It is a lot, over 500 changes, but not huge by previous kernel release standards. We deleted more lines than we added again (27k added vs. 91k remvoed), thanks to finally being able to delete the IRDA drivers and networking code. We also deleted the ccree crypto driver, but that's coming back in through the crypto tree to you, in a much cleaned-up form. Added this round is at lot of "mt7621" device support, which is for an embedded device that Neil Brown cares about, and of course a handful of new IIO drivers as well. And finally, the fsl-mc core code moved out of the staging tree to the "real" part of the kernel, which is nice to see happen as well.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann: "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers. I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

In other words they are not really suited for modern, robust tooling. So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe' PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with a kprobe/uprobe attached to them.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-31 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Add raw BPF tracepoint API in order to have a BPF program type that can access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form similar to kprobes based BPF programs. This infrastructure also adds a new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN command to BPF syscall which returns an anon-inode backed fd for the tracepoint object that allows for automatic detach of the BPF program resp. unregistering of the tracepoint probe on fd release, from Alexei. 2) Add new BPF cgroup hooks at bind() and connect() entry in order to allow BPF programs to reject, inspect or modify user space passed struct sockaddr, and as well a hook at post bind time once the port has been allocated. They are used in FB's container management engine for implementing policy, replacing fragile LD_PRELOAD wrapper intercepting bind() and connect() calls that only works in limited scenarios like glibc based apps but not for other runtimes in containerized applications, from Andrey. 3) BPF_F_INGRESS flag support has been added to sockmap programs for their redirect helper call bringing it in line with cls_bpf based programs. Support is added for both variants of sockmap programs, meaning for tx ULP hooks as well as recv skb hooks, from John. 4) Various improvements on BPF side for the nfp driver, besides others this work adds BPF map update and delete helper call support from the datapath, JITing of 32 and 64 bit XADD instructions as well as offload support of bpf_get_prandom_u32() call. Initial implementation of nfp packet cache has been tackled that optimizes memory access (see merge commit for further details), from Jakub and Jiong. 5) Removal of struct bpf_verifier_env argument from the print_bpf_insn() API has been done in order to prepare to use print_bpf_insn() soon out of perf tool directly. This makes the print_bpf_insn() API more generic and pushes the env into private data. bpftool is adjusted as well with the print_bpf_insn() argument removal, from Jiri. 6) Couple of cleanups and prep work for the upcoming BTF (BPF Type Format). The latter will reuse the current BPF verifier log as well, thus bpf_verifier_log() is further generalized, from Martin. 7) For bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt() helpers, IPv4 IP_TOS read and write support has been added in similar fashion to existing IPv6 IPV6_TCLASS socket option we already have, from Nikita. 8) Fixes in recent sockmap scatterlist API usage, which did not use sg_init_table() for initialization thus triggering a BUG_ON() in scatterlist API when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG was enabled. This adds and uses a small helper sg_init_marker() to properly handle the affected cases, from Prashant. 9) Let the BPF core follow IDR code convention and therefore use the idr_preload() and idr_preload_end() helpers, which would also help idr_alloc_cyclic() under GFP_ATOMIC to better succeed under memory pressure, from Shaohua. 10) Last but not least, a spelling fix in an error message for the BPF cookie UID helper under BPF sample code, from Colin. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

gcc points out that the combined length of the fixed-length inputs to l->name is larger than the destination buffer size: net/tipc/link.c: In function 'tipc_link_create': net/tipc/link.c:465:26: error: '%s' directive writing up to 32 bytes into a region of size between 26 and 58 [-Werror=format-overflow=] sprintf(l->name, "%s:%s-%s:unknown", self_str, if_name, peer_str); net/tipc/link.c:465:2: note: 'sprintf' output 11 or more bytes (assuming 75) into a destination of size 60 sprintf(l->name, "%s:%s-%s:unknown", self_str, if_name, peer_str); A detailed analysis reveals that the theoretical maximum length of a link name is: max self_str + 1 + max if_name + 1 + max peer_str + 1 + max if_name = 16 + 1 + 15 + 1 + 16 + 1 + 15 = 65 Since we also need space for a trailing zero we now set MAX_LINK_NAME to 68.

