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.

+/** DOC: Emulation for User-Mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP)
+ *
+ * User-Mode Instruction Prevention is a security feature present in recent
+ * x86 processors that, when enabled, prevents a group of instructions (SGDT,
+ * SIDT, SLDT, SMSW and STR) from being run in user mode by issuing a general
+ * protection fault if the instruction is executed with CPL > 0.
+ *
+ * Rather than relaying to the user space the general protection fault caused by
+ * the UMIP-protected instructions (in the form of a SIGSEGV signal), it can be
+ * trapped and emulate the result of such instructions to provide dummy values.
+ * This allows to both conserve the current kernel behavior and not reveal the
+ * system resources that UMIP intends to protect (i.e., the locations of the
+ * global descriptor and interrupt descriptor tables, the segment selectors of
+ * the local descriptor table, the value of the task state register and the
+ * contents of the CR0 register).
+ *
+ * This emulation is needed because certain applications (e.g., WineHQ and
+ * DOSEMU2) rely on this subset of instructions to function.
+ *
+ * The instructions protected by UMIP can be split in two groups. Those which
+ * return a kernel memory address (SGDT and SIDT) and those which return a
+ * value (SLDT, STR and SMSW).
+ *
+ * For the instructions that return a kernel memory address, applications
+ * such as WineHQ rely on the result being located in the kernel memory space,
+ * not the actual location of the table. The result is emulated as a hard-coded
+ * value that, lies close to the top of the kernel memory. The limit for the GDT
+ * and the IDT are set to zero.
+ *
+ * The instruction SMSW is emulated to return the value that the register CR0
+ * has at boot time as set in the head_32.
+ * SLDT and STR are emulated to return the values that the kernel programmatically
+ * assigns:
+ * - SLDT returns (GDT_ENTRY_LDT * 8) if an LDT has been set, 0 if not.
+ * - STR returns (GDT_ENTRY_TSS * 8).
+ *
+ * Emulation is provided for both 32-bit and 64-bit processes.
+ *
+ * Care is taken to appropriately emulate the results when segmentation is
+ * used. That is, rather than relying on USER_DS and USER_CS, the function
+ * insn_get_addr_ref() inspects the segment descriptor pointed by the
+ * registers in pt_regs. This ensures that we correctly obtain the segment
+ * base address and the address and operand sizes even if the user space
+ * application uses a local descriptor table.

+ * fault if executed with CPL > 0 (i.e., from user space). This function fixes
+ * the exception up and provides dummy results for SGDT, SIDT and SMSW; STR
+ * and SLDT are not fixed up.
+ *
+ * If operands are memory addresses, results are copied to user-space memory as
+ * indicated by the instruction pointed by eIP using the registers indicated in
+ * the instruction operands. If operands are registers, results are copied into
+ * the context that was saved when entering kernel mode.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *
+ * True if emulation was successful; false if not.
