      net: bpf: be friendly to kmemcheck · 286aad3c
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Reported by Mikulas Patocka, kmemcheck currently barks out a
      false positive since we don't have special kmemcheck annotation
      for bitfields used in bpf_prog structure.
      
      We currently have jited:1, len:31 and thus when accessing len
      while CONFIG_KMEMCHECK enabled, kmemcheck throws a warning that
      we're reading uninitialized memory.
      
      As we don't need the whole bit universe for pages member, we
      can just split it to u16 and use a bool flag for jited instead
      of a bitfield.

      net: bpf: arm: address randomize and write protect JIT code · 55309dd3
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This is the ARM variant for 314beb9b ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf
      jit against spraying attacks").
      
      It is now possible to implement it due to commits 75374ad4 ("ARM: mm:
      Define set_memory_* functions for ARM") and dca9aa92 ("ARM: add
      DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX option to Kconfig") which added infrastructure for
      this facility.
      
      Thus, this patch makes sure the BPF generated JIT code is marked RO, as
      other kernel text sections, and also lets the generated JIT code start
      at a pseudo random offset instead on a page boundary. The holes are filled
      with illegal instructions.
      
      JIT tested on armv7hl with BPF test suite.

      net: bpf: consolidate JIT binary allocator · 738cbe72
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Introduced in commit 314beb9b ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit
      against spraying attacks") and later on replicated in aa2d2c73
      ("s390/bpf,jit: address randomize and write protect jit code") for
      s390 architecture, write protection for BPF JIT images got added and
      a random start address of the JIT code, so that it's not on a page
      boundary anymore.
      
      Since both use a very similar allocator for the BPF binary header,
      we can consolidate this code into the BPF core as it's mostly JIT
      independant anyway.
      
      This will also allow for future archs that support DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
      to just reuse instead of reimplementing it.
      
      JIT tested on x86_64 and s390x with BPF test suite.

      tcp: remove dst refcount false sharing for prequeue mode · ca777eff
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Alexander Duyck reported high false sharing on dst refcount in tcp stack
      when prequeue is used. prequeue is the mechanism used when a thread is
      blocked in recvmsg()/read() on a TCP socket, using a blocking model
      rather than select()/poll()/epoll() non blocking one.
      
      We already try to use RCU in input path as much as possible, but we were
      forced to take a refcount on the dst when skb escaped RCU protected
      region. When/if the user thread runs on different cpu, dst_release()
      will then touch dst refcount again.
      
      Commit 09316255 (tcp: force a dst refcount when prequeue packet)
      was an example of a race fix.
      
      It turns out the only remaining usage of skb->dst for a packet stored
      in a TCP socket prequeue is IP early demux.
      
      We can add a logic to detect when IP early demux is probably going
      to use skb->dst. Because we do an optimistic check rather than duplicate
      existing logic, we need to guard inet_sk_rx_dst_set() and
      inet6_sk_rx_dst_set() from using a NULL dst.
      
      Many thanks to Alexander for providing a nice bug report, git bisection,
      and reproducer.
      
      Tested using Alexander script on a 40Gb NIC, 8 RX queues.
      Hosts have 24 cores, 48 hyper threads.

      ath5k: Add missing vmalloc.h include. · 32bc6d1a
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      After merging the wireless-next tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
      allyesconfig) failed like this:
      
      drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c: In function 'open_file_eeprom':
      drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c:933:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vmalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
        buf = vmalloc(eesize);
        ^
      drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c:933:6: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
        buf = vmalloc(eesize);

        vfree(buf);
        ^
      
      Caused by commit db906eb2 ("ath5k: added debugfs file for dumping
      eeprom").  Also reported by Guenter Roeck.
      
      I have used Geert Uytterhoeven's suggested fix of including vmalloc.h
      and so added this patch for today:
