Merge tag 'net-next-6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets. AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years. - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches / routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g. PPPoE). - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble. - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection. Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6 address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics, TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot of the link information available via rtnetlink. - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc. - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2% PPS. - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets. - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket. - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance. - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol driver. - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver. - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent. - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be used either for input or output packet processing. Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS(). This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users. - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations. - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments. Netfilter: - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM situations and avoid failures in the .commit step. BPF: - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs. - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for tetragon and bpftrace. - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw tracepoints. - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU state. - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86 instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64. - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible. - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking. - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto APIs. - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13. - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF program to have code sections where preemption is disabled. Driver API: - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by rule. - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line) config. - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues. - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping. Tests and tooling: - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them. - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test machine). Add a few such tests. - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink access. - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running them "on every commit". - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers. - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for: nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF info, TC u32 mark, TC police action. - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies. - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests. - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs. Drivers: - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers, and make more drivers report errors directly to the application rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen). - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Broadcom (bnxt): - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them - support XDP metadata - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library - use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF - add PFCP filter support - add Ethernet filter support - use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops - support 5 layer Tx scheduler topology - nVidia/Mellanox: - 800G link modes and 100G SerDes speeds - per-queue IRQ coalescing configuration - Marvell Octeon: - support offloading TC packet mark action - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual: - stop lying about skb->truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it messes up TCP memory calculations - Google cloud vNIC: - support changing ring size via ethtool - support ring reset using the queue control API - VirtIO net: - expose flow hash from RSS to XDP - per-queue statistics - add selftests - Synopsys (stmmac): - support controllers which require an RX clock signal from the MII bus to perform their hardware initialization - TI: - icssg_prueth: support ICSSG-based Ethernet on AM65x SR1.0 devices - icssg_prueth: add SW TX / RX Coalescing based on hrtimers - cpsw: minimal XDP support - Renesas (ravb): - support describing the MDIO bus - Realtek (r8169): - add support for RTL8168M - Microchip Sparx5: - matchall and flower actions mirred and redirect - Ethernet switches: - nVidia/Mellanox: - improve events processing performance - Marvell: - add support for MV88E6250 family internal PHYs - Microchip: - add DCB and DSCP mapping support for KSZ switches - vsc73xx: convert to PHYLINK - Realtek: - rtl8226b/rtl8221b: add C45 instances and SerDes switching - Many driver changes related to PHYLIB and PHYLINK deprecated API cleanup - Ethernet PHYs: - Add a new driver for Airoha EN8811H 2.5 Gigabit PHY. - micrel: lan8814: add support for PPS out and external timestamp trigger - WiFi: - Disable Wireless Extensions (WEXT) in all Wi-Fi 7 devices drivers.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
- Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
- specified show information only about given programs,
- otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be shown.
-
- Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
- zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
-
- Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
- programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
- and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
- shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
- them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
- program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
- performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
-
- Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
- processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
- programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
- information as well.
-
- **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] [**visual**] }]
- Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
- default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
- output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
- controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
-
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
- **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
-
- If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
- written to *FILE*.
-
- If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
- built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
- CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
-
- If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] }]
- Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
-
- If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
- otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
- *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
-
- **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
-
- If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
- Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
-
- Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** { **idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME* } *MAP*] [{ **offload_dev** | **xdpmeta_dev** } *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*] [**autoattach**]
- Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
- **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
- *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
- from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
- **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
- inferred from section names.
- By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
- object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
- of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
- time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
- to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
- allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
- use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
- If **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded
- onto given networking device (offload).
- If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program will become
- device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access
- to XDP metadata.
- Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
- maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
-
- If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached
- before pin. In that case, only the link (representing the
- program attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as
- such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog show -f**,
- only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
- when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary
- information from the object file, in particular, it's not
- supported for all program types. If a program does not
- support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
- for that program instead.
-
- Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- attached to current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- detached from the current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog tracelog**
- Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
- Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
- trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
- This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
- streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
- perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
-
- **bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
- Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
- for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
- context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
- monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
- test run are printed out to the console.
-
- Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
- If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
- input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
- **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
- input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
- input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
- data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
- written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
- output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
- output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
- passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
- context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
- **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
- output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
- should be more than enough for most cases.
-
- Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
- consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
- context printed to files correspond to the last of those
- runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
- average over all runs performed by the command.
-
- Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
- not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
- arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
-
- **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
- Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
- seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
- If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
- **UINT_MAX** seconds.
-
- **bpftool prog help**
- Print short help message.

+ bpftool will automatically emit this information as well.
+
+bpftool prog dump xlated *PROG* [{ file *FILE* | [opcodes] [linum] [visual] }]
+ Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By default, eBPF
+ will be disassembled and printed to standard output in human-readable
+ format. In this case, **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes should be printed
+ as well.
