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.

+=======================================
+Internal ABI between the kernel and HYP
+=======================================
+
+This file documents the interaction between the Linux kernel and the
+hypervisor layer when running Linux as a hypervisor (for example
+KVM). It doesn't cover the interaction of the kernel with the
+hypervisor when running as a guest (under Xen, KVM or any other
+hypervisor), or any hypervisor-specific interaction when the kernel is
+used as a host.
+
+Note: KVM/arm has been removed from the kernel. The API described
+here is still valid though, as it allows the kernel to kexec when
+booted at HYP. It can also be used by a hypervisor other than KVM
+if necessary.
+
+On arm and arm64 (without VHE), the kernel doesn't run in hypervisor
+mode, but still needs to interact with it, allowing a built-in
+hypervisor to be either installed or torn down.
+
+In order to achieve this, the kernel must be booted at HYP (arm) or
+EL2 (arm64), allowing it to install a set of stubs before dropping to
+SVC/EL1. These stubs are accessible by using a 'hvc #0' instruction,
+and only act on individual CPUs.
+
+Unless specified otherwise, any built-in hypervisor must implement
+these functions (see arch/arm{,64}/include/asm/virt.h):
+
+* ::
+
+ r0/x0 = HVC_SET_VECTORS
+ r1/x1 = vectors
+
+ Set HVBAR/VBAR_EL2 to 'vectors' to enable a hypervisor. 'vectors'
+ must be a physical address, and respect the alignment requirements
+ of the architecture. Only implemented by the initial stubs, not by
+ Linux hypervisors.
+
+* ::
+
+ r0/x0 = HVC_RESET_VECTORS
+
+ Turn HYP/EL2 MMU off, and reset HVBAR/VBAR_EL2 to the initials
+ stubs' exception vector value. This effectively disables an existing
+ hypervisor.
+
+* ::
+
+ r0/x0 = HVC_SOFT_RESTART
+ r1/x1 = restart address
+ x2 = x0's value when entering the next payload (arm64)
+ x3 = x1's value when entering the next payload (arm64)
+ x4 = x2's value when entering the next payload (arm64)
+
+ Mask all exceptions, disable the MMU, clear I+D bits, move the arguments
+ into place (arm64 only), and jump to the restart address while at HYP/EL2.
+ This hypercall is not expected to return to its caller.
+
+* ::
+
+ x0 = HVC_FINALISE_EL2 (arm64 only)
+
+ Finish configuring EL2 depending on the command-line options,
+ including an attempt to upgrade the kernel's exception level from
+ EL1 to EL2 by enabling the VHE mode. This is conditioned by the CPU
+ supporting VHE, the EL2 MMU being off, and VHE not being disabled by
+ any other means (command line option, for example).
+
+Any other value of r0/x0 triggers a hypervisor-specific handling,
+which is not documented here.
+
+The return value of a stub hypercall is held by r0/x0, and is 0 on
+success, and HVC_STUB_ERR on error. A stub hypercall is allowed to
+clobber any of the caller-saved registers (x0-x18 on arm64, r0-r3 and
+ip on arm). It is thus recommended to use a function call to perform
+the hypercall.

