Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image
header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64
image header. One error during my original review was not noticing
that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and
position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image
header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel
image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is
undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible
with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original
"res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero.
Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V
header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will
store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the
existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated
over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to
indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix
the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are
properly zero-initialized.

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add the ability to use unaligned chunks in the AF_XDP umem. By

arbitrary buffer size and place whenever there is a free
address in the umem. Helps more seamless DPDK AF_XDP driver
integration. Support for i40e, ixgbe and mlx5e, from Kevin and
Maxim.
2) Addition of a wakeup flag for AF_XDP tx and fill rings so the
application can wake up the kernel for rx/tx processing which
avoids busy-spinning of the latter, useful when app and driver
is located on the same core. Support for i40e, ixgbe and mlx5e,
from Magnus and Maxim.

The next patch is by Oleksij Rempel, switches the
&net->can.rcvlists_lock from a spin_lock() to a spin_lock_bh(), so that
it can be used from NAPI (soft IRQ) context.
The next 4 patches are by Kurt Van Dijck, he first updates his email
address via mailmap and then extends sockaddr_can to include j1939
members.
The final patch is the collective effort of many entities (The j1939
authors: Oliver Hartkopp, Bastian Stender, Elenita Hinds, kbuild test
robot, Kurt Van Dijck, Maxime Jayat, Robin van der Gracht, Oleksij
Rempel, Marc Kleine-Budde). It adds support of SAE J1939 protocol to the

Abstract:
--------
Mellanox ConnetX devices supports packet matching, packet modification and
redirection. These functionalities are also referred to as flow-steering.
To configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device owned
memory, this memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing
a packet.
Steering rules are constructed from multiple steering entries (STE).
Rules are configured using the Firmware command interface. The Firmware
processes the given driver command and translates them to STEs, then
writes them to the device memory in the current steering tables.
This process is slow due to the architecture of the command interface and
the processing complexity of each rule.
The highlight of this patchset is to cut the middle man (The firmware) and
do steering rules programming into device directly from the driver, with
no firmware intervention whatsoever.
Motivation:
-----------
Software (driver managed) steering allows for high rule insertion rates
compared to the FW steering described above, this is achieved by using
internal RDMA writes to the device owned memory instead of the slow
command interface to program steering rules.
Software (driver managed) steering, doesn't depend on new FW
for new steering functionality, new implementations can be done in the
driver skipping the FW layer.
Performance:
------------
The insertion rate on a single core using the new approach allows
programming ~300K rules per sec. (Done via direct raw test to the new mlx5
sw steering layer, without any kernel layer involved).
Test: TC L2 rules
33K/s with Software steering (this patchset).
5K/s with FW and current driver.
This will improve OVS based solution performance.
Architecture and implementation details:
----------------------------------------
Software steering will be dynamically selected via devlink device
parameter. Example:
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
pci/0000:06:00.0:
name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
values:
cmode runtime value smfs
mlx5 software steering module a.k.a (DR - Direct Rule) is implemented
and contained in mlx5/core/steering directory and controlled by
MLX5_SW_STEERING kconfig flag.
mlx5 core steering layer (fs_core) already provides a shim layer for
implementing different steering mechanisms, software steering will
leverage that as seen at the end of this series.
When Software Steering for a specific steering domain
(NIC/RDMA/Vport/ESwitch, etc ..) is supported, it will cause rules
targeting this domain to be created using SW steering instead of FW.
The implementation includes:
Domain - The steering domain is the object that all other object resides
in. It holds the memory allocator, send engine, locks and other shared
data needed by lower objects such as table, matcher, rule, action.
Each domain can contain multiple tables. Domain is equivalent to
namespaces e.g (NIC/RDMA/Vport/ESwitch, etc ..) as implemented
currently in mlx5_core fs_core (flow steering core).
Table - Table objects are used for holding multiple matchers, each table
has a level used to prevent processing loops. Packets are being
directed to this table once it is set as the root table, this is done
by fs_core using a FW command. A packet is being processed inside the
table matcher by matcher until a successful hit, otherwise the packet
will perform the default action.
Matcher - Matchers objects are used to specify the fields mask for
matching when processing a packet. A matcher belongs to a table, each
matcher can hold multiple rules, each rule with different matching
values corresponding to the matcher mask. Each matcher has a priority
used for rule processing order inside the table.
Action - Action objects are created to specify different steering actions
such as count, reformat (encapsulate, decapsulate, ...), modify
header, forward to table and many other actions. When creating a rule
a sequence of actions can be provided to be executed on a successful
match.
Rule - Rule objects are used to specify a specific match on packets as
well as the actions that should be executed. A rule belongs to a
matcher.
STE - This layer is used to hold the specific STE format for the device
and to convert the requested rule to STEs. Each rule is constructed of
an STE chain, Multiple rules construct a steering graph. Each node in
the graph is a hash table containing multiple STEs. The index of each
STE in the hash table is being calculated using a CRC32 hash function.
Memory pool - Used for managing and caching device owned memory for rule
insertion. The memory is being allocated using DM (device memory) API.
Communication with device - layer for standard RDMA operation using RC QP
to configure the device steering.
Command utility - This module holds all of the FW commands that are
required for SW steering to function.
Patch planning and files:
-------------------------
1) First patch, adds the support to Add flow steering actions to fs_cmd
shim layer.
2) Next 12 patch will add a file per each Software steering
functionality/module as described above. (See patches with title: DR, *)
3) Add CONFIG_MLX5_SW_STEERING for software steering support and enable
build with the new files
4) Next two patches will add the support for software steering in mlx5
steering shim layer
net/mlx5: Add API to set the namespace steering mode
net/mlx5: Add direct rule fs_cmd implementation
5) Last two patches will add the new devlink parameter to select mlx5
steering mode, will be valid only for switchdev mode for now.
Two modes are supported:
1. DMFS - Device managed flow steering
2. SMFS - Software/Driver managed flow steering.
In the DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created through the
FW. In the SMFS mode this entities are created though the driver
directly.
The driver will use the devlink steering mode only if the steering
domain supports it, for now SMFS will manages only the switchdev
eswitch steering domain.
User command examples:
- Set SMFS flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime
- Read device flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
pci/0000:06:00.0:

