Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
Dumazet.
6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom
Herbert.
7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.
8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.
9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.
10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.
11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
Dumazet.
12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
Florian Westphal.
13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
faster. From Eric Dumazet"

Pull trace ring buffer iterator fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While testing some new changes for 3.18, I kept hitting a bug every so
often in the ring buffer. At first I thought it had to do with some
of the changes I was working on, but then testing something else I
realized that the bug was in 3.17 itself. I ran several bisects as
the bug was not very reproducible, and finally came up with the commit
that I could reproduce easily within a few minutes, and without the
change I could run the tests over an hour without issue. The change
fit the bug and I figured out a fix. That bad commit was:
Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
This commit fixed a bug, but in the process created another one. It
used the wrong value as the cached value that is used to see if things
changed while an iterator was in use. This made it look like a change
always happened, and could cause the iterator to go into an infinite
loop"

Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by
calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet
have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and
'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent
process. This is bad..

Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to
update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached
reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator
needs to be updated or not.
A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer
but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening.
Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only
synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may
be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when
its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read
occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer.
The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since
its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the
last counts of the read and the reader page itself.
Commit 651e22f2701b changed what was saved by the cache_read when
the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache.
Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an
infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset
and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which
should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the
current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from
having access to the data.

Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't
terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those
out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols.
Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.

consider C program represented in eBPF:
int filter(int arg)
{
int a, b, c, *ptr;
if (arg == 1)
ptr = &a;
else if (arg == 2)
ptr = &b;
else
ptr = &c;
*ptr = 0;
return 0;
}
eBPF verifier has to follow all possible paths through the program
to recognize that '*ptr = 0' instruction would be safe to execute
in all situations.
It's doing it by picking a path towards the end and observes changes
to registers and stack at every insn until it reaches bpf_exit.
Then it comes back to one of the previous branches and goes towards
the end again with potentially different values in registers.
When program has a lot of branches, the number of possible combinations
of branches is huge, so verifer has a hard limit of walking no more
than 32k instructions. This limit can be reached and complex (but valid)
programs could be rejected. Therefore it's important to recognize equivalent
verifier states to prune this depth first search.
Basic idea can be illustrated by the program (where .. are some eBPF insns):
1: ..
2: if (rX == rY) goto 4
3: ..
4: ..
5: ..
6: bpf_exit
In the first pass towards bpf_exit the verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Since insn#2 is a branch the verifier will remember its state in verifier stack
to come back to it later.
Since insn#4 is marked as 'branch target', the verifier will remember its state
in explored_states[4] linked list.
Once it reaches insn#6 successfully it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and
will continue.
Without search pruning optimization verifier would have to walk 4, 5, 6 again,
effectively simulating execution of insns 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
With search pruning it will check whether state at #4 after jumping from #2
is equivalent to one recorded in explored_states[4] during first pass.
If there is an equivalent state, verifier can prune the search at #4 and declare
this path to be safe as well.
In other words two states at #4 are equivalent if execution of 1, 2, 3, 4 insns
and 1, 2, 4 insns produces equivalent registers and stack.

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.
This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.
Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway.
This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from
2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the
task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the
cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be
changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running,
which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task
itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt
PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.
The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags. The first
two are prepatory ones to help defining atomic_flags accessors and the
third one is the actual fix"

This patch adds verifier core which simulates execution of every insn and
records the state of registers and program stack. Every branch instruction seen
during simulation is pushed into state stack. When verifier reaches BPF_EXIT,
it pops the state from the stack and continues until it reaches BPF_EXIT again.
For program:
1: bpf_mov r1, xxx
2: if (r1 == 0) goto 5
3: bpf_mov r0, 1
4: goto 6
5: bpf_mov r0, 2
6: bpf_exit
The verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
then it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and will continue: 5, 6
This way it walks all possible paths through the program and checks all
possible values of registers. While doing so, it checks for:
- invalid instructions
- uninitialized register access
- uninitialized stack access
- misaligned stack access
- out of range stack access
- invalid calling convention
- instruction encoding is not using reserved fields
Kernel subsystem configures the verifier with two callbacks:
- bool (*is_valid_access)(int off, int size, enum bpf_access_type type);
that provides information to the verifer which fields of 'ctx'
are accessible (remember 'ctx' is the first argument to eBPF program)
- const struct bpf_func_proto *(*get_func_proto)(enum bpf_func_id func_id);
returns argument constraints of kernel helper functions that eBPF program
may call, so that verifier can checks that R1-R5 types match the prototype

eBPF programs passed from userspace are using pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 instructions
to refer to process-local map_fd. Scan the program for such instructions and
if FDs are valid, convert them to 'struct bpf_map' pointers which will be used
by verifier to check access to maps in bpf_map_lookup/update() calls.
If program passes verifier, convert pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 into generic by dropping
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD flag.
Note that eBPF interpreter is generic and knows nothing about pseudo insns.

