Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

     AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
     passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
     Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
     lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

   - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
     packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
     routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
     PPPoE).

   - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
     processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
     NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

   - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

     Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
     address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
     sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
     TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
     of the link information available via rtnetlink.

   - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
     accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

   - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
     PPS.

   - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

   - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
     and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

   - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

   - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
     driver.

   - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

   - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

   - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
     used either for input or output packet processing.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

     This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

   - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

   - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
     "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

  Netfilter:

   - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
     situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

  BPF:

   - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

   - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
     a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
     entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
     program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
     value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
     tetragon and bpftrace.

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
         - support XDP metadata
         - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware

<id>daef47b89efd0b745e8478d69a3ad724bd8b4dc6</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the -D_GNU_SOURCE flag to KHDR_INCLUDES so that it is defined in a
central location.

Commit 809216233555 ("selftests/harness: remove use of LINE_MAX")
introduced asprintf into kselftest_harness.h, which is a GNU extension
and needs _GNU_SOURCE to either be defined prior to including headers or
with the -D_GNU_SOURCE flag passed to the compiler.

We created a separate directory for HW-only tests, recently.
Glue in the Python test library there, Python is a bit annoying

Introduce initial tests for virtio_net driver. Focus on feature testing
leveraging previously introduced debugfs feature filtering
infrastructure. Add very basic ping and F_MAC feature tests.

To run this, do:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=drivers/net/virtio_net/ run_tests

Run it on a system with 2 virtio_net devices connected back-to-back
on the hypervisor.

Add drivers/net as a target for mixed-use tests.
The setup is expected to work similarly to the forwarding tests.
Since we only need one interface (unlike forwarding tests)
read the target device name from NETIF. If not present we'll
try to run the test against netdevsim.

Add glue code for accessing the YNL library which lives under
tools/net and YAML spec files from under Documentation/.
Automatically figure out if tests are run in tree or not.
Since we'll want to use this library both from net and
drivers/net test targets make the library a target as well,
and automatically include it when net or drivers/net are
included. Making net/lib a target ensures that we end up
with only one copy of it, and saves us some path guessing.

Add a tiny bit of formatting support to be able to output KTAP
from the start.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.
