livepatch: Move tests from lib/livepatch to selftests/livepatch

The modules are being moved from lib/livepatch to
tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules.

This code moving will allow writing more complex tests, like for example an
userspace C code that will call a livepatched kernel function.

The modules are now built as out-of-tree
modules, but being part of the kernel source means they will be maintained.

Another advantage of the code moving is to be able to easily change,
debug and rebuild the tests by running make on the selftests/livepatch
directory, which is not currently possible since the modules on
lib/livepatch are build and installed using the "modules" target.

The current approach also keeps the ability to execute the tests manually
by executing the scripts inside selftests/livepatch directory, as it's
currently supported. If the modules are modified, they needed to be
rebuilt before running the scripts though.

The modules are built before running the selftests when using the
kselftest invocations:

make kselftest TARGETS=livepatch
or
make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch run_tests

Having the modules being built as out-of-modules requires changing the
currently used 'modprobe' by 'insmod' and adapt the test scripts that
check for the kernel message buffer.

Now it is possible to only compile the modules by running:

make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/

This way the test modules and other test program can be built in order
to be packaged if so desired.

As there aren't any modules being built on lib/livepatch, remove the
TEST_LIVEPATCH Kconfig and it's references.

Note: "make gen_tar" packages the pre-built binaries into the tarball.
It means that it will store the test modules pre-built for
the kernel running on the build host.

Note that these modules need not binary compatible with
the kernel built from the same sources. But the same
is true for other packaged selftest binaries.

The entire kernel sources are needed for rebuilding
the selftests on another system.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.

The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios

The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.

Summary:

- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.

- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.

- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.

- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.

- Support for write-streaming.

- Support for write grouping.

- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.

- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.

- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.

- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

- Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20231228' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:

The main aims of these patches are to get high-level I/O and knowledge of
the pagecache out of the filesystem drivers as much as possible and to get
rid, as much of possible, of the knowledge that pages/folios exist.
Further, I would like to see ->write_begin, ->write_end and
->launder_folio go away.

Features that are added by these patches to that which is already there in
netfslib:

(1) NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O calls to
prevent these from happening at the same time. mmap'd I/O can, of
necessity, happen at any time ignoring these locks.

(2) Support for unbuffered I/O. The data is kept in the bounce buffer and
the pagecache is not used. This can be turned on with an inode flag.

(3) Support for direct I/O. This is basically unbuffered I/O with some
extra restrictions and no RMW.

(4) Support for using a bounce buffer in an operation. The bounce buffer
may be bigger than the target data/buffer, allowing for crypto
rounding.

(5) ->write_begin() and ->write_end() are ignored in favour of merging all
of that into one function, netfs_perform_write(), thereby avoiding the
function pointer traversals.

(6) Support for write-through caching in the pagecache.
netfs_perform_write() adds the pages is modifies to an I/O operation
as it goes and directly marks them writeback rather than dirty. When
writing back from write-through, it limits the range written back.
This should allow CIFS to deal with byte-range mandatory locks
correctly.

(7) O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing to
the pagecache and then flushing afterwards. An AIO O_*SYNC write will
notify of completion when the sub-writes all complete.

(8) Support for write-streaming where modifed data is held in !uptodate
folios, with a private struct attached indicating the range that is
valid.

(9) Support for write grouping, multiplexing a pointer to a group in the
folio private data with the write-streaming data. The writepages
algorithm only writes stuff back that's in the nominated group. This
is intended for use by Ceph to write is snaps in order.

(10) Skipping reads for which we know the server could only supply zeros or
EOF (for instance if we've done a local write that leaves a hole in
the file and extends the local inode size).

General notes:

(1) The fscache module is merged into the netfslib module to avoid cyclic
exported symbol usage that prevents either module from being loaded.

(2) Some helpers from fscache are reassigned to netfslib by name.

(3) netfslib now makes use of folio->private, which means the filesystem
can't use it.

(4) The filesystem provides wrappers to call the write helpers, allowing
it to do pre-validation, oplock/capability fetching and the passing in
of write group info.

(5) I want to try flushing the data when tearing down an inode before
invalidating it to try and render launder_folio unnecessary.

(6) Write-through caching will generate and dispatch write subrequests as
it gathers enough data to hit wsize and has whole pages that at least
span that size. This needs to be a bit more flexible, allowing for a
filesystem such as CIFS to have a variable wsize.

(7) The filesystem driver is just given read and write calls with an
iov_iter describing the data/buffer to use. Ideally, they don't see
pages or folios at all. A function, extract_iter_to_sg(), is already
available to decant part of an iterator into a scatterlist for crypto
purposes.

AFS notes:

(1) I pushed a pair of patches that clean up the trace header down to the
base so that they can be shared with another branch.

9P notes:

(1) Most of xfstests now pass - more, in fact, since upstream 9p lacks a
writepages method and can't handle mmap writes. An occasional oops
(and sometimes panic) happens somewhere in the pathwalk/FID handling
code that is unrelated to these changes.

(2) Writes should now occur in larger-than-page-sized chunks.

(3) It should be possible to turn on multipage folio support in 9P now.

All in all these patches remove a little over 800 lines from AFS, 300
from 9P, albeit with around 3000 lines added to netfs. Hopefully, I will
be able to remove a bunch of lines from Ceph too.

I've split the CIFS patches out to a separate branch, cifs-netfs, where
a further 2000+ lines are removed. I can run a certain amount of
xfstests on CIFS, though I'm running into ksmbd issues and not all the
tests work correctly because of issues between fallocate and what the
SMB protocol actually supports.

I've also dropped the content-crypto patches out for the moment as
they're only usable by the ceph changes which I'm still working on.

The patch to use PG_writeback instead of PG_fscache for writing to the
cache has also been deferred, pending 9p, afs, ceph and cifs all being
converted.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.

Core & protocols:

- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%

- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks

- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination

- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs

- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it

- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations

- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries

- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first

- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

- More data-race annotations

- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

BPF:

- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes

- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id

- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext

- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter

- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

Misc:

- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features

- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

- Add TCP-AO self-tests

- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs

- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

Driver API:

- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust

- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship

- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances

- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform

- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute

- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

====================
net/sched: retire tc ipt action

In keeping up with my status as a hero who removes code: another one bites the
dust.
The tc ipt action was intended to run all netfilter/iptables target.
Unfortunately it has not benefitted over the years from proper updates when
netfilter changes, and for that reason it has remained rudimentary.
Pinging a bunch of people that i was aware were using this indicates that
removing it wont affect them.
Retire it to reduce maintenance efforts.
So Long, ipt, and Thanks for all the Fish.
