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)

Merge branch 'bpf-resilient-split-btf-followups'
Alan Maguire says:
==================== bpf: resilient split BTF followups
Follow-up to resilient split BTF series [1],
- cleaning up libbpf relocation code (patch 1); - adding 'struct module' support for base BTF data (patch 2); - splitting out field iteration code into separate file (patch 3); - sharing libbpf relocation code with the kernel (patch 4); - adding a kbuild --btf_features flag to generate distilled base BTF in the module-specific case where KBUILD_EXTMOD is true (patch 5); and - adding test coverage for module-based kfunc dtor (patch 6)
Generation of distilled base BTF for modules requires the pahole patch at [2], but without it we just won't get distilled base BTF (and thus BTF relocation on module load) for bpf_testmod.ko.
Changes since v1 [3]:
- fixed line lengths and made comparison an explicit == 0 (Andrii, patch 1) - moved btf_iter.c changes to separate patch (Andrii, patch 3) - grouped common targets in kernel/bpf/Makefile (Andrii, patch 4) - updated bpf_testmod ctx alloc to use GFP_ATOMIC, and updated dtor selftest to use map-based dtor cleanup (Eduard, patch 6)

Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'
Alan Maguire says:
==================== bpf: support resilient split BTF
Split BPF Type Format (BTF) provides huge advantages in that kernel modules
Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'
Alan Maguire says:
==================== bpf: support resilient split BTF
Split BPF Type Format (BTF) provides huge advantages in that kernel modules only have to provide type information for types that they do not share with the core kernel; for core kernel types, split BTF refers to core kernel BTF type ids. So for a STRUCT sk_buff, a module that uses that structure (or a pointer to it) simply needs to refer to the core kernel type id, saving the need to define the structure and its many dependents. This cuts down on duplication and makes BTF as compact as possible.
However, there is a downside. This scheme requires the references from split BTF to base BTF to be valid not just at encoding time, but at use time (when the module is loaded). Even a small change in kernel types can perturb the type ids in core kernel BTF, and - if the new reproducible BTF option is not used - pahole's parallel processing of compilation units can lead to different type ids for the same kernel if the BTF is regenerated.
So we have a robustness problem for split BTF for cases where a module is not always compiled at the same time as the kernel. This problem is particularly acute for distros which generally want module builders to be able to compile a module for the lifetime of a Linux stable-based release, and have it continue to be valid over the lifetime of that release, even as changes in data structures (and hence BTF types) accrue. Today it's not possible to generate BTF for modules that works beyond the initial kernel it is compiled against - kernel bugfixes etc invalidate the split BTF references to vmlinux BTF, and BTF is no longer usable for the module.
The goal of this series is to provide options to provide additional context for cases like this. That context comes in the form of distilled base BTF; it stands in for the base BTF, and contains information about the types referenced from split BTF, but not their full descriptions. The modified split BTF will refer to type ids in this .BTF.base section, and when the kernel loads such modules it will use that .BTF.base to map references from split BTF to the equivalent current vmlinux base BTF types. Once this relocation process has succeeded, the module BTF available in /sys/kernel/btf will look exactly as if it was built with the current vmlinux; references to base types will be fixed up etc.
A module builder - using this series along with the pahole changes - can then build a module with distilled base BTF via an out-of-tree module build, i.e.
make -C . M=path/2/module
The module will have a .BTF section (the split BTF) and a .BTF.base section. The latter is small in size - distilled base BTF does not need full struct/union/enum information for named types for example. For 2667 modules built with distilled base BTF, the average size observed was 1556 bytes (stddev 1563). The overall size added to this 2667 modules was 5.3Mb.
Note that for the in-tree modules, this approach is not needed as split and base BTF in the case of in-tree modules are always built and re-built together.
The series first focuses on generating split BTF with distilled base BTF; then relocation support is added to allow split BTF with an associated distlled base to be relocated with a new base BTF.
Next Eduard's patch allows BTF ELF parsing to work with both .BTF and .BTF.base sections; this ensures that bpftool will be able to dump BTF for a module with a .BTF.base section for example, or indeed dump relocated BTF where a module and a "-B vmlinux" is supplied.
Then we add support to resolve_btfids to ignore base BTF - i.e. to avoid relocation - if a .BTF.base section is found. This ensures the .BTF.ids section is populated with ids relative to the distilled base (these will be relocated as part of module load).
Finally the series supports storage of .BTF.base data/size in modules and supports sharing of relocation code with the kernel to allow relocation of module BTF. For the kernel, this relocation process happens at module load time, and we relocate split BTF references to point at types in the current vmlinux BTF. As part of this, .BTF.ids references need to be mapped also.
So concretely, what happens is
- we generate split BTF in the .BTF section of a module that refers to types in the .BTF.base section as base types; the latter are not full type descriptions but provide information about the base type. So a STRUCT sk_buff would be represented as a FWD struct sk_buff in distilled base BTF for example. - when the module is loaded, the split BTF is relocated with vmlinux BTF; in the case of the FWD struct sk_buff, we find the STRUCT sk_buff in vmlinux BTF and map all split BTF references to the distilled base FWD sk_buff, replacing them with references to the vmlinux BTF STRUCT sk_buff.
