Similarly to TCP-MD5, add a static key to TCP-AO that is patched out
when there are no keys on a machine and dynamically enabled with the
first setsockopt(TCP_AO) adds a key on any socket. The static key is as
well dynamically disabled later when the socket is destructed.
The lifetime of enabled static key here is the same as ao_info: it is
enabled on allocation, passed over from full socket to twsk and
destructed when ao_info is scheduled for destruction.

Delete becomes very, very fast - almost free, but after setsockopt()
syscall returns, the key is still alive until next RCU grace period.
Which is fine for listen sockets as userspace needs to be aware of
setsockopt(TCP_AO) and accept() race and resolve it with verification
by getsockopt() after TCP connection was accepted.
The benchmark results (on non-loaded box, worse with more RCU work pending):

Using precalculated traffic keys, sign TCP segments as prescribed by
RFC5925. Per RFC, TCP header options are included in sign calculation:
"The TCP header, by default including options, and where the TCP
checksum and TCP-AO MAC fields are set to zero, all in network-
byte order." (5.1.3)
tcp_ao_hash_header() has exclude_options parameter to optionally exclude
TCP header from hash calculation, as described in RFC5925 (9.1), this is
needed for interaction with middleboxes that may change "some TCP
options". This is wired up to AO key flags and setsockopt() later.
Similarly to TCP-MD5 hash TCP segment fragments.
From this moment a user can start sending TCP-AO signed segments with
one of crypto ahash algorithms from supported by Linux kernel. It can
have a user-specified MAC length, to either save TCP option header space
or provide higher protection using a longer signature.
The inbound segments are not yet verified, TCP-AO option is ignored and
they are accepted.

Be as conservative as possible: if there is TCP-MD5 key for a given peer
regardless of L3 interface - don't allow setting TCP-AO key for the same
peer. According to RFC5925, TCP-AO is supposed to replace TCP-MD5 and
there can't be any switch between both on any connected tuple.
Later it can be relaxed, if there's a use, but in the beginning restrict
any intersection.
Note: it's still should be possible to set both TCP-MD5 and TCP-AO keys
on a listening socket for *different* peers.

2. TCP_AO_DEL_KEY to delete present MKT from a socket
3. TCP_AO_INFO to change flags, Current_key/RNext_key on a TCP-AO sk
Userspace has to introduce keys on every socket it wants to use TCP-AO
option on, similarly to TCP_MD5SIG/TCP_MD5SIG_EXT.
RFC5925 prohibits definition of MKTs that would match the same peer,
so do sanity checks on the data provided by userspace. Be as
conservative as possible, including refusal of defining MKT on
an established connection with no AO, removing the key in-use and etc.
(1) and (2) are to be used by userspace key manager to add/remove keys.
(3) main purpose is to set RNext_key, which (as prescribed by RFC5925)
is the KeyID that will be requested in TCP-AO header from the peer to
sign their segments with.
At this moment the life of ao_info ends in tcp_v4_destroy_sock().

TCP-AO, similarly to TCP-MD5, needs to allocate tfms on a slow-path,
which is setsockopt() and use crypto ahash requests on fast paths,
which are RX/TX softirqs. Also, it needs a temporary/scratch buffer
for preparing the hash.
Rework tcp_md5sig_pool in order to support other hashing algorithms
than MD5. It will make it possible to share pre-allocated crypto_ahash
descriptors and scratch area between all TCP hash users.
Internally tcp_sigpool calls crypto_clone_ahash() API over pre-allocated
crypto ahash tfm. Kudos to Herbert, who provided this new crypto API.
I was a little concerned over GFP_ATOMIC allocations of ahash and
crypto_request in RX/TX (see tcp_sigpool_start()), so I benchmarked both
"backends" with different algorithms, using patched version of iperf3[2].
On my laptop with i7-7600U @ 2.80GHz:
clone-tfm per-CPU-requests
TCP-MD5 2.25 Gbits/sec 2.30 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha1)) 2.53 Gbits/sec 2.54 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha512)) 1.67 Gbits/sec 1.64 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha384)) 1.77 Gbits/sec 1.80 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha224)) 1.29 Gbits/sec 1.30 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(sha3-512)) 481 Mbits/sec 480 Mbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(md5)) 2.07 Gbits/sec 2.12 Gbits/sec
TCP-AO(hmac(rmd160)) 1.01 Gbits/sec 995 Mbits/sec
TCP-AO(cmac(aes128)) [not supporetd yet] 2.11 Gbits/sec
So, it seems that my concerns don't have strong grounds and per-CPU
crypto_request allocation can be dropped/removed from tcp_sigpool once
ciphers get crypto_clone_ahash() support.

The recent firmware interface change has added 2 counters in struct
rx_port_stats_ext. This caused 2 stray ethtool counters to be
displayed.
Since new counters are added from time to time, fix it so that the
ethtool logic will only display up to the maximum known counters.
These 2 counters are not used by production firmware yet.

Page pool code is compiled conditionally, but the operations
are part of the shared netlink family. We can handle this
by reporting empty list of pools or -EOPNOTSUPP / -ENOSYS
but the cleanest way seems to be removing the ops completely
at compilation time. That way user can see that the page
pool ops are not present using genetlink introspection.
Same way they'd check if the kernel is "new enough" to
support the ops.
Extend the specs with the ability to specify the config
condition under which op (and its policies, etc.) should
be hidden.

