This code fix a bug that sk-&gt;sk_txrehash gets its default enable
value from sysctl_txrehash only when the socket is a TCP listener.

We should have sysctl_txrehash to set the default sk-&gt;sk_txrehash,
no matter TCP, nor listerner/connector.

Tested by following packetdrill:
  0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
  +0 socket(..., SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 4
  // SO_TXREHASH == 74, default to sysctl_txrehash == 1
  +0 getsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, 74, [1], [4]) = 0
  +0 getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, 74, [1], [4]) = 0

<title>ip/ip6_gre: Fix non-point-to-point tunnel not generating IPv6 link local address</title>

<content type='text'>
We recently found that our non-point-to-point tunnels were not
generating any IPv6 link local address and instead generating an
IPv6 compat address, breaking IPv6 communication on the tunnel.

Previously, addrconf_gre_config always would call addrconf_addr_gen
and generate a EUI64 link local address for the tunnel.
Then commit e5dd729460ca changed the code path so that add_v4_addrs
is called but this only generates a compat IPv6 address for
non-point-to-point tunnels.

I assume the compat address is specifically for SIT tunnels so
have kept that only for SIT - GRE tunnels now always generate link
local addresses.

<title>ip/ip6_gre: Fix changing addr gen mode not generating IPv6 link local address</title>

<id>23ca0c2c93406bdb1150659e720bda1cec1fad04</id>
<content type='text'>
For our point-to-point GRE tunnels, they have IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_NONE
when they are created then we set IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_EUI64 when they
come up to generate the IPv6 link local address for the interface.
Recently we found that they were no longer generating IPv6 addresses.
This issue would also have affected SIT tunnels.

Commit e5dd729460ca changed the code path so that GRE tunnels
generate an IPv6 address based on the tunnel source address.
It also changed the code path so GRE tunnels don't call addrconf_addr_gen
in addrconf_dev_config which is called by addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode
when the IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE is changed.

This patch aims to fix this issue by moving the code in addrconf_notify
which calls the addr gen for GRE and SIT into a separate function
and calling it in the places that expect the IPv6 address to be
generated.

The previous addrconf_dev_config is renamed to addrconf_eth_config
since it only expected eth type interfaces and follows the
addrconf_gre/sit_config format.

A part of this changes means that the loopback address will be
attempted to be configured when changing addr_gen_mode for lo.
This should not be a problem because the address should exist anyway
and if does already exist then no error is produced.

<title>ipv6: fix reachability confirmation with proxy_ndp</title>

<content type='text'>
When proxying IPv6 NDP requests, the adverts to the initial multicast
solicits are correct and working.  On the other hand, when later a
reachability confirmation is requested (on unicast), no reply is sent.

This causes the neighbor entry expiring on the sending node, which is
mostly a non-issue, as a new multicast request is sent.  There are
routers, where the multicast requests are intentionally delayed, and in
these environments the current implementation causes periodic packet
loss for the proxied endpoints.

The root cause is the erroneous decrease of the hop limit, as this
is checked in ndisc.c and no answer is generated when it's 254 instead
of the correct 255.

<title>treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()</title>

<id>292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);

     complete header processing and crypto offloading

   - IPSec: extended ack support for more descriptive XFRM error
     reporting

   - RXRPC: increase SACK table size and move processing into a
     per-local endpoint kernel thread, reducing considerably the
     required locking

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.

IPv6/TCP and GRO stacks can build big TCP packets with an added
temporary Hop By Hop header.

Is GSO is not involved, then the temporary header needs to be removed in
the driver. This patch provides a generic helper for drivers that need
to modify their headers in place.

Tested:
Compiled and ran with ethtool -K eth1 tso off
Could send Big TCP packets