The three address type structs in the user API have names that in reality reflect the specific, non-Linux environment where they were originally created. We now give them more intuitive names, in accordance with how TIPC is described in the current documentation. struct tipc_portid -> struct tipc_socket_addr struct tipc_name -> struct tipc_service_addr struct tipc_name_seq -> struct tipc_service_range To avoid confusion, we also update some commmets and macro names to match the new terminology.

2018-03-31bpf: Post-hooks for sys_bindAndrey Ignatov
"Post-hooks" are hooks that are called right before returning from sys_bind. At this time IP and port are already allocated and no further changes to `struct sock` can happen before returning from sys_bind but BPF program has a chance to inspect the socket and change sys_bind result. Specifically it can e.g. inspect what port was allocated and if it doesn't satisfy some policy, BPF program can force sys_bind to fail and return EPERM to user. Another example of usage is recording the IP:port pair to some map to use it in later calls to sys_connect. E.g. if some TCP server inside cgroup was bound to some IP:port_n, it can be recorded to a map. And later when some TCP client inside same cgroup is trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:port_n, BPF hook for sys_connect can override the destination and connect application to IP:port_n instead of 127.0.0.1:port_n. That helps forcing all applications inside a cgroup to use desired IP and not break those applications if they e.g. use localhost to communicate between each other. == Implementation details == Post-hooks are implemented as two new attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_POST_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_POST_BIND` for existing prog type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK`. Separate attach types for IPv4 and IPv6 are introduced to avoid access to IPv6 field in `struct sock` from `inet_bind()` and to IPv4 field from `inet6_bind()` since those fields might not make sense in such cases.

2018-03-31bpf: Hooks for sys_connectAndrey Ignatov
== The problem == See description of the problem in the initial patch of this patch set. == The solution == The patch provides much more reliable in-kernel solution for the 2nd part of the problem: making outgoing connecttion from desired IP. It adds new attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_CONNECT` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_CONNECT` for program type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR` that can be used to override both source and destination of a connection at connect(2) time. Local end of connection can be bound to desired IP using newly introduced BPF-helper `bpf_bind()`. It allows to bind to only IP though, and doesn't support binding to port, i.e. leverages `IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT` socket option. There are two reasons for this: * looking for a free port is expensive and can affect performance significantly; * there is no use-case for port. As for remote end (`struct sockaddr *` passed by user), both parts of it can be overridden, remote IP and remote port. It's useful if an application inside cgroup wants to connect to another application inside same cgroup or to itself, but knows nothing about IP assigned to the cgroup. Support is added for IPv4 and IPv6, for TCP and UDP. IPv4 and IPv6 have separate attach types for same reason as sys_bind hooks, i.e. to prevent reading from / writing to e.g. user_ip6 fields when user passes sockaddr_in since it'd be out-of-bound. == Implementation notes == The patch introduces new field in `struct proto`: `pre_connect` that is a pointer to a function with same signature as `connect` but is called before it. The reason is in some cases BPF hooks should be called way before control is passed to `sk->sk_prot->connect`. Specifically `inet_dgram_connect` autobinds socket before calling `sk->sk_prot->connect` and there is no way to call `bpf_bind()` from hooks from e.g. `ip4_datagram_connect` or `ip6_datagram_connect` since it'd cause double-bind. On the other hand `proto.pre_connect` provides a flexible way to add BPF hooks for connect only for necessary `proto` and call them at desired time before `connect`. Since `bpf_bind()` is allowed to bind only to IP and autobind in `inet_dgram_connect` binds only port there is no chance of double-bind. bpf_bind() sets `force_bind_address_no_port` to bind to only IP despite of value of `bind_address_no_port` socket field. bpf_bind() sets `with_lock` to `false` when calling to __inet_bind() and __inet6_bind() since all call-sites, where bpf_bind() is called, already hold socket lock.

