Similar in nature to ab107276607af90b13a5994997e19b7b9731e251. glibc-2.42
drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some
TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead.

This fixes building Python for example, which falls over like:
  ./Modules/termios.c:1119:16: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'

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

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

<title>af_unix: Introduce SO_INQ.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:df30285b3670bf52e1e5512e4d4482bec5e93c16</id>
<content type='text'>
We have an application that uses almost the same code for TCP and
AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM).

TCP can use TCP_INQ, but AF_UNIX doesn't have it and requires an
extra syscall, ioctl(SIOCINQ) or getsockopt(SO_MEMINFO) as an
alternative.

Let's introduce the generic version of TCP_INQ.

If SO_INQ is enabled, recvmsg() will put a cmsg of SCM_INQ that
contains the exact value of ioctl(SIOCINQ).  The cmsg is also
included when msg-&gt;msg_get_inq is non-zero to make sockets
io_uring-friendly.

Note that SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT is flagged only for SOCK_STREAM to
override setsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET.

By having the flag in struct unix_sock, instead of struct sock, we
can later add SO_INQ support for TCP and reuse tcp_sk(sk)-&gt;recvmsg_inq.

Note also that supporting custom getsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET will need
preparation for other SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT users (UDP, vsock, MPTCP).

<title>alpha: regularize the situation with asm/param.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f65bbf05392b44714ccdcc4b5b1bebfd471d2665</id>
<content type='text'>
The only reason why alpha can't do what sparc et.al. are doing
is that include/asm-generic/param.h relies upon the value of HZ
set for userland header in uapi/asm/param.h being 100.

We need that value to define USER_HZ and we need that definition
to outlive the redefinition of HZ kernel-side.  And alpha needs
it to be 1024, not 100 like everybody else.

So let's add __USER_HZ to uapi/asm-generic/param.h, defaulting to
100 and used to define HZ.  That way include/asm-generic/param.h
can use that thing instead of open-coding it - it won't be affected
by undefining and redefining HZ.

That done, alpha asm/param.h can be removed and uapi/asm/param.h
switched to defining __USER_HZ and EXEC_PAGESIZE and then including
&lt;asm-generic/param.h&gt; - asm/param.h will resolve to uapi/asm/param.h,
which pulls &lt;asm-generic/param.h&gt;, which will do the right thing
both in the kernel and userland contexts.

<id>urn:sha1:77cbe1a6d8730a07f99f9263c2d5f2304cf5e830</id>
<content type='text'>
As long as recvmsg() or recvmmsg() is used with cmsg, it is not
possible to avoid receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS.

This behaviour has occasionally been flagged as problematic, as
it can be (ab)used to trigger DoS during close(), for example, by
passing a FUSE-controlled fd or a hung NFS fd.

For instance, as noted on the uAPI Group page [0], an untrusted peer
could send a file descriptor pointing to a hung NFS mount and then
close it.  Once the receiver calls recvmsg() with msg_control, the
descriptor is automatically installed, and then the responsibility
for the final close() now falls on the receiver, which may result
in blocking the process for a long time.

Regarding this, systemd calls cmsg_close_all() [1] after each
recvmsg() to close() unwanted file descriptors sent via SCM_RIGHTS.

However, this cannot work around the issue at all, because the final
fput() may still occur on the receiver's side once sendmsg() with
SCM_RIGHTS succeeds.  Also, even filtering by LSM at recvmsg() does
not work for the same reason.

Thus, we need a better way to refuse SCM_RIGHTS at sendmsg().

Let's introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS to disable SCM_RIGHTS.

Note that this option is enabled by default for backward
compatibility.

<title>alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9</id>
<content type='text'>
The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack
since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]:
  Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in
 GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double
 improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment
 was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has
 various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which
 is not a whole multiple of 16.

Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same:
 D.3.1 Stack Alignment
  This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a
  new procedure is invoked.

However:
- the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to
  the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very
  first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack;
- syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned
  stack depending on numerous factors.

Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with
a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to
its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever
things allocating it on the stack.

This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers
so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words.
This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel
code, except two handlers which need special threatment.

Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed,
but let's put this off until later.

Add new socket option, SO_RCVPRIORITY, to include SO_PRIORITY in the
ancillary data returned by recvmsg().
This is analogous to the existing support for SO_RCVMARK,
as implemented in commit 6fd1d51cfa253 ("net: SO_RCVMARK socket option
for SO_MARK with recvmsg()").

<title>mm: madvise: implement lightweight guard page mechanism</title>

Implement a new lightweight guard page feature, that is regions of
userland virtual memory that, when accessed, cause a fatal signal to
arise.

Currently users must establish PROT_NONE ranges to achieve this.

However this is very costly memory-wise - we need a VMA for each and every
one of these regions AND they become unmergeable with surrounding VMAs.

In addition repeated mmap() calls require repeated kernel context switches
and contention of the mmap lock to install these ranges, potentially also
having to unmap memory if installed over existing ranges.

The lightweight guard approach eliminates the VMA cost altogether - rather
than establishing a PROT_NONE VMA, it operates at the level of page table
entries - establishing PTE markers such that accesses to them cause a
fault followed by a SIGSGEV signal being raised.

This is achieved through the PTE marker mechanism, which we have already
extended to provide PTE_MARKER_GUARD, which we installed via the generic
page walking logic which we have extended for this purpose.

These guard ranges are established with MADV_GUARD_INSTALL.  If the range
in which they are installed contain any existing mappings, they will be
zapped, i.e.  free the range and unmap memory (thus mimicking the
behaviour of MADV_DONTNEED in this respect).

Any existing guard entries will be left untouched.  There is therefore no
nesting of guarded pages.

Guarded ranges are NOT cleared by MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE (in both
instances the memory range may be reused at which point a user would
expect guards to still be in place), but they are cleared via
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE, process teardown or unmapping of memory ranges.

The guard property can be removed from ranges via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE.  The
ranges over which this is applied, should they contain non-guard entries,
will be untouched, with only guard entries being cleared.

We permit this operation on anonymous memory only, and only VMAs which are
non-special, non-huge and not mlock()'d (if we permitted this we'd have to
drop locked pages which would be rather counterintuitive).

Racing page faults can cause repeated attempts to install guard pages that
are interrupted, result in a zap, and this process can end up being
repeated.  If this happens more than would be expected in normal
operation, we rescind locks and retry the whole thing, which avoids lock
contention in this scenario.

<title>net_tstamp: add SCM_TS_OPT_ID to provide OPT_ID in control message</title>

SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID socket option flag gives a way to correlate TX
timestamps and packets sent via socket. Unfortunately, there is no way
to reliably predict socket timestamp ID value in case of error returned
by sendmsg. For UDP sockets it's impossible because of lockless
nature of UDP transmit, several threads may send packets in parallel. In
case of RAW sockets MSG_MORE option makes things complicated. More
details are in the conversation [1].
This patch adds new control message type to give user-space
software an opportunity to control the mapping between packets and
values by providing ID with each sendmsg for UDP sockets.
The documentation is also added in this patch.
