Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Increase size limits for to-be-sent skb frag allocations. This
     allows tun, tap devices and packet sockets to better cope with
     large writes operations

   - Store netdevs in an xarray, to simplify iterating over netdevs

   - Refactor nexthop selection for multipath routes

   - Improve sched class lifetime handling

   - Add backup nexthop ID support for bridge

   - Implement drop reasons support in openvswitch

   - Several data races annotations and fixes

   - Constify the sk parameter of routing functions

   - Prepend kernel version to netconsole message

  Protocols:

   - Implement support for TCP probing the peer being under memory
     pressure

   - Remove hard coded limitation on IPv6 specific info placement inside
     the socket struct

   - Get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale and use an auto-estimated per
     socket scaling factor

   - Scaling-up the IPv6 expired route GC via a separated list of
     expiring routes

   - In-kernel support for the TLS alert protocol

   - Better support for UDP reuseport with connected sockets

   - Add NEXT-C-SID support for SRv6 End.X behavior, reducing the SR
     header size

   - Get rid of additional ancillary per MPTCP connection struct socket

   - Implement support for BPF-based MPTCP packet schedulers

   - Format MPTCP subtests selftests results in TAP

   - Several new SMC 2.1 features including unique experimental options,
     max connections per lgr negotiation, max links per lgr negotiation

  BPF:

   - Multi-buffer support in AF_XDP

   - Add multi uprobe BPF links for attaching multiple uprobes and usdt
     probes, which is significantly faster and saves extra fds

   - Implement an fd-based tc BPF attach API (TCX) and BPF link support
     on top of it

   - Add SO_REUSEPORT support for TC bpf_sk_assign

   - Support new instructions from cpu v4 to simplify the generated code
     and feature completeness, for x86, arm64, riscv64

   - Support defragmenting IPv(4|6) packets in BPF

   - Teach verifier actual bounds of bpf_get_smp_processor_id() and fix
     perf+libbpf issue related to custom section handling

   - Introduce bpf map element count and enable it for all program types

   - Add a BPF hook in sys_socket() to change the protocol ID from
     IPPROTO_TCP to IPPROTO_MPTCP to cover migration for legacy

   - Introduce bpf_me_mcache_free_rcu() and fix OOM under stress

   - Add uprobe support for the bpf_get_func_ip helper

   - Check skb ownership against full socket

   - Support for up to 12 arguments in BPF trampoline

   - Extend link_info for kprobe_multi and perf_event links

  Netfilter:

   - Speed-up process exit by aborting ruleset validation if a fatal
     signal is pending

   - Allow NLA_POLICY_MASK to be used with BE16/BE32 types

  Driver API:

   - Page pool optimizations, to improve data locality and cache usage

   - Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() to avoid the
     need for raw ioctl() handling in drivers

   - Simplify genetlink dump operations (doit/dumpit) providing them the
     common information already populated in struct genl_info

   - Extend and use the yaml devlink specs to [re]generate the split ops

   - Introduce devlink selective dumps, to allow SF filtering SF based
     on handle and other attributes

   - Add yaml netlink spec for netlink-raw families, allow route, link
     and address related queries via the ynl tool

   - Remove phylink legacy mode support

   - Support offload LED blinking to phy

   - Add devlink port function attributes for IPsec

Having __sysret() as an inline function has the unfortunate effect of
adding casts and large constants comparisons after the syscall returns
that significantly inflate some light code that's otherwise syscall-
heavy. Even nolibc-test grew by ~1%.

Let's switch back to a macro for this, and use it only with signed
arguments. Note that it is also possible to design a slightly more
complex macro covering unsigned and pointers but we only have 3 such
syscalls so it is pointless, and these were just addressed not to use
this macro anymore. Now for the argument (the local variable containing
the syscall return value), any negative value is an error, that results
in -1 being returned and errno to be assigned the opposite value.

This may be revisited again in the future if really needed but for now
let's get back to something sane.