in native eBPF programs userspace is using pseudo BPF_CALL instructions
which encode one of 'enum bpf_func_id' inside insn->imm field.
Verifier checks that program using correct function arguments to given func_id.
If all checks passed, kernel needs to fixup BPF_CALL->imm fields by
replacing func_id with in-kernel function pointer.
eBPF interpreter just calls the function.
In-kernel eBPF users continue to use generic BPF_CALL.

eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user
process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF program is
a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically
determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute.
The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program:
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
const char *license)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.prog_type = prog_type,
.insns = ptr_to_u64(insns),
.insn_cnt = insn_cnt,
.license = ptr_to_u64(license),
};
return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string
that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only
Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd.
Use close(prog_fd) to unload the program.
User space tests and examples follow in the later patches

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel

The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:
- create a map with given type and attributes
fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
returns fd or negative error
- lookup key in a given map referenced by fd
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error
- create or update key/value pair in a given map
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero or negative error
- find and delete element by key in a given map

BPF syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on eBPF.
This patch introduces syscall with single command to create a map.
Next patch adds commands to access maps.
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.
Userspace example:
/* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes
* and returns map_fd on success.
* use close(map_fd) to delete the map
*/
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
int value_size, int max_entries)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_type = map_type,
.key_size = key_size,
.value_size = value_size,
.max_entries = max_entries
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

In commit c1221321b7c25b53204447cff9949a6d5a7ddddc
sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example. Others can be added as needed.

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.
Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.
Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230
To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.
The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;
}

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:
if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_put_keys;
}
which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.
So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.
Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

The C operator <= defines a perfectly fine total ordering on the set of
values representable in a long. However, unlike its namesake in the
integers, it is not translation invariant, meaning that we do not have
"b <= c" iff "a+b <= a+c" for all a,b,c.
This means that it is always wrong to try to boil down the relationship
between two longs to a question about the sign of their difference,
because the resulting relation [a LEQ b iff a-b <= 0] is neither
anti-symmetric or transitive. The former is due to -LONG_MIN==LONG_MIN
(take any two a,b with a-b = LONG_MIN; then a LEQ b and b LEQ a, but a !=
b). The latter can either be seen observing that x LEQ x+1 for all x,
implying x LEQ x+1 LEQ x+2 ... LEQ x-1 LEQ x; or more directly with the
simple example a=LONG_MIN, b=0, c=1, for which a-b < 0, b-c < 0, but a-c >
0.
Note that it makes absolutely no difference that a transmogrying bijection
has been applied before the comparison is done. In fact, had the
obfuscation not been done, one could probably not observe the bug
(assuming all values being compared always lie in one half of the address
space, the mathematical value of a-b is always representable in a long).
As it stands, one can easily obtain three file descriptors exhibiting the
non-transitivity of kcmp().
Side note 1: I can't see that ensuring the MSB of the multiplier is
set serves any purpose other than obfuscating the obfuscating code.

We shouldn't set text_len in the code path that detects printk recursion
because text_len corresponds to the length of the string inside textbuf.
A few lines down from the line
text_len = strlen(recursion_msg);
is the line
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
So if printk detects recursion, it sets text_len to 29 (the length of
recursion_msg) and logs an error. Then the message supplied by the
caller of printk is stored inside textbuf but offset by 29 bytes. This
means that the output of the recursive call to printk will contain 29
bytes of garbage in front of it.
This defect is caused by commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate
printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") which turned the line
text_len = vscnprintf(text, ...);
into
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
To fix this, this patch avoids setting text_len when logging the printk
recursion error. This patch also marks unlikely() the branch leading up
to this code.

Since BPF JIT depends on the availability of module_alloc() and
module_free() helpers (HAVE_BPF_JIT and MODULES), we better build
that code only in case we have BPF_JIT in our config enabled, just
like with other JIT code. Fixes builds for arm/marzen_defconfig
and sh/rsk7269_defconfig.
