<id>urn:sha1:b11add87a389107eaf8d574e2e825ad02269f252</id>

[ Upstream commit e638072e61726cae363d48812815197a2a0e097f ]

Lockdep has a set of configs used to determine the size of the static
arrays that it uses. However, the upper limit that was initially setup
for these configs is too high (30 bit shift). This equates to several
GiB of static memory for individual symbols. Using such high values
leads to linker errors:

  $ make defconfig
  $ ./scripts/config -e PROVE_LOCKING --set-val LOCKDEP_BITS 30
  $ make olddefconfig all
  [...]
  ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
  ld: section .bss VMA wraps around address space

Adjust the upper limits to the maximum values that avoid these issues.
The need for anything more, likely points to a problem elsewhere. Note
that LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS was intentionally left out as its upper limit
had a different symptom and has already been fixed [1].

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:

 - The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
   going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
   dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
   modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
   starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!

 - Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
   enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
   series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
   would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

    [0] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240129192644.3359978-5-mcgrof@kernel.org/T/#m9efef5e700fbecd28b7afb462c15eed8ba78ef5a

 - Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
   closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
   lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
   Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.

 - Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
   find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.

 - We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
   which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

     https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-modules/list/
     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/README.md
     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/kernel-ci-kpd.md
     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/linux-modules-kdevops-ci.md

   If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
   simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
   tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
   used and leveraged automatically by the CI.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
     introspection.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - nVidia/Mellanox:
         - mlx5:
           - a large refactor to implement support for cross E-Switch

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:

   - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers

     posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
     signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
     delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.

     This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
     intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
     for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
     the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
     life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
     time rules.

     Cure this by:

       - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
         life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
         the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
         always valid container_of() now.

       - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.

       - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
         signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.

       - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
         signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
         delivery code to rearm the timer.

     This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
     are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
     scenarios finally succeed.

   - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping

     This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
     stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
     attributes are actively observed via getattr().

     These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
     the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure

       - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file

       - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
         functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
         defines.

       - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
         timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
         Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
         to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.

       - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
         and fix up stale documentation links all over the place

       - Fixup a few usage sites

   - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
     clocks

     A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
     seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
     considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
     that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
     various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).

     The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
     descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
     They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
     the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.

     As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
     provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.

     The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
     infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
     kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.

     Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
     converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
     which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
     static variables.

     This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
     for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.

   - Consolidate hrtimer initialization

     hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
     seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.

     That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
     straight forward than it should be.

     Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
     core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
     interfaces over.

     The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
     already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.

   - Drivers:

       - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
         cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.

         Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
         clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
         other clusters.

       - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Add firmware sysfs interface which allows user space to retrieve the
   dump area size of the machine

 - Add 'measurement_chars_full' CHPID sysfs attribute to make the
   complete associated Channel-Measurements Characteristics Block
   available

 - Add virtio-mem support

 - Move gmap aka KVM page fault handling from the main fault handler to
   KVM code. This is the first step to make s390 KVM page fault handling
   similar to other architectures. With this first step the main fault
   handler does not have any special handling anymore, and therefore
   convert it to support LOCK_MM_AND_FIND_VMA

 - With gcc 14 s390 support for flag output operand support for inline
   assemblies was added. This allows for several optimizations:

     - Provide a cmpxchg inline assembly which makes use of this, and
       provide all variants of arch_try_cmpxchg() so that the compiler
       can generate slightly better code

     - Convert a few cmpxchg() loops to try_cmpxchg() loops

     - Similar to x86 add a CC_OUT() helper macro (and other macros),
       and convert all inline assemblies to make use of them, so that
       depending on compiler version better code can be generated

 - List installed host-key hashes in sysfs if the machine supports the
   Query Ultravisor Keys UVC

 - Add 'Retrieve Secret' ioctl which allows user space in protected
   execution guests to retrieve previously stored secrets from the
   Ultravisor

 - Add pkey-uv module which supports the conversion of Ultravisor
   retrievable secrets to protected keys

 - Extend the existing paes cipher to exploit the full AES-XTS hardware
   acceleration introduced with message-security assist extension 10

 - Convert hopefully all sysfs show functions to use sysfs_emit() so
   that the constant flow of such patches stop

 - For PCI devices make use of the newly added Topology ID attribute to
   enable whole card multi-function support despite the change to PCHID
   per port. Additionally improve the overall robustness and usability
   of the multifunction support

 - Various other small improvements, fixes, and cleanups

<title>net: Implement fault injection forcing skb reallocation</title>
<updated>2024-11-12T11:05:33+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Breno Leitao</name>
<email>leitao@debian.org</email>
</author>
<published>2024-11-07T16:11:44+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=12079a59ce52e72a342c49cfacf0281213fd6f32'/>
<id>urn:sha1:12079a59ce52e72a342c49cfacf0281213fd6f32</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a fault injection mechanism to force skb reallocation. The
primary goal is to catch bugs related to pointer invalidation after
potential skb reallocation.

The fault injection mechanism aims to identify scenarios where callers
retain pointers to various headers in the skb but fail to reload these
pointers after calling a function that may reallocate the data. This
type of bug can lead to memory corruption or crashes if the old,
now-invalid pointers are used.

By forcing reallocation through fault injection, we can stress-test code
paths and ensure proper pointer management after potential skb
reallocations.

Add a hook for fault injection in the following functions:

 * pskb_trim_rcsum()
 * pskb_may_pull_reason()
 * pskb_trim()

As the other fault injection mechanism, protect it under a debug Kconfig
called CONFIG_FAIL_SKB_REALLOC.

This patch was *heavily* inspired by Jakub's proposal from:
