Merge tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.

- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).

- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.

- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.

- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().

- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.

- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.

- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.

- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.

- MCTP over I3C.

BPF:

- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.

This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.

- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.

- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

Changes to common code:

- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.

- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

Driver API:

- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.

- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.

- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

Misc:

- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
"WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
got it to a reasonable point.

Core:

- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations

Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is

Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely

- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid

- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT

- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker

- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families

Protocols:

- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2]

- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy

- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags

- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative

- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
(MPTCP_FULL_INFO)

- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
record

- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
way to issuing ioctls over io_uring

- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address

- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch

- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable

- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
(ipconfig)

- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
(e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)

- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets

- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
printk level to debug

- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto

- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4

- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7

BPF:

- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
especially those using open-coded iterators

- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
output buffer *should* be, without writing anything

- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers

- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper

- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands

- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
maps as read-only)

- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo

- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
self-explanatory):
- Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
and bpf_dynptr_clone().
- bpf_task_under_cgroup()
- bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
- bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs

Netfilter:

- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
presence of an entry in a map without using the value

- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds

- Allow updating size of a set

- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing

Driver API:

- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
"offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
(i.e. packets coming in and out)

- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules

- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
common helper routines

- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
associated with the PCS layer

- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
scheduler offload (taprio)

- Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
to fit into the message

- Split devlink instance and devlink port operations

Merge branch 'SCM_PIDFD-SCM_PEERPIDFD'

Alexander Mikhalitsyn says:

====================
Add SCM_PIDFD and SO_PEERPIDFD

1. Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogical to SCM_CREDENTIALS,
but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid, which allows programmers not
to care about PID reuse problem.

2. Add SO_PEERPIDFD which allows to get pidfd of peer socket holder pidfd.
This thing is direct analog of SO_PEERCRED which allows to get plain PID.

3. Add SCM_PIDFD / SO_PEERPIDFD kselftest

Idea comes from UAPI kernel group:
https://uapi-group.org/kernel-features/

Big thanks to Christian Brauner and Lennart Poettering for productive
discussions about this and Luca Boccassi for testing and reviewing this.

=== Motivation behind this patchset

Eric Dumazet raised a question:
> It seems that we already can use pidfd_open() (since linux-5.3), and
> pass the resulting fd in af_unix SCM_RIGHTS message ?

Yes, it's possible, but it means that from the receiver side we need
to trust the sent pidfd (in SCM_RIGHTS),
or always use combination of SCM_RIGHTS+SCM_CREDENTIALS, then we can
extract pidfd from SCM_RIGHTS,
then acquire plain pid from pidfd and after compare it with the pid
from SCM_CREDENTIALS.

A few comments from other folks regarding this.
