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.

We refer to them as +"IPs" (Intellectual Property blocks). Each IP encapsulates certain +functionality. IPs are versioned and can also be mixed and matched. +E.g., you might have two different ASICs that both have System DMA (SDMA) 5.x IPs. +The driver is arranged by IPs. There are driver components to handle +the initialization and operation of each IP. There are also a bunch +of smaller IPs that don't really need much if any driver interaction. +Those end up getting lumped into the common stuff in the soc files. +The soc files (e.g., vi.c, soc15.c nv.c) contain code for aspects of +the SoC itself rather than specific IPs. E.g., things like GPU resets +and register access functions are SoC dependent. + +An APU contains more than just CPU and GPU, it also contains all of +the platform stuff (audio, usb, gpio, etc.). Also, a lot of +components are shared between the CPU, platform, and the GPU (e.g., +SMU, PSP, etc.). Specific components (CPU, GPU, etc.) usually have +their interface to interact with those common components. For things +like S0i3 there is a ton of coordination required across all the +components, but that is probably a bit beyond the scope of this +section. + +With respect to the GPU, we have the following major IPs: + +GMC (Graphics Memory Controller) + This was a dedicated IP on older pre-vega chips, but has since + become somewhat decentralized on vega and newer chips. They now + have dedicated memory hubs for specific IPs or groups of IPs. We + still treat it as a single component in the driver however since + the programming model is still pretty similar. This is how the + different IPs on the GPU get the memory (VRAM or system memory). + It also provides the support for per process GPU virtual address + spaces. + +IH (Interrupt Handler) + This is the interrupt controller on the GPU. All of the IPs feed + their interrupts into this IP and it aggregates them into a set of + ring buffers that the driver can parse to handle interrupts from + different IPs. + +PSP (Platform Security Processor) + This handles security policy for the SoC and executes trusted + applications, and validates and loads firmwares for other blocks. + +SMU (System Management Unit) + This is the power management microcontroller. It manages the entire + SoC. The driver interacts with it to control power management + features like clocks, voltages, power rails, etc. + +DCN (Display Controller Next) + This is the display controller. It handles the display hardware. + It is described in more details in :ref:`Display Core <amdgpu-display-core>`. + +SDMA (System DMA) + This is a multi-purpose DMA engine. The kernel driver uses it for + various things including paging and GPU page table updates. It's also + exposed to userspace for use by user mode drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, + etc.) + +GC (Graphics and Compute) + This is the graphics and compute engine, i.e., the block that + encompasses the 3D pipeline and and shader blocks. This is by far the + largest block on the GPU. The 3D pipeline has tons of sub-blocks. In + addition to that, it also contains the CP microcontrollers (ME, PFP, + CE, MEC) and the RLC microcontroller. It's exposed to userspace for + user mode drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL, etc.) + +VCN (Video Core Next) + This is the multi-media engine. It handles video and image encode and + decode. It's exposed to userspace for user mode drivers (VA-API, + OpenMAX, etc.) + +Graphics and Compute Microcontrollers +------------------------------------- + +CP (Command Processor) + The name for the hardware block that encompasses the front end of the + GFX/Compute pipeline. Consists mainly of a bunch of microcontrollers + (PFP, ME, CE, MEC). The firmware that runs on these microcontrollers + provides the driver interface to interact with the GFX/Compute engine. + + MEC (MicroEngine Compute) + This is the microcontroller that controls the compute queues on the + GFX/compute engine. + + MES (MicroEngine Scheduler) + This is a new engine for managing queues. This is currently unused. + +RLC (RunList Controller) + This is another microcontroller in the GFX/Compute engine. It handles + power management related functionality within the GFX/Compute engine. + The name is a vestige of old hardware where it was originally added + and doesn't really have much relation to what the engine does now. + +Driver Structure +================ + +In general, the driver has a list of all of the IPs on a particular +SoC and for things like init/fini/suspend/resume, more or less just +walks the list and handles each IP. + +Some useful constructs: + +KIQ (Kernel Interface Queue) + This is a control queue used by the kernel driver to manage other gfx + and compute queues on the GFX/compute engine. You can use it to + map/unmap additional queues, etc. + +IB (Indirect Buffer) + A command buffer for a particular engine. Rather than writing + commands directly to the queue, you can write the commands into a + piece of memory and then put a pointer to the memory into the queue. + The hardware will then follow the pointer and execute the commands in + the memory, then returning to the rest of the commands in the ring. + +.. _amdgpu_memory_domains: + +Memory Domains +============== + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/drm/amdgpu_drm.h + :doc: memory domains + +Buffer Objects +============== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c + :doc: amdgpu_object + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c + :internal: + +PRIME Buffer Sharing +==================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_dma_buf.c + :doc: PRIME Buffer Sharing + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_dma_buf.c + :internal: + +MMU Notifier +============ + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_hmm.c + :doc: MMU Notifier + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_hmm.c + :internal: + +AMDGPU Virtual Memory +===================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vm.c + :doc: GPUVM + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vm.c + :internal: + +Interrupt Handling +================== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_irq.c + :doc: Interrupt Handling + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_irq.c + :internal: + +IP Blocks +========= + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/amd_shared.h + :doc: IP Blocks + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/amd_shared.h + :identifiers: amd_ip_block_type amd_ip_funcs |
