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. Removed: - AppleTalk COPS. - AppleTalk ipddp. - TI AR7 CPMAC Ethernet driver. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - add a driver for the Intel E2000 IPUs - make CRC/FCS stripping configurable - cross-timestamping for E823 devices - basic support for E830 devices - use aux-bus for managing client drivers - i40e: report firmware versions via devlink - nVidia/Mellanox: - support 4-port NICs - increase max number of channels to 256 - optimize / parallelize SF creation flow - Broadcom (bnxt): - enhance NIC temperature reporting - support PAM4 speeds and lane configuration - Marvell OcteonTX2: - PTP pulse-per-second output support - enable hardware timestamping for VFs - Solarflare/AMD: - conntrack NAT offload and offload for tunnels - Wangxun (ngbe/txgbe): - expose HW statistics - Pensando/AMD: - support PCI level reset - narrow down the condition under which skbs are linearized - Netronome/Corigine (nfp): - support CHACHA20-POLY1305 crypto in IPsec offload - Ethernet NICs embedded, slower, virtual: - Synopsys (stmmac): - add Loongson-1 SoC support - enable use of HW queues with no offload capabilities - enable PPS input support on all 5 channels - increase TX coalesce timer to 5ms - RealTek USB (r8152): improve efficiency of Rx by using GRO frags - xen: support SW packet timestamping - add drivers for implementations based on TI's PRUSS (AM64x EVM) - nVidia/Mellanox Ethernet datacenter switches: - avoid poor HW resource use on Spectrum-4 by better block selection for IPv6 multicast forwarding and ordering of blocks in ACL region - Ethernet embedded switches: - Microchip: - support configuring the drive strength for EMI compliance - ksz9477: partial ACL support - ksz9477: HSR offload - ksz9477: Wake on LAN - Realtek: - rtl8366rb: respect device tree config of the CPU port - Ethernet PHYs: - support Broadcom BCM5221 PHYs - TI dp83867: support hardware LED blinking - CAN: - add support for Linux-PHY based CAN transceivers - at91_can: clean up and use rx-offload helpers - WiFi: - MediaTek (mt76): - new sub-driver for mt7925 USB/PCIe devices - HW wireless <> Ethernet bridging in MT7988 chips - mt7603/mt7628 stability improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WCN7850: - enable 320 MHz channels in 6 GHz band - hardware rfkill support - enable IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS to make scan faster - read board data variant name from SMBIOS - QCN9274: mesh support - RealTek (rtw89): - TDMA-based multi-channel concurrency (MCC) - Silicon Labs (wfx): - Remain-On-Channel (ROC) support - Bluetooth: - ISO: many improvements for broadcast support - mark BCM4378/BCM4387 as BROKEN_LE_CODED - add support for QCA2066 - btmtksdio: enable Bluetooth wakeup from suspend" * tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1816 commits) net: pcs: xpcs: Add 2500BASE-X case in get state for XPCS drivers net: bpf: Use sockopt_lock_sock() in ip_sock_set_tos() net: mana: Use xdp_set_features_flag instead of direct assignment vxlan: Cleanup IFLA_VXLAN_PORT_RANGE entry in vxlan_get_size() iavf: delete the iavf client interface iavf: add a common function for undoing the interrupt scheme iavf: use unregister_netdev iavf: rely on netdev's own registered state iavf: fix the waiting time for initial reset iavf: in iavf_down, don't queue watchdog_task if comms failed iavf: simplify mutex_trylock+sleep loops iavf: fix comments about old bit locks doc/netlink: Update schema to support cmd-cnt-name and cmd-max-name tools: ynl: introduce option to process unknown attributes or types ipvlan: properly track tx_errors netdevsim: Block until all devices are released nfp: using napi_build_skb() to replace build_skb() net: dsa: microchip: ksz9477: Fix spelling mistake "Enery" -> "Energy" net: dsa: microchip: Ensure Stable PME Pin State for Wake-on-LAN net: dsa: microchip: Refactor switch shutdown routine for WoL preparation ...

