For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them
become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling
to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce
significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's
benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry):
54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k]
bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry
10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable
10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037
8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur
4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall
2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64
1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv
1.32% [kernel] [k] fput
1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user
0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp
So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain
better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in
kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in
migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline.
Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1],
so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in
include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with
"(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned".
The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h
by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c.
Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and
migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The
calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable().
The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't
access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail
in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr():
typeof((ptr) + 0)
So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with
arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly.
The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export
it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and
export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use
them for the modules.

Currently, signed load instructions into arena memory are unsupported.
The compiler is free to generate these, and on GCC-14 we see a
corresponding error when it happens. The hurdle in supporting them is
deciding which unused opcode to use to mark them for the JIT's own
consumption. After much thinking, it appears 0xc0 / BPF_NOSPEC can be
combined with load instructions to identify signed arena loads. Use
this to recognize and JIT them appropriately, and remove the verifier
side limitation on the program if the JIT supports them.

This patch adds necessary plumbing in verifier, syscall and maps to
support handling new kfunc bpf_task_work_schedule and kernel structure
bpf_task_work. The idea is similar to how we already handle bpf_wq and
bpf_timer.
verifier changes validate calls to bpf_task_work_schedule to make sure
it is safe and expected invariants hold.
btf part is required to detect bpf_task_work structure inside map value
and store its offset, which will be used in the next patch to calculate
key and value addresses.
arraymap and hashtab changes are needed to handle freeing of the
bpf_task_work: run code needed to deinitialize it, for example cancel
task_work callback if possible.
The use of bpf_task_work and proper implementation for kfuncs are
introduced in the next patch.

The verifier currently enforces a zero return value for all async
callbacks—a constraint originally introduced for bpf_timer. That
restriction is too narrow for other async use cases.
Relax the rule by allowing non-zero return codes from async callbacks in
general, while preserving the zero-return requirement for bpf_timer to
maintain its existing semantics.

Converting bpf_insn_successors() to use lookup table makes it ~1.5
times faster.
Also remove unnecessary conditionals:
- `idx + 1 < prog->len` is unnecessary because after check_cfg() all
jump targets are guaranteed to be within a program;
- `i == 0 || succ[0] != dst` is unnecessary because any client of
bpf_insn_successors() can handle duplicate edges:
- compute_live_registers()
- compute_scc()
Moving bpf_insn_successors() to liveness.c allows its inlining in
liveness.c:__update_stack_liveness().
Such inlining speeds up __update_stack_liveness() by ~40%.
bpf_insn_successors() is used in both verifier.c and liveness.c.
perf shows such move does not negatively impact users in verifier.c,
as these are executed only once before main varification pass.
Unlike __update_stack_liveness() which can be triggered multiple
times.

Allocate analysis instance:
- Add bpf_stack_liveness_{init,free}() calls to bpf_check().
Notify the instance about any stack reads and writes:
- Add bpf_mark_stack_write() call at every location where
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN is recorded for a stack slot.
- Add bpf_mark_stack_read() call at every location mark_reg_read() is
called.
- Both bpf_mark_stack_{read,write}() rely on
env->liveness->cur_instance callchain being in sync with
env->cur_state. It is possible to update env->liveness->cur_instance
every time a mark read/write is called, but that costs a hash table
lookup and is noticeable in the performance profile. Hence, manually
reset env->liveness->cur_instance whenever the verifier changes
env->cur_state call stack:
- call bpf_reset_live_stack_callchain() when the verifier enters a
subprogram;
- call bpf_update_live_stack() when the verifier exits a subprogram
(it implies the reset).
Make sure bpf_update_live_stack() is called for a callchain before
issuing liveness queries. And make sure that bpf_update_live_stack()
is called for any callee callchain first:
- Add bpf_update_live_stack() call at every location that processes
BPF_EXIT:
- exit from a subprogram;
- before pop_stack() call.
This makes sure that bpf_update_live_stack() is called for callee
callchains before caller callchains.
Make sure must_write marks are set to zero for instructions that
do not always access the stack:
- Wrap do_check_insn() with bpf_reset_stack_write_marks() /
bpf_commit_stack_write_marks() calls.
Any calls to bpf_mark_stack_write() are accumulated between this
pair of calls. If no bpf_mark_stack_write() calls were made
it means that the instruction does not access stack (at-least
on the current verification path) and it is important to record
this fact.
Finally, use bpf_live_stack_query_init() / bpf_stack_slot_alive()
to query stack liveness info.
The manual tracking of the correct order for callee/caller
bpf_update_live_stack() calls is a bit convoluted and may warrant some
automation in future revisions.

