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. Removed: - AppleTalk COPS. - AppleTalk ipddp. - TI AR7 CPMAC Ethernet driver. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - add a driver for the Intel E2000 IPUs - make CRC/FCS stripping configurable - cross-timestamping for E823 devices - basic support for E830 devices - use aux-bus for managing client drivers - i40e: report firmware versions via devlink - nVidia/Mellanox: - support 4-port NICs - increase max number of channels to 256 - optimize / parallelize SF creation flow - Broadcom (bnxt): - enhance NIC temperature reporting - support PAM4 speeds and lane configuration - Marvell OcteonTX2: - PTP pulse-per-second output support - enable hardware timestamping for VFs - Solarflare/AMD: - conntrack NAT offload and offload for tunnels - Wangxun (ngbe/txgbe): - expose HW statistics - Pensando/AMD: - support PCI level reset - narrow down the condition under which skbs are linearized - Netronome/Corigine (nfp): - support CHACHA20-POLY1305 crypto in IPsec offload - Ethernet NICs embedded, slower, virtual: - Synopsys (stmmac): - add Loongson-1 SoC support - enable use of HW queues with no offload capabilities - enable PPS input support on all 5 channels - increase TX coalesce timer to 5ms - RealTek USB (r8152): improve efficiency of Rx by using GRO frags - xen: support SW packet timestamping - add drivers for implementations based on TI's PRUSS (AM64x EVM) - nVidia/Mellanox Ethernet datacenter switches: - avoid poor HW resource use on Spectrum-4 by better block selection for IPv6 multicast forwarding and ordering of blocks in ACL region - Ethernet embedded switches: - Microchip: - support configuring the drive strength for EMI compliance - ksz9477: partial ACL support - ksz9477: HSR offload - ksz9477: Wake on LAN - Realtek: - rtl8366rb: respect device tree config of the CPU port - Ethernet PHYs: - support Broadcom BCM5221 PHYs - TI dp83867: support hardware LED blinking - CAN: - add support for Linux-PHY based CAN transceivers - at91_can: clean up and use rx-offload helpers - WiFi: - MediaTek (mt76): - new sub-driver for mt7925 USB/PCIe devices - HW wireless <> Ethernet bridging in MT7988 chips - mt7603/mt7628 stability improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WCN7850: - enable 320 MHz channels in 6 GHz band - hardware rfkill support - enable IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS to make scan faster - read board data variant name from SMBIOS - QCN9274: mesh support - RealTek (rtw89): - TDMA-based multi-channel concurrency (MCC) - Silicon Labs (wfx): - Remain-On-Channel (ROC) support - Bluetooth: - ISO: many improvements for broadcast support - mark BCM4378/BCM4387 as BROKEN_LE_CODED - add support for QCA2066 - btmtksdio: enable Bluetooth wakeup from suspend" * tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1816 commits) net: pcs: xpcs: Add 2500BASE-X case in get state for XPCS drivers net: bpf: Use sockopt_lock_sock() in ip_sock_set_tos() net: mana: Use xdp_set_features_flag instead of direct assignment vxlan: Cleanup IFLA_VXLAN_PORT_RANGE entry in vxlan_get_size() iavf: delete the iavf client interface iavf: add a common function for undoing the interrupt scheme iavf: use unregister_netdev iavf: rely on netdev's own registered state iavf: fix the waiting time for initial reset iavf: in iavf_down, don't queue watchdog_task if comms failed iavf: simplify mutex_trylock+sleep loops iavf: fix comments about old bit locks doc/netlink: Update schema to support cmd-cnt-name and cmd-max-name tools: ynl: introduce option to process unknown attributes or types ipvlan: properly track tx_errors netdevsim: Block until all devices are released nfp: using napi_build_skb() to replace build_skb() net: dsa: microchip: ksz9477: Fix spelling mistake "Enery" -> "Energy" net: dsa: microchip: Ensure Stable PME Pin State for Wake-on-LAN net: dsa: microchip: Refactor switch shutdown routine for WoL preparation ...
2023-10-15posix-clock: introduce posix_clock_context conceptGravatar Xabier Marquiegui 1-9/+27
Add the necessary structure to support custom private-data per posix-clock user. The previous implementation of posix-clock assumed all file open instances need access to the same clock structure on private_data. The need for individual data structures per file open instance has been identified when developing support for multiple timestamp event queue users for ptp_clock.