2023-10-15rust: upgrade to Rust 1.73.0Miguel Ojeda
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized. Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. # Required changes For the upgrade, the following changes are required: - Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4]. - A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint. See previous commits for details. - A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

2023-10-10docs: submitting-patches: encourage direct notifications to commentersThomas Weißschuh
Commenters may not receive new versions of patches via the lists. Without a directed notification to them they might miss those new versions. This is frustrating for the patch developers as they don't receive their earned Reviewed-by. It is also frustrating for the commenters, as they might think their review got ignored or they have to dig up new versions from the archive manually. So encourage patch submitters to make sure that all commenters get notified also when no Reviewed-by was issued yet.

2023-10-10docs: add backporting and conflict resolution documentVegard Nossum
This is a new document based on my 2022 blog post: https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/backporting-patches-using-git Although this is aimed at stable contributors and distro maintainers, it does also contain useful tips and tricks for anybody who needs to resolve merge conflicts. By adding this to the kernel as documentation we can more easily point to it e.g. from stable emails about failed backports, as well as allow the community to modify it over time if necessary. I've added this under process/ since it also has process/applying-patches.rst. Another interesting document is maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.rst which maybe should eventually refer to this one, but I'm leaving that as a future cleanup.

2023-10-05rust: upgrade to Rust 1.72.1Miguel Ojeda
This is the third upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.71.1 to 1.72.1 (i.e. the latest) [1].

Please see [3] for details. # Other improvements Previously, the compiler could incorrectly generate a `.eh_frame` section under `-Cpanic=abort`.

2023-08-15rust: bindgen: upgrade to 0.65.1Aakash Sen Sharma
In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)` rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via `clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]: $ make rustdoc LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1 -j$(nproc) RUSTC L rust/core.o BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs BINDGEN rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9 ... thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9 ... This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16. Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to `--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too. In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the Quick Start guide. Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind `size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen. Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

2023-08-14rust: upgrade to Rust 1.71.1Miguel Ojeda
This is the second upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.68.2 to 1.71.1 (i.e. the latest). See the upgrade policy [1] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized. Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [2] for details. # Required changes For the upgrade, this patch requires the following changes: - Removal of the `__rust_*` allocator functions, together with the addition of the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` static. See [3] for details. - Some more compiler builtins added due to `<f{32,64}>::midpoint()` that got added in Rust 1.71 [4]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach).

2023-08-12Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: add clean platforms profileKrzysztof Kozlowski
Some SoC platforms require that commits must not bring any new dtbs_check warnings. Maintainers of such platforms usually have some automation set, so any new warning will be spotted sooner or later. Worst case: they run the tests themselves. Document requirements for such platforms, so contributors can expect their patches being dropped or ignored, if they bring new warnings for existing boards.

Move the short description about when to use which of the submission options to the top of the section, as it currently sits somewhat odd in the middle between option 3 and examples of option 1. Also move the examples of Option 1 into the section describing it (which in the diff looks like option 2 and 3 are moving down). No text changes, just moving it around.

2023-08-05docs: stable-kernel-rules: make rule section more straight forwardThorsten Leemhuis
Tweak some of the rule text to make things more straight forward, with the goal to stick closely to the intend of the old text: * put the "it or equivalent fix must be upstream" rule at the top, as it's one of the most important ones that at the same time often seems to be missed by developers. * "It must fix only one thing" was dropped, as that is almost always a thing that needs to be handled earlier when the change is mainlined. Furthermore, this is already indirectly covered by the "Separate your changes" section in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst which the rules already point to. * six other rules are in the end one rule with clarifications; structure the text accordingly to make it a lot easier to follow and understand the intend. * drop the 'In short, something critical' from one of those notes: it contradicts the "real bug that bothers people" aspect somewhat and does not really add anything CC: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> CC: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> CC: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@leemhuis.info> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/f83e812879caa978a51a1a7cae7c359f29fc093c.1689056247.git.linux@leemhuis.info Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
