commit 2c956a60778cbb6a27e0c7a8a52a91378c90e1d1 upstream.

SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a
general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG
chaining.

For the first usage:

There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently
hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of
rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant
as a replacement for jhash in these cases.

There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.

While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function,
it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the
difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage
poses a real security risk.

For the second usage:

A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure
sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers.
SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5
in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is
obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch
series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy.

Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels.
SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of
problems, and it's time we catch-up.

The testsuite covers classic and internal BPF instructions.
It is particularly useful for JIT compiler developers.
Adds to "net" selftest target.

The testsuite can be used as a set of micro-benchmarks.
It measures execution time of each BPF program in nsec.

This patch adds core framework.

lib/interval_tree.c provides a simple interface for an interval-tree
(an augmented red-black tree) but is only built when testing the generic
macros for building interval-trees. For drivers with modest needs,
export the simple interval-tree library as is.

v2: Lots of help from Michel Lespinasse to only compile the code
    as required:
    - make INTERVAL_TREE a config option
    - make INTERVAL_TREE_TEST select the library functions
      and sanitize the filenames &amp; Makefile
    - prepare interval_tree for being built as a module if required

lib/audit.c provides a generic function for auditing system calls.
This patch extends it for compat syscall support on bi-architectures
(32/64-bit) by adding lib/compat_audit.c.
What is required to support this feature are:
 * add asm/unistd32.h for compat system call names
 * select CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH_COMPAT_GENERIC

<title>x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y</title>

Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced
compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with
options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate
broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled
with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create
file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot.

The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when
using ad hoc calling conventions.  It is therefore best to treat any
file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated
environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis,
since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions.

This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage
profiling.
