Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextgrafted
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - nVidia BlueField-3 support (control traffic driver) - Ethernet support for imx93 SoCs - Motorcomm yt8531 gigabit Ethernet PHY - onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY (with support for PLCA) - Microchip LAN8841 PHY (incl. cable diagnostics and PTP) - Amlogic gxl MDIO mux - WiFi: - RealTek RTL8188EU (rtl8xxxu) - Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices (ath12k) - CAN: - Renesas R-Car V4H Drivers: - Bluetooth: - Set Per Platform Antenna Gain (PPAG) for Intel controllers. - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (1G, igc): - support TSN / Qbv / packet scheduling features of i226 model - Intel (100G, ice): - use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY - multi-buffer XDP support - extend support for GPIO pins to E823 devices - nVidia/Mellanox: - update the shared buffer configuration on PFC commands - implement PTP adjphase function for HW offset control - TC support for Geneve and GRE with VF tunnel offload - more efficient crypto key management method - multi-port eswitch support - Netronome/Corigine: - add DCB IEEE support - support IPsec offloading for NFP3800 - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - support XDP_REDIRECT for XDP non-linear buffers - improve reconfig, avoid link flap and waiting for idle - support MAC Merge layer - Other NICs: - sfc/ef100: add basic devlink support for ef100 - ionic: rx_push mode operation (writing descriptors via MMIO) - bnxt: use the auxiliary bus abstraction for RDMA - r8169: disable ASPM and reset bus in case of tx timeout - cpsw: support QSGMII mode for J721e CPSW9G - cpts: support pulse-per-second output - ngbe: add an mdio bus driver - usbnet: optimize usbnet_bh() by avoiding unnecessary queuing - r8152: handle devices with FW with NCM support - amd-xgbe: support 10Mbps, 2.5GbE speeds and rx-adaptation - virtio-net: support multi buffer XDP - virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff - tsnep: XDP support - Ethernet high-speed switches: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlxsw): - add support for latency TLV (in FW control messages) - Microchip (sparx5): - separate explicit and implicit traffic forwarding rules, make the implicit rules always active - add support for egress DSCP rewrite - IS0 VCAP support (Ingress Classification) - IS2 VCAP filters (protos, L3 addrs, L4 ports, flags, ToS etc.) - ES2 VCAP support (Egress Access Control) - support for Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Q, 8.6.5.1) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - add MAB (port auth) offload support - enable PTP receive for mv88e6390 - NXP (ocelot): - support MAC Merge layer - support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys - Microchip: - lan9303: convert to PHYLINK - lan966x: support TC flower filter statistics - lan937x: PTP support for KSZ9563/KSZ8563 and LAN937x - lan937x: support Credit Based Shaper configuration - ksz9477: support Energy Efficient Ethernet - other: - qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API, use bulk operations - rswitch: Improve TX timestamp accuracy - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - EHT (Wi-Fi 7) rate reporting - STEP equalizer support: transfer some STEP (connection to radio on platforms with integrated wifi) related parameters from the BIOS to the firmware. - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - IPQ5018 support - Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role support - channel 177 support - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - per-PHY LED support - mt7996: EHT (Wi-Fi 7) support - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) reset support - switch to using page pool allocator - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - support new version of Bluetooth co-existance - Mobile: - rmnet: support TX aggregation" * tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1872 commits) page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage net: ethtool: fix __ethtool_dev_mm_supported() implementation ethtool: pse-pd: Fix double word in comments xsk: add linux/vmalloc.h to xsk.c sefltests: netdevsim: wait for devlink instance after netns removal selftest: fib_tests: Always cleanup before exit net/mlx5e: Align IPsec ASO result memory to be as required by hardware net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance net/mlx5e: Rename CHAIN_TO_REG to MAPPED_OBJ_TO_REG net/mlx5: Refactor tc miss handling to a single function net/mlx5: Kconfig: Make tc offload depend on tc skb extension net/sched: flower: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie sfc: fix builds without CONFIG_RTC_LIB sfc: clean up some inconsistent indentings net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning net: lan966x: Fix possible deadlock inside PTP net/ulp: Remove redundant ->clone() test in inet_clone_ulp(). ...

+=========================================================
+NVIDIA Tegra SoC Uncore Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+=========================================================
+
+The NVIDIA Tegra SoC includes various system PMUs to measure key performance
+metrics like memory bandwidth, latency, and utilization:
+
+* Scalable Coherency Fabric (SCF)
+* NVLink-C2C0
+* NVLink-C2C1
+* CNVLink
+* PCIE
+
+PMU Driver
+----------
+
+The PMUs in this document are based on ARM CoreSight PMU Architecture as
+described in document: ARM IHI 0091. Since this is a standard architecture, the
+PMUs are managed by a common driver "arm-cs-arch-pmu". This driver describes
+the available events and configuration of each PMU in sysfs. Please see the
+sections below to get the sysfs path of each PMU. Like other uncore PMU drivers,
+the driver provides "cpumask" sysfs attribute to show the CPU id used to handle
+the PMU event. There is also "associated_cpus" sysfs attribute, which contains a
+list of CPUs associated with the PMU instance.
