Merge tag 'net-next-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core:
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the default value allows for better BIG TCP performances
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded softirq avoidance
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]
- Optimize again the skb struct layout
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple subsystems
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts
BPF:
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized accesses
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap params
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in local storage maps
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr tasks to be stored in BPF maps
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and rbtree
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations
Protocols:
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value indicates the provenance of the IP address
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing resilience to nodes failures
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing schedulers
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This will allow for later better LSM interaction
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are not needed anymore
- WiFi: - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode - HW timestamping support - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy - per-link debugfs for multi-link - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter:
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed instead of being bridged
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default anymore
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device
Driver API:
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other then bridge to use them
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely localized NAPI
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for further code de-duplication and sanitization
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user space
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD controllers

powerpc: drop PowerQUICC II Family ADS platform support
Based on documentation revision dates, this MPC82xx pq2fads system predates the MPC8272-ADS variant by about a year and only has 1/2 the amount of RAM (32MB) -- largely making it useless with a modern v6.x kernel from today.
Similar to the MPC8272-ADS the pq2fads also supported other 82xx CPU variants, had 8MB flash, and like the 8272 ADS platform, was on a fairly large PCB in order to have space for breakout connectors for all features.
These 82xx platforms are two decades old, and originally made for a small group of industry related people in order to assist in new OEM board designs. Given that, it makes sense to remove support today.

powerpc: drop HPCD/MPC8610 evaluation platform support
This evaluation platform was essentially a single core 8641 with integrated graphics/display support - in an effort to reduce chip count on kiosk and similar applications.
Compared to other evaluation platforms considered for removal in other recent commits, this platform was relatively rare. Unlike all the other 10+ platforms, I couldn't find any documentation on it - just a link to downloading the 2007 era BSP in "LTIB" format as was done back then.
With all that in mind, it seems prudent to remove it here in 2023.

powerpc: drop HPC-NET/MPC8641D evaluation platform support
There is no denying that this was an interesting platform in its day. Access to a SMP powerpc platform became a bit more obtainable for folks in the BSP industry in the 2007 era, thanks to this platform.
Add to that the move to the black Antec case vs. the generic white 2005 era case of the MPC8548CDS or the retro 1950s 1/2 height horizontal case of the HPC II, and it was pretty interesting to people like myself then.
However, like all the other evaluation platforms, the overall system was complex out of necessity, as it tried to showcase all possible features and use-cases. That included an AMP option, where you could run two bootloaders and two kernels over two serial consoles. Peripheral sharing got a bit more tricky when you got to the hard disk and similar.
In any case we still have the same circumstance. A relatively rare and expensive evaluation platform that is now 15+ years old and not out there in large numbers in the general public. Removal in 2023 just makes sense.

powerpc: drop MPC832x_MDS platform support
This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System (MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a lower power and lower cost system.
Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place in parallel.
These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given to partners who were planning to make their own boards.
Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this particular platform.

powerpc: drop MPC837x_MDS platform support
This next evolutionary step in the e300 family of Modular Development System (MDS) still has, at its core component, a full length card with a PCI edge. No case. Serial and network connectors were on card, so it could optionally be fitted with plastic stand-offs and run stand-alone off a power brick.
This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS and MPC836x_MDS removed in the prior commits, but with this board variant as yet another evolutionary step. SATA and PCI-e were now available. But overall the form factor and design goals were unchanged.

This 2006 era Modular Development System (MDS) has, at its core component, a full length card with a PCI edge. No case. Serial and network connectors were on card, so it could optionally be fitted with plastic stand-offs and run stand-alone off a power brick.
This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS removed in the prior commit, but with this board variant as an evolutionary step. DDR2 was now an option, and the card edge was revised down to PCI-32 as PCI-64 never got traction. But overall the form factor and design goals were unchanged.
Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place in parallel.
To that end, the BGA CPU was held in place with a mechanical spring loaded pressure assembly (vs. solder) so that early rev silicon could be replaced in the field. Not for COTS deployment!
These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given to partners who were planning to make their own boards.
Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this particular platform.

SPI NOR core changes: * introduce Read While Write support for flashes featuring several banks * set the 4-Byte Address Mode method based on SFDP data * allow post_sfdp hook to return errors * parse SCCR MC table and introduce support for multi-chip devices
SPI NOR manufacturer drivers changes: * macronix: add support for mx25uw51245g with RWW * spansion: - determine current address mode at runtime as it can be changed in a non-volatile way and differ from factory defaults or from what SFDP advertises. - enable JFFS2 write buffer mode for few ECC'd NOR flashes: S25FS256T, s25hx and s28hx - add support for s25hl02gt and s25hs02gt

Merge branch 'riscv-jh7110_initial_dts' into riscv-dt-for-next
Merge Hal's series adding support for the new StarFive JH7110 SoC. There's a few bindings here for core components that were not picked up by the various maintainers for the subsystems (previously Palmer would pick these up via the RISC-V tree) & the first two commits in the branch are shared with the clk tree, since the dts depends on defines in the dt-binding headers.
This is based on -rc2, as the board does not actually boot on -rc1 due to the bug Linus introduced.
