It complains about acquiring a local_lock while holding a raw_spin_lock.
It means it should not allocate memory while holding a raw_spin_lock
since it is not safe for RT.
raw_spin_lock is needed because bpf_local_storage supports tracing
context. In particular for task local storage, it is easy to
get a "current" task PTR_TO_BTF_ID in tracing bpf prog.
However, task (and cgroup) local storage has already been moved to
bpf mem allocator which can be used after raw_spin_lock.
The splat is for the sk storage. For sk (and inode) storage,
it has not been moved to bpf mem allocator. Using raw_spin_lock or not,
kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) could theoretically be unsafe in tracing context.
However, the local storage helper requires a verifier accepted
sk pointer (PTR_TO_BTF_ID), it is hypothetical if that (mean running
a bpf prog in a kzalloc unsafe context and also able to hold a verifier
accepted sk pointer) could happen.
This patch avoids kzalloc after raw_spin_lock to silent the splat.
There is an existing kzalloc before the raw_spin_lock. At that point,
a kzalloc is very likely required because a lookup has just been done
before. Thus, this patch always does the kzalloc before acquiring
the raw_spin_lock and remove the later kzalloc usage after the
raw_spin_lock. After this change, it will have a charge and then
uncharge during the syscall bpf_map_update_elem() code path.
This patch opts for simplicity and not continue the old
optimization to save one charge and uncharge.
This issue is dated back to the very first commit of bpf_sk_storage
which had been refactored multiple times to create task, inode, and
cgroup storage. This patch uses a Fixes tag with a more recent
commit that should be easier to do backport.

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.
__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.
Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).
This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.
Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.
Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Miscellaneous scheduler fixes: a reporting fix, a static symbol fix,
and a kernel-doc fix"
* tag 'sched-urgent-2023-09-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/core: Report correct state for TASK_IDLE | TASK_FREEZABLE
sched/fair: Make update_entity_lag() static
sched/core: Add kernel-doc for set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
Sudip Mukherjee reports that the mips sb1250_swarm_defconfig build fails
with the current kernel. It isn't actually MIPS-specific, it's just
that that defconfig does not have CGROUP_SCHED enabled like most configs
do, and as such shows this error:
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_local_stat_show':
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3699:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'cgroup_tryget_css'; did you mean 'cgroup_tryget'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
3699 | css = cgroup_tryget_css(cgrp, ss);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| cgroup_tryget
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3699:13: warning: assignment to 'struct cgroup_subsys_state *' from 'int' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
3699 | css = cgroup_tryget_css(cgrp, ss);
| ^
because cgroup_tryget_css() only exists when CGROUP_SCHED is enabled,
and the cgroup_local_stat_show() function should similarly be guarded by
that config option.
Move things around a bit to fix this all.

should_we_balance() is called in load_balance() to find out if the CPU that
is trying to do the load balance is the right one or not.
With commit:
b1bfeab9b002("sched/fair: Consider the idle state of the whole core for load balance")
the code tries to find an idle core to do the load balancing
and falls back on an idle sibling CPU if there is no idle core.
However, on larger SMT systems, it could be needlessly iterating to find a
idle by scanning all the CPUs in an non-idle core. If the core is not idle,
and first SMT sibling which is idle has been found, then its not needed to
check other SMT siblings for idleness
Lets say in SMT4, Core0 has 0,2,4,6 and CPU0 is BUSY and rest are IDLE.
balancing domain is MC/DIE. CPU2 will be set as the first idle_smt and
same process would be repeated for CPU4 and CPU6 but this is unnecessary.
Since calling is_core_idle loops through all CPU's in the SMT mask, effect
is multiplied by weight of smt_mask. For example,when say 1 CPU is busy,
we would skip loop for 2 CPU's and skip iterating over 8CPU's. That
effect would be more in DIE/NUMA domain where there are more cores.
Testing and performance evaluation
==================================
The test has been done on this system which has 12 cores, i.e 24 small
cores with SMT=4:
lscpu
Architecture: ppc64le
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 96
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-95
Model name: POWER10 (architected), altivec supported
Thread(s) per core: 8
Used funclatency bcc tool to evaluate the time taken by should_we_balance(). For
base tip/sched/core the time taken is collected by making the
should_we_balance() noinline. time is in nanoseconds. The values are
collected by running the funclatency tracer for 60 seconds. values are
average of 3 such runs. This represents the expected reduced time with
patch.
tip/sched/core was at commit:

TL;DR:
Good improvement is seen with schbench. when hackbench and stress_ng
runs for longer good improvement is seen.

