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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================= +Scatterlist Cryptographic API +============================= + +Introduction +============ + +The Scatterlist Crypto API takes page vectors (scatterlists) as +arguments, and works directly on pages. In some cases (e.g. ECB +mode ciphers), this will allow for pages to be encrypted in-place +with no copying. + +One of the initial goals of this design was to readily support IPsec, +so that processing can be applied to paged skb's without the need +for linearization. + + +Details +======= + +At the lowest level are algorithms, which register dynamically with the +API. + +'Transforms' are user-instantiated objects, which maintain state, handle all +of the implementation logic (e.g. manipulating page vectors) and provide an +abstraction to the underlying algorithms. However, at the user +level they are very simple. + +Conceptually, the API layering looks like this:: + + [transform api] (user interface) + [transform ops] (per-type logic glue e.g. cipher.c, compress.c) + [algorithm api] (for registering algorithms) + +The idea is to make the user interface and algorithm registration API +very simple, while hiding the core logic from both. Many good ideas +from existing APIs such as Cryptoapi and Nettle have been adapted for this. + +The API currently supports five main types of transforms: AEAD (Authenticated +Encryption with Associated Data), Block Ciphers, Ciphers, Compressors and +Hashes. + +Please note that Block Ciphers is somewhat of a misnomer. It is in fact +meant to support all ciphers including stream ciphers. The difference +between Block Ciphers and Ciphers is that the latter operates on exactly +one block while the former can operate on an arbitrary amount of data, +subject to block size requirements (i.e., non-stream ciphers can only +process multiples of blocks). + +Here's an example of how to use the API:: + + #include + #include + #include + + struct scatterlist sg[2]; + char result[128]; + struct crypto_ahash *tfm; + struct ahash_request *req; + + tfm = crypto_alloc_ahash("md5", 0, CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC); + if (IS_ERR(tfm)) + fail(); + + /* ... set up the scatterlists ... */ + + req = ahash_request_alloc(tfm, GFP_ATOMIC); + if (!req) + fail(); + + ahash_request_set_callback(req, 0, NULL, NULL); + ahash_request_set_crypt(req, sg, result, 2); + + if (crypto_ahash_digest(req)) + fail(); + + ahash_request_free(req); + crypto_free_ahash(tfm); + + +Many real examples are available in the regression test module (tcrypt.c). + + +Developer Notes +=============== + +Transforms may only be allocated in user context, and cryptographic +methods may only be called from softirq and user contexts. For +transforms with a setkey method it too should only be called from +user context. + +When using the API for ciphers, performance will be optimal if each +scatterlist contains data which is a multiple of the cipher's block +size (typically 8 bytes). This prevents having to do any copying +across non-aligned page fragment boundaries. + + +Adding New Algorithms +===================== + +When submitting a new algorithm for inclusion, a mandatory requirement +is that at least a few test vectors from known sources (preferably +standards) be included. + +Converting existing well known code is preferred, as it is more likely +to have been reviewed and widely tested. If submitting code from LGPL +sources, please consider changing the license to GPL (see section 3 of +the LGPL). + +Algorithms submitted must also be generally patent-free (e.g. IDEA +will not be included in the mainline until around 2011), and be based +on a recognized standard and/or have been subjected to appropriate +peer review. + +Also check for any RFCs which may relate to the use of specific algorithms, +as well as general application notes such as RFC2451 ("The ESP CBC-Mode +Cipher Algorithms"). + +It's a good idea to avoid using lots of macros and use inlined functions +instead, as gcc does a good job with inlining, while excessive use of +macros can cause compilation problems on some platforms. + +Also check the TODO list at the web site listed below to see what people +might already be working on. + + +Bugs +==== + +Send bug reports to: + linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org + +Cc: + Herbert Xu , + David S.
