Add a new nsh/ directory. It currently holds only GSO functions but more
will come: in particular, code shared by openvswitch and tc to manipulate
NSH headers.

For now, assume there's no hardware support for NSH segmentation. We can
always introduce netdev-&gt;nsh_features later.

It's time to get rid of IRDA.  It's long been broken, and no one seems
to use it anymore.  So move it to staging and after a while, we can
delete it from there.

To start, move the network irda core from net/irda to
drivers/staging/irda/net/

<title>bpf: sockmap requires STREAM_PARSER add Kconfig entry</title>

SOCKMAP uses strparser code (compiled with Kconfig option
CONFIG_STREAM_PARSER) to run the parser BPF program. Without this
config option set sockmap wont be compiled. However, at the moment
the only way to pull in the strparser code is to enable KCM.

To resolve this create a BPF specific config option to pull
only the strparser piece in that sockmap needs. This also
allows folks who want to use BPF/syscall/maps but don't need
sockmap to easily opt out.

Software implementation of transport layer security, implemented using ULP
infrastructure.  tcp proto_ops are replaced with tls equivalents of sendmsg and
sendpage.

Only symmetric crypto is done in the kernel, keys are passed by setsockopt
after the handshake is complete.  All control messages are supported via CMSG
data - the actual symmetric encryption is the same, just the message type needs
to be passed separately.

For user API, please see Documentation patch.

Pieces that can be shared between hw and sw implementation
are in tls_main.c

<title>bpf: make jited programs visible in traces</title>

<id>74451e66d516c55e309e8d89a4a1e7596e46aacd</id>
<content type='text'>
Long standing issue with JITed programs is that stack traces from
function tracing check whether a given address is kernel code
through {__,}kernel_text_address(), which checks for code in core
kernel, modules and dynamically allocated ftrace trampolines. But
what is still missing is BPF JITed programs (interpreted programs
are not an issue as __bpf_prog_run() will be attributed to them),
thus when a stack trace is triggered, the code walking the stack
won't see any of the JITed ones. The same for address correlation
done from user space via reading /proc/kallsyms. This is read by
tools like perf, but the latter is also useful for permanent live
tracing with eBPF itself in combination with stack maps when other
eBPF types are part of the callchain. See offwaketime example on
dumping stack from a map.

This work tries to tackle that issue by making the addresses and
symbols known to the kernel. The lookup from *kernel_text_address()
is implemented through a latched RB tree that can be read under
RCU in fast-path that is also shared for symbol/size/offset lookup
for a specific given address in kallsyms. The slow-path iteration
through all symbols in the seq file done via RCU list, which holds
a tiny fraction of all exported ksyms, usually below 0.1 percent.
Function symbols are exported as bpf_prog_&lt;tag&gt;, in order to aide
debugging and attribution. This facility is currently enabled for
root-only when bpf_jit_kallsyms is set to 1, and disabled if hardening
is active in any mode. The rationale behind this is that still a lot
of systems ship with world read permissions on kallsyms thus addresses
should not get suddenly exposed for them. If that situation gets
much better in future, we always have the option to change the
default on this. Likewise, unprivileged programs are not allowed
to add entries there either, but that is less of a concern as most
such programs types relevant in this context are for root-only anyway.
If enabled, call graphs and stack traces will then show a correct
attribution; one example is illustrated below, where the trace is
now visible in tooling such as perf script --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms
and friends.

 - ife_encode: encode skb and reserve space for the ife meta header
 - ife_decode: decode skb and extract the meta header size
 - ife_tlv_meta_encode - encodes one tlv entry into the reserved ife

 - ife_tlv_meta_decode - decodes one tlv entry from the packet
 - ife_tlv_meta_next - advance to the next tlv

Add a general way for kernel modules to sample packets, without being tied
to any specific subsystem. This netlink channel can be used by tc,
iptables, etc. and allow to standardize packet sampling in the kernel.

For every sampled packet, the psample module adds the following metadata
fields:

PSAMPLE_ATTR_IIFINDEX - the packets input ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_OIFINDEX - the packet output ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_ORIGSIZE - the packet's original size, in case it has been
   truncated during sampling

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_GROUP - the packet's sample group, which is set by the
   user who initiated the sampling. This field allows the user to
   differentiate between several samplers working simultaneously and
   filter packets relevant to him

PSAMPLE_ATTR_GROUP_SEQ - sequence counter of last sent packet. The
   sequence is kept for each group

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_RATE - the sampling rate used for sampling the packets

PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA - the actual packet bits

The sampled packets are sent to the PSAMPLE_NL_MCGRP_SAMPLE multicast
group. In addition, add the GET_GROUPS netlink command which allows the
user to see the current sample groups, their refcount and sequence number.
This command currently supports only netlink dump mode.
