A bunch of fixes here that came in during the merge window and the first
week of release, plus some new quirks and device IDs. There's nothing
major here, it's a bit bigger than it might've been due to there being
no fixes sent during the merge window due to your vacation.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The zero-copy changes are relatively significant, but regression risk
should be contained. The feature needs to be used to cause trouble.

Also it feels like we got an order of magnitude more semi-automated
"refactoring" chaff than usual, I wonder if it's just us.

Core & protocols:

- Support Device Memory TCP, ability to zero-copy receive TCP
payloads to a DMABUF region of memory while packet headers land
separately in normal kernel buffers, and TCP processes then as
usual.

- The ability to read the PTP PHC (Physical Hardware Clock) alongside
MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps with PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED. Previously
only CLOCK_REALTIME was supported.

- Allow matching on all bits of IP DSCP for routing decisions.
Previously we only supported on matching TOS bits in IPv4 which is
a narrower interpretation of the same header field.

- Increase the range of weights used for multi-path routing from
8 bits to 16 bits.

- Add support for IPv6 PIO p flag in the Prefix Information Option
per draft-ietf-6man-pio-pflag.

- IPv6 IOAM6 support for new tunsrc encap mode for better
performance.

- Detect destinations which blackhole MPTCP traffic and avoid
initiating MPTCP connections to them for a certain period of time,
1h by default.

- Improve IPsec control path performance by removing the inexact
policies list.

- AF_VSOCK: add support for SIOCOUTQ ioctl.

- Add enum for reasons TCP reset was sent for easier tracing.

- Add SMC ringbufs usage statistics.

Drivers:

- Handle netconsole setup failures more gracefully, don't fail
loading, retain the specified target as disabled.

- Extend bonding's IPsec offload pass thru capabilities (ESN, stats).

Filtering:

- Add TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS to bpf_*sockopt() to address the case
when long-lived sockets miss a chance to set additional callbacks
if a sockops program was not attached early in their lifetime.

- Support using BPF skb helpers in tracepoints.

- Conntrack Netlink: support CTA_FILTER for flush.

- Improve SCTP support in nfnetlink_queue.

- Improve performance of large nftables flush transactions.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- selftests: support setting an "interpreter" for script files; make
it easy to run as separate cases tests where one "interpreter" is
fed various test descriptions (in our case packet sequences).

Driver API:

- Extend core and ethtool APIs to support many PHYs connected to a
single interface (PHY topologies).

- Extend cable diagnostics to specify whether Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR) or Active Link Cable Diagnostic (ALCD) was
used.

- Add library for implementing MAC-PHY Ethernet drivers for SPI
devices compatible with Open Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial
Interface (TC6) standard.

- Add helpers to the PHY framework, for PHYs following the Open
Alliance standards:
- 1000BaseT1 link settings
- cable test and diagnostics

- Support listing / dumping all allocated RSS contexts.

- Add configuration for frequency Embedded SYNC in DPLL, which

Merge branch 'netdev_features-start-cleaning-netdev_features_t-up'

Alexander Lobakin says:

====================
netdev_features: start cleaning netdev_features_t up

NETDEV_FEATURE_COUNT is currently 64, which means we can't add any new
features as netdev_features_t is u64.
As per several discussions, instead of converting netdev_features_t to
a bitmap, which would mean A LOT of changes, we can try cleaning up
netdev feature bits.
There's a bunch of bits which don't really mean features, rather device
attributes/properties that can't be changed via Ethtool in any of the
drivers. Such attributes can be moved to netdev private flags without
losing any functionality.

Start converting some read-only netdev features to private flags from
the ones that are most obvious, like lockless Tx, inability to change
network namespace etc. I was able to reduce NETDEV_FEATURE_COUNT from
64 to 60, which mean 4 free slots for new features. There are obviously
more read-only features to convert, such as highDMA, "challenged VLAN",
HSR (4 bits) - this will be done in subsequent series.

Please note that currently netdev features are not uAPI/ABI by any means.
Ethtool passes their names and bits to the userspace separately and there
are no hardcoded names/bits in the userspace, so that new Ethtool could
work on older kernels and vice versa.
This, however, isn't true for Ethtools < 3.4. I haven't changed the bit
positions of the already existing features and instead replaced the freed
bits with stubs. But it's anyway theoretically possible that Ethtools
older than 2011 will break. I hope no currently supported distros supply
such an ancient version.
Shell scripts also most likely won't break since the removed bits were
always read-only, meaning nobody would try touching them from a script.

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):
- extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
- use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF
- add PFCP filter support
- add Ethernet filter support
- use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops
- support 5 layer Tx scheduler topology
- nVidia/Mellanox:
- 800G link modes and 100G SerDes speeds
- per-queue IRQ coalescing configuration
- Marvell Octeon:

Petr Machata says:

====================
selftests: Fixes for kernel CI

As discussed on the bi-weekly call on Jan 30, and in mailing around
kernel CI effort, some changes are desirable in the suite of forwarding
selftests the better to work with the CI tooling. Namely:

- The forwarding selftests use a configuration file where names of
interfaces are defined and various variables can be overridden. There
is also forwarding.config.sample that users can use as a template to
refer to when creating the config file. What happens a fair bit is
that users either do not know about this at all, or simply forget, and
are confused by cryptic failures about interfaces that cannot be
created.

In patches #1 - #3 have lib.sh just be the single source of truth with
regards to which variables exist. That includes the topology variables
which were previously only in the sample file, and any "tweak
variables", such as what tools to use, sleep times, etc.

forwarding.config.sample then becomes just a placeholder with a couple
examples. Unless specific HW should be exercised, or specific tools
used, the defaults are usually just fine.

- Several net/forwarding/ selftests (and one net/ one) cannot be run on
veth pairs, they need an actual HW interface to run on. They are
generic in the sense that any capable HW should pass them, which is
why they have been put to net/forwarding/ as opposed to drivers/net/,
but they do not generalize to veth. The fact that these tests are in
net/forwarding/, but still complaining when run, is confusing.

In patches #4 - #6 move these tests to a new directory
drivers/net/hw.

- The following patches extend the codebase to handle well test results
other than pass and fail.

Patch #7 is preparatory. It converts several log_test_skip to XFAIL,
so that tests do not spuriously end up returning non-0 when they
are not supposed to.

In patches #8 - #10, introduce some missing ksft constants, then support
having those constants in RET, and then finally in EXIT_STATUS.

- The traffic scheduler tests generate a large amount of network traffic
to test the behavior of the scheduler. This demands a relatively
high-performance computer. On slow machines, such as with a debugging
kernel, the test would spuriously fail.

It can still be useful to "go through the motions" though, to possibly
catch bugs in setup of the scheduler graph and passing packets around.
Thus we still want to run the tests, just with lowered demands.

To that end, in patches #11 - #12, introduce an environment variable
KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW, with obvious meaning. Tests can then make checks
more lenient, such as mark failures as XFAIL. A helper, xfail_on_slow,
is provided to mark performance-sensitive parts of the selftest.

- In patch #13, use a similar mechanism to mark a NH group stats
selftest to XFAIL HW stats tests when run on VETH pairs.

- All these changes complicate the hitherto straightforward logging and
checking logic, so in patch #14, add a selftest that checks this
functionality in lib.sh.

v1 (vs. an RFC circulated through linux-kselftest):
- Patch #9:
- Clarify intended usage by s/set_ret/ret_set_ksft_status/,
s/nret/ksft_status/
