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(). ...

+
+*Note:* When programming any address comparator the driver will tag the
+comparator with a type used - i.e. RANGE, SINGLE, START, STOP. Once this tag
+is set, then only the values can be changed using the same sysfs file / type
+used to program it.
+
+Thus::
+
+ % echo 0 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 0
+ % echo 0x1000 0x5000 0 > addr_range ; set address range on comparators 0, 1.
+ % echo 0x2000 > addr_start ; error as comparator 0 is a range comparator
+ % echo 2 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 2
+ % echo 0x2000 > addr_start ; this is OK as comparator 2 is unused.
+ % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop ; error as comparator 2 set as start address.
+ % echo 2 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 3
+ % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop ; this is OK
+
+To remove programming on all the comparators (and all the other hardware) use
+the reset parameter::
+
+ % echo 1 > reset
+
+
+
+The ‘mode’ sysfs parameter.
+---------------------------
+
+This is a bitfield selection parameter that sets the overall trace mode for the
+ETM. The table below describes the bits, using the defines from the driver
+source file, along with a description of the feature these represent. Many
+features are optional and therefore dependent on implementation in the
+hardware.
+
+Bit assignments shown below:-
+
+----
+
+**bit (0):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCLUDE
+
+**description:**
+ This is the default value for the include / exclude function when
+ setting address ranges. Set 1 for exclude range. When the mode
+ parameter is set this value is applied to the currently indexed
+ address range.
+
+.. _coresight-branch-broadcast:
+
+**bit (4):**
+ ETM_MODE_BB
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable branch broadcast if supported in hardware [IDR0]. The primary use for this feature
+ is when code is patched dynamically at run time and the full program flow may not be able to be
+ reconstructed using only conditional branches.
+
+ There is currently no support in Perf for supplying modified binaries to the decoder, so this
+ feature is only inteded to be used for debugging purposes or with a 3rd party tool.
+
+ Choosing this option will result in a significant increase in the amount of trace generated -
+ possible danger of overflows, or fewer instructions covered. Note, that this option also
+ overrides any setting of :ref:`ETM_MODE_RETURNSTACK <coresight-return-stack>`, so where a branch
+ broadcast range overlaps a return stack range, return stacks will not be available for that
+ range.
+
+.. _coresight-cycle-accurate:
+
+**bit (5):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_CYCACC
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable cycle accurate trace if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (6):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_CTXID
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable context ID tracing if supported in hardware [IDR2].
+
+
+**bit (7):**
+ ETM_MODE_VMID
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable virtual machine ID tracing if supported [IDR2].
+
+.. _coresight-timestamp:
+
+**bit (11):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_TIMESTAMP
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable timestamp generation if supported [IDR0].
+
+.. _coresight-return-stack:
+
+**bit (12):**
+ ETM_MODE_RETURNSTACK
+**description:**
+ Set to enable trace return stack use if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (13-14):**
+ ETM_MODE_QELEM(val)
+
+**description:**
+ ‘val’ determines level of Q element support enabled if
+ implemented by the ETM [IDR0]
+
+
+**bit (19):**
+ ETM_MODE_ATB_TRIGGER
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the ATBTRIGGER bit in the event control register
+ [EVENTCTLR1] if supported [IDR5].
+
+
+**bit (20):**
+ ETM_MODE_LPOVERRIDE
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the LPOVERRIDE bit in the event control register
+ [EVENTCTLR1], if supported [IDR5].
+
+
+**bit (21):**
+ ETM_MODE_ISTALL_EN
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the ISTALL bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR]
+
+
+**bit (23):**
+ ETM_MODE_INSTPRIO
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the INSTPRIORITY bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR] , if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (24):**
+ ETM_MODE_NOOVERFLOW
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the NOOVERFLOW bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR], if supported [IDR3].
+
+
+**bit (25):**
+ ETM_MODE_TRACE_RESET
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the TRCRESET bit in the viewinst control register
+ [VICTLR] , if supported [IDR3].
+
+
+**bit (26):**
+ ETM_MODE_TRACE_ERR
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the TRCCTRL bit in the viewinst control register
+ [VICTLR].
+
+
+**bit (27):**
+ ETM_MODE_VIEWINST_STARTSTOP
+
+**description:**
+ Set the initial state value of the ViewInst start / stop logic
+ in the viewinst control register [VICTLR]
+
+
+**bit (30):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCL_KERN
+
+**description:**
+ Set default trace setup to exclude kernel mode trace (see note a)
+
+
+**bit (31):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCL_USER
+
+**description:**
+ Set default trace setup to exclude user space trace (see note a)
+
+----
+
+*Note a)* On startup the ETM is programmed to trace the complete address space
+using address range comparator 0. ‘mode’ bits 30 / 31 modify this setting to
+set EL exclude bits for NS state in either user space (EL0) or kernel space
+(EL1) in the address range comparator. (the default setting excludes all
+secure EL, and NS EL2)
+
+Once the reset parameter has been used, and/or custom programming has been
+implemented - using these bits will result in the EL bits for address
+comparator 0 being set in the same way.
+
+*Note b)* Bits 2-3, 8-10, 15-16, 18, 22, control features that only work with
+data trace. As A-profile data trace is architecturally prohibited in ETMv4,
+these have been omitted here. Possible uses could be where a kernel has
+support for control of R or M profile infrastructure as part of a heterogeneous
+system.
+
+Bits 17, 28-29 are unused.