When we configure the kernel command line with 'mitigations=off' and set
the sysctl knob 'kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled' to 0, the commit
bc5bc309db ("bpf: Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations")
causes issues in the execution of `test_progs -t verifier`. This is
because 'mitigations=off' bypasses Spectre v1 and Spectre v4 protections.
Currently, when a program requests to run in unprivileged mode
(kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0), the BPF verifier may prevent
it from running due to the following conditions not being enabled:
- bypass_spec_v1
- bypass_spec_v4
- allow_ptr_leaks
- allow_uninit_stack
While 'mitigations=off' enables the first two conditions, it does not
enable the latter two. As a result, some test cases in
'test_progs -t verifier' that were expected to fail to run may run
successfully, while others still fail but with different error messages.
This makes it challenging to address them comprehensively.
Moreover, in the future, we may introduce more fine-grained control over
CPU mitigations, such as enabling only bypass_spec_v1 or bypass_spec_v4.
Given the complexity of the situation, rather than fixing each broken test
case individually, it's preferable to skip them when 'mitigations=off' is
in effect and introduce specific test cases for the new 'mitigations=off'
scenario. For instance, we can introduce new BTF declaration tags like
'__failure__nospec', '__failure_nospecv1' and '__failure_nospecv4'.
In this patch, the approach is to simply skip the broken test cases when
'mitigations=off' is enabled. The result of `test_progs -t verifier` as
follows after this commit,

samples/bpf build its own bpftool boostrap to generate vmlinux.h as well
as some BPF objects. This is a redundant step if bpftool has been
already built, so update samples/bpf/Makefile such that it accepts a
path to bpftool passed via the BPFTOOL variable. The approach is
practically the same as tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile uses.

Currently, it is not possible to specify custom flags when building
samples/bpf. The flags are defined in TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS
variables, however, when trying to override those from the make command,
compilation fails.
For example, when trying to build with PIE:
$ make -C samples/bpf TPROGS_CFLAGS="-fpie" TPROGS_LDFLAGS="-pie"
This is because samples/bpf/Makefile updates these variables, especially
appends include paths to TPROGS_CFLAGS and these updates are overridden
by setting the variables from the make command.
This patch introduces variables TPROGS_USER_CFLAGS/TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS
for this purpose, which can be set from the make command and their
values are propagated to TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next. Mostly
nf_tables updates with two patches for connlabel and br_netfilter.
1) Rename function name to perform on-demand GC for rbtree elements,
and replace async GC in rbtree by sync GC. Patches from Florian Westphal.
2) Use commit_mutex for NFT_MSG_GETRULE_RESET to ensure that two
concurrent threads invoking this command do not underrun stateful
objects. Patches from Phil Sutter.
3) Use single hook to deal with IP and ARP packets in br_netfilter.
Patch from Florian Westphal.
4) Use atomic_t in netns->connlabel use counter instead of using a
spinlock, also patch from Florian.
5) Cleanups for stateful objects infrastructure in nf_tables.
Patches from Phil Sutter.
6) Flush path uses opaque set element offered by the iterator, instead of
calling pipapo_deactivate() which looks up for it again.
7) Set backend .flush interface always succeeds, make it return void
instead.
8) Add struct nft_elem_priv placeholder structure and use it by replacing
void * to pass opaque set element representation from backend to frontend
which defeats compiler type checks.
9) Shrink memory consumption of set element transactions, by reducing
struct nft_trans_elem object size and reducing stack memory usage.
10) Use struct nft_elem_priv also for set backend .insert operation too.
11) Carry reset flag in nft_set_dump_ctx structure, instead of passing it
as a function argument, from Phil Sutter.

If the preferred lifetime was less than the minimum required lifetime,
ipv6_create_tempaddr would error out without creating any new address.
On my machine and network, this error happened immediately with the
preferred lifetime set to 1 second, after a few minutes with the
preferred lifetime set to 4 seconds, and not at all with the preferred
lifetime set to 5 seconds. During my investigation, I found a Stack
Exchange post from another person who seems to have had the same
problem: They stopped getting new addresses if they lowered the
preferred lifetime below 3 seconds, and they didn't really know why.
The preferred lifetime is a preference, not a hard requirement. The
kernel does not strictly forbid new connections on a deprecated address,
nor does it guarantee that the address will be disposed of the instant
its total valid lifetime expires. So rather than disable IPv6 privacy
extensions altogether if the minimum required lifetime swells above the
preferred lifetime, it is more in keeping with the user's intent to
increase the temporary address's lifetime to the minimum necessary for
the current network conditions.
With these fixes, setting the preferred lifetime to 3 or 4 seconds "just
works" because the extra fraction of a second is practically
unnoticeable. It's even possible to reduce the time before deprecation
to 1 or 2 seconds by also disabling duplicate address detection (setting
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/dad_transmits to 0). I realize that that is a
pretty niche use case, but I know at least one person who would gladly
sacrifice performance and convenience to be sure that they are getting
the maximum possible level of privacy.
