From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next 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.

This macro converts the passed +virtual address to a physical address. Normally, it is simply: + + phys = virt - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET + + +Decompressor Symbols +-------------------- + +ZTEXTADDR + Start address of decompressor. There's no point in talking about + virtual or physical addresses here, since the MMU will be off at + the time when you call the decompressor code. You normally call + the kernel at this address to start it booting. This doesn't have + to be located in RAM, it can be in flash or other read-only or + read-write addressable medium. + +ZBSSADDR + Start address of zero-initialised work area for the decompressor. + This must be pointing at RAM. The decompressor will zero initialise + this for you. Again, the MMU will be off. + +ZRELADDR + This is the address where the decompressed kernel will be written, + and eventually executed. The following constraint must be valid: + + __virt_to_phys(TEXTADDR) == ZRELADDR + + The initial part of the kernel is carefully coded to be position + independent. + +INITRD_PHYS + Physical address to place the initial RAM disk. Only relevant if + you are using the bootpImage stuff (which only works on the old + struct param_struct). + +INITRD_VIRT + Virtual address of the initial RAM disk. The following constraint + must be valid: + + __virt_to_phys(INITRD_VIRT) == INITRD_PHYS + +PARAMS_PHYS + Physical address of the struct param_struct or tag list, giving the + kernel various parameters about its execution environment. + + +Kernel Symbols +-------------- + +PHYS_OFFSET + Physical start address of the first bank of RAM. + +PAGE_OFFSET + Virtual start address of the first bank of RAM. During the kernel + boot phase, virtual address PAGE_OFFSET will be mapped to physical + address PHYS_OFFSET, along with any other mappings you supply. + This should be the same value as TASK_SIZE. + +TASK_SIZE + The maximum size of a user process in bytes. Since user space + always starts at zero, this is the maximum address that a user + process can access+1. The user space stack grows down from this + address. + + Any virtual address below TASK_SIZE is deemed to be user process + area, and therefore managed dynamically on a process by process + basis by the kernel. I'll call this the user segment. + + Anything above TASK_SIZE is common to all processes. I'll call + this the kernel segment. + + (In other words, you can't put IO mappings below TASK_SIZE, and + hence PAGE_OFFSET). + +TEXTADDR + Virtual start address of kernel, normally PAGE_OFFSET + 0x8000. + This is where the kernel image ends up. With the latest kernels, + it must be located at 32768 bytes into a 128MB region. Previous + kernels placed a restriction of 256MB here. + +DATAADDR + Virtual address for the kernel data segment. Must not be defined + when using the decompressor. + +VMALLOC_START / VMALLOC_END + Virtual addresses bounding the vmalloc() area. There must not be + any static mappings in this area; vmalloc will overwrite them. + The addresses must also be in the kernel segment (see above). + Normally, the vmalloc() area starts VMALLOC_OFFSET bytes above the + last virtual RAM address (found using variable high_memory). + +VMALLOC_OFFSET + Offset normally incorporated into VMALLOC_START to provide a hole + between virtual RAM and the vmalloc area. We do this to allow + out of bounds memory accesses (eg, something writing off the end + of the mapped memory map) to be caught. Normally set to 8MB. + +Architecture Specific Macros +---------------------------- + +BOOT_MEM(pram,pio,vio) + `pram` specifies the physical start address of RAM. Must always + be present, and should be the same as PHYS_OFFSET. + + `pio` is the physical address of an 8MB region containing IO for + use with the debugging macros in arch/arm/kernel/debug-armv.S. + + `vio` is the virtual address of the 8MB debugging region. + + It is expected that the debugging region will be re-initialised + by the architecture specific code later in the code (via the + MAPIO function). + +BOOT_PARAMS + Same as, and see PARAMS_PHYS. + +FIXUP(func) + Machine specific fixups, run before memory subsystems have been + initialised. + +MAPIO(func) + Machine specific function to map IO areas (including the debug + region above). + +INITIRQ(func) + Machine specific function to initialise interrupts. -- cgit v1.2.3