The next patch would require doing postorder traversal of individual
subprograms. Facilitate this by moving env->cfg.insn_postorder
computation from check_cfg() to a separate pass, as check_cfg()
descends into called subprograms (and it needs to, because of
merge_callee_effects() logic).
env->cfg.insn_postorder is used only by compute_live_registers(),
this function does not track cross subprogram dependencies,
thus the change does not affect it's operation.

Currently, KF_RCU_PROTECTED only applies to iterator APIs and that too
in a convoluted fashion: the presence of this flag on the kfunc is used
to set MEM_RCU in iterator type, and the lack of RCU protection results
in an error only later, once next() or destroy() methods are invoked on
the iterator. While there is no bug, this is certainly a bit
unintuitive, and makes the enforcement of the flag iterator specific.
In the interest of making this flag useful for other upcoming kfuncs,
e.g. scx_bpf_cpu_curr() [0][1], add enforcement for invoking the kfunc
in an RCU critical section in general.
This would also mean that iterator APIs using KF_RCU_PROTECTED will
error out earlier, instead of throwing an error for lack of RCU CS
protection when next() or destroy() methods are invoked.
In addition to this, if the kfuncs tagged KF_RCU_PROTECTED return a
pointer value, ensure that this pointer value is only usable in an RCU
critical section. There might be edge cases where the return value is
special and doesn't need to imply MEM_RCU semantics, but in general, the
assumption should hold for the majority of kfuncs, and we can revisit
things if necessary later.

Syzbot generated a program that triggers a verifier_bug() call in
maybe_exit_scc(). maybe_exit_scc() assumes that, when called for a
state with insn_idx in some SCC, there should be an instance of struct
bpf_scc_visit allocated for that SCC. Turns out the assumption does
not hold for speculative execution paths. See example in the next
patch.
maybe_scc_exit() is called from update_branch_counts() for states that
reach branch count of zero, meaning that path exploration for a
particular path is finished. Path exploration can finish in one of
three ways:
a. Verification error is found. In this case, update_branch_counts()
is called only for non-speculative paths.
b. Top level BPF_EXIT is reached. Such instructions are never a part of
an SCC, so compute_scc_callchain() in maybe_scc_exit() will return
false, and maybe_scc_exit() will return early.
c. A checkpoint is reached and matched. Checkpoints are created by
is_state_visited(), which calls maybe_enter_scc(), which allocates
bpf_scc_visit instances for checkpoints within SCCs.
Hence, for non-speculative symbolic execution paths, the assumption
still holds: if maybe_scc_exit() is called for a state within an SCC,
bpf_scc_visit instance must exist.
This patch removes the verifier_bug() call for speculative paths.

Function bpf_patch_insn_data() has the following structure:
static struct bpf_prog *bpf_patch_insn_data(... env ...)
{
struct bpf_prog *new_prog;
struct bpf_insn_aux_data *new_data = NULL;
if (len > 1) {
new_data = vrealloc(...); // <--------- (1)
if (!new_data)
return NULL;
env->insn_aux_data = new_data; // <---- (2)
}
new_prog = bpf_patch_insn_single(env->prog, off, patch, len);
if (IS_ERR(new_prog)) {
...
vfree(new_data); // <----------------- (3)
return NULL;
}
... happy path ...
}
In case if bpf_patch_insn_single() returns an error the `new_data`
allocated at (1) will be freed at (3). However, at (2) this pointer
is stored in `env->insn_aux_data`. Which is freed unconditionally
by verifier.c:bpf_check() on both happy and error paths.
Thus, leading to double-free.
Fix this by removing vfree() call at (3), ownership over `new_data` is
already passed to `env->insn_aux_data` at this point.

