Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core &amp; protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a &gt; 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device &lt;&gt; NAPIs &lt;&gt; queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

   - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
     netlink attribute

Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
   lsm_set_self_attr().

   The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
   third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
   syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
   /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
   simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
   /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
   was allowed to be active at a given time.

   We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
   existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
   even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
   API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
   established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.

   Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
   unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
   is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
   difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
   community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
   continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
   pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
   syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.

   My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
   out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
   support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
   forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
   reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
   for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
   folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
   their concerns.

 - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
   ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.

   This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
   provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
   cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
   Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
   patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.

 - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
   at boot.

   While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
   users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
   then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
   NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.

   Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
   this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
   the best fit.

 - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
   our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.

   I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
   MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
   working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
   they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
   hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
   look after it.

 - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
  via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
  of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.

  The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
  rehashing everything here.

  At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
  do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
  part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
  information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
  retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
  filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.

  Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
  by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
  upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
  should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
  directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.

  The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
  STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
  returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
  id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
  returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
  conflated.

  Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
  id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
  found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
  here as well.

  Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
  struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
  operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
  parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
  ids.

  statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
  that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
  to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
  in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
  indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
  the @mask argument in struct statmount.

  Currently we do support:

   - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
     Basic filesystem info

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
     Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)

   - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
     Propagation from what mount in current namespace

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
     Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
     Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)

   - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
     Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts

  The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
  are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
  in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
  easily.

  The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
  future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
  us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.

  listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
  statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
  64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
  thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
  iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
  sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
  mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
  mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
  the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

When mapping a file on overlayfs, the file stored in -&gt;vm_file is a
backing file whose f_inode is on the underlying filesystem. We need to
verify that /proc/pid/maps contains numbers of the overlayfs file, but
not its backing file.

<content type='text'>
Provide functions to create selftests dedicated to TCP-AO.
They can run in parallel, as they use temporary net namespaces.
They can be very specific to the feature being tested.
This will allow to create a lot of TCP-AO tests, without complicating
one binary with many --options and to create scenarios, that are
hard to put in bash script that uses one binary.

<title>Revert "selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built"</title>

<id>43e8832fed08438e2a27afed9bac21acd0ceffe5</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 9fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built").

It turns out that requiring the kernel headers to be built as a
prerequisite to building selftests, does not work in many cases. For
example, Peter Zijlstra writes:

"My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
'make headers', it doesn't work for me.

I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
(bpf comes to mind)." [1]

Therefore, stop erroring out on the selftests build. Additional patches
will be required in order to change over to not requiring the kernel
headers.

Add selftests for the three system calls supporting the LSM
infrastructure. This set of tests is limited by the differences
in access policy enforced by the existing security modules.
