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.

To replace any current microcode, a full QE reset (which +disables the microcode) must be performed first. + +QE microcode is uploaded using the following procedure: + +1) The microcode is placed into I-RAM at a specific location, using the + IRAM.IADD and IRAM.IDATA registers. + +2) The CERCR.CIR bit is set to 0 or 1, depending on whether the firmware + needs split I-RAM. Split I-RAM is only meaningful for SOCs that have + QEs with multiple RISC processors, such as the 8360. Splitting the I-RAM + allows each processor to run a different microcode, effectively creating an + asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) system. + +3) The TIBCR trap registers are loaded with the addresses of the trap handlers + in the microcode. + +4) The RSP.ECCR register is programmed with the value provided. + +5) If necessary, device drivers that need the virtual traps and extended mode + data will use them. + +Virtual Microcode Traps + +These virtual traps are conditional branches in the microcode.

This +header file contains macros that define the microcode binary itself as well as +some other data used in uploading that microcode. The format of these files +do not lend themselves to simple inclusion into other code. Hence, +the need for a more portable format. This section defines that format. + +Instead of distributing a header file, the microcode and related data are +embedded into a binary blob. This blob is passed to the qe_upload_firmware() +function, which parses the blob and performs everything necessary to upload +the microcode. + +All integers are big-endian. See the comments for function +qe_upload_firmware() for up-to-date implementation information. + +This structure supports versioning, where the version of the structure is +embedded into the structure itself. To ensure forward and backwards +compatibility, all versions of the structure must use the same 'qe_header' +structure at the beginning. + +'header' (type: struct qe_header): + The 'length' field is the size, in bytes, of the entire structure, + including all the microcode embedded in it, as well as the CRC (if + present). + + The 'magic' field is an array of three bytes that contains the letters + 'Q', 'E', and 'F'. This is an identifier that indicates that this + structure is a QE Firmware structure. + + The 'version' field is a single byte that indicates the version of this + structure. If the layout of the structure should ever need to be + changed to add support for additional types of microcode, then the + version number should also be changed. + +The 'id' field is a null-terminated string(suitable for printing) that +identifies the firmware. + +The 'count' field indicates the number of 'microcode' structures. There +must be one and only one 'microcode' structure for each RISC processor. +Therefore, this field also represents the number of RISC processors for this +SOC. + +The 'soc' structure contains the SOC numbers and revisions used to match +the microcode to the SOC itself. Normally, the microcode loader should +check the data in this structure with the SOC number and revisions, and +only upload the microcode if there's a match. However, this check is not +made on all platforms. + +Although it is not recommended, you can specify '0' in the soc.model +field to skip matching SOCs altogether. + +The 'model' field is a 16-bit number that matches the actual SOC. The +'major' and 'minor' fields are the major and minor revision numbers, +respectively, of the SOC. + +For example, to match the 8323, revision 1.0:: + + soc.model = 8323 + soc.major = 1 + soc.minor = 0 + +'padding' is necessary for structure alignment. This field ensures that the +'extended_modes' field is aligned on a 64-bit boundary. + +'extended_modes' is a bitfield that defines special functionality which has an +impact on the device drivers. Each bit has its own impact and has special +instructions for the driver associated with it. This field is stored in +the QE library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info(). + +'vtraps' is an array of 8 words that contain virtual trap values for each +virtual traps. As with 'extended_modes', this field is stored in the QE +library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info(). + +'microcode' (type: struct qe_microcode): + For each RISC processor there is one 'microcode' structure. The first + 'microcode' structure is for the first RISC, and so on. + + The 'id' field is a null-terminated string suitable for printing that + identifies this particular microcode. + + 'traps' is an array of 16 words that contain hardware trap values + for each of the 16 traps. If trap[i] is 0, then this particular + trap is to be ignored (i.e. not written to TIBCR[i]). The entire value + is written as-is to the TIBCR[i] register, so be sure to set the EN + and T_IBP bits if necessary. + + 'eccr' is the value to program into the ECCR register. + + 'iram_offset' is the offset into IRAM to start writing the + microcode. + + 'count' is the number of 32-bit words in the microcode. + + 'code_offset' is the offset, in bytes, from the beginning of this + structure where the microcode itself can be found. The first + microcode binary should be located immediately after the 'microcode' + array. + + 'major', 'minor', and 'revision' are the major, minor, and revision + version numbers, respectively, of the microcode. If all values are 0, + then these fields are ignored. + + 'reserved' is necessary for structure alignment. Since 'microcode' + is an array, the 64-bit 'extended_modes' field needs to be aligned + on a 64-bit boundary, and this can only happen if the size of + 'microcode' is a multiple of 8 bytes. To ensure that, we add + 'reserved'. + +After the last microcode is a 32-bit CRC. It can be calculated using +this algorithm:: + + u32 crc32(const u8 *p, unsigned int len) + { + unsigned int i; + u32 crc = 0; + + while (len--) { + crc ^= *p++; + for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) + crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xedb88320 : 0); + } + return crc; + } + +VI - Sample Code for Creating Firmware Files +============================================ + +A Python program that creates firmware binaries from the header files normally +distributed by Freescale can be found on http://opensource.freescale.com. |