In the following toy program (reg states minimized for readability), R0
and R1 always have different values at instruction 6. This is obvious
when reading the program but cannot be guessed from ranges alone as
they overlap (R0 in [0; 0xc0000000], R1 in [1024; 0xc0000400]).
0: call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7 ; R0_w=scalar()
1: w0 = w0 ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
2: r0 >>= 30 ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0x3))
3: r0 <<= 30 ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xc0000000))
4: r1 = r0 ; R1_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xc0000000))
5: r1 += 1024 ; R1_w=scalar(var_off=(0x400; 0xc0000000))
6: if r1 != r0 goto pc+1
Looking at tnums however, we can deduce that R1 is always different from
R0 because their tnums don't agree on known bits. This patch uses this
logic to improve is_scalar_branch_taken in case of BPF_JEQ and BPF_JNE.
This change has a tiny impact on complexity, which was measured with
the Cilium complexity CI test. That test covers 72 programs with
various build and load time configurations for a total of 970 test
cases. For 80% of test cases, the patch has no impact. On the other
test cases, the patch decreases complexity by only 0.08% on average. In
the best case, the verifier needs to walk 3% less instructions and, in
the worst case, 1.5% more. Overall, the patch has a small positive
impact, especially for our largest programs.

Add a dynptr type, similar to skb dynptr, but for the skb metadata access.
The dynptr provides an alternative to __sk_buff->data_meta for accessing
the custom metadata area allocated using the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() helper.
More importantly, it abstracts away the fact where the storage for the
custom metadata lives, which opens up the way to persist the metadata by
relocating it as the skb travels through the network stack layers.
Writes to skb metadata invalidate any existing skb payload and metadata
slices. While this is more restrictive that needed at the moment, it leaves
the door open to reallocating the metadata on writes, and should be only a
minor inconvenience to the users.
Only the program types which can access __sk_buff->data_meta today are
allowed to create a dynptr for skb metadata at the moment. We need to
modify the network stack to persist the metadata across layers before
opening up access to other BPF hooks.
Once more BPF hooks gain access to skb_meta dynptr, we will also need to
add a read-only variant of the helper similar to
bpf_dynptr_from_skb_rdonly.
skb_meta dynptr ops are stubbed out and implemented by subsequent changes.

Avoid excessive vzalloc/vfree calls when patching instructions in
do_misc_fixups(). bpf_patch_insn_data() uses vzalloc to allocate new
memory for env->insn_aux_data for each patch as follows:
struct bpf_prog *bpf_patch_insn_data(env, ...)
{
...
new_data = vzalloc(... O(program size) ...);
...
adjust_insn_aux_data(env, new_data, ...);
...
}
void adjust_insn_aux_data(env, new_data, ...)
{
...
memcpy(new_data, env->insn_aux_data);
vfree(env->insn_aux_data);
env->insn_aux_data = new_data;
...
}
The vzalloc/vfree pair is hot in perf report collected for e.g.
pyperf180 test case. It can be replaced with a call to vrealloc in
order to reduce the number of actual memory allocations.
This is a stop-gap solution, as bpf_patch_insn_data is still hot in
the profile. More comprehansive solutions had been discussed before
e.g. as in [1].

Commit d7f0087381 ("bpf: try harder to deduce register bounds from
different numeric domains") added a second call to __reg_deduce_bounds
in reg_bounds_sync because a single call wasn't enough to converge to a
fixed point in terms of register bounds.
With patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from
this series, Eduard noticed that calling __reg_deduce_bounds twice isn't
enough anymore to converge. The first selftest added in "selftests/bpf:
Test cross-sign 64bits range refinement" highlights the need for a third
call to __reg_deduce_bounds. After instruction 7, reg_bounds_sync
performs the following bounds deduction:
reg_bounds_sync entry: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146)
__update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146)
__reg_deduce_bounds:
__reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg_deduce_bounds:
__reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
__reg_bound_offset: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff))
__update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff))
In particular, notice how:
1. In the first call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg32_deduce_bounds
learns new u32 bounds.
2. __reg64_deduce_bounds is unable to improve bounds at this point.
3. __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds derives new u64 bounds from the u32 bounds.
4. In the second call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg64_deduce_bounds
improves the smax and umin bounds thanks to patch "bpf: Improve
bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series.
5. Subsequent functions are unable to improve the ranges further (only
tnums). Yet, a better smin32 bound could be learned from the smin
bound.
__reg32_deduce_bounds is able to improve smin32 from smin, but for that
we need a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds.
As discussed in [1], there may be a better way to organize the deduction
rules to learn the same information with less calls to the same
functions. Such an optimization requires further analysis and is
orthogonal to the present patchset.

