Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb-&gt;head, avoid having
     to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.

   - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.

   - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
     describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
     Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.

   - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.

   - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
     boot.

   - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.

   - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.

   - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.

  Protocols:

   - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).

   - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
     on socket by socket basis.

   - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.

   - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
     manager.

   - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
     collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).

   - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).

   - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.

   - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.

   - Remove static WEP support.

   - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
     reporting.

   - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client &amp; AP).

  BPF:

   - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
     precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
     kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

   - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
     timestamp metadata.

   - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
     better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
     metadata.

   - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.

   - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
     bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.

   - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
     kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.

   - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
     livepatch and BPF.

   - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
     programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
     different time intervals.

   - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.

   - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.

   - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.

   - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
     memory accounting for container environments.

  Netfilter:

   - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
     years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
     /proc interface installed by this target.

   - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
     existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
     referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.

  Driver API:

   - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
     IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.

   - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.

   - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.

   - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
     Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
     shared medium Ethernet.

   - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
     preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.

   - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.

   - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
     de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
     multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
     factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.

   - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).

   - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
     messages with notifications for debug.

   - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.

   - Add support for per action HW stats in TC.

   - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
     a specific point in the action chain).

   - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
     modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
     Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
     using nl80211 interface instead.

   - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
     error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
     including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
     CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Support for arm64 SME 2 and 2.1. SME2 introduces a new 512-bit
   architectural register (ZT0, for the look-up table feature) that
   Linux needs to save/restore

 - Include TPIDR2 in the signal context and add the corresponding
   kselftests

 - Perf updates: Arm SPEv1.2 support, HiSilicon uncore PMU updates, ACPI
   support to the Marvell DDR and TAD PMU drivers, reset DTM_PMU_CONFIG
   (ARM CMN) at probe time

 - Support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS on arm64

 - Permit EFI boot with MMU and caches on. Instead of cleaning the
   entire loaded kernel image to the PoC and disabling the MMU and
   caches before branching to the kernel bare metal entry point, leave
   the MMU and caches enabled and rely on EFI's cacheable 1:1 mapping of
   all of system RAM to populate the initial page tables

 - Expose the AArch32 (compat) ELF_HWCAP features to user in an arm64
   kernel (the arm32 kernel only defines the values)

 - Harden the arm64 shadow call stack pointer handling: stash the shadow
   stack pointer in the task struct on interrupt, load it directly from
   this structure

 - Signal handling cleanups to remove redundant validation of size
   information and avoid reading the same data from userspace twice

 - Refactor the hwcap macros to make use of the automatically generated
   ID registers. It should make new hwcaps writing less error prone

 - Further arm64 sysreg conversion and some fixes

 - arm64 kselftest fixes and improvements

 - Pointer authentication cleanups: don't sign leaf functions, unify
   asm-arch manipulation

 - Pseudo-NMI code generation optimisations

 - Minor fixes for SME and TPIDR2 handling

 - Miscellaneous updates: ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER is now selectable,
   replace strtobool() to kstrtobool() in the cpufeature.c code, apply
   dynamic shadow call stack in two passes, intercept pfn changes in
   set_pte_at() without the required break-before-make sequence, attempt

Setting filters on an ftrace ops results in some memory being allocated
for the filter hashes, which must be freed before the ops can be freed.
This can be done by removing every individual element of the hash by
calling ftrace_set_filter_ip() or ftrace_set_filter_ips() with `remove`
set, but this is somewhat error prone as it's easy to forget to remove
an element.

Make it easier to clean this up by exporting ftrace_free_filter(), which
can be used to clean up all of the filter hashes after an ftrace_ops has
been unregistered.

Using this, fix the ftrace-direct* samples to free hashes prior to being
unloaded. All other code either removes individual filters explicitly or
is built-in and already calls ftrace_free_filter().

<title>ftrace: Add DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS</title>
<updated>2023-01-24T11:49:42+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Mark Rutland</name>
<email>mark.rutland@arm.com</email>

<id>cbad0fb2d8d97fa6dd8089c0cc729ced0abacad6</id>
<content type='text'>
Architectures without dynamic ftrace trampolines incur an overhead when
multiple ftrace_ops are enabled with distinct filters. in these cases,
each call site calls a common trampoline which uses
ftrace_ops_list_func() to iterate over all enabled ftrace functions, and
so incurs an overhead relative to the size of this list (including RCU
protection overhead).