2023-10-09alarmtimer: Use maximum alarm time for suspendGravatar Guenter Roeck 1-0/+11
Some userspace applications use timerfd_create() to request wakeups after a long period of time. For example, a backup application may request a wakeup once per week. This is perfectly fine as long as the system does not try to suspend. However, if the system tries to suspend and the system's RTC does not support the required alarm timeout, the suspend operation will fail with an error such as rtc_cmos 00:01: Alarms can be up to one day in the future PM: dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returns -22 alarmtimer alarmtimer.4.auto: platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returned -22 after 117 usecs PM: Device alarmtimer.4.auto failed to suspend: error -22 This results in a refusal to suspend the system, causing substantial battery drain on affected systems. To fix the problem, use the maximum alarm time offset as reported by RTC drivers to set the maximum alarm time. While this may result in early wakeups from suspend, it is still much better than not suspending at all. Standardize system behavior if the requested alarm timeout is larger than the alarm timeout supported by the rtc chip. Currently, in this situation, the RTC driver will do one of the following: - It may return an error. - It may limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the rtc chip. - It may mask the timeout by the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC chip (i.e. a requested timeout of 1 day + 1 minute may result in a 1 minute timeout). With this in place, if the RTC driver reports the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC chip, the system will always limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the RTC chip.

2023-09-29tick/nohz: Update comments some moreGravatar Ingo Molnar 1-76/+74
Inspired by recent enhancements to comments in kernel/time/tick-sched.c, go through the entire file and fix/unify its comments: - Fix over a dozen typos, spelling mistakes & cases of bad grammar. - Re-phrase sentences that I needed to read three times to understand. [ I used the following arbitrary rule-of-thumb: - if I had to read a comment twice, it was usually my fault, - if I had to read it a third time, it was the comment's fault. ] - Comma updates: - Add commas where needed - Remove commas where not needed - In cases where a comma is optional, choose one variant and try to standardize it over similar sentences in the file. - Standardize on standalone 'NOHZ' spelling in free-flowing comments: s/nohz/NOHZ s/no idle tick/NOHZ Still keep 'dynticks' as a popular synonym. - Standardize on referring to variable names within free-flowing comments with the "'var'" nomenclature, and function names as "function_name()". - Standardize on '64-bit' and '32-bit': s/32bit/32-bit s/64bit/64-bit - Standardize on 'IRQ work': s/irq work/IRQ work - A few other tidyups I probably missed to list. No change in functionality intended - other than one small change to a syslog output string.

2023-09-27tick/nohz: Don't shutdown the lowres tick from itselfGravatar Frederic Weisbecker 1-11/+13
In lowres dynticks mode, just like in highres dynticks mode, when there is no tick to program in the future, the tick eventually gets deactivated either: * From the idle loop if in idle mode. * From the IRQ exit if in full dynticks mode. Therefore there is no need to deactivate it from the tick itself. This just just brings more overhead in the idle tick path for no reason.

2023-08-30tick/rcu: Fix false positive "softirq work is pending" messagesGravatar Paul Gortmaker 1-1/+1
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.

Mark the time KUnit test, time64_to_tm_test_date_range, as slow using test attributes. This test ran relatively much slower than most other KUnit tests. By marking this test as slow, the test can now be filtered using the KUnit test attribute filtering feature. Example: --filter "speed>slow". This will run only the tests that have speeds faster than slow. The slow attribute will also be outputted in KTAP.

