[ Upstream commit 8f15b5071b4548b0aafc03b366eb45c9c6566704 ]

Replace manual range and mask validations with netlink policy
annotations in ctnetlink code paths, so that the netlink core rejects
invalid values early and can generate extack errors.

- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE: reject values &gt; TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2 at
  policy level, removing the manual &gt;= TCP_CONNTRACK_MAX check.
- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_WSCALE_ORIGINAL/REPLY: reject values &gt; TCP_MAX_WSCALE
  (14). The normal TCP option parsing path already clamps to this value,
  but the ctnetlink path accepted 0-255, causing undefined behavior when
  used as a u32 shift count.
- CTA_FILTER_ORIG_FLAGS/REPLY_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with
  CTA_FILTER_F_ALL, removing the manual mask checks.
- CTA_EXPECT_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with NF_CT_EXPECT_MASK, adding
  a new mask define grouping all valid expect flags.

Extracted from a broader nf-next patch by Florian Westphal, scoped to
ctnetlink for the fixes tree.

[ Upstream commit a116bac87118903925108e57781bbfc7a7eea27b ]

include/uapi/linux/dma-buf.h uses several macros from ioctl.h to define
its ioctl commands. However, it does not include ioctl.h itself. So,
if userspace source code tries to include the dma-buf.h file without
including ioctl.h, it can result in build failures.

Therefore, include ioctl.h in the dma-buf UAPI header.

[ Upstream commit 4edd4ba71ce0df015303dba75ea9d20d1a217546 ]

Musl defines its own struct ethhdr and thus defines __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR to
zero. To avoid struct redefinition errors, user space is therefore
supposed to include netinet/if_ether.h before (or instead of)
linux/if_ether.h. To relieve them from this burden, include the libc
header here if not building for kernel space.

[ Upstream commit c25d01e1c4f2d43f47af87c00e223f5ca7c71792 ]

The unpacked unions within a packed struct generates alignment warnings
on clang for 32-bit ARM:

./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:239:4: error: field u within 'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter32'
  is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:223:2)'
  and is usually due to 'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter32' being packed,
  which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
     239 |         } u;
         |           ^

./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:254:6: error: field u within
  'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter64::(anonymous union)::(unnamed at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:249:3)'
  is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:251:4)' and is usually due to
  'struct vmmdev_hgcm_function_parameter64::(anonymous union)::(unnamed at ./usr/include/linux/vbox_vmmdev_types.h:249:3)'
  being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]

With the recent changes to compile-test the UAPI headers in more cases,
these warning in combination with CONFIG_WERROR breaks the build.

Fix the warnings.

[ Upstream commit 427f0c8c194b22edcafef1b0a42995ddc5c2227d ]

The default behavior for source MACVLAN is to duplicate packets to
appropriate type source devices, and then do the normal destination MACVLAN
flow. This patch adds an option to skip destination MACVLAN processing if
any matching source MACVLAN device has the option set.

This allows setting up a "catch all" device for source MACVLAN: create one
or more devices with type source nodst, and one device with e.g. type vepa,
and incoming traffic will be received on exactly one device.

[ Upstream commit 427f0c8c194b22edcafef1b0a42995ddc5c2227d ]

The default behavior for source MACVLAN is to duplicate packets to
appropriate type source devices, and then do the normal destination MACVLAN
flow. This patch adds an option to skip destination MACVLAN processing if
any matching source MACVLAN device has the option set.

This allows setting up a "catch all" device for source MACVLAN: create one
or more devices with type source nodst, and one device with e.g. type vepa,
and incoming traffic will be received on exactly one device.

[ Upstream commit 0ace3297a7301911e52d8195cb1006414897c859 ]

Before this patch, the kernel was saving any flags set by the userspace,
even unknown ones. This doesn't cause critical issues because the kernel
is only looking at specific ones. But on the other hand, endpoints dumps
could tell the userspace some recent flags seem to be supported on older
kernel versions.

Instead, ignore all unknown flags when parsing them. By doing that, the
userspace can continue to set unsupported flags, but it has a way to
verify what is supported by the kernel.

Note that it sounds better to continue accepting unsupported flags not
to change the behaviour, but also that eases things on the userspace
side by adding "optional" endpoint types only supported by newer kernel
versions without having to deal with the different kernel versions.

A note for the backports: there will be conflicts in mptcp.h on older
versions not having the mentioned flags, the new line should still be
added last, and the '5' needs to be adapted to have the same value as
the last entry.

commit 7a089ec7d77fe7d50f6bb7b178fa25eec9fd822b upstream.

Recently in commit 3c4e0dff2095 ("vt: Disable KD_FONT_OP_COPY") we
disabled the KD_FONT_OP_COPY ioctl() option. Delete all the
con_font_copy() callbacks, since we no longer use them.

Mark KD_FONT_OP_COPY as "obsolete" in include/uapi/linux/kd.h, just like
what we have done for PPPIOCDETACH in commit af8d3c7c001a ("ppp: remove
the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl").