The __sysret() function causes some undesirable casts so we'll revert
it. In order to keep it simple it will now only support integer return
values like in the past, so we must basically revert the changes that
were made to these 3 syscalls which return a pointer so that they
simply rely on their own test and the SET_ERRNO() macro.

Silence the following warnings reported by the new -Wall -Wextra options
with pure assembly code.

    In file included from sysroot/powerpc/include/stdio.h:13,
                     from nolibc-test.c:13:
    sysroot/powerpc/include/arch.h: In function '_start':
    sysroot/powerpc/include/arch.h:192:32: warning: unused variable 'r2' [-Wunused-variable]
      192 |         register volatile long r2 __asm__ ("r2") = (void *)&amp;TOC - (void *)_start;

    sysroot/powerpc/include/arch.h:187:97: warning: optimization may eliminate reads and/or writes to register variables [-Wvolatile-register-var]

Since only elfv2 ABI requires to save the TOC/GOT pointer to r2
register, when using elfv1 ABI, the old C code is simply ignored by the
compiler, but the compiler can not ignore the inline assembly code and
will introduce build failure or running segfaults. So, let's further
only add the new assembly code for elfv2 ABI with the checking of
_CALL_ELF == 2.

This allows to generate smaller text/data/dec size.

As the _start_c() function added by crt.h, __stack_chk_init() is called
from _start_c() instead of the assembly _start. So, it is able to mark
it with static now.

This follows the 64-bit PowerPC ABI [1], refers to the slides: "A new
ABI for little-endian PowerPC64 Design &amp; Implementation" [2] and the
musl code in arch/powerpc64/crt_arch.h.

First, stdu and clrrdi are used instead of stwu and clrrwi for
powerpc64.

Second, the stack frame size is increased to 32 bytes for powerpc64, 32
bytes is the minimal stack frame size supported described in [2].

Besides, the TOC pointer (GOT pointer) must be saved to r2.

This works on both little endian and big endian 64-bit PowerPC.

Both syscall declarations and _start code definition are added for
powerpc to nolibc.

Like mips, powerpc uses a register (exactly, the summary overflow bit)
to record the error occurred, and uses another register to return the
value [1]. So, the return value of every syscall declaration must be
normalized to match the __sysret() helper, return -value when there is
an error, otheriwse, return value directly.

Glibc and musl use different methods to check the summary overflow bit,
glibc (sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/sysdep.h) saves the cr register
to r0 at first, and then check the summary overflow bit in cr0:

    mfcr r0
    r0 &amp; (1 &lt;&lt; 28) ? -r3 : r3

    --&gt;

    10003c14:       7c 00 00 26     mfcr    r0
    10003c18:       74 09 10 00     andis.  r9,r0,4096
    10003c1c:       41 82 00 08     beq     0x10003c24
    10003c20:       7c 63 00 d0     neg     r3,r3

Musl (arch/powerpc/syscall_arch.h) directly checks the summary overflow
bit with the 'bns' instruction, it is smaller:

    /* no summary overflow bit means no error, return value directly */
    bns+ 1f
    /* otherwise, return negated value */
    neg r3, r3
    1:

    --&gt;

    10000418:       40 a3 00 08     bns     0x10000420
    1000041c:       7c 63 00 d0     neg     r3,r3

Like musl, Linux (arch/powerpc/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h) uses the
same method for do_syscall_2() too.

Here applies the second method to get smaller size.

Otherwise both gcc and clang may generate warnings about type
mismatches:

sysroot/mips/include/string.h:12:14: warning: mismatch in argument 1 type of built-in function 'malloc'; expected 'unsigned int' [-Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch]
   12 | static void *malloc(size_t len);
      |              ^~~~~~

The compiler provides __SIZE_TYPE__ as the type that corresponds to size_t
(typically "long unsigned int" or "unsigned int"). It was verified to be
available at least since gcc-3.4 and clang-3.8, so from now on we'll use
this definition for size_t.
