7ae457c1e5 net: filter: split 'struct sk_filter' into socket and bpf parts
clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix

split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
	atomic_t        refcnt;
	struct rcu_head rcu;
	struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
        u32                     jited:1,
                                len:31;
        struct sock_fprog_kern  *orig_prog;
        unsigned int            (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
                                            const struct bpf_insn *filter);
        union {
                struct sock_filter      insns[0];
                struct bpf_insn         insnsi[0];
                struct work_struct      work;
        };
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases

split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
    SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
    BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'

__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function

also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:

sk_filter_size -> bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -> bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -> bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -> bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -> bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -> bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -> bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -> bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -> bpf_prepare_filter

API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet

API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

4d276eb6a4 net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software,
hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system
format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining
hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the
kernel.

The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware
support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field
in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers
implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero.

Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing
the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to
avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp.

1bab4c7507 inet: frag: set limits and make init_net's high_thresh limit global
This patch makes init_net's high_thresh limit to be the maximum for all
namespaces, thus introducing a global memory limit threshold equal to the
sum of the individual high_thresh limits which are capped.
It also introduces some sane minimums for low_thresh as it shouldn't be
able to drop below 0 (or > high_thresh in the unsigned case), and
overall low_thresh should not ever be above high_thresh, so we make the
following relations for a namespace:
init_net:
 high_thresh - max(not capped), min(init_net low_thresh)
 low_thresh - max(init_net high_thresh), min (0)

all other namespaces:
 high_thresh = max(init_net high_thresh), min(namespace's low_thresh)
 low_thresh = max(namespace's high_thresh), min(0)

The major issue with having low_thresh > high_thresh is that we'll
schedule eviction but never evict anything and thus rely only on the
timers.

e3a57d18b0 inet: frag: remove periodic secret rebuild timer
merge functionality into the eviction workqueue.

Instead of rebuilding every n seconds, take advantage of the upper
hash chain length limit.

If we hit it, mark table for rebuild and schedule workqueue.
To prevent frequent rebuilds when we're completely overloaded,
don't rebuild more than once every 5 seconds.

ipfrag_secret_interval sysctl is now obsolete and has been marked as
deprecated, it still can be changed so scripts won't be broken but it
won't have any effect. A comment is left above each unused secret_timer
variable to avoid confusion.

b13d3cbfb8 inet: frag: move eviction of queues to work queue
When the high_thresh limit is reached we try to toss the 'oldest'
incomplete fragment queues until memory limits are below the low_thresh
value.  This happens in softirq/packet processing context.

This has two drawbacks:

1) processors might evict a queue that was about to be completed
by another cpu, because they will compete wrt. resource usage and
resource reclaim.

2) LRU list maintenance is expensive.

But when constantly overloaded, even the 'least recently used' element is
recent, so removing 'lru' queue first is not 'fairer' than removing any
other fragment queue.

This moves eviction out of the fast path:

When the low threshold is reached, a work queue is scheduled
which then iterates over the table and removes the queues that exceed
the memory limits of the namespace. It sets a new flag called
INET_FRAG_EVICTED on the evicted queues so the proper counters will get
incremented when the queue is forcefully expired.

When the high threshold is reached, no more fragment queues are
created until we're below the limit again.

The LRU list is now unused and will be removed in a followup patch.

Joint work with Nikolay Aleksandrov.

26c4fdb052 net-timestamp: document deprecated syststamp
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW.
This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new
device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either --
with one exception.

Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a
PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the
HW source.

The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor
can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one
legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed.

This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device
drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

cb1ce2ef38 ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit.
The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will
only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label
manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality
of RFC 6438.

Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior
system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this
functionality per socket.

By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts
with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we
may want to enable it by default.

It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic
flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD,
automatic flow labels default to enabled.

Performance impact:

Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for
IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for
every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case
the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

Automatic flow labels disabled:

  TCP_RR:
    86.53% CPU utilization
    127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40498e+06 tps

  UDP_RR:
    90.70% CPU utilization
    118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies
    1.50309e+06 tps

Automatic flow labels enabled:

  TCP_RR:
    85.90% CPU utilization
    128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40051e+06

9ceb87fcea pktgen: document tuning for max NIC performance
Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring
running full.  Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen.
(Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy"
counters.)

Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due
to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines
TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the
ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs".

Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup
interval.  Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC
tuning for maximum packet per sec performance.

Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000.
TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs":
 (Single CPU performance, E5-2630, ixgbe)
 - 3935002 pps - rx-usecs:  1 (irqs:  9346)
 - 5132350 pps - rx-usecs: 10 (irqs: 99157)
 - 5375111 pps - rx-usecs: 20 (irqs: 50154)
 - 5454050 pps - rx-usecs: 30 (irqs: 33872)
 - 5496320 pps - rx-usecs: 40 (irqs: 26197)
 - 5502510 pps - rx-usecs: 50 (irqs: 21527)

TX ring size adjusting (ethtool -G), "rx-usecs==1" (default):
 - 3935002 pps - tx-size:  512
 - 5354401 pps - tx-size:  768
 - 5356847 pps - tx-size: 1024
 - 5327595 pps - tx-size: 1536
 - 5356779 pps - tx-size: 2048
 - 5353438 pps - tx-size: 4096

Notice after commit 6f25cd47d (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled
devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores
the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag.  This allow us to put
more pressure on the TX ring buffers.

It is the ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx() call that stops the transmits, and
pktgen respecting this in the call to netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq).

d933319657 ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and
may have other uses as well.  The option is disabled by
default.

A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and
hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or
virtual machines.  With proper use of ip rules, routing tables,
veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces,
and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses,
it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple
hosts attached.  The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems,
with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers.  With the
option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly
obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd.

e430f34ee5 net: filter: cleanup A/X name usage
The macro 'A' used in internal BPF interpreter:
 #define A regs[insn->a_reg]
was easily confused with the name of classic BPF register 'A', since
'A' would mean two different things depending on context.

This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:

- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers

- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
        __u8    code;           /* opcode */
        __u8    dst_reg:4;      /* dest register */
        __u8    src_reg:4;      /* source register */
        __s16   off;            /* signed offset */
        __s32   imm;            /* signed immediate constant */
};

- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
  BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
  BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

e9f0fb8849 bonding: Add tlb_dynamic_lb parameter for tlb mode
The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active
flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime
this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less
re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables
this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course
the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing
that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if
the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup.

The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier
behavior.

Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with
4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these
changes. Following was the command used for those 200 instances -

    netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -s 5 -H <host> -- -r81920,81920

Transactions per second:
    Before change: 1,367.11
    After  change: 1,470.65

f05b42eaa2 bonding: Added bond_tlb_xmit() for tlb mode.
Re-organized the xmit function for the lb mode separating tlb xmit
from the alb mode. This will enable use of the hashing policies
like 802.3ad mode. Also extended use of xmit-hash-policy to tlb mode.

Now the tlb-mode defaults to BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER2 if the xmit policy
module parameter is not set (just like 802.3ad, or Xor mode).

4cd3675ebf filter: added BPF random opcode
Added a new ancillary load (bpf call in eBPF parlance) that produces
a 32-bit random number. We are implementing it as an ancillary load
(instead of an ISA opcode) because (a) it is simpler, (b) allows easy
JITing, and (c) seems more in line with generic ISAs that do not have
"get a random number" as a instruction, but as an OS call.

The main use for this ancillary load is to perform random packet sampling.

Bjorn Van Tilt contributes a patch which fixes a memory leak in usb_8dev's
usb_8dev_start_xmit()s error path. A patch by Robert Schwebel fixes a typo in
the can documentation. The remaining patches all target the c_can driver. Two
of them are by me; they add a missing netif_napi_del() and return value
checking. Thomas Gleixner contributes 12 patches, which address several
shortcomings in the driver like hardware initialisation, concurrency, message
ordering and poor performance.

====================
net-next: AF_RXRPC fixes and development

Here are some AF_RXRPC fixes:

 (1) Fix to remove incorrect checksum calculation made during recvmsg().  It's
     unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before
     reading the RxRPC header from the packet.

 (2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another
     ABORT packet and inducing a storm.

 (3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we
     don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size.

And development patches:

 (4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays
     pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for
     which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to
     live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call
     information is cached.

 (5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED
     packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of
     otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production
     (barring the call termination) to half a second.

 (6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum
     packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc
     packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet.

 (7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't
     wait till we fill up the Tx window.

 (8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet
     rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks.

adca476782 net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bug
The original documentation was very unclear.

The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear
documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on
__sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops
from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is
set is pointless.  This should have no user-observable effect.

821047c405 can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 sockets
In commit e2d265d3b5 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets)
CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy
sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application.

After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature
leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the
application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy
CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g.
make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?).

This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with
real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code
together with the documentation describing the removed feature.
