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.

Booter and other tools will be also +available from this place or http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/unix/Linux/680x0/q40/ +and mirrors. + +Hints to documentation usually refer to the linux source tree in +/usr/src/linux/Documentation unless URL given. + +It seems IRQ unmasking can't be safely done on a Q40. IRQ probing +is not implemented - do not try it! (See below) + +For a list of kernel command-line options read the documentation for the +particular device drivers. + +The floppy imposes a very high interrupt load on the CPU, approx 30K/s. +When something blocks interrupts (HD) it will lose some of them, so far +this is not known to have caused any data loss. On highly loaded systems +it can make the floppy very slow or practically stop. Other Q40 OS' simply +poll the floppy for this reason - something that can't be done in Linux. +Only possible cure is getting a 82072 controller with fifo instead of +the 8272A. + +drivers used by the Q40, apart from the very obvious (console etc.): + drivers/char/q40_keyb.c # use PC keymaps for national keyboards + serial.c # normal PC driver - any speed + lp.c # printer driver + genrtc.c # RTC + char/joystick/* # most of this should work, not + # in default config.in + block/floppy.c # normal PC driver, DMA emu in asm/floppy.h + # and arch/m68k/kernel/entry.S + # see drivers/block/README.fd + ata/pata_falcon.c + net/ne.c + video/q40fb.c + parport/* + sound/dmasound_core.c + dmasound_q40.c + +Various other PC drivers can be enabled simply by adding them to +arch/m68k/config.in, especially 8 bit devices should be without any +problems. For cards using 16bit io/mem more care is required, like +checking byte order issues, hacking memcpy_*_io etc. + + +Debugging +========= + +Upon startup the kernel will usually output "ABCQGHIJ" into the SRAM, +preceded by the booter signature. This is a trace just in case something +went wrong during earliest setup stages of head.S. +**Changed** to preserve SRAM contents by default, this is only done when +requested - SRAM must start with '%LX$' signature to do this. '-d' option +to 'lxx' loader enables this. + +SRAM can also be used as additional console device, use debug=mem. +This will save kernel startup msgs into SRAM, the screen will display +only the penguin - and shell prompt if it gets that far.. +Unfortunately only 2000 bytes are available. + +Serial console works and can also be used for debugging, see loader_txt + +Most problems seem to be caused by fawlty or badly configured io-cards or +hard drives anyway. +Make sure to configure the parallel port as SPP and remove IRQ/DMA jumpers +for first testing. The Q40 does not support DMA and may have trouble with +parallel ports version of interrupts. + + +Q40 Hardware Description +======================== + +This is just an overview, see asm-m68k/* for details ask if you have any +questions. + +The Q40 consists of a 68040@40 MHz, 1MB video RAM, up to 32MB RAM, AT-style +keyboard interface, 1 Programmable LED, 2x8bit DACs and up to 1MB ROM, 1MB +shadow ROM. +The Q60 has any of 68060 or 68LC060 and up to 128 MB RAM. + +Most interfacing like floppy, IDE, serial and parallel ports is done via ISA +slots. The ISA io and mem range is mapped (sparse&byteswapped!) into separate +regions of the memory. +The main interrupt register IIRQ_REG will indicate whether an IRQ was internal +or from some ISA devices, EIRQ_REG can distinguish up to 8 ISA IRQs. + +The Q40 custom chip is programmable to provide 2 periodic timers: + - 50 or 200 Hz - level 2, !!THIS CAN'T BE DISABLED!! + - 10 or 20 KHz - level 4, used for dma-sound + +Linux uses the 200 Hz interrupt for timer and beep by default. + + +Interrupts +========== + +q40 master chip handles only a subset of level triggered interrupts. + +Linux has some requirements wrt interrupt architecture, these are +to my knowledge: + (a) interrupt handler must not be reentered even when sti() is called + from within handler + (b) working enable/disable_irq + +Luckily these requirements are only important for drivers shared +with other architectures - ide,serial,parallel, ethernet. +q40ints.c now contains a trivial hack for (a), (b) is more difficult +because only irq's 4-15 can be disabled - and only all of them at once. +Thus disable_irq() can effectively block the machine if the driver goes +asleep. +One thing to keep in mind when hacking around the interrupt code is +that there is no way to find out which IRQ caused a request, [EI]IRQ_REG +displays current state of the various IRQ lines. + +Keyboard +======== + +q40 receives AT make/break codes from the keyboard, these are translated to +the PC scancodes x86 Linux uses. So by theory every national keyboard should +work just by loading the appropriate x86 keytable - see any national-HOWTO. + +Unfortunately the AT->PC translation isn't quite trivial and even worse, my +documentation of it is absolutely minimal - thus some exotic keys may not +behave exactly as expected. + +There is still hope that it can be fixed completely though. If you encounter +problems, email me ideally this: + - exact keypress/release sequence + - 'showkey -s' run on q40, non-X session + - 'showkey -s' run on a PC, non-X session + - AT codes as displayed by the q40 debugging ROM +btw if the showkey output from PC and Q40 doesn't differ then you have some +classic configuration problem - don't send me anything in this case + |