The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_ coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b. The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the macro while we continue to add annotations. As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with such annotations found via Coccinelle: https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements: - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems. Problem: On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary task migrations. Solution: The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest queue. - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection.

2023-06-18posix-timers: Ensure timer ID search-loop limit is validGravatar Thomas Gleixner 1-13/+18
posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation. This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the starting point. But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out lockless, which leads to the following problem: CPU0 CPU1 posix_timer_add() start = sig->posix_timer_id; lock(hash_lock); ... posix_timer_add() if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0) start = sig->posix_timer_id; sig->posix_timer_id = 0; So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break never happens because the condition can never be true: if (sig->posix_timer_id == start) break; While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness. Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

2023-06-16tick/common: Align tick period during sched_timer setupGravatar Thomas Gleixner 2-13/+13
The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches later to one-shot mode if possible. The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value (tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get(). With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot progress. The system hangs. Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time. [bigeasy: Patch description + testing].

With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible), prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function. Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets noinstr validation efforts. As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in the sched_clock() function. This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of: do { seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq); ... } while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq)); which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough, read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not. This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation. Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0) in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

2023-05-08tick/broadcast: Make broadcast device replacement work correctlyGravatar Thomas Gleixner 1-32/+88
When a tick broadcast clockevent device is initialized for one shot mode then tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() OR's the periodic broadcast mode cpumask into the oneshot broadcast cpumask. This is required when switching from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot broadcast mode to ensure that CPUs which are waiting for periodic broadcast are woken up on the next tick. But it is subtly broken, when an active broadcast device is replaced and the system is already in oneshot (NOHZ/HIGHRES) mode. Victor observed this and debugged the issue. Then the OR of the periodic broadcast CPU mask is wrong as the periodic cpumask bits are sticky after tick_broadcast_enable() set it for a CPU unless explicitly cleared via tick_broadcast_disable(). That means that this sets all other CPUs which have tick broadcasting enabled at that point unconditionally in the oneshot broadcast mask. If the affected CPUs were already idle and had their bits set in the oneshot broadcast mask then this does no harm. But for non idle CPUs which were not set this corrupts their state. On their next invocation of tick_broadcast_enable() they observe the bit set, which indicates that the broadcast for the CPU is already set up. As a consequence they fail to update the broadcast event even if their earliest expiring timer is before the actually programmed broadcast event. If the programmed broadcast event is far in the future, then this can cause stalls or trigger the hung task detector. Avoid this by telling tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() explicitly whether this is the initial switch over from periodic to oneshot broadcast which must take the periodic broadcast mask into account. In the case of initialization of a replacement device this prevents that the broadcast oneshot mask is modified. There is a second problem with broadcast device replacement in this function. The broadcast device is only armed when the previous state of the device was periodic. That is correct for the switch from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot broadcast mode as the underlying broadcast device could operate in oneshot state already due to lack of periodic state in hardware. In that case it is already armed to expire at the next tick. For the replacement case this is wrong as the device is in shutdown state. That means that any already pending broadcast event will not be armed. This went unnoticed because any CPU which goes idle will observe that the broadcast device has an expiry time of KTIME_MAX and therefore any CPUs next timer event will be earlier and cause a reprogramming of the broadcast device. But that does not guarantee that the events of the CPUs which were already in idle are delivered on time. Fix this by arming the newly installed device for an immediate event which will reevaluate the per CPU expiry times and reprogram the broadcast device accordingly. This is simpler than caching the last expiry time in yet another place or saving it before the device exchange and handing it down to the setup function. Replacement of broadcast devices is not a frequent operation and usually happens once somewhere late in the boot process.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

2023-04-26timekeeping: Fix references to nonexistent ktime_get_fast_ns()Gravatar Geert Uytterhoeven 1-2/+2
There was never a function named ktime_get_fast_ns(). Presumably these should refer to ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() instead.
