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.

+
+.SH IDLE\-INFO DESCRIPTIONS
+CPU sleep state statistics and descriptions are retrieved from sysfs files,
+exported by the cpuidle kernel subsystem. The kernel only updates these
+statistics when it enters or leaves an idle state, therefore on a very idle or
+a very busy system, these statistics may not be accurate. They still provide a
+good overview about the usage and availability of processor sleep states on
+the platform.
+
+Be aware that the sleep states as exported by the hardware or BIOS and used by
+the Linux kernel may not exactly reflect the capabilities of the
+processor. This often is the case on the X86 architecture when the acpi_idle
+driver is used. It is also possible that the hardware overrules the kernel
+requests, due to internal activity monitors or other reasons.
+On recent X86 platforms it is often possible to read out hardware registers
+which monitor the duration of sleep states the processor resided in. The
+cpupower monitor tool (cpupower\-monitor(1)) can be used to show real sleep
+state residencies. Please refer to the architecture specific description
+section below.
+
+.SH IDLE\-INFO ARCHITECTURE SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS
+.SS "X86"
+POLL idle state
+
+If cpuidle is active, X86 platforms have one special idle state.
+The POLL idle state is not a real idle state, it does not save any
+power. Instead, a busy\-loop is executed doing nothing for a short period of
+time. This state is used if the kernel knows that work has to be processed
+very soon and entering any real hardware idle state may result in a slight
+performance penalty.
+
+There exist two different cpuidle drivers on the X86 architecture platform:
+
+"acpi_idle" cpuidle driver
+
+The acpi_idle cpuidle driver retrieves available sleep states (C\-states) from
+the ACPI BIOS tables (from the _CST ACPI function on recent platforms or from
+the FADT BIOS table on older ones).
+The C1 state is not retrieved from ACPI tables. If the C1 state is entered,
+the kernel will call the hlt instruction (or mwait on Intel).
+
+"intel_idle" cpuidle driver
+
+In kernel 2.6.36 the intel_idle driver was introduced.
+It only serves recent Intel CPUs (Nehalem, Westmere, Sandybridge, Atoms or
+newer). On older Intel CPUs the acpi_idle driver is still used (if the BIOS
+provides C\-state ACPI tables).
+The intel_idle driver knows the sleep state capabilities of the processor and
+ignores ACPI BIOS exported processor sleep states tables.
+
+.SH "REMARKS"
+.LP
+By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of
+other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option
+section.

+Cpuidle Governors Policy on Disabling Sleep States
+
+.RS 4
+Depending on the used cpuidle governor, implementing the kernel policy
+how to choose sleep states, subsequent sleep states on this core, might get
+disabled as well.
+
+There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
+governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
+menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.
+
+The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
+implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
+example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
+then all deeper states are disabled as well. Likewise, if one enables a
+deep state but a lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
+.RE
+.LP
+Disabling the Lightest Sleep State may not have any Affect
+
+.RS 4
+If criteria are not met to enter deeper sleep states and the lightest sleep
+state is chosen when idle, the kernel may still enter this sleep state,
+irrespective of whether it is disabled or not. This is also reflected in
+the usage count of the disabled sleep state when using the cpupower idle-info
+command.
+.RE
+.LP
+Selecting specific CPU Cores
+
+.RS 4
+By default processor sleep states of all CPU cores are set. Please refer
+to the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section how to disable
+C-states of specific cores.

