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.

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.

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.

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.