4) Next two patches will add the support for software steering in mlx5
steering shim layer
net/mlx5: Add API to set the namespace steering mode
net/mlx5: Add direct rule fs_cmd implementation
5) Last two patches will add the new devlink parameter to select mlx5
steering mode, will be valid only for switchdev mode for now.
Two modes are supported:
1. DMFS - Device managed flow steering
2. SMFS - Software/Driver managed flow steering.
In the DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created through the
FW. In the SMFS mode this entities are created though the driver
directly.
The driver will use the devlink steering mode only if the steering
domain supports it, for now SMFS will manages only the switchdev
eswitch steering domain.
User command examples:
- Set SMFS flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime
- Read device flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
pci/0000:06:00.0:
name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
values:
cmode runtime value smfs

To address the requirements of embargoed hardware issues, like Meltdown,
Spectre, L1TF etc. it is necessary to define and document a process for
handling embargoed hardware security issues.
Following the discussion at the maintainer summit 2018 in Edinburgh
(https://lwn.net/Articles/769417/) the volunteered people have worked
out a process and a Memorandum of Understanding. The latter addresses
the fact that the Linux kernel community cannot sign NDAs for various
reasons.
The initial contact point for hardware security issues is different from
the regular kernel security contact to provide a known and neutral
interface for hardware vendors and researchers. The initial primary
contact team is proposed to be staffed by Linux Foundation Fellows, who
are not associated to a vendor or a distribution and are well connected
in the industry as a whole.
The process is designed with the experience of the past incidents in
mind and tries to address the remaining gaps, so future (hopefully rare)
incidents can be handled more efficiently. It won't remove the fact,
that most of this has to be done behind closed doors, but it is set up
to avoid big bureaucratic hurdles for individual developers.
The process is solely for handling hardware security issues and cannot
be used for regular kernel (software only) security bugs.
This memo can help with hardware companies who, and I quote, "[my
manager] doesn't want to bet his job on the list keeping things secret."
This despite numerous leaks directly from that company over the years,
and none ever so far from the kernel security team. Cognitive
dissidence seems to be a requirement to be a good manager.
To accelerate the adoption of this process, we introduce the concept of
ambassadors in participating companies. The ambassadors are there to
guide people to comply with the process, but are not automatically
involved in the disclosure of a particular incident.

"A few fixes for x86:
- Fix a boot regression caused by the recent bootparam sanitizing
change, which escaped the attention of all people who reviewed that

- Address a boot problem on machines with broken E820 tables caused
by an underflow which ended up placing the trampoline start at
physical address 0.
- Handle machines which do not advertise a legacy timer of any form,
but need calibration of the local APIC timer gracefully by making
the calibration routine independent from the tick interrupt. Marked
for stable as well as there seems to be quite some new laptops
rolled out which expose this.
- Clear the RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h and 16h CPUs which are
affected by broken firmware which does not initialize RDRAND
correctly after resume. Add a command line parameter to override
this for machine which either do not use suspend/resume or have a
fixed BIOS. Unfortunately there is no way to detect this on boot,
so the only safe decision is to turn it off by default.
- Prevent RFLAGS from being clobbers in CALL_NOSPEC on 32bit which
caused fast KVM instruction emulation to break.
- Explain the Intel CPU model naming convention so that the repeating
discussions come to an end"

PCI: Reset both NVIDIA GPU and HDA in ThinkPad P50 workaround
There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on
some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS
not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues
to function properly.
RDRAND support is indicated by CPUID Fn00000001_ECX[30]. This bit can be
reset by clearing MSR C001_1004[62]. Any software that checks for RDRAND
support using CPUID, including the kernel, will believe that RDRAND is
not supported.
Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family
15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family
15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the
system will not be placed in suspend, the "rdrand=force" kernel parameter
can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit.
Additionally, update the suspend and resume path to save and restore the
MSR C001_1004 value to ensure that the RDRAND CPUID setting remains in
place after resuming from suspend.
Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor
that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any
code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.
