The series is causing issues with PHY drivers built as modules.
Since it was only partially applied and the merge window has
opened let's revert and try again for v6.11.

Revert 6916e461e793 ("net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation")
Revert 0ec5ed6c130e ("net: sfp: pass the phy_device when disconnecting an sfp module's PHY")

pull-request: bpf-next 2024-05-13

We've added 119 non-merge commits during the last 14 day(s) which contain
a total of 134 files changed, 9462 insertions(+), 4742 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add BPF JIT support for 32-bit ARCv2 processors, from Shahab Vahedi.

2) Add BPF range computation improvements to the verifier in particular
   around XOR and OR operators, refactoring of checks for range computation
   and relaxing MUL range computation so that src_reg can also be an unknown
   scalar, from Cupertino Miranda.

3) Add support to attach kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
   a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function entry
   and return, the entry program can decide if the return program gets
   executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie value with return
   program. Session mode is a common use-case for tetragon and bpftrace,
   from Jiri Olsa.

4) Fix a potential overflow in libbpf's ring__consume_n() and improve libbpf
   as well as BPF selftest's struct_ops handling, from Andrii Nakryiko.

5) Improvements to BPF selftests in context of BPF gcc backend,
   from Jose E. Marchesi &amp; David Faust.

6) Migrate remaining BPF selftest tests from test_sock_addr.c to prog_test-
   -style in order to retire the old test, run it in BPF CI and additionally
   expand test coverage, from Jordan Rife.

7) Big batch for BPF selftest refactoring in order to remove duplicate code
   around common network helpers, from Geliang Tang.

8) Another batch of improvements to BPF selftests to retire obsolete
   bpf_tcp_helpers.h as everything is available vmlinux.h,
   from Martin KaFai Lau.

9) Fix BPF map tear-down to not walk the map twice on free when both timer
   and wq is used, from Benjamin Tissoires.

10) Fix BPF verifier assumptions about socket-&gt;sk that it can be non-NULL,
    from Alexei Starovoitov.

11) Change BTF build scripts to using --btf_features for pahole v1.26+,
    from Alan Maguire.

12) Small improvements to BPF reusing struct_size() and krealloc_array(),
    from Andy Shevchenko.

13) Fix s390 JIT to emit a barrier for BPF_FETCH instructions,
    from Ilya Leoshkevich.

14) Extend TCP -&gt;cong_control() callback in order to feed in ack and
    flag parameters and allow write-access to tp-&gt;snd_cwnd_stamp
    from BPF program, from Miao Xu.

15) Add support for internal-only per-CPU instructions to inline
    bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper call for arm64 and riscv64 BPF JITs,
    from Puranjay Mohan.

16) Follow-up to remove the redundant ethtool.h from tooling infrastructure,
    from Tushar Vyavahare.

17) Extend libbpf to support "module:&lt;function&gt;" syntax for tracing
    programs, from Viktor Malik.

Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next:

Patch #1 skips transaction if object type provides no .update interface.

Patch #2 skips NETDEV_CHANGENAME which is unused.

Patch #3 enables conntrack to handle Multicast Router Advertisements and
	 Multicast Router Solicitations from the Multicast Router Discovery
	 protocol (RFC4286) as untracked opposed to invalid packets.
	 From Linus Luessing.

Patch #4 updates DCCP conntracker to mark invalid as invalid, instead of
	 dropping them, from Jason Xing.

Patch #5 uses NF_DROP instead of -NF_DROP since NF_DROP is 0,
	 also from Jason.

Patch #6 removes reference in netfilter's sysctl documentation on pickup
	 entries which were already removed by Florian Westphal.

Patch #7 removes check for IPS_OFFLOAD flag to disable early drop which
	 allows to evict entries from the conntrack table,
	 also from Florian.

Patches #8 to #16 updates nf_tables pipapo set backend to allocate
	 the datastructure copy on-demand from preparation phase,
	 to better deal with OOM situations where .commit step is too late
	 to fail. Series from Florian Westphal.

Patch #17 adds a selftest with packetdrill to cover conntrack TCP state
	 transitions, also from Florian.

Patch #18 use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements from control plane to avoid
	 quick atomic reserves exhaustion with large sets, reporter refers
	 to million entries magnitude.

<title>ARC: Add eBPF JIT support</title>
<updated>2024-05-12T23:51:36+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Shahab Vahedi</name>
<email>shahab@synopsys.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-04-30T14:56:04+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=f122668ddcce450c2585f0be4bf4478d6fd6176b'/>
<id>f122668ddcce450c2585f0be4bf4478d6fd6176b</id>
<content type='text'>
This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic

The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".

1. Normal pass       # The necessary pass
     1a. Dry run       # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
     1b. Emit phase    # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass        # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
     2a. Patch relocations

Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:

- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)

The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:

hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

  test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:

  .-----------.------------.-------------.
  | test type |   opcodes  | # of cases  |
  |-----------+------------+-------------|
  | atomic    | 0xC3, 0xDB |         149 |
  | div64     | 0x37, 0x3F |          22 |
  | mod64     | 0x97, 0x9F |          15 |
  `-----------^------------+-------------|
                           | (total) 186 |
                           `-------------'

Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:

  CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
  CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
  CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m

The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:

  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y             # prerequisite for below
  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y         # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h

  CONFIG_FTRACE=y                 #
  CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y            # all these options lead to
  CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y          # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y            #

Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.

[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7

Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:

pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats

Or else, the build will fail:

$ make V=1
  ...
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats                    \
       -j --lang_exclude=rust                 \
       --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
       --btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
  ...
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available

This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

Running the tests
-----------------

This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

====================
pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2024-05-03

1) Remove Obsolete UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE Support.
   This was defined by an early version of an IETF draft
   that did not make it to a standard.

2) Introduce direction attribute for xfrm states.
   xfrm states have a direction, a stsate can be used
   either for input or output packet processing.
   Add a direction to xfrm states to make it clear
   for what a xfrm state is used.
