[ Upstream commit b1c17a9a353878602fd5bfe9103e4afe5e9a3f96 ]

Various things in eBPF really require us to disable preemption
before running an eBPF program.

<title>fib_rules: return 0 directly if an exactly same rule exists when NLM_F_EXCL not supplied</title>

[ Upstream commit e9919a24d3022f72bcadc407e73a6ef17093a849 ]

With commit 153380ec4b9 ("fib_rules: Added NLM_F_EXCL support to
fib_nl_newrule") we now able to check if a rule already exists. But this
only works with iproute2. For other tools like libnl, NetworkManager,
it still could add duplicate rules with only NLM_F_CREATE flag, like

[localhost ~ ]# ip rule
0:      from all lookup local
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default
100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5
100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5

As it doesn't make sense to create two duplicate rules, let's just return
0 if the rule exists.

<title>socket: fix compat SO_RCVTIMEO_NEW/SO_SNDTIMEO_NEW</title>

<content type='text'>
It looks like the new socket options only work correctly
for native execution, but in case of compat mode fall back
to the old behavior as we ignore the 'old_timeval' flag.

Rework so we treat SO_RCVTIMEO_NEW/SO_SNDTIMEO_NEW the
same way in compat and native 32-bit mode.

<title>net/core: work around section mismatch warning for ptp_classifier</title>

<id>ad910c7c01269f229a97c335f2dc669fff750f65</id>
<content type='text'>
The routine ptp_classifier_init() uses an initializer for an
automatic struct type variable which refers to an __initdata
symbol. This is perfectly legal, but may trigger a section
mismatch warning when running the compiler in -fpic mode, due
to the fact that the initializer may be emitted into an anonymous
.data section thats lack the __init annotation. So work around it
by using assignments instead.

KMSAN will complain if valid address length passed to bpf_bind() is
shorter than sizeof("struct sockaddr"-&gt;sa_family) bytes.

<title>failover: allow name change on IFF_UP slave interfaces</title>

When a netdev appears through hot plug then gets enslaved by a failover
master that is already up and running, the slave will be opened
right away after getting enslaved. Today there's a race that userspace
(udev) may fail to rename the slave if the kernel (net_failover)
opens the slave earlier than when the userspace rename happens.
Unlike bond or team, the primary slave of failover can't be renamed by
userspace ahead of time, since the kernel initiated auto-enslavement is
unable to, or rather, is never meant to be synchronized with the rename
request from userspace.

As the failover slave interfaces are not designed to be operated
directly by userspace apps: IP configuration, filter rules with
regard to network traffic passing and etc., should all be done on master
interface. In general, userspace apps only care about the
name of master interface, while slave names are less important as long
as admin users can see reliable names that may carry
other information describing the netdev. For e.g., they can infer that
"ens3nsby" is a standby slave of "ens3", while for a
name like "eth0" they can't tell which master it belongs to.

Historically the name of IFF_UP interface can't be changed because
there might be admin script or management software that is already
relying on such behavior and assumes that the slave name can't be
changed once UP. But failover is special: with the in-kernel
auto-enslavement mechanism, the userspace expectation for device
enumeration and bring-up order is already broken. Previously initramfs
and various userspace config tools were modified to bypass failover
slaves because of auto-enslavement and duplicate MAC address. Similarly,
in case that users care about seeing reliable slave name, the new type
of failover slaves needs to be taken care of specifically in userspace
anyway.

It's less risky to lift up the rename restriction on failover slave
which is already UP. Although it's possible this change may potentially
break userspace component (most likely configuration scripts or
management software) that assumes slave name can't be changed while
UP, it's relatively a limited and controllable set among all userspace
components, which can be fixed specifically to listen for the rename
events on failover slaves. Userspace component interacting with slaves
is expected to be changed to operate on failover master interface
instead, as the failover slave is dynamic in nature which may come and
go at any point.  The goal is to make the role of failover slaves less
relevant, and userspace components should only deal with failover master
in the long run.

====================
pull-request: bpf 2019-04-04

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Batch of fixes to the existing BPF flow dissector API to support
   calling BPF programs from the eth_get_headlen context (support for
   latter is planned to be added in bpf-next), from Stanislav.
