issues with several distribution
maintainers unwilling to support the feature (for example, Debian's page
for binutils-dev, libbfd's package, says: "Note that building Debian
packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed.").
This patchset adds support for LLVM as the primary library for
disassembling instructions for JIT-ed programs.
We keep libbfd as a fallback. One reason for this is that currently it
works well, we have all we need in terms of features detection in the
Makefile, so it provides a fallback for disassembling JIT-ed programs if
libbfd is installed but LLVM is not. The other reason is that libbfd
supports nfp instruction for Netronome's SmartNICs and can be used to
disassemble offloaded programs, something that LLVM cannot do (Niklas
confirmed that the feature is still in use). However, if libbfd's interface
breaks again in the future, we might reconsider keeping support for it.
v4:
- Rebase to address a conflict with commit 2c76238ead ("bpftool: Add
"bootstrap" feature to version output").
v3:
- Extend commit description (patch 6) with notes on llvm-dev and LLVM's
disassembler stability.
v2:
- Pass callback when creating the LLVM disassembler, so that the
branch targets are printed as addresses (instead of byte offsets).
- Add last commit to "support" other arch with LLVM, although we don't
know any supported triple yet.
- Use $(LLVM_CONFIG) instead of llvm-config in Makefile.
- Pass components to llvm-config --libs to limit the number of
libraries to pass on the command line, in Makefile.
- Rebase split of FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY in Makefile.

Similarly to "libbfd", add a "llvm" feature to the output of command
"bpftool version" to indicate that LLVM is used for disassembling JIT-ed
programs. This feature is mutually exclusive (from Makefile definitions)
with "libbfd".