Good improvement seen with 24 CPUs. In this case only one CPU is busy,
and no core is idle. Decent improvement with 100% utilization case. no
difference in other utilization.

The pipe cpumask used to serialize opens between the main and percpu
trace pipes is not zeroed or initialized. This can result in
spurious -EBUSY returns if underlying memory is not fully zeroed.
This has been observed by immediate failure to read the main
trace_pipe file on an otherwise newly booted and idle system:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
cat: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe: Device or resource busy

Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase:
``` bash
#!/bin/bash
dmesg -n 7
sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1

echo 7 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event

while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
```
To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.

User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.
- Other minor clean ups.

size via buffer_size_kb.
Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size
rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.

* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default
behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A
work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the
same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the
scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are
becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache
locality while not harming work conservation too much.
Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution
affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the
default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically.
This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed
recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an
eye out.

percpu
* A couple cleanups by Baoquan He and Bibo Mao. The only behavior change
is to start printing messages if we're under the warn limit for failed
atomic allocations.
percpu_counter
* Shakeel introduced percpu counters into mm_struct which caused percpu
allocations be on the hot path [1]. Originally I spent some time
trying to improve the percpu allocator, but instead preferred what
Mateusz Guzik proposed grouping at the allocation site,
percpu_counter_init_many(). This allows a single percpu allocation to
be shared by the counters. I like this approach because it creates a
shared lifetime by the allocations. Additionally, I believe many inits
have higher level synchronization requirements, like percpu_counter
does against HOTPLUG_CPU. Therefore we can group these optimizations
together.

Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.
Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
summary is:
- Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types
- cpm_uart driver updates
- n_gsm updates and fixes
- meson driver updates
- sc16is7xx driver updates
- 8250 driver updates for different hardware types
- qcom-geni driver fixes
- tegra serial driver change
- stm32 driver updates
- synclink_gt driver cleanups
- tty structure size reduction
All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported issues.
The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size reduction
came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style changes and
size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge cycle so that
others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

Since set element reset is not integrated into nf_tables' transaction

For the sake of simplicity, catchall element reset will always generate
a dedicated log entry. This relieves nf_tables_dump_set() from having to
adjust the logged element count depending on whether a catchall element

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
- Add proper multi-LSM support for xattrs in the
security_inode_init_security() hook
Historically the LSM layer has only allowed a single LSM to add an
xattr to an inode, with IMA/EVM measuring that and adding its own as
well. As we work towards promoting IMA/EVM to a "proper LSM" instead
of the special case that it is now, we need to better support the
case of multiple LSMs each adding xattrs to an inode and after
several attempts we now appear to have something that is working
well. It is worth noting that in the process of making this change we
uncovered a problem with Smack's SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr which is also
fixed in this pull request.
- Additional LSM hook constification
Two patches to constify parameters to security_capget() and
security_binder_transfer_file(). While I generally don't make a
special note of who submitted these patches, these were the work of
an Outreachy intern, Khadija Kamran, and that makes me happy;
hopefully it does the same for all of you reading this.
- LSM hook comment header fixes
One patch to add a missing hook comment header, one to fix a minor
typo.
- Remove an old, unused credential function declaration
It wasn't clear to me who should pick this up, but it was trivial,
obviously correct, and arguably the LSM layer has a vested interest
in credentials so I merged it. Sadly I'm now noticing that despite my
subject line cleanup I didn't cleanup the "unsued" misspelling, sigh

