commit 4f612ed3f748962cbef1316ff3d323e2b9055b6e upstream.

We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static
key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds.  This is due
to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to
hundreds of CPUs (cores).  If done too frequently, this can adversely
affect tail latencies of various workloads.

One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds,
while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still
exists and could still increase tail latencies.

As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at
lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance;
however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result
in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended.

Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals
and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly
better.  Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects
of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind
spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores).

Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately,
that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and
topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new
workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks.

Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a
large variety of different workloads and system architectures.  As such,
the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is
only recommended after careful evaluation.

For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates
exactly
2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path:

 | ...
 | cmpl   $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip)  # ffffffff82d560d0 &lt;kfence_allocation_gate&gt;
 | je     ffffffff812d6003      &lt;kmem_cache_alloc+0x243&gt;
 | ...

which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be
well predicted by most CPUs.

<title>mctp: unify sockaddr_mctp types</title>

Use the more precise __kernel_sa_family_t for smctp_family, to match
struct sockaddr.

Also, use an unsigned int for the network member; negative networks
don't make much sense. We're already using unsigned for mctp_dev and
mctp_skb_cb, but need to change mctp_sock to suit.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2021-10-14

Brett ensures RDMA nodes are removed during release and rebuild. He also
corrects fw.mgmt.api to include the patch number for proper
identification.

Dave stops ida_free() being called when an IDA has not been allocated.

Michal corrects the order of parameters being provided and the number of
entries skipped for UDP tunnels.

Pull spi fixes from Mark Brown:
 "A few small fixes.

  Mostly driver specific but there's one in the core which fixes a
  deadlock when adding devices on spi-mux that's triggered because
  spi-mux is a SPI device which is itself a SPI controller and so can
  instantiate devices when registered.

  We were using a global lock to protect against reusing chip selects
  but they're a per controller thing so moving the lock per controller
  resolves that"