+=======================
+ARM Hypercall Interface
+=======================
+
+KVM handles the hypercall services as requested by the guests. New hypercall
+services are regularly made available by the ARM specification or by KVM (as
+vendor services) if they make sense from a virtualization point of view.
+
+This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can observe
+two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if a given guest
+is tied to a particular version of a hypercall service, or if a migration
+causes a different version to be exposed out of the blue to an unsuspecting
+guest.
+
+In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
+pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
+interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set
+to a convenient value as required.
+
+The following registers are defined:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION:
+
+ KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface)
+ specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset
+ and power-off to the guest.
+
+ - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set
+ (and thus has already been initialized)
+ - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the
+ highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2)
+ - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with
+ v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG
+ - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu)
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1:
+ Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2017-5715, as
+ offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
+ under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 in [1].
+
+ Accepted values are:
+
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_AVAIL:
+ KVM does not offer
+ firmware support for the workaround. The mitigation status for the
+ guest is unknown.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_AVAIL:
+ The workaround HVC call is
+ available to the guest and required for the mitigation.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_REQUIRED:
+ The workaround HVC call
+ is available to the guest, but it is not needed on this VCPU.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2:
+ Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2018-3639, as
+ offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
+ under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 in [1]_.
+
+ Accepted values are:
+
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_NOT_AVAIL:
+ A workaround is not
+ available. KVM does not offer firmware support for the workaround.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_UNKNOWN:
+ The workaround state is
+ unknown. KVM does not offer firmware support for the workaround.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_AVAIL:
+ The workaround is available,
+ and can be disabled by a vCPU. If
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_ENABLED is set, it is active for
+ this vCPU.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_NOT_REQUIRED:
+ The workaround is always active on this vCPU or it is not needed.
+
+
+Bitmap Feature Firmware Registers
+---------------------------------
+
+Contrary to the above registers, the following registers exposes the
+hypercall services in the form of a feature-bitmap to the userspace. This
+bitmap is translated to the services that are available to the guest.
+There is a register defined per service call owner and can be accessed via
+GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.
+
+By default, these registers are set with the upper limit of the features
+that are supported. This way userspace can discover all the usable
+hypercall services via GET_ONE_REG. The user-space can write-back the
+desired bitmap back via SET_ONE_REG. The features for the registers that
+are untouched, probably because userspace isn't aware of them, will be
+exposed as is to the guest.
+
+Note that KVM will not allow the userspace to configure the registers
+anymore once any of the vCPUs has run at least once. Instead, it will
+return a -EBUSY.
+
+The pseudo-firmware bitmap register are as follows:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the ARM Standard Secure Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BIT_TRNG_V1_0:
+ The bit represents the services offered under v1.0 of ARM True Random
+ Number Generator (TRNG) specification, ARM DEN0098.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the ARM Standard Hypervisor Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BIT_PV_TIME:
+ The bit represents the Paravirtualized Time service as represented by
+ ARM DEN0057A.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the Vendor specific Hypervisor Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BIT_FUNC_FEAT
+ The bit represents the ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_FEATURES_FUNC_ID
+ and ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_CALL_UID_FUNC_ID function-ids.
+
+ Bit-1: KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BIT_PTP:
+ The bit represents the Precision Time Protocol KVM service.

+Paravirtualized time support for arm64
+======================================
+
+Arm specification DEN0057/A defines a standard for paravirtualised time
+support for AArch64 guests:
+
+https://developer.arm.com/docs/den0057/a
+
+KVM/arm64 implements the stolen time part of this specification by providing
+some hypervisor service calls to support a paravirtualized guest obtaining a
+view of the amount of time stolen from its execution.
+
+Two new SMCCC compatible hypercalls are defined:
+
+* PV_TIME_FEATURES: 0xC5000020
+* PV_TIME_ST: 0xC5000021
+
+These are only available in the SMC64/HVC64 calling convention as
+paravirtualized time is not available to 32 bit Arm guests. The existence of
+the PV_TIME_FEATURES hypercall should be probed using the SMCCC 1.1
+ARCH_FEATURES mechanism before calling it.
+
+PV_TIME_FEATURES
+
+ ============= ======== =================================================
+ Function ID: (uint32) 0xC5000020
+ PV_call_id: (uint32) The function to query for support.
+ Currently only PV_TIME_ST is supported.
+ Return value: (int64) NOT_SUPPORTED (-1) or SUCCESS (0) if the relevant
+ PV-time feature is supported by the hypervisor.
+ ============= ======== =================================================
+
+PV_TIME_ST
+
+ ============= ======== ==============================================
+ Function ID: (uint32) 0xC5000021
+ Return value: (int64) IPA of the stolen time data structure for this
+ VCPU. On failure:
+ NOT_SUPPORTED (-1)
+ ============= ======== ==============================================
+
+The IPA returned by PV_TIME_ST should be mapped by the guest as normal memory
+with inner and outer write back caching attributes, in the inner shareable
+domain. A total of 16 bytes from the IPA returned are guaranteed to be
+meaningfully filled by the hypervisor (see structure below).
+
+PV_TIME_ST returns the structure for the calling VCPU.
+
+Stolen Time
+-----------
+
+The structure pointed to by the PV_TIME_ST hypercall is as follows:
+
++-------------+-------------+-------------+----------------------------+
+| Field | Byte Length | Byte Offset | Description |
++=============+=============+=============+============================+
+| Revision | 4 | 0 | Must be 0 for version 1.0 |
++-------------+-------------+-------------+----------------------------+
+| Attributes | 4 | 4 | Must be 0 |
++-------------+-------------+-------------+----------------------------+
+| Stolen time | 8 | 8 | Stolen time in unsigned |
+| | | | nanoseconds indicating how |
+| | | | much time this VCPU thread |
+| | | | was involuntarily not |
+| | | | running on a physical CPU. |
++-------------+-------------+-------------+----------------------------+
+
+All values in the structure are stored little-endian.
+
+The structure will be updated by the hypervisor prior to scheduling a VCPU. It
+will be present within a reserved region of the normal memory given to the
+guest. The guest should not attempt to write into this memory. There is a
+structure per VCPU of the guest.
+
+It is advisable that one or more 64k pages are set aside for the purpose of
+these structures and not used for other purposes, this enables the guest to map
+the region using 64k pages and avoids conflicting attributes with other memory.