+
+ In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several programs which
+ will all be dumped. However, if **file** or **visual** is specified,
+ *PROG* must match a single program.
+
+ If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be written to
+ *FILE*.
+
+ If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be built instead,
+ and eBPF instructions will be presented with CFG in DOT format, on standard
+ output.
+
+ If the programs have line_info available, the source line will be
+ displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line number and line
+ column will also be displayed.
+
+bpftool prog dump jited *PROG* [{ file *FILE* | [opcodes] [linum] }]
+ Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
+
+ If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file, otherwise it will
+ be disassembled and printed to stdout. *PROG* must match a single program
+ when **file** is specified.
+
+ **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
+
+ If the prog has line_info available, the source line will be displayed. If
+ **linum** is specified, the filename, line number and line column will also
+ be displayed.
+
+bpftool prog pin *PROG* *FILE*
+ Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not contain a dot
+ character ('.'), which is reserved for future extensions of *bpffs*.
+
+bpftool prog { load | loadall } *OBJ* *PATH* [type *TYPE*] [map { idx *IDX* | name *NAME* } *MAP*] [{ offload_dev | xdpmeta_dev } *NAME*] [pinmaps *MAP_DIR*] [autoattach]
+ Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*. **bpftool prog
+ load** pins only the first program from the *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog
+ loadall** pins all programs from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory. **type**
+ is optional, if not specified program type will be inferred from section
+ names. By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
+ object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse of existing
+ maps. It can be specified multiple times, each time for a different map.
+ *IDX* refers to index of the map to be replaced in the ELF file counting
+ from 0, while *NAME* allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the
+ map to use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file. If
+ **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto given
+ networking device (offload). If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program
+ will become device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access to XDP
+ metadata. Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all maps
+ under *MAP_DIR* directory.
+
+ If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached before pin. In that
+ case, only the link (representing the program attached to its hook) is
+ pinned, not the program as such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog
+ show -f**, only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
+ when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary information from the
+ object file, in particular, it's not supported for all program types. If a
+ program does not support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
+ for that program instead.
+
+ Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not contain a dot
+ character ('.'), which is reserved for future extensions of *bpffs*.
+
+bpftool prog attach *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
+ Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most
+ *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* parameter, with the exception of
+ *flow_dissector* which is attached to current networking name space.
+
+bpftool prog detach *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
+ Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most
+ *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* parameter, with the exception of
+ *flow_dissector* which is detached from the current networking name space.
+
+bpftool prog tracelog
+ Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout). Hit <Ctrl+C> to
+ stop printing. BPF programs can write to this trace pipe at runtime with
+ the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper. This should be used only for debugging
+ purposes. For streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
+ perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
+
+bpftool prog run *PROG* data_in *FILE* [data_out *FILE* [data_size_out *L*]] [ctx_in *FILE* [ctx_out *FILE* [ctx_size_out *M*]]] [repeat *N*]
+ Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure for BPF,
+ meaning that the program works on the data and context provided by the
+ user, and not on actual packets or monitored functions etc. Return value
+ and duration for the test run are printed out to the console.
+
+ Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**. If this *FILE*
+ is "**-**", input data is read from standard input. Input context, if any,
+ is read from *FILE* passed with **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to
+ read from standard input, but only if standard input is not already in use
+ for input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output data is
+ written to that file. Similarly, output context is written to the *FILE*
+ passed with **ctx_out**. For both output flows, "**-**" can be used to
+ print to the standard output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
+ passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and context are
+ discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and **ctx_size_out** are used to pass
+ the size (in bytes) for the output buffers to the kernel, although the
+ default of 32 kB should be more than enough for most cases.
+
+ Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of consecutive runs to
+ perform. Note that output data and context printed to files correspond to
+ the last of those runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is
+ an average over all runs performed by the command.
+
+ Not all program types support test run. Among those which do, not all of
+ them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out** arguments. bpftool does not
+ perform checks on program types.
+
+bpftool prog profile *PROG* [duration *DURATION*] *METRICs*
+ Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION* seconds or until
+ user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional. If *DURATION* is not specified,
+ the profiling will run up to **UINT_MAX** seconds.
+
+bpftool prog help
+ Print short help message.
OPTIONS
=======
- .. include:: common_options.rst
-
- -f, --bpffs
- When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
- programs.
-
- -m, --mapcompat
- Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
-
- -n, --nomount
- Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
- (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
-
- -L, --use-loader
- Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
- the generation of such programs. When this option is in
- use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
- file into the kernel, but does not pin them (therefore, the
- *PATH* must not be provided).
-
- When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option,
- additional debug messages are generated, and the execution
- of the loader program will use the **bpf_trace_printk**\ ()
- helper to log each step of loading BTF, creating the maps,
- and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog** as
- a way to dump those messages).