+.SH MONITOR DESCRIPTIONS
+.SS "Idle_Stats"
+Shows statistics of the cpuidle kernel subsystem. Values are retrieved from
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state*/.
+The kernel updates these values every time an idle state is entered or
+left. Therefore there can be some inaccuracy when cores are in an idle
+state for some time when the measure starts or ends. In worst case it can happen
+that one core stayed in an idle state for the whole measure time and the idle
+state usage time as exported by the kernel did not get updated. In this case
+a state residency of 0 percent is shown while it was 100.
+
+.SS "Mperf"
+The name comes from the aperf/mperf (average and maximum) MSR registers used
+which are available on recent X86 processors. It shows the average frequency
+(including boost frequencies).
+The fact that on all recent hardware the mperf timer stops ticking in any idle
+state it is also used to show C0 (processor is active) and Cx (processor is in
+any sleep state) times. These counters do not have the inaccuracy restrictions
+the "Idle_Stats" counters may show.
+May work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29, as the \fBacpi-cpufreq \fP
+kernel frequency driver periodically cleared aperf/mperf registers in those
+kernels.
+
+.SS "Nehalem" "SandyBridge" "HaswellExtended"
+Intel Core and Package sleep state counters.
+Threads (hyperthreaded cores) may not be able to enter deeper core states if
+its sibling is utilized.
+Deepest package sleep states may in reality show up as machine/platform wide
+sleep states and can only be entered if all cores are idle. Look up Intel
+manuals (some are provided in the References section) for further details.
+The monitors are named after the CPU family where the sleep state capabilities
+got introduced and may not match exactly the CPU name of the platform.
+For example an IvyBridge processor has sleep state capabilities which got
+introduced in Nehalem and SandyBridge processor families.
+Thus on an IvyBridge processor one will get Nehalem and SandyBridge sleep
+state monitors.
+HaswellExtended extra package sleep state capabilities are available only in a
+specific Haswell (family 0x45) and probably also other future processors.
+
+.SS "Fam_12h" "Fam_14h"
+AMD laptop and desktop processor (family 12h and 14h) sleep state counters.
+The registers are accessed via PCI and therefore can still be read out while
+cores have been offlined.
+
+There is one special counter: NBP1 (North Bridge P1).
+This one always returns 0 or 1, depending on whether the North Bridge P1
+power state got entered at least once during measure time.
+Being able to enter NBP1 state also depends on graphics power management.
+Therefore this counter can be used to verify whether the graphics' driver
+power management is working as expected.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+
+cpupower monitor -l" may show:
+.RS 4
+Monitor "Mperf" (3 states) \- Might overflow after 922000000 s
+
+ ...
+
+Monitor "Idle_Stats" (3 states) \- Might overflow after 4294967295 s
+
+ ...
+
+.RE
+cpupower monitor \-m "Idle_Stats,Mperf" scp /tmp/test /nfs/tmp
+
+Monitor the scp command, show both Mperf and Idle_Stats states counter
+statistics, but in exchanged order.
+
+
+
+.RE
+Be careful that the typical command to fully utilize one CPU by doing:
+
+cpupower monitor cat /dev/zero >/dev/null
+
+Does not work as expected, because the measured output is redirected to
+/dev/null. This could get workarounded by putting the line into an own, tiny
+shell script. Hit CTRL\-c to terminate the command and get the measure output
+displayed.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcpupower powercap-info \fP shows kernel powercapping subsystem information.
+This needs hardware support and a loaded powercapping driver (at this time only
+intel_rapl driver exits) exporting hardware values userspace via sysfs.
+
+Some options are platform wide, some affect single cores. By default values
+of core zero are displayed only. cpupower --cpu all cpuinfo will show the
+settings of all cores, see cpupower(1) how to choose specific cores.

+.B cpupower set [ \-b VAL ]
+
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcpupower set \fP sets kernel configurations or directly accesses hardware
+registers affecting processor power saving policies.
+
+Some options are platform wide, some affect single cores. By default values
+are applied on all cores. How to modify single core configurations is
+described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section. Whether an
+option affects the whole system or can be applied to individual cores is
+described in the Options sections.
+
+Use \fBcpupower info \fP to read out current settings and whether they are
+supported on the system at all.
+
+.SH Options
+.PP
+\-\-perf-bias, \-b
+.RS 4
+Sets a register on supported Intel processore which allows software to convey
+its policy for the relative importance of performance versus energy savings to
+the processor.
+
+The range of valid numbers is 0-15, where 0 is maximum
+performance and 15 is maximum energy efficiency.
+
+The processor uses this information in model-specific ways
+when it must select trade-offs between performance and
+energy efficiency.
+
+This policy hint does not supersede Processor Performance states
+(P-states) or CPU Idle power states (C-states), but allows
+software to have influence where it would otherwise be unable
+to express a preference.
+
+For example, this setting may tell the hardware how
+aggressively or conservatively to control frequency
+in the "turbo range" above the explicitly OS-controlled
+P-state frequency range. It may also tell the hardware
+how aggressively it should enter the OS requested C-states.
+
+This option can be applied to individual cores only via the \-\-cpu option,
+cpupower(1).
+
+Setting the performance bias value on one CPU can modify the setting on
+related CPUs as well (for example all CPUs on one socket), because of
+hardware restrictions.
+Use \fBcpupower -c all info -b\fP to verify.
+
+This options needs the msr kernel driver (CONFIG_X86_MSR) loaded.
