Merge tag 'net-next-6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
PPPoE).

- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
of the link information available via rtnetlink.

- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
PPS.

- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
driver.

- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
used either for input or output packet processing.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

Netfilter:

- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

BPF:

- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
tetragon and bpftrace.

- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
tracepoints.

- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
state.

- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
APIs.

- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

Driver API:

- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
rule.

- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
config.

- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

Tests and tooling:

- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
machine). Add a few such tests.

- Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
access.

- Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
them "on every commit".

- Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

- Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

- Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

- Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

- Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

Drivers:

- Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
Sloth Tønnesen).

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt):
- support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
- support XDP metadata
- make page pool allocations more NUMA aware
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):

Merge branch 'net-sysctl-sentinel'

Joel Granados says:

====================
sysctl: Remove sentinel elements from networking

What?
These commits remove the sentinel element (last empty element) from the
sysctl arrays of all the files under the "net/" directory that register
a sysctl array. The merging of the preparation patches [4] to mainline
allows us to just remove sentinel elements without changing behavior.
This is safe because the sysctl registration code (register_sysctl() and
friends) use the array size in addition to checking for a sentinel [1].

Why?
By removing the sysctl sentinel elements we avoid kernel bloat as
ctl_table arrays get moved out of kernel/sysctl.c into their own
respective subsystems. This move was started long ago to avoid merge
conflicts; the sentinel removal bit came after Mathew Wilcox suggested
it to avoid bloating the kernel by one element as arrays moved out. This
patchset will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory bloat by about ~64 bytes per declared ctl_table array (more
info here [5]).

When are we done?
There are 4 patchest (25 commits [2]) that are still outstanding to
completely remove the sentinels: files under "net/" (this patchset),
files under "kernel/" dir, misc dirs (files under mm/ security/ and
others) and the final set that removes the unneeded check for ->procname
== NULL.

Testing:
* Ran sysctl selftests (./tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh)
* Ran this through 0-day with no errors or warnings

Savings in vmlinux:
A total of 64 bytes per sentinel is saved after removal; I measured in
x86_64 to give an idea of the aggregated savings. The actual savings
will depend on individual kernel configuration.
* bloat-o-meter
- The "yesall" config saves 3976 bytes (bloat-o-meter output [6])
- A reduced config [3] saves 1263 bytes (bloat-o-meter output [7])

Savings in allocated memory:
None in this set but will occur when the superfluous allocations are
removed from proc_sysctl.c. I include it here for context. The
estimated savings during boot for config [3] are 6272 bytes. See [8]
for how to measure it.

Comments/feedback greatly appreciated

Changes in v6:
- Rebased onto net-next/main.
- Besides re-running my cocci scripts, I ran a new find script [9].
Found 0 hits in net/
- Moved "i" variable declaraction out of for() in sysctl_core_net_init
- Removed forgotten sentinel in mpls_table
- Removed CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE guard from net/ax25/ax25_ds_timer.c. It
is not needed because that file is compiled only when
CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE is set.
- When traversing smc_table, stop on ARRAY_SIZE instead of ARRAY_SIZE-1.

net: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the

will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

* Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
* Remove the zeroing out of an array element (to make it look like a
sentinel) in neigh_sysctl_register and lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register
This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710fe7f9
("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size
to the ctl_table registration.
* Replace the for loop stop condition in sysctl_core_net_init that tests
for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size
* Removed the "-1" in mpls_net_init that adjusted for having an extra
empty element when looping over ctl_table arrays
* Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c
arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help
avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're
going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and
try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each
array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new
sentinel with each array moved.

Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves
of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new
move.

The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl
is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot
of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying
to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels.
Although Joel already has code which does most of this work,
experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be
careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to
the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.

To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major
housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this
merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels
will be done later in future kernel releases.

The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall
build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the
kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each
sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the
kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels
are created"

networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
include/net/ipv6.h
net/ipv6/icmp.c
net/ipv6/route.c
net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c