Architectures with dynamic ftrace trampolines avoid this overhead for
call sites which have a single associated ftrace_ops. In these cases,
the dynamic trampoline is customized to branch directly to the relevant
ftrace function, avoiding the list overhead.

On some architectures it's impractical and/or undesirable to implement
dynamic ftrace trampolines. For example, arm64 has limited branch ranges
and cannot always directly branch from a call site to an arbitrary
address (e.g. from a kernel text address to an arbitrary module
address). Calls from modules to core kernel text can be indirected via
PLTs (allocated at module load time) to address this, but the same is
not possible from calls from core kernel text.

Using an indirect branch from a call site to an arbitrary trampoline is
possible, but requires several more instructions in the function
prologue (or immediately before it), and/or comes with far more complex
requirements for patching.

Instead, this patch adds a new option, where an architecture can
associate each call site with a pointer to an ftrace_ops, placed at a
fixed offset from the call site. A shared trampoline can recover this
pointer and call ftrace_ops::func() without needing to go via
ftrace_ops_list_func(), avoiding the associated overhead.

This avoids issues with branch range limitations, and avoids the need to
allocate and manipulate dynamic trampolines, making it far simpler to
implement and maintain, while having similar performance
characteristics.

Note that this allows for dynamic ftrace_ops to be invoked directly from
an architecture's ftrace_caller trampoline, whereas existing code forces
the use of ftrace_ops_get_list_func(), which is in part necessary to
permit the ftrace_ops to be freed once unregistered *and* to avoid
branch/address-generation range limitation on some architectures (e.g.
where ops-&gt;func is a module address, and may be outside of the direct
branch range for callsites within the main kernel image).

The CALL_OPS approach avoids this problems and is safe as:

* The existing synchronization in ftrace_shutdown() using
  ftrace_shutdown() using synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() (and
  synchronize_rcu_tasks()) ensures that no tasks hold a stale reference
  to an ftrace_ops (e.g. in the middle of the ftrace_caller trampoline,
  or while invoking ftrace_ops::func), when that ftrace_ops is
  unregistered.

  Arguably this could also be relied upon for the existing scheme,
  permitting dynamic ftrace_ops to be invoked directly when ops-&gt;func is
  in range, but this will require additional logic to handle branch
  range limitations, and is not handled by this patch.

* Each callsite's ftrace_ops pointer literal can hold any valid kernel
  address, and is updated atomically. As an architecture's ftrace_caller
  trampoline will atomically load the ops pointer then dereference
  ops-&gt;func, there is no risk of invoking ops-&gt;func with a mismatches
  ops pointer, and updates to the ops pointer do not require special
  care.

A subsequent patch will implement architectures support for arm64. There
should be no functional change as a result of this patch alone.

Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.

Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names
directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname'
is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility
with other usage cases.

Phase1: mod1--&gt;mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
                |
Phase2:          --&gt;f1--&gt;f2--&gt;f3

Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average,
then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add options to the osnoise tracer:
      - 'panic_on_stop' option that panics the kernel if osnoise is
        greater than some user defined threshold.
      - 'preempt' option, to test noise while preemption is disabled
      - 'irq' option, to test noise when interrupts are disabled

 - Add .percent and .graph suffix to histograms to give different
   outputs

 - Add nohitcount to disable showing hitcount in histogram output

 - Add new __cpumask() to trace event fields to annotate that a unsigned
   long array is a cpumask to user space and should be treated as one.

 - Add trace_trigger kernel command line parameter to enable trace event
   triggers at boot up. Useful to trace stack traces, disable tracing
   and take snapshots.

 - Fix x86/kmmio mmio tracer to work with the updates to lockdep

 - Unify the panic and die notifiers

 - Add back ftrace_expect reference that is used to extract more

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add options to the osnoise tracer:
      - 'panic_on_stop' option that panics the kernel if osnoise is
        greater than some user defined threshold.
      - 'preempt' option, to test noise while preemption is disabled
      - 'irq' option, to test noise when interrupts are disabled

 - Add .percent and .graph suffix to histograms to give different
   outputs

 - Add nohitcount to disable showing hitcount in histogram output

 - Add new __cpumask() to trace event fields to annotate that a unsigned
   long array is a cpumask to user space and should be treated as one.

