      net: dsa: select NET_SWITCHDEV · 3a89eaa6
      Vivien Didelot authored 
      The support for DSA Ethernet switch chips depends on TCP/IP networking,
thus explicit that HAVE_NET_DSA depends on INET.

DSA uses SWITCHDEV, thus select it instead of depending on it.

====================
mlx5 4K UAR

The following series of patches optimizes the usage of the UAR area which is
contained within the BAR 0-1. Previous versions of the firmware and the driver
assumed each system page contains a single UAR. This patch set will query the
firmware for a new capability that if published, means that the firmware can
support UARs of fixed 4K regardless of system page size. In the case of
powerpc, where page size equals 64KB, this means we can utilize 16 UARs per
system page. Since user space processes by default consume eight UARs per
context this means that with this change a process will need a single system
page to fulfill that requirement and in fact make use of more UARs which is
better in terms of performance.

In addition to optimizing user-space processes, we introduce an allocator
that can be used by kernel consumers to allocate blue flame registers
(which are areas within a UAR that are used to write doorbells). This provides
further optimization on using the UAR area since the Ethernet driver makes
use of a single blue flame register per system page and now it will use two
blue flame registers per 4K.

The series also makes changes to naming conventions and now the terms used in
the driver code match the terms used in the PRM (programmers reference manual).
Thus, what used to be called UUAR (micro UAR) is now called BFREG (blue flame
register).

In order to support compatibility between different versions of
library/driver/firmware, the library has now means to notify the kernel driver
that it supports the new scheme and the kernel can notify the library if it
supports this extension. So mixed versions of libraries can run concurrently
without any issues.

      tcp: make TCP_INFO more consistent · b369e7fd
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      tcp_get_info() has to lock the socket, so lets lock it
for an extended critical section, so that various fields
have consistent values.

This solves an annoying issue that some applications
reported when multiple counters are updated during one
particular rx/rx event, and TCP_INFO was called from
another cpu.

      since ARG_PTR_TO_STACK is no longer just pointer to stack
rename it to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM and adjust comment.

      bpf: allow helpers access to variable memory · 06c1c049
      Gianluca Borello authored 
      Currently, helpers that read and write from/to the stack can do so using
a pair of arguments of type ARG_PTR_TO_STACK and ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE.
ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE accepts a constant register of type CONST_IMM, so
that the verifier can safely check the memory access. However, requiring
the argument to be a constant can be limiting in some circumstances.

Since the current logic keeps track of the minimum and maximum value of
a register throughout the simulated execution, ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE can
be changed to also accept an UNKNOWN_VALUE register in case its
boundaries have been set and the range doesn't cause invalid memory
accesses.

One common situation when this is useful:

int len;
char buf[BUFSIZE]; /* BUFSIZE is 128 */

if (some_condition)
	len = 42;
else
	len = 84;

some_helper(..., buf, len & (BUFSIZE - 1));

The compiler can often decide to assign the constant values 42 or 48
into a variable on the stack, instead of keeping it in a register. When
the variable is then read back from stack into the register in order to
be passed to the helper, the verifier will not be able to recognize the
register as constant (the verifier is not currently tracking all
constant writes into memory), and the program won't be valid.

However, by allowing the helper to accept an UNKNOWN_VALUE register,
this program will work because the bitwise AND operation will set the
range of possible values for the UNKNOWN_VALUE register to [0, BUFSIZE),
so the verifier can guarantee the helper call will be safe (assuming the
argument is of type ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO, otherwise one more
check against 0 would be needed). Custom ranges can be set not only with
ALU operations, but also by explicitly comparing the UNKNOWN_VALUE
register with constants.

Another very common example happens when intercepting system call
arguments and accessing user-provided data of variable size using
bpf_probe_read(). One can load at runtime the user-provided length in an
UNKNOWN_VALUE register, and then read that exact amount of data up to a
compile-time determined limit in order to fit into the proper local
storage allocated on the stack, without having to guess a suboptimal
access size at compile time.

Also, in case the helpers accepting the UNKNOWN_VALUE register operate
in raw mode, disable the raw mode so that the program is required to
initialize all memory, since there is no guarantee the helper will fill
it completely, leaving possibilities for data leak (just relevant when
the memory used by the helper is the stack, not when using a pointer to
map element value or packet). In other words, ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK will
be treated as ARG_PTR_TO_STACK.