2018-03-31bpf: Hooks for sys_bindAndrey Ignatov
== The problem == There is a use-case when all processes inside a cgroup should use one single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured. Those processes should use the IP for both ingress and egress, for TCP and UDP traffic. So TCP/UDP servers should be bound to that IP to accept incoming connections on it, and TCP/UDP clients should make outgoing connections from that IP. It should not require changing application code since it's often not possible. Currently it's solved by intercepting glibc wrappers around syscalls such as `bind(2)` and `connect(2)`. It's done by a shared library that is preloaded for every process in a cgroup so that whenever TCP/UDP server calls `bind(2)`, the library replaces IP in sockaddr before passing arguments to syscall. When application calls `connect(2)` the library transparently binds the local end of connection to that IP (`bind(2)` with `IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT` to avoid performance penalty). Shared library approach is fragile though, e.g.: * some applications clear env vars (incl. `LD_PRELOAD`); * `/etc/ld.so.preload` doesn't help since some applications are linked with option `-z nodefaultlib`; * other applications don't use glibc and there is nothing to intercept. == The solution == The patch provides much more reliable in-kernel solution for the 1st part of the problem: binding TCP/UDP servers on desired IP. It does not depend on application environment and implementation details (whether glibc is used or not). It adds new eBPF program type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR` and attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_BIND` (similar to already existing `BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE`). The new program type is intended to be used with sockets (`struct sock`) in a cgroup and provided by user `struct sockaddr`. Pointers to both of them are parts of the context passed to programs of newly added types. The new attach types provides hooks in `bind(2)` system call for both IPv4 and IPv6 so that one can write a program to override IP addresses and ports user program tries to bind to and apply such a program for whole cgroup. == Implementation notes == [1] Separate attach types for `AF_INET` and `AF_INET6` are added intentionally to prevent reading/writing to offsets that don't make sense for corresponding socket family. E.g. if user passes `sockaddr_in` it doesn't make sense to read from / write to `user_ip6[]` context fields. [2] The write access to `struct bpf_sock_addr_kern` is implemented using special field as an additional "register". There are just two registers in `sock_addr_convert_ctx_access`: `src` with value to write and `dst` with pointer to context that can't be changed not to break later instructions. But the fields, allowed to write to, are not available directly and to access them address of corresponding pointer has to be loaded first. To get additional register the 1st not used by `src` and `dst` one is taken, its content is saved to `bpf_sock_addr_kern.tmp_reg`, then the register is used to load address of pointer field, and finally the register's content is restored from the temporary field after writing `src` value.

2018-03-31bpf: Check attach type at prog load timeAndrey Ignatov
== The problem == There are use-cases when a program of some type can be attached to multiple attach points and those attach points must have different permissions to access context or to call helpers. E.g. context structure may have fields for both IPv4 and IPv6 but it doesn't make sense to read from / write to IPv6 field when attach point is somewhere in IPv4 stack. Same applies to BPF-helpers: it may make sense to call some helper from some attach point, but not from other for same prog type. == The solution == Introduce `expected_attach_type` field in in `struct bpf_attr` for `BPF_PROG_LOAD` command. If scenario described in "The problem" section is the case for some prog type, the field will be checked twice: 1) At load time prog type is checked to see if attach type for it must be known to validate program permissions correctly. Prog will be rejected with EINVAL if it's the case and `expected_attach_type` is not specified or has invalid value. 2) At attach time `attach_type` is compared with `expected_attach_type`, if prog type requires to have one, and, if they differ, attach will be rejected with EINVAL. The `expected_attach_type` is now available as part of `struct bpf_prog` in both `bpf_verifier_ops->is_valid_access()` and `bpf_verifier_ops->get_func_proto()` () and can be used to check context accesses and calls to helpers correspondingly.

2018-03-30netfilter: ebtables: Add support for specifying match revisionBernie Harris
Currently ebtables assumes that the revision number of all match modules is 0, which is an issue when trying to use existing xtables matches with ebtables. The solution is to modify ebtables to allow extensions to specify a revision number, similar to iptables. This gets passed down to the kernel, which is then able to find the match module correctly. To main binary backwards compatibility, the size of the ebt_entry structures is not changed, only the size of the name field is decreased by 1 byte to make room for the revision field.

2018-03-28bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINTAlexei Starovoitov
Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form. >From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like: struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args { __u64 args[0]; }; int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx) { // program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint // and statically verified at program load+attach time } kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments. This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments. Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is. The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read() helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer. For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared. In assembler it looks like: (gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception: 0xffffffff81132080 <+0>: mov %ecx,%ecx 0xffffffff81132082 <+2>: jmpq 0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3> where TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception, TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev, const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act), The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64' to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is. All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text. This approach gives the lowest possib
