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.

Introduction +=============== + + This is a framebuffer driver for various Intel 810/815 compatible + graphics devices. These include: + + - Intel 810 + - Intel 810E + - Intel 810-DC100 + - Intel 815 Internal graphics only, 100Mhz FSB + - Intel 815 Internal graphics only + - Intel 815 Internal graphics and AGP + +B. Features +============ + + - Choice of using Discrete Video Timings, VESA Generalized Timing + Formula, or a framebuffer specific database to set the video mode + + - Supports a variable range of horizontal and vertical resolution and + vertical refresh rates if the VESA Generalized Timing Formula is + enabled. + + - Supports color depths of 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits per pixel + + - Supports pseudocolor, directcolor, or truecolor visuals + + - Full and optimized hardware acceleration at 8, 16 and 24 bpp + + - Robust video state save and restore + + - MTRR support + + - Utilizes user-entered monitor specifications to automatically + calculate required video mode parameters. + + - Can concurrently run with xfree86 running with native i810 drivers + + - Hardware Cursor Support + + - Supports EDID probing either by DDC/I2C or through the BIOS + +C. List of available options +============================= + + a. "video=i810fb" + enables the i810 driver + + Recommendation: required + + b. "xres:<value>" + select horizontal resolution in pixels. (This parameter will be + ignored if 'mode_option' is specified. See 'o' below). + + Recommendation: user preference + (default = 640) + + c. "yres:<value>" + select vertical resolution in scanlines. If Discrete Video Timings + is enabled, this will be ignored and computed as 3*xres/4. (This + parameter will be ignored if 'mode_option' is specified. See 'o' + below) + + Recommendation: user preference + (default = 480) + + d. "vyres:<value>" + select virtual vertical resolution in scanlines. If (0) or none + is specified, this will be computed against maximum available memory. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = 480) + + e. "vram:<value>" + select amount of system RAM in MB to allocate for the video memory + + Recommendation: 1 - 4 MB. + (default = 4) + + f. "bpp:<value>" + select desired pixel depth + + Recommendation: 8 + (default = 8) + + g. "hsync1/hsync2:<value>" + select the minimum and maximum Horizontal Sync Frequency of the + monitor in kHz. If using a fixed frequency monitor, hsync1 must + be equal to hsync2. If EDID probing is successful, these will be + ignored and values will be taken from the EDID block. + + Recommendation: check monitor manual for correct values + (default = 29/30) + + h. "vsync1/vsync2:<value>" + select the minimum and maximum Vertical Sync Frequency of the monitor + in Hz. You can also use this option to lock your monitor's refresh + rate. If EDID probing is successful, these will be ignored and values + will be taken from the EDID block. + + Recommendation: check monitor manual for correct values + (default = 60/60) + + IMPORTANT: If you need to clamp your timings, try to give some + leeway for computational errors (over/underflows). Example: if + using vsync1/vsync2 = 60/60, make sure hsync1/hsync2 has at least + a 1 unit difference, and vice versa. + + i. "voffset:<value>" + select at what offset in MB of the logical memory to allocate the + framebuffer memory. The intent is to avoid the memory blocks + used by standard graphics applications (XFree86). The default + offset (16 MB for a 64 MB aperture, 8 MB for a 32 MB aperture) will + avoid XFree86's usage and allows up to 7 MB/15 MB of framebuffer + memory. Depending on your usage, adjust the value up or down + (0 for maximum usage, 31/63 MB for the least amount). Note, an + arbitrary setting may conflict with XFree86. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = 8 or 16 MB) + + j. "accel" + enable text acceleration. This can be enabled/reenabled anytime + by using 'fbset -accel true/false'. + + Recommendation: enable + (default = not set) + + k. "mtrr" + enable MTRR. This allows data transfers to the framebuffer memory + to occur in bursts which can significantly increase performance. + Not very helpful with the i810/i815 because of 'shared memory'. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = not set) + + l. "extvga" + if specified, secondary/external VGA output will always be enabled. + Useful if the BIOS turns off the VGA port when no monitor is attached. + The external VGA monitor can then be attached without rebooting. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = not set) + + m. "sync" + Forces the hardware engine to do a "sync" or wait for the hardware + to finish before starting another instruction. This will produce a + more stable setup, but will be slower. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = not set) + + n. "dcolor" + Use directcolor visual instead of truecolor for pixel depths greater + than 8 bpp. Useful for color tuning, such as gamma control. + + Recommendation: do not set + (default = not set) + + o. <xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>] + The driver will now accept specification of boot mode option. If this + is specified, the options 'xres' and 'yres' will be ignored. See + Documentation/fb/modedb.rst for usage. + +D. Kernel booting +================= + +Separate each option/option-pair by commas (,) and the option from its value +with a colon (:) as in the following:: + + video=i810fb:option1,option2:value2 + +Sample Usage +------------ + +In /etc/lilo.conf, add the line:: + + append="video=i810fb:vram:2,xres:1024,yres:768,bpp:8,hsync1:30,hsync2:55, \ + vsync1:50,vsync2:85,accel,mtrr" + +This will initialize the framebuffer to 1024x768 at 8bpp. The framebuffer +will use 2 MB of System RAM. MTRR support will be enabled. The refresh rate +will be computed based on the hsync1/hsync2 and vsync1/vsync2 values. + +IMPORTANT: + You must include hsync1, hsync2, vsync1 and vsync2 to enable video modes + better than 640x480 at 60Hz. HOWEVER, if your chipset/display combination + supports I2C and has an EDID block, you can safely exclude hsync1, hsync2, + vsync1 and vsync2 parameters. These parameters will be taken from the EDID + block. + +E. Module options +================== + +The module parameters are essentially similar to the kernel +parameters. The main difference is that you need to include a Boolean value +(1 for TRUE, and 0 for FALSE) for those options which don't need a value. + +Example, to enable MTRR, include "mtrr=1". + +Sample Usage +------------ + +Using the same setup as described above, load the module like this:: + + modprobe i810fb vram=2 xres=1024 bpp=8 hsync1=30 hsync2=55 vsync1=50 \ + vsync2=85 accel=1 mtrr=1 + +Or just add the following to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/:: + + options i810fb vram=2 xres=1024 bpp=16 hsync1=30 hsync2=55 vsync1=50 \ + vsync2=85 accel=1 mtrr=1 + +and just do a:: + + modprobe i810fb + + +F. Setup +========= + + a. Do your usual method of configuring the kernel + + make menuconfig/xconfig/config + + b. Under "Code maturity level options" enable "Prompt for development + and/or incomplete code/drivers". + + c. Enable agpgart support for the Intel 810/815 on-board graphics. + This is required. The option is under "Character Devices". + + d. Under "Graphics Support", select "Intel 810/815" either statically + or as a module. Choose "use VESA Generalized Timing Formula" if + you need to maximize the capability of your display. To be on the + safe side, you can leave this unselected. + + e. If you want support for DDC/I2C probing (Plug and Play Displays), + set 'Enable DDC Support' to 'y'. To make this option appear, set + 'use VESA Generalized Timing Formula' to 'y'. + + f. If you want a framebuffer console, enable it under "Console + Drivers". + + g. Compile your kernel. + + h. Load the driver as described in sections D and E. + + i. Try the DirectFB (http://www.directfb.org) + the i810 gfxdriver + patch to see the chipset in action (or inaction :-). + +G. Acknowledgment: +=================== + + 1. Geert Uytterhoeven - his excellent howto and the virtual + framebuffer driver code made this possible. + + 2. Jeff Hartmann for his agpgart code. + + 3. The X developers. Insights were provided just by reading the + XFree86 source code. + + 4. Intel(c). For this value-oriented chipset driver and for + providing documentation. + + 5. Matt Sottek. His inputs and ideas helped in making some + optimizations possible. + +H.