A previous approach to this problem [1] utilized standalone BTF for such cases - where the BTF is not defined relative to base BTF so there is no relocation required. The problem with that approach is that from the verifier perspective, some types are special, and having a custom representation of a core kernel type that did not necessarily match the current representation is not tenable. So the approach taken here was to preserve the split BTF model while minimizing the representation of the context needed to relocate split and current vmlinux BTF.
To generate distilled .BTF.base sections the associated dwarves patch (to be applied on the "next" branch there) is needed [3] Without it, things will still work but modules will not be built with a .BTF.base section.
Changes since v5[4]:
- Update search of distilled types to return the first occurrence of a string (or a string+size pair); this allows us to iterate over all matches in distilled base BTF (Andrii, patch 3) - Update to use BTF field iterators (Andrii, patches 1, 3 and 8) - Update tests to cover multiple match and associated error cases (Eduard, patch 4) - Rename elf_sections_info to btf_elf_secs, remove use of libbpf_get_error(), reset btf->owns_base when relocation succeeds (Andrii, patch 5)
Changes since v4[5]:
- Moved embeddedness, duplicate name checks to relocation time and record struct/union size for all distilled struct/unions instead of using forwards. This allows us to carry out type compatibility checks based on the base BTF we want to relocate with (Eduard, patches 1, 3) - Moved to using qsort() instead of qsort_r() as support for qsort_r() appears to be missing in Android libc (Andrii, patch 3) - Sorting/searching now incorporates size matching depending on BTF kind and embeddedness of struct/union (Eduard, Andrii, patch 3) - Improved naming of various types during relocation to avoid confusion (Andrii, patch 3) - Incorporated Eduard's patch (patch 5) which handles .BTF.base sections internally in btf_parse_elf(). This makes ELF parsing work with split BTF, split BTF with a distilled base, split BTF with a distilled base _and_ base BTF (by relocating) etc. Having this avoids the need for bpftool changes; it will work as-is with .BTF.base sections (Eduard, patch 4) - Updated resolve_btfids to _not_ relocate BTF for modules where a .BTF.base section is present; in that one case we do not want to relocate BTF as the .BTF.ids section should reflect ids in .BTF.base which will later be relocated on module load (Eduard, Andrii, patch 5)
Changes since v3[6]:
- distill now checks for duplicate-named struct/unions and records them as a sized struct/union to help identify which of the multiple base BTF structs/unions it refers to (Eduard, patch 1) - added test support for multiple name handling (Eduard, patch 2) - simplified the string mapping when updating split BTF to use base BTF instead of distilled base. Since the only string references split BTF can make to base BTF are the names of the base types, create a string map from distilled string offset -> base BTF string offset and update string offsets by visiting all strings in split BTF; this saves having to do costly searches of base BTF (Eduard, patch 7,10) - fixed bpftool manpage and indentation issues (Quentin, patch 11)
Also explored Eduard's suggestion of doing an implicit fallback to checking for .BTF.base section in btf__parse() when it is called to get base BTF. However while it is doable, it turned out to be difficult operationally. Since fallback is implicit we do not know the source of the BTF - was it from .BTF or .BTF.base? In bpftool, we want to try first standalone BTF, then split, then split with distilled base. Having a way to explicitly request .BTF.base via btf__parse_opts() fits that model better.
Changes since v2[7]:
- submitted patch to use --btf_features in Makefile.btf for pahole v1.26 and later separately (Andrii). That has landed in bpf-next now. - distilled base now encodes ENUM64 as fwd ENUM (size 8), eliminating the need for support for ENUM64 in btf__add_fwd (patch 1, Andrii) - moved to distilling only named types, augmenting split BTF with associated reference types; this simplifies greatly the distilled base BTF and the mapping operation between distilled and base BTF when relocating (most of the series changes, Andrii) - relocation now iterates over base BTF, looking for matches based on name in distilled BTF. Distilled BTF is pre-sorted by name (Andrii, patch 8) - removed most redundant compabitiliby checks aside from struct size for base types/embedded structs and kind compatibility (since we only match on name) (Andrii, patch 8) - btf__parse_opts() now replaces btf_parse() internally in libbpf (Eduard, patch 3)
Changes since RFC [8]:
- updated terminology; we replace clunky "base reference" BTF with distilling base BTF into a .BTF.base section. Similarly BTF reconcilation becomes BTF relocation (Andrii, most patches) - add distilled base BTF by default for out-of-tree modules (Alexei, patch 8) - distill algorithm updated to record size of embedded struct/union by recording it as a 0-vlen STRUCT/UNION with size preserved (Andrii, patch 2) - verify size match on relocation for such STRUCT/UNIONs (Andrii, patch 9) - with embedded STRUCT/UNION recording size, we can have bpftool dump a header representation using .BTF.base + .BTF sections rather than special-casing and refusing to use "format c" for that case (patch 5) - match enum with enum64 and vice versa (Andrii, patch 9) - ensure that resolve_btfids works with BTF without .BTF.base section (patch 7) - update tests to cover embedded types, arrays and function prototypes (patches 3, 12)

libbpf: Split BTF relocation
Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds, reparent the split BTF to the base BTF.
Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups. Once sorted, the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check for an equivalent in distilled base BTF. When found, the mapping from distilled -> base BTF id and string offset is recorded. In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION, and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION. Otherwise size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs.
Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.
