commit 5486f5bf790b5c664913076c3194b8f916a5c7ad upstream.

All functions defined as static inline in net/checksum.h are
meant to be inlined for performance reason.

But since commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly") the compiler is allowed to
uninline functions when it wants.

Fair enough in the general case, but for tiny performance critical
checksum helpers that's counter-productive.

The problem mainly arises when selecting CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE,
Those helpers being 'static inline' in header files you suddenly find
them duplicated many times in the resulting vmlinux.

Here is a typical exemple when building powerpc pmac32_defconfig
with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE. csum_sub() appears 4 times:

	c04a23cc &lt;csum_sub&gt;:
	c04a23cc:	7c 84 20 f8 	not     r4,r4

Restore the expected behaviour by using __always_inline for all
functions defined in net/checksum.h

vmlinux size is even reduced by 256 bytes with this patch:

	6980022	2515362	 194384	9689768	 93daa8	vmlinux.before
	6979862	2515266	 194384	9689512	 93d9a8	vmlinux.now

<title>openvswitch: Fix setting ipv6 fields causing hw csum failure</title>

commit d9b5ae5c1b241b91480aa30408be12fe91af834a upstream.

Ipv6 ttl, label and tos fields are modified without first
pulling/pushing the ipv6 header, which would have updated
the hw csum (if available). This might cause csum validation
when sending the packet to the stack, as can be seen in
the trace below.

Fix this by updating skb-&gt;csum if available.

Trace resulted by ipv6 ttl dec and then sending packet
to conntrack [actions: set(ipv6(hlimit=63)),ct(zone=99)]:

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

<title>csum: Update csum_block_add to use rotate instead of byteswap</title>

<content type='text'>
The code for csum_block_add was doing a funky byteswap to swap the even and
odd bytes of the checksum if the offset was odd.  Instead of doing this we
can save ourselves some trouble and just shift by 8 as this should have the
same effect in terms of the final checksum value and only requires one
instruction.

In addition we can update csum_block_sub to just use csum_block_add with a
inverse value for csum2.  This way we follow the same code path as
csum_block_add without having to duplicate it.

<title>bpf: allow bpf_csum_diff to feed bpf_l3_csum_replace as well</title>

Commit 7d672345ed29 ("bpf: add generic bpf_csum_diff helper") added a
generic checksum diff helper that can feed bpf_l4_csum_replace() with
a target __wsum diff that is to be applied to the L4 checksum. This
facility is very flexible, can be cascaded, allows for adding, removing,
or diffing data, or for calculating the pseudo header checksum from
scratch, but it can also be reused for working with the IPv4 header
checksum.

Thus, analogous to bpf_l4_csum_replace(), add a case for header field
value of 0 to change the checksum at a given offset through a new helper
csum_replace_by_diff(). Also, in addition to that, this provides an
easy to use interface for feeding precalculated diffs f.e. coming from
a map. It nicely complements bpf_l3_csum_replace() that currently allows
only for csum updates of 2 and 4 byte diffs.
