commit dcd54265c8bc14bd023815e36e2d5f9d66ee1fee upstream.

trace_napi_poll_hit() is reading stat-&gt;dev while another thread can write
on it from dropmon_net_event()

Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() here, RCU rules are properly enforced already,
we only have to take care of load/store tearing.

<title>drop_monitor: Do not cancel uninitialized work item</title>

[ Upstream commit dfa7f709596be5ca46c070d4f8acbb344322056a ]

Drop monitor uses a work item that takes care of constructing and
sending netlink notifications to user space. In case drop monitor never
started to monitor, then the work item is uninitialized and not
associated with a function.

Therefore, a stop command from user space results in canceling an
uninitialized work item which leads to the following warning [1].

Fix this by not processing a stop command if drop monitor is not
currently monitoring.

When working in 'packet' mode, drop monitor generates a notification
with a potentially truncated payload of the dropped packet. The payload
is copied from the MAC header, but I forgot to check that the MAC header
was set, so do it now.

Timestamps are currently communicated to user space as 'struct
timespec', which is not considered y2038 safe since it uses a 32-bit
signed value for seconds.

Fix this while the API is still not part of any official kernel release
by using 64-bit nanoseconds timestamps instead.

Drop monitor has start and stop commands, but so far these were only
used to start and stop monitoring of software drops.

Now that drop monitor can also monitor hardware drops, we should allow
the user to control these as well.

Do that by adding SW and HW flags to these commands. If no flag is
specified, then only start / stop monitoring software drops. This is
done in order to maintain backward-compatibility with existing user
space applications.

Drop monitor has start and stop commands, but so far these were only
used to start and stop monitoring of software drops.

Now that drop monitor can also monitor hardware drops, we should allow
the user to control these as well.

Do that by adding SW and HW flags to these commands. If no flag is
specified, then only start / stop monitoring software drops. This is
done in order to maintain backward-compatibility with existing user
space applications.

In summary alert mode a notification is sent with a list of recent drop
reasons and a count of how many packets were dropped due to this reason.

To avoid expensive operations in the context in which packets are
dropped, each CPU holds an array whose number of entries is the maximum
number of drop reasons that can be encoded in the netlink notification.
Each entry stores the drop reason and a count. When a packet is dropped
the array is traversed and a new entry is created or the count of an
existing entry is incremented.

Later, in process context, the array is replaced with a newly allocated
copy and the old array is encoded in a netlink notification. To avoid
breaking user space, the notification includes the ancillary header,
which is 'struct net_dm_alert_msg' with number of entries set to '0'.

In a similar fashion to software drops, extend drop monitor to send
netlink events when packets are dropped by the underlying hardware.

The main difference is that instead of encoding the program counter (PC)
from which kfree_skb() was called in the netlink message, we encode the
hardware trap name. The two are mostly equivalent since they should both
help the user understand why the packet was dropped.

The drop monitor configuration (e.g., alert mode) is global, but user
will be able to enable monitoring of only software or hardware drops.

Therefore, ensure that monitoring of both software and hardware drops are
disabled before allowing drop monitor configuration to take place.

Export a function that can be invoked in order to report packets that
were dropped by the underlying hardware along with metadata.

Subsequent patches will add support for the different alert modes.