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Six audit patches, the highlights are:
- Add an explicit cond_resched() call when generating PATH records
Certain tracefs/debugfs operations can generate a *lot* of audit
PATH entries and if one has an aggressive system configuration (not
the default) this can cause a soft lockup in the audit code as it
works to process all of these new entries.
This is in sharp contrast to the common case where only one or two
PATH entries are logged. In order to fix this corner case without
excessively impacting the common case we're adding a single
cond_rescued() call between two of the most intensive loops in the
__audit_inode_child() function.
- Various minor cleanups
We removed a conditional header file as the included header already
had the necessary logic in place, fixed a dummy function's return
value, and the usual collection of checkpatch.pl noise (whitespace,
brace, and trailing statement tweaks)"

Xiongfeng reported and debugged a self deadlock of the task which initiates
and controls a CPU hot-unplug operation vs. the CFS bandwidth timer.
CPU1 CPU2
T1 sets cfs_quota
starts hrtimer cfs_bandwidth 'period_timer'
T1 is migrated to CPU2
T1 initiates offlining of CPU1
Hotplug operation starts
...
'period_timer' expires and is re-enqueued on CPU1
...
take_cpu_down()
CPU1 shuts down and does not handle timers
anymore. They have to be migrated in the
post dead hotplug steps by the control task.
T1 runs the post dead offline operation
T1 is scheduled out
T1 waits for 'period_timer' to expire
T1 waits there forever if it is scheduled out before it can execute the hrtimer
offline callback hrtimers_dead_cpu().
Cure this by delegating the hotplug control operation to a worker thread on
an online CPU. This takes the initiating user space task, which might be
affected by the bandwidth timer, completely out of the picture.

In commit 0345691b24c0 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.
In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:
if (a && b && c)
warn();
to a three conditional:
if (!a)
return;
if (!b)
return;
if (!c)
return;
warn();
But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:
!local_bh_blocked()
but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:
if (!local_bh_blocked())
return false;
This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c77785 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.
Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.

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.
At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
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.
Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
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"

Summary of the changes worth highlighting from most interesting to boring below:
* Christoph Hellwig's symbol_get() fix to Nvidia's efforts to circumvent the
protection he put in place in year 2020 to prevent proprietary modules from
using GPL only symbols, and also ensuring proprietary modules which export
symbols grandfather their taint. That was done through year 2020 commit
262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE"). Christoph's new
fix is done by clarifing __symbol_get() was only ever intended to prevent
module reference loops by Linux kernel modules and so making it only find
symbols exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). The circumvention tactic used
by Nvidia was to use symbol_get() to purposely swift through proprietary
module symbols and completley bypass our traditional EXPORT_SYMBOL*()
annotations and community agreed upon restrictions.
A small set of preamble patches fix up a few symbols which just needed
adjusting for this on two modules, the rtc ds1685 and the networking enetc
module. Two other modules just needed some build fixing and removal of use
of __symbol_get() as they can't ever be modular, as was done by Arnd on
the ARM pxa module and Christoph did on the mmc au1xmmc driver.
This is a good reminder to us that symbol_get() is just a hack to address
things which should be fixed through Kconfig at build time as was done in
the later patches, and so ultimately it should just go.
* Extremely late minor fix for old module layout 055f23b74b20 ("module: check
for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of module_init_section()") by
James Morse for arm64. Note that this layout thing is old, it is *not*
Song Liu's commit ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with
module_memory"). The issue however is very odd to run into and so there was
no hurry to get this in fast.
* Although the fix did not go through the modules tree I'd like to highlight
the fix by Peter Zijlstra in commit 54097309620e ("x86/static_call: Fix
__static_call_fixup()") now merged in your tree which came out of what
was originally suspected to be a fallout of the the newer module layout
changes by Song Liu commit ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout
with module_memory") instead of module_init_section()"). Thanks to the report
by Christian Bricart and the debugging by Song Liu & Peter that turned to
be noted as a kernel regression in place since v5.19 through commit
ee88d363d156 ("x86,static_call: Use alternative RET encoding").
I highlight this to reflect and clarify that we haven't seen more fallout
from ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory").
* RISC-V toolchain got mapping symbol support which prefix symbols with "$"
to help with alignment considerations for disassembly. This is used to
differentiate between incompatible instruction encodings when disassembling.
RISC-V just matches what ARM/AARCH64 did for alignment considerations and
Palmer Dabbelt extended is_mapping_symbol() to accept these symbols for
RISC-V. We already had support for this for all architectures but it also
checked for the second character, the RISC-V check Dabbelt added was just
for the "$". After a bit of testing and fallout on linux-next and based on
feedback from Masahiro Yamada it was decided to simplify the check and treat
the first char "$" as unique for all architectures, and so we no make
is_mapping_symbol() for all archs if the symbol starts with "$".
The most relevant commit for this for RISC-V on binutils was:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-July/117350.html
* A late fix by Andrea Righi (today) to make module zstd decompression use
vmalloc() instead of kmalloc() to account for large compressed modules. I
suspect we'll see similar things for other decompression algorithms soon.
* samples/hw_breakpoint minor fixes by Rong Tao, Arnd Bergmann and Chen Jiahao

