2019-05-29net: sched: Introduce act_ctinfo actionKevin 'ldir' Darbyshire-Bryant
ctinfo is a new tc filter action module. It is designed to restore information contained in firewall conntrack marks to other packet fields and is typically used on packet ingress paths. At present it has two independent sub-functions or operating modes, DSCP restoration mode & skb mark restoration mode. The DSCP restore mode: This mode copies DSCP values that have been placed in the firewall conntrack mark back into the IPv4/v6 diffserv fields of relevant packets. The DSCP restoration is intended for use and has been found useful for restoring ingress classifications based on egress classifications across links that bleach or otherwise change DSCP, typically home ISP Internet links. Restoring DSCP on ingress on the WAN link allows qdiscs such as but by no means limited to CAKE to shape inbound packets according to policies that are easier to set & mark on egress. Ingress classification is traditionally a challenging task since iptables rules haven't yet run and tc filter/eBPF programs are pre-NAT lookups, hence are unable to see internal IPv4 addresses as used on the typical home masquerading gateway. Thus marking the connection in some manner on egress for later restoration of classification on ingress is easier to implement. Parameters related to DSCP restore mode: dscpmask - a 32 bit mask of 6 contiguous bits and indicate bits of the conntrack mark field contain the DSCP value to be restored. statemask - a 32 bit mask of (usually) 1 bit length, outside the area specified by dscpmask. This represents a conditional operation flag whereby the DSCP is only restored if the flag is set. This is useful to implement a 'one shot' iptables based classification where the 'complicated' iptables rules are only run once to classify the connection on initial (egress) packet and subsequent packets are all marked/restored with the same DSCP. A mask of zero disables the conditional behaviour ie. the conntrack mark DSCP bits are always restored to the ip diffserv field (assuming the conntrack entry is found & the skb is an ipv4/ipv6 type) e.g. dscpmask 0xfc000000 statemask 0x01000000 |----0xFC----conntrack mark----000000---| | Bits 31-26 | bit 25 | bit24 |~~~ Bit 0| | DSCP | unused | flag |unused | |-----------------------0x01---000000---| | | | | ---| Conditional flag v only restore if set |-ip diffserv-| | 6 bits | |-------------| The skb mark restore mode (cpmark): This mode copies the firewall conntrack mark to the skb's mark field. It is completely the functional equivalent of the existing act_connmark action with the additional feature of being able to apply a mask to the restored value. Parameters related to skb mark restore mode: mask - a 32 bit mask applied to the firewall conntrack mark to mask out bits unwanted for restoration. This can be useful where the conntrack mark is being used for different purposes by different applications. If not specified and by default the whole mark field is copied (i.e. default mask of 0xffffffff) e.g. mask 0x00ffffff to mask out the top 8 bits being used by the aforementioned DSCP restore mode. |----0x00----conntrack mark----ffffff---| | Bits 31-24 | | | DSCP & flag| some value here | |---------------------------------------| | | v |------------skb mark-------------------| | | | | zeroed | | |---------------------------------------| Overall parameters: zone - conntrack zone control - action related control (reclassify | pipe | drop | continue | ok | goto chain <CHAIN_INDEX>) Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <ldir@darbyshire-bryant.me.uk> Reviewed-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Acked-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-05-26selftest: Fixes for icmp_redirect testDavid Ahern
I was really surprised that the IPv6 mtu exception followed by redirect test was passing as nothing about the code suggests it should. The problem is actually with the logic in the test script. Fix the test cases as follows: 1. add debug function to dump the initial and redirect gateway addresses for ipv6. This is shown only in verbose mode. It helps verify the output of 'route get'. 2. fix the check_exception logic for the reset case to make sure that for IPv4 neither mtu nor redirect appears in the 'route get' output. For IPv6, make sure mtu is not present and the gateway is the initial R1 lladdr. 3. fix the reset logic by using a function to delete the routes added by initial_route_*. This format works better for the nexthop version of the tests. While improving the test cases, go ahead and ensure that forwarding is disabled since IPv6 redirect requires it. Also, runs with kernel debugging enabled sometimes show a failure with one of the ipv4 tests, so spread the pings over longer time interval. The end result is that 2 tests now show failures: TEST: IPv6: mtu exception plus redirect [FAIL] and the VRF version. This is a bug in the IPv6 logic that will need to be fixed separately. Redirect followed by MTU works because __ip6_rt_update_pmtu hits the 'if (!rt6_cache_allowed_for_pmtu(rt6))' path and updates the mtu on the exception rt6_info. MTU followed by redirect does not have this logic. rt6_do_redirect creates a new exception and then rt6_insert_exception removes the old one which has the MTU exception.

