netfilter: add netfilter hooks to SRv6 data plane

2021-08-29T23:51:36+00:00

This patch introduces netfilter hooks for solving the problem that
conntrack couldn't record both inner flows and outer flows.

This patch also introduces a new sysctl toggle for enabling lightweight
tunnel netfilter hooks.

given rule / set element element has happened.

netfilter: add new hook nfnl subsystem

2021-06-07T10:41:10+00:00

This nfnl subsystem allows to dump the list of all active netfiler hooks,
e.g. defrag, conntrack, nf/ip/arp/ip6tables and so on.

This helps to see what kind of features are currently enabled in
the network stack.

Sample output from nft tool using this infra:

 $ nft list hook ip input
 family ip hook input {
   +0000000010 nft_do_chain_inet [nf_tables] # nft table firewalld INPUT
   +0000000100 nf_nat_ipv4_local_in [nf_nat]
   +2147483647 ipv4_confirm [nf_conntrack]

netfilter: nf_log_common: merge with nf_log_syslog

2021-03-31T20:34:10+00:00

Remove nf_log_common.  Now that all per-af modules have been merged
there is no longer a need to provide a helper module.

netfilter: nf_log_netdev: merge with nf_log_syslog

netfilter: nf_log_ipv4: rename to nf_log_syslog

2021-03-30T22:37:27+00:00

Netfilter has multiple log modules:
 nf_log_arp
 nf_log_bridge
 nf_log_ipv4
 nf_log_ipv6
 nf_log_netdev
 nfnetlink_log
 nf_log_common

With the exception of nfnetlink_log (packet is sent to userspace for
dissection/logging), all of them log to the kernel ringbuffer.

This is the first part of a series to merge all modules except
nfnetlink_log into a single module: nf_log_syslog.

This allows to reduce code.  After the series, only two log modules remain:
nfnetlink_log and nf_log_syslog. The latter provides the same
functionality as the old per-af log modules.

This renames nf_log_ipv4 to nf_log_syslog.

netfilter: nft_reject: add reject verdict support for netdev

2020-10-31T09:41:00+00:00

Adds support for reject from ingress hook in netdev family.
Both stacks ipv4 and ipv6.  With reject packets supporting ICMP
and TCP RST.

This ability is required in devices that need to REJECT legitimate
clients which traffic is forwarded from the ingress hook.

Joint work with Laura Garcia.

x86: update AS_* macros to binutils >=2.23, supporting ADX and AVX2

2020-04-08T15:12:48+00:00

Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we
can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout.

x86: probe assembler capabilities via kconfig instead of makefile

2020-04-08T15:01:59+00:00

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.

nft_set_pipapo: Introduce AVX2-based lookup implementation

2020-03-15T14:27:45+00:00

If the AVX2 set is available, we can exploit the repetitive
characteristic of this algorithm to provide a fast, vectorised
version by using 256-bit wide AVX2 operations for bucket loads and
bitwise intersections.

In most cases, this implementation consistently outperforms rbtree
set instances despite the fact they are configured to use a given,
single, ranged data type out of the ones used for performance
measurements by the nft_concat_range.sh kselftest.

That script, injecting packets directly on the ingoing device path
with pktgen, reports, averaged over five runs on a single AMD Epyc
7402 thread (3.35GHz, 768 KiB L1D$, 12 MiB L2$), the figures below.
CONFIG_RETPOLINE was not set here.

Note that this is not a fair comparison over hash and rbtree set
types: non-ranged entries (used to have a reference for hash types)
would be matched faster than this, and matching on a single field
only (which is the case for rbtree) is also significantly faster.

However, it's not possible at the moment to choose this set type
for non-ranged entries, and the current implementation also needs
a few minor adjustments in order to match on less than two fields.

A similar strategy could be easily reused to implement specialised

version at a later time.
