It is illegal to change arbitrary fields in skb_shared_info if the
skb is cloned.

Before calling skb_zcopy_clear() we need to ensure this rule,
therefore we need to move the test from sk_stream_alloc_skb()
to sk_wmem_free_skb()

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf sk local storage</title>

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb-&gt;sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
  into different bpf running context.

this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).

When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined.  Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
  some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]

Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).

The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production.  Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.

This patch introduces sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use.  The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.

The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update).  bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created.  Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs.  The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.

The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage".  This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.

The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
   map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
   when the map is freed.

sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage").  When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage-&gt;list.  The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.

To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset.  At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have.  Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage-&gt;list is cached in
sk_storage-&gt;cache[] which is a stable sized array.  Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.

The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map.  On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot.  The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty.  16 has enough runway to grow.

All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.

bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete().  The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument.  The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk.  It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag.  An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock.  Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.

Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported.  From the userspace syscall
   perspective,  the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
   can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.

   Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
   print the local-storage.

   Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
   be explored later also.

2. The sk-&gt;sk_lock cannot be acquired.  Atomic operations is used instead.
   e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage ptr.
   Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
   synchronization cases and considerations.

3. The mem is charged to the sk-&gt;sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.

Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:

One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)

Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.

Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt.  netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.

<title>net: rework SIOCGSTAMP ioctl handling</title>

<id>c7cbdbf29f488a19982cd9f4a109887f18028bbb</id>
<content type='text'>
The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many
socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same
sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which
results in a lot of duplicate code.

With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this
gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each
socket protocol implementation.

To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in
struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common
sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go
through.

We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize
it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as
timeval and timespec structures.

fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, getpid()) selects the recipient of SIGURG signals
that are delivered when out-of-band data arrives on socket fd.
If an SMC socket program makes use of such an fcntl() call, it fails
in case of fallback to TCP-mode. In case of fallback the traffic is
processed with the internal TCP socket. Propagating field "file" from the
SMC socket to the internal TCP socket fixes the issue.

My recent patch had at least three problems :

1) TX zerocopy wants notification when skb is acknowledged,
   thus we need to call skb_zcopy_clear() if the skb is
   cached into sk-&gt;sk_tx_skb_cache

2) Some applications might expect precise EPOLLOUT
   notifications, so we need to update sk-&gt;sk_wmem_queued
   and call sk_mem_uncharge() from sk_wmem_free_skb()
   in all cases. The SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK flag must also be set.

3) Reuse of saved skb should have used skb_cloned() instead
  of simply checking if the fast clone has been freed.

<title>tcp: add one skb cache for rx</title>

Often times, recvmsg() system calls and BH handling for a particular
TCP socket are done on different cpus.

This means the incoming skb had to be allocated on a cpu,
but freed on another.

This incurs a high spinlock contention in slab layer for small rpc,
but also a high number of cache line ping pongs for larger packets.

A full size GRO packet might use 45 page fragments, meaning
that up to 45 put_page() can be involved.

More over performing the __kfree_skb() in the recvmsg() context
adds a latency for user applications, and increase probability
of trapping them in backlog processing, since the BH handler
might found the socket owned by the user.

This patch, combined with the prior one increases the rpc
performance by about 10 % on servers with large number of cores.

(tcp_rr workload with 10,000 flows and 112 threads reach 9 Mpps
 instead of 8 Mpps)

This also increases single bulk flow performance on 40Gbit+ links,
since in this case there are often two cpus working in tandem :

 - CPU handling the NIC rx interrupts, feeding the receive queue,
  and (after this patch) freeing the skbs that were consumed.

 - CPU in recvmsg() system call, essentially 100 % busy copying out
  data to user space.

Having at most one skb in a per-socket cache has very little risk
of memory exhaustion, and since it is protected by socket lock,
its management is essentially free.

Note that if rps/rfs is used, we do not enable this feature, because
there is high chance that the same cpu is handling both the recvmsg()
system call and the TCP rx path, but that another cpu did the skb
allocations in the device driver right before the RPS/RFS logic.

To properly handle this case, it seems we would need to record
on which cpu skb was allocated, and use a different channel
to give skbs back to this cpu.

On hosts with a lot of cores, RPC workloads suffer from heavy contention on slab spinlocks.

    20.69%  [kernel]       [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
     5.64%  [kernel]       [k] _raw_spin_lock
     3.83%  [kernel]       [k] syscall_return_via_sysret
     3.48%  [kernel]       [k] __entry_text_start
     1.76%  [kernel]       [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
     1.64%  [kernel]       [k] __fget

For each sendmsg(), we allocate one skb, and free it at the time ACK packet comes.

In many cases, ACK packets are handled by another cpus, and this unfortunately
incurs heavy costs for slab layer.

This patch uses an extra pointer in socket structure, so that we try to reuse
the same skb and avoid these expensive costs.

We cache at most one skb per socket so this should be safe as far as
memory pressure is concerned.
