git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a route attribute. - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit). - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler: - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR) - improve inactive flow reporting - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern replacement for the old MD5 option. - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO. - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets. - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown(). - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft. - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode. - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable. - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps limit the number of wakeups. - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire table. - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver. - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks. - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime. - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different filters. - MCTP over I3C. BPF: - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode. - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure: https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/ - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps. - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs of different services. - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs. - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF. - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup(). - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU. - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and fentry/fexit programs. - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs. - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations. - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x. Changes to common code: - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with flexible array members. - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers. Driver API: - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks. - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in network time distribution. - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code. Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE. - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop(). - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses. - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames. - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule(). - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages. Misc: - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric. - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees. - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes. - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers. - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

2023-10-09sched/topology: Change behaviour of the 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl, based ↵Gravatar Shrikanth Hegde 1-1/+2
on the platform The 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl is available for the admin to disable/enable energy aware scheduling(EAS). EAS is enabled only if few conditions are met by the platform. They are, asymmetric CPU capacity, no SMT, schedutil CPUfreq governor, frequency invariant load tracking etc. A platform may boot without EAS capability, but could gain such capability at runtime. For example, changing/registering the cpufreq governor to schedutil. At present, though platform doesn't support EAS, this sysctl returns 1 and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary. Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin. sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled. User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform can do EAS at this moment.

2023-09-05io_uring: add a sysctl to disable io_uring system-wideGravatar Matteo Rizzo 1-0/+29
Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or 2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring instances, which is the current behavior. When 1, io_uring creation is disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for unprivileged processes not in the kernel.io_uring_group group. When 2, calls to io_uring_setup() fail with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski: "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we got it to a reasonable point. Core: - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families Protocols: - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to tcp_rmem[2] - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO) - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig) - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge) - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4 - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7 BPF: - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only) - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs Netfilter: - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking presence of an entry in a map without using the value - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds - Allow updating size of a set - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing Driver API: - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity (i.e. packets coming in and out) - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide common helper routines - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices associated with the PCS layer - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware scheduler offload (taprio) - Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs to fit into the message - Split devlink instance and devlink port operations New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - Synopsys EMAC4 IP support (stmmac) - Marvell 88E6361 8 port (5x1GE + 3x2.5GE) switches - Marvell 88E6250 7 port switches - Microchip LAN8650/1 Rev.B0 PHYs - MediaTek MT7981/MT7988 built-in 1GE PHY driver - WiFi: - Realtek RTL8192FU, 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 2T2R, 300 Mbps - Realtek RTL8723DS (SDIO variant) - Realtek RTL8851BE - CAN: - Fintek F81604 Drivers: - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (100G, ice): - support dynamic interrupt allocation - use meta data match instead of VF MAC addr on slow-path - nVidia/Mellanox: - extend link aggregation to handle 4, rather than just 2 ports - spawn sub-functions without any features by default - OcteonTX2: - support HTB (Tx scheduling/QoS) offload - make RSS hash generation configurable - support selecting Rx queue using TC filters - Wangxun (ngbe/txgbe): - add basic Tx/Rx packet offloads - add phylink support (SFP/PCS control) - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - report TAPRIO packet statistics - Solarflare/AMD: - support matching on IP ToS and UDP source port of outer header - VxLAN and GENEVE tunnel encapsulation over IPv4 or IPv6 - add devlink dev info support for EF10 - Virtual NICs: - Microsoft vNIC: - size the Rx indirection table based on requested configuration - support VLAN tagging - Amazon vNIC: - try to reuse Rx buffers if not fully consumed, useful for ARM servers running with 16kB pages - Google vNIC: - support TCP segmentation of >64kB frames - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - enable USXGMII (88E6191X) - Microchip: - lan966x: add support for Egress Stage 0 ACL engine - lan966x: support mapping packet priority to internal switch priority (based on PCP or DSCP) - Ethernet PHYs: - Broadcom PHYs: - support for Wake-on-LAN for BCM54210E/B50212E - report LPI counter - Microsemi PHYs: support RGMII delay configuration (VSC85xx) - Micrel PHYs: receive timestamp in the frame (LAN8841) - Realtek PHYs: support optional external PHY clock - Altera TSE PCS: merge the driver into Lynx PCS which it is a variant of - CAN: Kvaser PCIEcan: - support packet timestamping - WiFi: - Intel (iwlwifi): - major update for new firmware and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) - configuration rework to drop test devices and split the different families - support for segmented PNVM images and power tables - new vendor entries for PPAG (platform antenna gain) feature - Qualcomm 802.11ax (ath11k): - Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier (MBSSID) and Enhanced MBSSID Advertisement (EMA) support in AP mode - support factory test mode - RealTek (rtw89): - add RSSI based antenna diversity - support U-NII-4 channels on 5 GHz band - RealTek (rtl8xxxu): - AP mode support for 8188f - support USB RX aggregation for the newer chips" * tag 'net-next-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1602 commits) net: scm: introduce and use scm_recv_unix helper af_unix: Skip SCM_PIDFD if scm->pid is NULL. net: lan743x: Simplify comparison netlink: Add __sock_i_ino() for __netlink_diag_dump(). net: dsa: avoid suspicious RCU usage for synced VLAN-aware MAC addresses Revert "af_unix: Call scm_recv() only after scm_set_cred()." phylink: ReST-ify the phylink_pcs_neg_mode() kdoc libceph: Partially revert changes to support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES net: phy: mscc: fix packet loss due to RGMII delays net: mana: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc net: enetc: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc ionic: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc pds_core: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc gve: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc octeon_ep: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc net: usb: qmi_wwan: add u-blox 0x1312 composition perf trace: fix MSG_SPLICE_PAGES build error ipvlan: Fix return value of ipvlan_queue_xmit() netfilter: nf_tables: fix underflow in chain reference counter netfilter: nf_tables: unbind non-anonymous set if rule construction fails ...

2023-02-02kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*Gravatar Ricardo Ribalda 1-0/+18
kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one. This is usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system. Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec. This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded. The sysadmin can set different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels. The value can be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value. With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity enabled, using the following kernel parameters: sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one, even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel lives.

2022-12-01exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oopsGravatar Jann Horn 1-0/+8
Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and this causes a counter to eventually overflow. The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms that much nowadays.) So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing. The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or a text console that oopses will be printed to. In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork() child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per run. (Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock contention.) It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark. 12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

Statistically, in a large deployment regular segfaults may indicate a CPU issue. Currently, it is not possible to find out what CPU the segfault happened on. There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate. Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.

2022-11-10x86/split_lock: Add sysctl to control the misery modeGravatar Guilherme G. Piccoli 1-0/+23
Commit b041b525dab9 ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers") changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode; basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their applications. This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka. unfixable) userspace[1]. Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change. While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary userspace programs through a default configuration that previously worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1]. Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

2022-09-11memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughputGravatar Huang Ying 1-0/+11
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.
