The BPF standardization effort is actively underway with the IETF. As
described in the BPF Working Group (WG) charter in [0], there are a
number of proposed documents, some informational and some proposed
standards, that will be drafted as part of the standardization effort.
[0]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/bpf/about/
Though the specific documents that will formally be standardized will
exist as Internet Drafts (I-D) and WG documents in the BPF WG
datatracker page, the source of truth from where those documents will be
generated will reside in the kernel documentation tree (originating in
the bpf-next tree).
Because these documents will be used to generate the I-D and WG
documents which will be standardized with the IETF, they are a bit
special as far as kernel-tree documentation goes:
- They will be dual licensed with LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause
- IETF I-D and WG documents (the documents which will actually be
standardized) will be auto-generated from these documents.
In order to keep things clearly organized in the BPF documentation tree,
and to make it abundantly clear where standards-related documentation
needs to go, we should move standards-relevant documents into a separate
standardization/ subdirectory.

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
"WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
got it to a reasonable point.
Core:
- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations
Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is
Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely
- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid
- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT
- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker
- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families
Protocols:
- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2]
- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy
- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags
- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative
- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
(MPTCP_FULL_INFO)
- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
record
- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
way to issuing ioctls over io_uring
- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address
- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch
- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable
- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
(ipconfig)
- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
(e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)
- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets
- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
printk level to debug
- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto
- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4
- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7
BPF:
- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
especially those using open-coded iterators
- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
output buffer *should* be, without writing anything
- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers
- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper
- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
maps as read-only)
- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo
- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
self-explanatory):
- Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
and bpf_dynptr_clone().
- bpf_task_under_cgroup()
- bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
- bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
Netfilter:
- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
presence of an entry in a map without using the value
- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds
- Allow updating size of a set
- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing
Driver API:
- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
"offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
(i.e. packets coming in and out)
- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules
- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
common helper routines
- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
associated with the PCS layer
- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
scheduler offload (taprio)

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"There are three areas of note:
A bunch of strlcpy()->strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).
The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.
The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
macro while we continue to add annotations.
As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
such annotations found via Coccinelle:
https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b
Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.
Summary:
- Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)
- Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)
- Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)
- Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)
- Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)
- Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)
- Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)
- Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family
- Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML
- Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()
- Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.
- Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally
- Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC
- Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
arrays
- Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY
- Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers
- Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- A SafeSetID patch to correct what appears to be a cut-n-paste typo in
the code causing a UID to be printed where a GID was desired.
This is coming via the LSM tree because we haven't been able to get a
response from the SafeSetID maintainer (Micah Morton) in several
months. Hopefully we are able to get in touch with Micah, but until
we do I'm going to pick them up in the LSM tree.
- A small fix to the reiserfs LSM xattr code.
We're continuing to work through some issues with the reiserfs code
as we try to fixup the LSM xattr handling, but in the process we're
uncovering some ugly problems in reiserfs and we may just end up
removing the LSM xattr support in reiserfs prior to reiserfs'
removal.
For better or worse, this shouldn't impact any of the reiserfs users,
as we discovered that LSM xattrs on reiserfs were completely broken,
meaning no one is currently using the combo of reiserfs and a file
labeling LSM.
- A tweak to how the cap_user_data_t struct/typedef is declared in the
header file to appease the Sparse gods.
- In the process of trying to sort out the SafeSetID lost-maintainer
problem I realized that I needed to update the labeled networking
entry to "Supported".
- Minor comment/documentation and spelling fixes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
"Documentation updates
Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
- Remove RCU_NONIDLE(). The new visibility of most of the idle loop
to RCU has obsoleted this API.
- Make the RCU_SOFTIRQ callback-invocation time limit also apply to
the rcuc kthreads that invoke callbacks for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
- Add a jiffies-based callback-invocation time limit to handle
long-running callbacks. (The local_clock() function is only invoked
once per 32 callbacks due to its high overhead.)
- Stop rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() from using never-onlined CPUs, which
fixes a bug that can occur on systems with non-contiguous CPU
numbering.
kvfree_rcu updates:
- Eliminate the single-argument variant of k[v]free_rcu() now that
all uses have been converted to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep().
- Add WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for k[v]free_rcu*() freeing callbacks too
soon. Yes, this is closing the barn door after the horse has
escaped, but Murphy says that there will be more horses.
Callback-offloading updates:
- Fix a number of bugs involving the shrinker and lazy callbacks.

Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update for SMP management:
- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
downtime of the VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
on the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
onlining procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
mechanism into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
which needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
would be justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix MAINTAINERS file to point to proper mailing list for rtla and rv
The mailing list pointed to linux-trace-devel instead of
linux-trace-kernel. The former is for the tracing libraries and the
latter is for anything in the Linux kernel tree. The wrong mailing
list was used because linux-trace-kernel did not exist when rtla and
rv were created.
- User events:
- Fix matching of dynamic events to their user events
When user writes to dynamic_events file, a lookup of the
registered dynamic events is made, but there were some cases that
a match could be incorrectly made.
- Add auto cleanup of user events
Have the user events automatically get removed when the last
reference (file descriptor) is closed. This was asked for to
prevent leaks of user events hanging around needing admins to
clean them up.
- Add persistent logic (but not let user space use it yet)
In some cases, having a persistent user event (one that does not
get cleaned up automatically) is useful. But there's still debates
about how to expose this to user space. The infrastructure is
added, but the API is not.

Per-VMA locking allows us to lock a struct vm_area_struct without
taking the process-wide mmap lock in read mode.
Consider a process workload where the mmap lock is taken constantly in
write mode. In this scenario, all zerocopy receives are periodically
blocked during that period of time - though in principle, the memory
ranges being used by TCP are not touched by the operations that need
the mmap write lock. This results in performance degradation.
Now consider another workload where the mmap lock is never taken in
write mode, but there are many TCP connections using receive zerocopy
that are concurrently receiving. These connections all take the mmap
lock in read mode, but this does induce a lot of contention and atomic
ops for this process-wide lock. This results in additional CPU
overhead caused by contending on the cache line for this lock.
However, with per-vma locking, both of these problems can be avoided.
As a test, I ran an RPC-style request/response workload with 4KB
payloads and receive zerocopy enabled, with 100 simultaneous TCP
connections. I measured perf cycles within the
find_tcp_vma/mmap_read_lock/mmap_read_unlock codepath, with and
without per-vma locking enabled.
When using process-wide mmap semaphore read locking, about 1% of
measured perf cycles were within this path. With per-VMA locking, this
value dropped to about 0.45%.

Some of MediaTek's Filogic SoCs come with built-in gigabit Ethernet
PHYs which require calibration data from the SoC's efuse.
Despite the similar design the driver doesn't share any code with the
existing mediatek-ge.c.
Add support for such PHYs by introducing a new driver with basic
support for MediaTek SoCs MT7981 and MT7988 built-in 1GE PHYs.
