Merge tag 'net-next-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Not much excitement - a handful of large patchsets (devmem among them)
did not make it in time.

Core & protocols:

- Use local_lock in addition to local_bh_disable() to protect per-CPU
resources in networking, a step closer for local_bh_disable() not
to act as a big lock on PREEMPT_RT

- Use flex array for netdevice priv area, ensure its cache alignment

- Add a sysctl knob to allow user to specify a default rto_min at
socket init time. Bit of a big hammer but multiple companies were
independently carrying such patch downstream so clearly it's useful

- Support scheduling transmission of packets based on CLOCK_TAI

- Un-pin TCP TIMEWAIT timer to avoid it firing on CPUs later cordoned
off using cpusets

- Support multiple L2TPv3 UDP tunnels using the same 5-tuple address

- Allow configuration of multipath hash seed, to both allow
synchronizing hashing of two routers, and preventing partial
accidental sync

- Improve TCP compliance with RFC 9293 for simultaneous connect()

- Support sending NAT keepalives in IPsec ESP in UDP states.
Userspace IKE daemon had to do this before, but the kernel can
better keep track of it

- Support sending supervision HSR frames with MAC addresses stored in
ProxyNodeTable when RedBox (i.e. HSR-SAN) is enabled

- Introduce IPPROTO_SMC for selecting SMC when socket is created

- Allow UDP GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload

- openvswitch: add packet sampling via psample, separating the
sampled traffic from "upcall" packets sent to user space for
forwarding

- nf_tables: shrink memory consumption for transaction objects

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Power Sequencing subsystem (used by Qualcomm Bluetooth driver for
QCA6390) [ Already merged separately - Linus ]

- Add IRQ information in sysfs for auxiliary bus

- Introduce guard definition for local_lock

- Add aligned flavor of __cacheline_group_{begin, end}() markings for
grouping fields in structures

BPF:

- Notify user space (via epoll) when a struct_ops object is getting
detached/unregistered

- Add new kfuncs for a generic, open-coded bits iterator

- Enable BPF programs to declare arrays of kptr, bpf_rb_root, and
bpf_list_head

- Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and
makes BTF as compact as possible WRT BTF from modules

- Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables
both detecting as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs

- riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument
support for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the
latter

- Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer
through kfuncs

Driver API:

- Allow users to configure IRQ tresholds between which automatic IRQ
moderation can choose

- Expand Power Sourcing (PoE) status with power, class and failure
reason. Support setting power limits

- Track additional RSS contexts in the core, make sure configuration
changes don't break them

- Support IPsec crypto offload for IPv6 ESP and IPv4 UDP-encapsulated
ESP data paths

- Support updating firmware on SFP modules

Tests and tooling:

- mptcp: use net/lib.sh to manage netns

- TCP-AO and TCP-MD5: replace debug prints used by tests with
tracepoints

- openvswitch: make test self-contained (don't depend on OvS CLI
tools)

bpf, docs: Address comments from IETF Area Directors

This patch does the following to address IETF feedback:

* Remove mention of "program type" and reference future
docs (and mention platform-specific docs exist) for
helper functions and BTF. Addresses Roman Danyliw's
comments based on GENART review from Ines Robles [0].

* Add reference for endianness as requested by John
Scudder [1].

* Added bit numbers to top of 32-bit wide format diagrams
as requested by Paul Wouters [2].

* Added more text about why BPF doesn't stand for anything, based
on text from ebpf.io [3], as requested by Eric Vyncke and
Gunter Van de Velde [4].

* Replaced "htobe16" (and similar) and the direction-specific
description with just "be16" (and similar) and a direction-agnostic
description, to match the direction-agnostic description in
the Byteswap Instructions section. Based on feedback from Eric
Vyncke [5].

CT zones can be used from XDP/tc BPF netfilter CT helper functions,
from Brad Cowie.

3) Several tweaks to the instruction-set.rst IETF doc to address
the Last Call review comments, from Dave Thaler.

4) Small batch of riscv64 BPF JIT optimizations in order to emit more
compressed instructions to the JITed image for better icache efficiency,
from Xiao Wang.

5) Sort bpftool C dump output from BTF, aiming to simplify vmlinux.h
diffing and forcing more natural type definitions ordering,
from Mykyta Yatsenko.

a syzbot/KCSAN race report for the tx_errors counter,
from Jiang Yunshui.

7) Un-constify bpf_func_info in bpftool to fix compilation with LLVM 17+
which started treating const structs as constants and thus breaking
full BTF program name resolution, from Ivan Babrou.

8) Fix up BPF program numbers in test_sockmap selftest in order to reduce
some of the test-internal array sizes, from Geliang Tang.

9) Small cleanup in Makefile.btf script to use test-ge check for v1.25-only
pahole, from Alan Maguire.

10) Fix bpftool's make dependencies for vmlinux.h in order to avoid needless
rebuilds in some corner cases, from Artem Savkov.

bpf, docs: clarify sign extension of 64-bit use of 32-bit imm

imm is defined as a 32-bit signed integer.

{MOV, K, ALU64} says it does "dst = src" (where src is 'imm') and it
does do dst = (s64)imm,

bpf, docs: clarify sign extension of 64-bit use of 32-bit imm

imm is defined as a 32-bit signed integer.

{MOV, K, ALU64} says it does "dst = src" (where src is 'imm') and it
does do dst = (s64)imm, which in that sense does sign extend imm. The MOVSX
instruction is explained as sign extending, so added the example of
{MOV, K, ALU64} to make this more clear.

{JLE, K, JMP} says it does "PC += offset if dst <= src" (where src is 'imm',
and the comparison is unsigned). This was apparently ambiguous to some
readers as to whether the comparison was "dst <= (u64)(u32)imm" or
"dst <= (u64)(s64)imm" so added an example to make this more clear.

Per IETF convention and discussion at LSF/MM/BPF, use MUST etc.
keywords as requested by IETF Area Director review. Also as
requested, indicate that documenting BTF is out of scope of this
document and will be covered by a separate IETF specification.

Added paragraph about the terminology that is required IETF boilerplate
and must be worded exactly as such.

bpf, docs: Move sentence about returning R0 to abi.rst

As discussed at LSF/MM/BPF, the sentence about using R0 for returning
values from calls is part of the calling convention and belongs in
abi.rs

bpf, docs: Move sentence about returning R0 to abi.rst

As discussed at LSF/MM/BPF, the sentence about using R0 for returning
values from calls is part of the calling convention and belongs in
abi.rst. Any further additions or clarifications to this text are left
for future patches on abi.rst. The current patch is simply to unblock
progression of instruction-set.rst to a standard.

In contrast, the restriction of register numbers to the range 0-10
is untouched, left in the instruction-set.rst definition of the
src_reg and dst_reg fields.