Core
----
- Increase size limits for to-be-sent skb frag allocations. This
allows tun, tap devices and packet sockets to better cope with large
writes operations.
- Store netdevs in an xarray, to simplify iterating over netdevs.
- Refactor nexthop selection for multipath routes.
- Improve sched class lifetime handling.
- Add backup nexthop ID support for bridge.
- Implement drop reasons support in openvswitch.
- Several data races annotations and fixes.
- Constify the sk parameter of routing functions.
- Prepend kernel version to netconsole message.
Protocols
---------
- Implement support for TCP probing the peer being under memory
pressure.
- Remove hard coded limitation on IPv6 specific info placement
inside the socket struct.
- Get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale and use an auto-estimated
per socket scaling factor.
- Scaling-up the IPv6 expired route GC via a separated list of
expiring routes.
- In-kernel support for the TLS alert protocol.
- Better support for UDP reuseport with connected sockets.
- Add NEXT-C-SID support for SRv6 End.X behavior, reducing the SR
header size.
- Get rid of additional ancillary per MPTCP connection struct socket.
- Implement support for BPF-based MPTCP packet schedulers.
- Format MPTCP subtests selftests results in TAP.
- Several new SMC 2.1 features including unique experimental options,
max connections per lgr negotiation, max links per lgr negotiation.
BPF
---
- Multi-buffer support in AF_XDP.
- Add multi uprobe BPF links for attaching multiple uprobes
and usdt probes, which is significantly faster and saves extra fds.
- Implement an fd-based tc BPF attach API (TCX) and BPF link support on
top of it.
- Add SO_REUSEPORT support for TC bpf_sk_assign.
- Support new instructions from cpu v4 to simplify the generated code and
feature completeness, for x86, arm64, riscv64.
- Support defragmenting IPv(4|6) packets in BPF.
- Teach verifier actual bounds of bpf_get_smp_processor_id()
and fix perf+libbpf issue related to custom section handling.
- Introduce bpf map element count and enable it for all program types.
- Add a BPF hook in sys_socket() to change the protocol ID
from IPPROTO_TCP to IPPROTO_MPTCP to cover migration for legacy.
- Introduce bpf_me_mcache_free_rcu() and fix OOM under stress.
- Add uprobe support for the bpf_get_func_ip helper.
- Check skb ownership against full socket.
- Support for up to 12 arguments in BPF trampoline.
- Extend link_info for kprobe_multi and perf_event links.
Netfilter
---------
- Speed-up process exit by aborting ruleset validation if a
fatal signal is pending.
- Allow NLA_POLICY_MASK to be used with BE16/BE32 types.
Driver API
----------
- Page pool optimizations, to improve data locality and cache usage.
- Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() to avoid the need
for raw ioctl() handling in drivers.
- Simplify genetlink dump operations (doit/dumpit) providing them
the common information already populated in struct genl_info.
- Extend and use the yaml devlink specs to [re]generate the split ops.
- Introduce devlink selective dumps, to allow SF filtering SF based on
handle and other attributes.
- Add yaml netlink spec for netlink-raw families, allow route, link and
address related queries via the ynl tool.
- Remove phylink legacy mode support.
- Support offload LED blinking to phy.
- Add devlink port function attributes for IPsec.