 - Add trace_trigger kernel command line parameter to enable trace event
   triggers at boot up. Useful to trace stack traces, disable tracing
   and take snapshots.

 - Fix x86/kmmio mmio tracer to work with the updates to lockdep

 - Unify the panic and die notifiers

 - Add back ftrace_expect reference that is used to extract more
   information in the ftrace_bug() code.

 - Have trigger filter parsing errors show up in the tracing error log.

 - Updated MAINTAINERS file to add kernel tracing mailing list and
   patchwork info

 - Use IDA to keep track of event type numbers.

 - And minor fixes and clean ups

The function match_records() may take a while due to a large
number of string comparisons, so when in PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
kernels we could face RCU stalls due to that.

Add a cond_resched() to prevent that.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The highlights this time are support for dynamically enabling and
  disabling Clang's Shadow Call Stack at boot and a long-awaited
  optimisation to the way in which we handle the SVE register state on
  system call entry to avoid taking unnecessary traps from userspace.

  Summary:

  ACPI:
   - Enable FPDT support for boot-time profiling
   - Fix CPU PMU probing to work better with PREEMPT_RT
   - Update SMMUv3 MSI DeviceID parsing to latest IORT spec
   - APMT support for probing Arm CoreSight PMU devices

  CPU features:
   - Advertise new SVE instructions (v2.1)
   - Advertise range prefetch instruction
   - Advertise CSSC ("Common Short Sequence Compression") scalar
     instructions, adding things like min, max, abs, popcount
   - Enable DIT (Data Independent Timing) when running in the kernel
   - More conversion of system register fields over to the generated
     header

  CPU misfeatures:
   - Workaround for Cortex-A715 erratum #2645198

  Dynamic SCS:
   - Support for dynamic shadow call stacks to allow switching at
     runtime between Clang's SCS implementation and the CPU's pointer
     authentication feature when it is supported (complete with scary
     DWARF parser!)

  Tracing and debug:
   - Remove static ftrace in favour of, err, dynamic ftrace!
   - Seperate 'struct ftrace_regs' from 'struct pt_regs' in core ftrace
     and existing arch code
   - Introduce and implement FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on arm64 to replace the
     old FTRACE_WITH_REGS
   - Extend 'crashkernel=' parameter with default value and fallback to
     placement above 4G physical if initial (low) allocation fails

  SVE:
   - Optimisation to avoid disabling SVE unconditionally on syscall
     entry and just zeroing the non-shared state on return instead

  Exceptions:
   - Rework of undefined instruction handling to avoid serialisation on
     global lock (this includes emulation of user accesses to the ID
     registers)

  Perf and PMU:
   - Support for TLP filters in Hisilicon's PCIe PMU device
   - Support for the DDR PMU present in Amlogic Meson G12 SoCs
   - Support for the terribly-named "CoreSight PMU" architecture from
     Arm (and Nvidia's implementation of said architecture)

  Misc:
   - Tighten up our boot protocol for systems with memory above 52 bits
     physical
   - Const-ify static keys to satisty jump label asm constraints
   - Trivial FFA driver cleanups in preparation for v1.1 support
   - Export the kernel_neon_* APIs as GPL symbols
   - Harden our instruction generation routines against instrumentation
   - A bunch of robustness improvements to our arch-specific selftests
   - Minor cleanups and fixes all over (kbuild, kprobes, kfence, PMU, ...)"

* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (151 commits)
  arm64: kprobes: Return DBG_HOOK_ERROR if kprobes can not handle a BRK
  arm64: kprobes: Let arch do_page_fault() fix up page fault in user handler
  arm64: Prohibit instrumentation on arch_stack_walk()
  arm64:uprobe fix the uprobe SWBP_INSN in big-endian
  arm64: alternatives: add __init/__initconst to some functions/variables
  arm_pmu: Drop redundant armpmu-&gt;map_event() in armpmu_event_init()
  kselftest/arm64: Allow epoll_wait() to return more than one result
  kselftest/arm64: Don't drain output while spawning children
  kselftest/arm64: Hold fp-stress children until they're all spawned
  arm64/sysreg: Remove duplicate definitions from asm/sysreg.h
