Merge tag 'net-next-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.

- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.

- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.

- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.

- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).

- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).

- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

Netfilter:

- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.

- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.

BPF:

- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.

- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.

- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.

- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.

- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.

- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.

Wireless:

- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

Driver API:

- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.

- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

Misc:

- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

- Add a new driver for Marvell's Octeon PCI Endpoint NIC VF.

Merge branch 'net-sched-load-modules-via-alias'

Michal Koutný says:

====================
net/sched: Load modules via alias

These modules may be loaded lazily without user's awareness and
control. Add respective aliases to modules and request them under these
aliases so that modprobe's blacklisting mechanism (through aliases)
works for them. (The same pattern exists e.g. for filesystem
modules.)

For example (before the change):
$ tc filter add dev lo parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
# cls_cgroup module is loaded despite a `blacklist cls_cgroup` entry
# in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

After the change:
$ tc filter add dev lo parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
Error: TC classifier not found.
We have an error talking to the kernel
# explicit/acknowledged (privileged) action is needed
$ modprobe cls_cgroup
# blacklist entry won't apply to this direct modprobe, module is
# loaded with awareness

A considered alternative was invoking `modprobe -b` always from
request_module(), however, dismissed as too intrusive and slightly
confusing in favor of the precedented aliases (the commit 7f78e0351394
("fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.").

User experience suffers in both alternatives. Its improvement is
orthogonal to blacklist honoring.

Merge branch 'net-sched-retpoline'

Pedro Tammela says:

====================
net/sched: retpoline wrappers for tc

In tc all qdics, classifiers and actions can be compiled as modules.
This results today in indirect calls in all transitions in the tc hierarchy.
Due to CONFIG_RETPOLINE, CPUs with mitigations=on might pay an extra cost on
indirect calls. For newer Intel cpus with IBRS the extra cost is
nonexistent, but AMD Zen cpus and older x86 cpus still go through the
retpoline thunk.

Known built-in symbols can be optimized into direct calls, thus
avoiding the retpoline thunk. So far, tc has not been leveraging this
build information and leaving out a performance optimization for some
CPUs. In this series we wire up 'tcf_classify()' and 'tcf_action_exec()'
with direct calls when known modules are compiled as built-in as an
opt-in optimization.

We measured these changes in one AMD Zen 4 cpu (Retpoline), one AMD Zen 3 cpu (Retpoline),
one Intel 10th Gen CPU (IBRS), one Intel 3rd Gen cpu (Retpoline) and one
Intel Xeon CPU (IBRS) using pktgen with 64b udp packets. Our test setup is a
dummy device with clsact and matchall in a kernel compiled with every
tc module as built-in. We observed a 3-8% speed up on the retpoline CPUs,
when going through 1 tc filter, and a 60-100% speed up when going through 100 filters.
For the IBRS cpus we observed a 1-2% degradation in both scenarios, we believe
the extra branches check introduced a small overhead therefore we added
a static key that bypasses the wrapper on kernels not using the retpoline mitigation,
but compiled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE.

[*] In these tests we ran pktgen with clone set to 1000.

On the 7950x system we also tested the impact of filters if iteration order
placement varied, first by compiling a kernel with the filter under test being
the first one in the static iteration and then repeating it with being last (of 15 classifiers existing today).
We saw a difference of +0.5-1% in pps between being the first in the iteration vs being the last.
Therefore we order the classifiers and actions according to relevance per our current thinking.
