2023-04-20net/handshake: Add a kernel API for requesting a TLSv1.3 handshakeChuck Lever1-1/+3
To enable kernel consumers of TLS to request a TLS handshake, add support to net/handshake/ to request a handshake upcall. This patch also acts as a template for adding handshake upcall support for other kernel transport layer security providers.

2023-04-20net/handshake: Create a NETLINK service for handling handshake requestsChuck Lever1-0/+122
When a kernel consumer needs a transport layer security session, it first needs a handshake to negotiate and establish a session. This negotiation can be done in user space via one of the several existing library implementations, or it can be done in the kernel. No in-kernel handshake implementations yet exist. In their absence, we add a netlink service that can: a. Notify a user space daemon that a handshake is needed. b. Once notified, the daemon calls the kernel back via this netlink service to get the handshake parameters, including an open socket on which to establish the session. c. Once the handshake is complete, the daemon reports the session status and other information via a second netlink operation. This operation marks that it is safe for the kernel to use the open socket and the security session established there. The notification service uses a multicast group. Each handshake mechanism (eg, tlshd) adopts its own group number so that the handshake services are completely independent of one another. The kernel can then tell via netlink_has_listeners() whether a handshake service is active and prepared to handle a handshake request. A new netlink operation, ACCEPT, acts like accept(2) in that it instantiates a file descriptor in the user space daemon's fd table. If this operation is successful, the reply carries the fd number, which can be treated as an open and ready file descriptor. While user space is performing the handshake, the kernel keeps its muddy paws off the open socket. A second new netlink operation, DONE, indicates that the user space daemon is finished with the socket and it is safe for the kernel to use again. The operation also indicates whether a session was established successfully. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2023-03-17ynl: broaden the license even moreJakub Kicinski6-6/+6
I relicensed Netlink spec code to GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause but we still put a slightly different license on the uAPI header than the rest of the code. Use the Linux-syscall-note on all the specs and all generated code. It's moot for kernel code, but should not hurt. This way the licenses match everywhere.

2023-03-08ynl: re-license uniformly under GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-ClauseJakub Kicinski6-3/+9
I was intending to make all the Netlink Spec code BSD-3-Clause to ease the adoption but it appears that: - I fumbled the uAPI and used "GPL WITH uAPI note" there - it gives people pause as they expect GPL in the kernel As suggested by Chuck re-license under dual. This gives us benefit of full BSD freedom while fulfilling the broad "kernel is under GPL" expectations.

Add a Netlink spec-compatible family for netdevs. This is a very simple implementation without much thought going into it. It allows us to reap all the benefits of Netlink specs, one can use the generic client to issue the commands: $ ./cli.py --spec netdev.yaml --dump dev_get [{'ifindex': 1, 'xdp-features': set()}, {'ifindex': 2, 'xdp-features': {'basic', 'ndo-xmit', 'redirect'}}, {'ifindex': 3, 'xdp-features': {'rx-sg'}}] the generic python library does not have flags-by-name support, yet, but we also don't have to carry strings in the messages, as user space can get the names from the spec.

Ethtool is one of the most actively developed families. With the changes to the CLI it should be possible to use the YNL based code for easy prototyping and development. Add a partial family definition. I've tested the string set and rings. I don't have any MAC Merge implementation to test with, but I added the definition for it, anyway, because it's last.

2023-02-01netlink: specs: finish up operation enum-modelsJakub Kicinski3-9/+10
I had a (bright?) idea of introducing the concept of enum-models to account for all the weird ways families enumerate their messages. I've never finished it because generating C code for each of them is pretty daunting. But for languages which can use ID values directly the support is simple enough, so clean this up a bit. "unified" model is what I recommend going forward. "directional" model is what ethtool uses. "notify-split" is used by the proposed DPLL code, but we can just make them use "unified", it hasn't been merged :) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Add schemas for Netlink spec files.
