git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood test from previous fixes. - Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO. - Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure. - Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE(). BPF: - Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator. - Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF programs. - Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF). - Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one task/thread. - Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions. - Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently by integrating with the rstat framework. - Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported. - Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets). - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network related programs. - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags. - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open. - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark. Protocols: - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7). - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT. - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT. - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way. Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK. - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces. - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST packets. - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory and cache pressure). - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT. - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior. - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets. - Open vSwitch: - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces. - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace. - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm. - Remove DECnet support. Driver API: - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA switches, at runtime. - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support. - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules. - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side and link-side speeds. - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode. - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports. Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink. - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of the components for which version is reported by info_get(). - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice. - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - Microchip KSZ9896 6-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Renesas Ethernet AVB (EtherAVB-IF) Gen4 SoCs - Analog Devices ADIN1110 and ADIN2111 industrial single pair Ethernet (10BASE-T1L) MAC+PHY. - Rockchip RV1126 Gigabit Ethernet (a version of stmmac IP). - Ethernet SFPs / modules: - RollBall / Hilink / Turris 10G copper SFPs - HALNy GPON module - WiFi: - CYW43439 SDIO chipset (brcmfmac) - CYW89459 PCIe chipset (brcmfmac) - BCM4378 on Apple platforms (brcmfmac) Drivers: - CAN: - gs_usb: HW timestamp support - Ethernet PHYs: - lan8814: cable diagnostics - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (100G): - implement control of FCS/CRC stripping - port splitting via devlink - L2TPv3 filtering offload - nVidia/Mellanox: - tunnel offload for sub-functions - MACSec offload, w/ Extended packet number and replay window offload - significantly restructure, and optimize the AF_XDP support, align the behavior with other vendors - Huawei: - configuring DSCP map for traffic class selection - querying standard FEC statistics - querying SerDes lane number via ethtool - Marvell/Cavium: - egress priority flow control - MACSec offload - AMD/SolarFlare: - PTP over IPv6 and raw Ethernet - small / embedded: - ax88772: convert to phylink (to support SFP cages) - altera: tse: convert to phylink - ftgmac100: support fixed link - enetc: standard Ethtool counters - macb: ZynqMP SGMII dynamic configuration support - tsnep: support multi-queue and use page pool - lan743x: Rx IP & TCP checksum offload - igc: add xdp frags support to ndo_xdp_xmit - Ethernet high-speed switches: - Marvell (prestera): - support SPAN port features (traffic mirroring) - nexthop object offloading - Microchip (sparx5): - multicast forwarding offload - QoS queuing offload (tc-mqprio, tc-tbf, tc-ets) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - support RGMII cmode - NXP (felix): - standardized ethtool counters - Microchip (lan966x): - QoS queuing offload (tc-mqprio, tc-tbf, tc-cbs, tc-ets) - traffic policing and mirroring - link aggregation / bonding offload - QUSGMII PHY mode support - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - cold boot calibration support on WCN6750 - support to connect to a non-transmit MBSSID AP profile - enable remain-on-channel support on WCN6750 - Wake-on-WLAN support for WCN6750 - support to provide transmit power from firmware via nl80211 - support to get power save duration for each client - spectral scan support for 160 MHz - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - WiFi-to-Ethernet bridging offload for MT7986 chips - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - P2P support" * tag 'net-next-6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1864 commits) eth: pse: add missing static inlines once: rename _SLOW to _SLEEPABLE net: pse-pd: add regulator based PSE driver dt-bindings: net: pse-dt: add bindings for regulator based PoDL PSE controller ethtool: add interface to interact with Ethernet Power Equipment net: mdiobus: search for PSE nodes by parsing PHY nodes. net: mdiobus: fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy() rework error handling net: add framework to support Ethernet PSE and PDs devices dt-bindings: net: phy: add PoDL PSE property net: marvell: prestera: Propagate nh state from hw to kernel net: marvell: prestera: Add neighbour cache accounting net: marvell: prestera: add stub handler neighbour events net: marvell: prestera: Add heplers to interact with fib_notifier_info net: marvell: prestera: Add length macros for prestera_ip_addr net: marvell: prestera: add delayed wq and flush wq on deinit net: marvell: prestera: Add strict cleanup of fib arbiter net: marvell: prestera: Add cleanup of allocated fib_nodes net: marvell: prestera: Add router nexthops ABI eth: octeon: fix build after netif_napi_add() changes net/mlx5: E-Switch, Return EBUSY if can't get mode lock ...

2022-09-22bpf: Tweak definition of KF_TRUSTED_ARGSKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-8/+16
Instead of forcing all arguments to be referenced pointers with non-zero reg->ref_obj_id, tweak the definition of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS to mean that only PTR_TO_BTF_ID (and socket types translated to PTR_TO_BTF_ID) have that constraint, and require their offset to be set to 0. The rest of pointer types are also accomodated in this definition of trusted pointers, but with more relaxed rules regarding offsets. The inherent meaning of setting this flag is that all kfunc pointer arguments have a guranteed lifetime, and kernel object pointers (PTR_TO_BTF_ID, PTR_TO_CTX) are passed in their unmodified form (with offset 0). In general, this is not true for PTR_TO_BTF_ID as it can be obtained using pointer walks.

Use proper tables and RST markup to document the atomic instructions in a structured way. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220131183638.3934982-6-hch@lst.de
2022-02-03bpf, docs: Better document the extended instruction formatChristoph Hellwig1-7/+19
In addition to the normal 64-bit instruction encoding, eBPF also has a single instruction that uses a second 64-bit bits for a second immediate value. Instead of only documenting this format deep down in the document mention it in the instruction encoding section.