__reg64_deduce_bounds currently improves the s64 range using the u64
range and vice versa, but only if it doesn't cross the sign boundary.
This patch improves __reg64_deduce_bounds to cover the case where the
s64 range crosses the sign boundary but overlaps with the u64 range on
only one end. In that case, we can improve both ranges. Consider the
following example, with the s64 range crossing the sign boundary:
0 U64_MAX
| [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u64 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
|xxxxx s64 range xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxx|
0 S64_MAX S64_MIN -1
The u64 range overlaps only with positive portion of the s64 range. We
can thus derive the following new s64 and u64 ranges.
0 U64_MAX
| [xxxxxx u64 range xxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
| [xxxxxx s64 range xxxxx] |
0 S64_MAX S64_MIN -1
The same logic can probably apply to the s32/u32 ranges, but this patch
doesn't implement that change.
In addition to the selftests, the __reg64_deduce_bounds change was
also tested with Agni, the formal verification tool for the range
analysis [1].

During the bounds refinement, we improve the precision of various ranges
by looking at other ranges. Among others, we improve the following in
this order (other things happen between 1 and 2):
1. Improve u32 from s32 in __reg32_deduce_bounds.
2. Improve s/u64 from u32 in __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds.
3. Improve s/u64 from s32 in __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds.
In particular, if the s32 range forms a valid u32 range, we will use it
to improve the u32 range in __reg32_deduce_bounds. In
__reg_deduce_mixed_bounds, under the same condition, we will use the s32
range to improve the s/u64 ranges.
If at (1) we were able to learn from s32 to improve u32, we'll then be
able to use that in (2) to improve s/u64. Hence, as (3) happens under
the same precondition as (1), it won't improve s/u64 ranges further than
(1)+(2) did. Thus, we can get rid of (3).
In addition to the extensive suite of selftests for bounds refinement,
this patch was also tested with the Agni formal verification tool [1].
Additionally, Eduard mentioned:
The argument appears to be as follows:
Under precondition `(u32)reg->s32_min <= (u32)reg->s32_max`
__reg32_deduce_bounds produces:
reg->u32_min = max_t(u32, reg->s32_min, reg->u32_min);
reg->u32_max = min_t(u32, reg->s32_max, reg->u32_max);
And then first part of __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds assigns:
a. reg->umin umax= (reg->umin & ~0xffffffffULL) | max_t(u32, reg->s32_min, reg->u32_min);
b. reg->umax umin= (reg->umax & ~0xffffffffULL) | min_t(u32, reg->s32_max, reg->u32_max);
And then second part of __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds assigns:
c. reg->umin umax= (reg->umin & ~0xffffffffULL) | (u32)reg->s32_min;
d. reg->umax umin= (reg->umax & ~0xffffffffULL) | (u32)reg->s32_max;
But assignment (c) is a noop because:
max_t(u32, reg->s32_min, reg->u32_min) >= (u32)reg->s32_min
Hence RHS(a) >= RHS(c) and umin= does nothing.
Also assignment (d) is a noop because:
min_t(u32, reg->s32_max, reg->u32_max) <= (u32)reg->s32_max
Hence RHS(b) <= RHS(d) and umin= does nothing.
Plus the same reasoning for the part dealing with reg->s{min,max}_value:
e. reg->smin_value smax= (reg->smin_value & ~0xffffffffULL) | max_t(u32, reg->s32_min_value, reg->u32_min_value);
f. reg->smax_value smin= (reg->smax_value & ~0xffffffffULL) | min_t(u32, reg->s32_max_value, reg->u32_max_value);
vs
g. reg->smin_value smax= (reg->smin_value & ~0xffffffffULL) | (u32)reg->s32_min_value;
h. reg->smax_value smin= (reg->smax_value & ~0xffffffffULL) | (u32)reg->s32_max_value;
RHS(e) >= RHS(g) and RHS(f) <= RHS(h), hence smax=,smin= do nothing.
This appears to be correct.
Also, Shung-Hsi:
Beside going through the reasoning, I also played with CBMC a bit to
double check that as far as a single run of __reg_deduce_bounds() is
concerned (and that the register state matches certain handwavy
expectations), the change indeed still preserve the original behavior.