+
+.. _SCF_PMU_Section:
+
+SCF PMU
+-------
+
+The SCF PMU monitors system level cache events, CPU traffic, and
+strongly-ordered (SO) PCIE write traffic to local/remote memory. Please see
+:ref:`NVIDIA_Uncore_PMU_Traffic_Coverage_Section` for more info about the PMU
+traffic coverage.
+
+The events and configuration options of this PMU device are described in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_scf_pmu_<socket-id>.
+
+Example usage:
+
+* Count event id 0x0 in socket 0::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_scf_pmu_0/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 in socket 1::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_scf_pmu_1/event=0x0/
+
+NVLink-C2C0 PMU
+--------------------
+
+The NVLink-C2C0 PMU monitors incoming traffic from a GPU/CPU connected with
+NVLink-C2C (Chip-2-Chip) interconnect. The type of traffic captured by this PMU
+varies dependent on the chip configuration:
+
+* NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip: Hopper GPU is connected with Grace SoC.
+
+ In this config, the PMU captures GPU ATS translated or EGM traffic from the GPU.
+
+* NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip: two Grace CPU SoCs are connected.
+
+ In this config, the PMU captures read and relaxed ordered (RO) writes from
+ PCIE device of the remote SoC.
+
+Please see :ref:`NVIDIA_Uncore_PMU_Traffic_Coverage_Section` for more info about
+the PMU traffic coverage.
+
+The events and configuration options of this PMU device are described in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_nvlink_c2c0_pmu_<socket-id>.
+
+Example usage:
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU/CPU connected with socket 0::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c0_pmu_0/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU/CPU connected with socket 1::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c0_pmu_1/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU/CPU connected with socket 2::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c0_pmu_2/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU/CPU connected with socket 3::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c0_pmu_3/event=0x0/
+
+NVLink-C2C1 PMU
+-------------------
+
+The NVLink-C2C1 PMU monitors incoming traffic from a GPU connected with
+NVLink-C2C (Chip-2-Chip) interconnect. This PMU captures untranslated GPU
+traffic, in contrast with NvLink-C2C0 PMU that captures ATS translated traffic.
+Please see :ref:`NVIDIA_Uncore_PMU_Traffic_Coverage_Section` for more info about
+the PMU traffic coverage.
+
+The events and configuration options of this PMU device are described in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_nvlink_c2c1_pmu_<socket-id>.
+
+Example usage:
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU connected with socket 0::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c1_pmu_0/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU connected with socket 1::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c1_pmu_1/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU connected with socket 2::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c1_pmu_2/event=0x0/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from the GPU connected with socket 3::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_nvlink_c2c1_pmu_3/event=0x0/
+
+CNVLink PMU
+---------------
+
+The CNVLink PMU monitors traffic from GPU and PCIE device on remote sockets
+to local memory. For PCIE traffic, this PMU captures read and relaxed ordered
+(RO) write traffic. Please see :ref:`NVIDIA_Uncore_PMU_Traffic_Coverage_Section`
+for more info about the PMU traffic coverage.
+
+The events and configuration options of this PMU device are described in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_<socket-id>.
+
+Each SoC socket can be connected to one or more sockets via CNVLink. The user can
+use "rem_socket" bitmap parameter to select the remote socket(s) to monitor.
+Each bit represents the socket number, e.g. "rem_socket=0xE" corresponds to
+socket 1 to 3.
+/sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_<socket-id>/format/rem_socket
+shows the valid bits that can be set in the "rem_socket" parameter.
+
+The PMU can not distinguish the remote traffic initiator, therefore it does not
+provide filter to select the traffic source to monitor. It reports combined
+traffic from remote GPU and PCIE devices.
+
+Example usage:
+
+* Count event id 0x0 for the traffic from remote socket 1, 2, and 3 to socket 0::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_0/event=0x0,rem_socket=0xE/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 for the traffic from remote socket 0, 2, and 3 to socket 1::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_1/event=0x0,rem_socket=0xD/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 for the traffic from remote socket 0, 1, and 3 to socket 2::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_2/event=0x0,rem_socket=0xB/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 for the traffic from remote socket 0, 1, and 2 to socket 3::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_cnvlink_pmu_3/event=0x0,rem_socket=0x7/
+
+
+PCIE PMU
+------------
+
+The PCIE PMU monitors all read/write traffic from PCIE root ports to
+local/remote memory. Please see :ref:`NVIDIA_Uncore_PMU_Traffic_Coverage_Section`
+for more info about the PMU traffic coverage.
+
+The events and configuration options of this PMU device are described in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_pcie_pmu_<socket-id>.
+
+Each SoC socket can support multiple root ports. The user can use
+"root_port" bitmap parameter to select the port(s) to monitor, i.e.
+"root_port=0xF" corresponds to root port 0 to 3.
+/sys/bus/event_sources/devices/nvidia_pcie_pmu_<socket-id>/format/root_port
+shows the valid bits that can be set in the "root_port" parameter.
+
+Example usage:
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from root port 0 and 1 of socket 0::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_pcie_pmu_0/event=0x0,root_port=0x3/
+
+* Count event id 0x0 from root port 0 and 1 of socket 1::
+
+ perf stat -a -e nvidia_pcie_pmu_1/event=0x0,root_port=0x3/