2019-05-24selftests/net: SO_TXTIME with ETF and FQWillem de Bruijn
The SO_TXTIME API enables packet tranmission with delayed delivery. This is currently supported by the ETF and FQ packet schedulers. Evaluate the interface with both schedulers. Install the scheduler and send a variety of packets streams: without delay, with one delayed packet, with multiple ordered delays and with reordering. Verify that packets are released by the scheduler in expected order. The ETF qdisc requires a timestamp in the future on every packet. It needs a delay on the qdisc else the packet is dropped on dequeue for having a delivery time in the past. The test value is experimentally derived. ETF requires clock_id CLOCK_TAI. It checks this base and drops for non-conformance. The FQ qdisc expects clock_id CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the base used by TCP as of commit fb420d5d91c1 ("tcp/fq: move back to CLOCK_MONOTONIC"). Within a flow there is an expecation of ordered delivery, as shown by delivery times of test 4. The FQ qdisc does not require all packets to have timestamps and does not drop for non-conformance. The large (msec) delays are chosen to avoid flakiness. Output: SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic payload:a delay:28 expected:0 (us) SO_TXTIME ipv4 clock monotonic payload:a delay:38 expected:0 (us) SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic payload:a delay:40 expected:0 (us) SO_TXTIME ipv4 clock monotonic payload:a delay:33 expected:0 (us) SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic payload:a delay:10120 expected:10000 (us) SO_TXTIME ipv4 clock monotonic payload:a delay:10102 expected:10000 (us) [.. etc ..] OK.

2019-05-22selftests: pmtu: Simplify cleanup and namespace namesDavid Ahern
The point of the pause-on-fail argument is to leave the setup as is after a test fails to allow a user to debug why it failed. Move the cleanup after posting the result to the user to make it so. Random names for the namespaces are not user friendly when trying to debug a failure. Make them simpler and more direct for the tests. Run cleanup at the beginning to ensure they are cleaned up if they already exist. Remove cleanup_done. There is no harm in doing cleanup twice; just ignore any errors related to not existing - which is already done. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull SPDX update from Greg KH: "Here is a series of patches that add SPDX tags to different kernel files, based on two different things: - SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year ago that do not have any license information at all. These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE() tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the file had a real license, or the files have been added since the last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we didn't touch last time. - Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the 700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get rid of all of these. These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on the patches are reviewers. The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished in about 10 years at the earliest. There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more "odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole kernel to be cleaned up.

For a host which has a lower rlimit for max locked memory (e.g., 64KB), the following error occurs in one of our production systems: # /usr/sbin/bpftool prog load /paragon/pods/52877437/home/mark.o \ /sys/fs/bpf/paragon_mark_21 type cgroup/skb \ map idx 0 pinned /sys/fs/bpf/paragon_map_21 libbpf: Error in bpf_object__probe_name():Operation not permitted(1). Couldn't load basic 'r0 = 0' BPF program. Error: failed to open object file The reason is due to low locked memory during bpf_object__probe_name() which probes whether program name is supported in kernel or not during __bpf_object__open_xattr(). bpftool program load already tries to relax mlock rlimit before bpf_object__load(). Let us move set_max_rlimit() before __bpf_object__open_xattr(), which fixed the issue here.

2019-05-16perf tools: Add a 'percore' event qualifierJin Yao
Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core. We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread. So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level. This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed. v4: --- 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for this new qualifier. 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch v3: --- Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments. Before: "return term->val.percore ? true : false;" Now: "return term->val.percore;" v2: --- Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to comments from Jiri and Andi.

2019-05-16perf intel-pt: Fix sample timestamp wrt non-taken branchesAdrian Hunter
The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still walking towards.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4 stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp").

2019-05-16perf intel-pt: Fix improved sample timestampAdrian Hunter
The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently hasn't reached. The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not handling TNT packets exactly correctly. In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the decoder must first walk to that branch. That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet. To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to distinguish the cases. Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4 stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp").

2019-05-16perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rateAdrian Hunter
The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the timestamp goes forwards. Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods specified as a count of instructions. Example: Before: $ perf script --itrace=i10us ls 13812