Syzbot reported a kernel warning due to a range invariant violation on
the following BPF program.
0: call bpf_get_netns_cookie
1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit>
2: if r0 & Oxffffffff goto <exit>
The issue is on the path where we fall through both jumps.
That path is unreachable at runtime: after insn 1, we know r0 != 0, but
with the sign extension on the jset, we would only fallthrough insn 2
if r0 == 0. Unfortunately, is_branch_taken() isn't currently able to
figure this out, so the verifier walks all branches. The verifier then
refines the register bounds using the second condition and we end
up with inconsistent bounds on this unreachable path:
1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit>
r0: u64=[0x1, 0xffffffffffffffff] var_off=(0, 0xffffffffffffffff)

Improving the range refinement for JSET to cover all cases is tricky. We
also don't expect many users to rely on JSET given LLVM doesn't generate
those instructions. So instead of improving the range refinement for
JSETs, Eduard suggested we forget the ranges whenever we're narrowing
tnums after a JSET. This patch implements that approach.

We must terminate the speculative analysis if the just-analyzed insn had
nospec_result set. Using cur_aux() here is wrong because insn_idx might
have been incremented by do_check_insn(). Therefore, introduce and use
insn_aux variable.
Also change cur_aux(env)->nospec in case do_check_insn() ever manages to
increment insn_idx but still fail.
Change the warning to check the insn class (which prevents it from
triggering for ldimm64, for which nospec_result would not be
problematic) and use verifier_bug_if().
In line with Eduard's suggestion, do not introduce prev_aux() because
that requires one to understand that after do_check_insn() call what was
current became previous. This would at-least require a comment.

Allow specifying __arg_untrusted for void */char */int */long *
parameters. Treat such parameters as
PTR_TO_MEM|MEM_RDONLY|PTR_UNTRUSTED of size zero.
Intended usage is as follows:
int memcmp(char *a __arg_untrusted, char *b __arg_untrusted, size_t n) {
bpf_for(i, 0, n) {
if (a[i] - b[i]) // load at any offset is allowed
return a[i] - b[i];
}
return 0;
}
Allocate register id for ARG_PTR_TO_MEM parameters only when
PTR_MAYBE_NULL is set. Register id for PTR_TO_MEM is used only to
propagate non-null status after conditionals.

Add support for PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED global function
parameters. Anything is allowed to pass to such parameters, as these
are read-only and probe read instructions would protect against
invalid memory access.

When processing a load from a PTR_TO_BTF_ID, the verifier calculates
the type of the loaded structure field based on the load offset.
For example, given the following types:
struct foo {
struct foo *a;
int *b;
} *p;
The verifier would calculate the type of `p->a` as a pointer to
`struct foo`. However, the type of `p->b` is currently calculated as a
SCALAR_VALUE.
This commit updates the logic for processing PTR_TO_BTF_ID to instead
calculate the type of p->b as PTR_TO_MEM|MEM_RDONLY|PTR_UNTRUSTED.
This change allows further dereferencing of such pointers (using probe
memory instructions).

Non-functional change:
mark_btf_ld_reg() expects 'reg_type' parameter to be either
SCALAR_VALUE or PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Next commit expands this set, so update
this function to fail if unexpected type is passed. Also update
callers to propagate the error.

Add a 'struct bpf_scc_callchain callchain_buf' field in bpf_verifier_env.
This way, the previous bpf_scc_callchain local variables can be
replaced by taking address of env->callchain_buf. This can reduce stack
usage and fix the following error:
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:19921:12: error: stack frame size (1368) exceeds limit (1280) in 'do_check'
