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 + +======= +IO-APIC +======= + +:Author: Ingo Molnar + +Most (all) Intel-MP compliant SMP boards have the so-called 'IO-APIC', +which is an enhanced interrupt controller. It enables us to route +hardware interrupts to multiple CPUs, or to CPU groups. Without an +IO-APIC, interrupts from hardware will be delivered only to the +CPU which boots the operating system (usually CPU#0). + +Linux supports all variants of compliant SMP boards, including ones with +multiple IO-APICs. Multiple IO-APICs are used in high-end servers to +distribute IRQ load further. + +There are (a few) known breakages in certain older boards, such bugs are +usually worked around by the kernel. If your MP-compliant SMP board does +not boot Linux, then consult the linux-smp mailing list archives first. + +If your box boots fine with enabled IO-APIC IRQs, then your +/proc/interrupts will look like this one:: + + hell:~> cat /proc/interrupts + CPU0 + 0: 1360293 IO-APIC-edge timer + 1: 4 IO-APIC-edge keyboard + 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade + 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu + 14: 1448 IO-APIC-edge ide0 + 16: 28232 IO-APIC-level Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 Ethernet + 17: 51304 IO-APIC-level eth0 + NMI: 0 + ERR: 0 + hell:~> + +Some interrupts are still listed as 'XT PIC', but this is not a problem; +none of those IRQ sources is performance-critical. + + +In the unlikely case that your board does not create a working mp-table, +you can use the pirq= boot parameter to 'hand-construct' IRQ entries. This +is non-trivial though and cannot be automated. One sample /etc/lilo.conf +entry:: + + append="pirq=15,11,10" + +The actual numbers depend on your system, on your PCI cards and on their +PCI slot position.

If you look at the daisy chaining diagram, +a card in slot4, issuing INTA IRQ, it will end up as a signal on PIRQ4 of +the PCI chipset. Most cards issue INTA, this creates optimal distribution +between the PIRQ lines. (distributing IRQ sources properly is not a +necessity, PCI IRQs can be shared at will, but it's a good for performance +to have non shared interrupts). Slot5 should be used for videocards, they +do not use interrupts normally, thus they are not daisy chained either. + +so if you have your SCSI card (IRQ11) in Slot1, Tulip card (IRQ9) in +Slot2, then you'll have to specify this pirq= line:: + + append="pirq=11,9" + +the following script tries to figure out such a default pirq= line from +your PCI configuration:: + + echo -n pirq=; echo `scanpci | grep T_L | cut -c56-` | sed 's/ /,/g' + +note that this script won't work if you have skipped a few slots or if your +board does not do default daisy-chaining. (or the IO-APIC has the PIRQ pins +connected in some strange way). E.g. if in the above case you have your SCSI +card (IRQ11) in Slot3, and have Slot1 empty:: + + append="pirq=0,9,11" + +[value '0' is a generic 'placeholder', reserved for empty (or non-IRQ emitting) +slots.] + +Generally, it's always possible to find out the correct pirq= settings, just +permute all IRQ numbers properly ... it will take some time though. An +'incorrect' pirq line will cause the booting process to hang, or a device +won't function properly (e.g. if it's inserted as a module). + +If you have 2 PCI buses, then you can use up to 8 pirq values, although such +boards tend to have a good configuration. + +Be prepared that it might happen that you need some strange pirq line:: + + append="pirq=0,0,0,0,0,0,9,11" + +Use smart trial-and-error techniques to find out the correct pirq line ... + +Good luck and mail to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org or +linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org if you have any problems that are not covered +by this document. + diff --git a/Documentation/x86/i386/index.rst b/Documentation/x86/i386/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8747cf5bb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/x86/i386/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +..
