8a1a2b717e mac802154: Include crypto/aead.h
All users of AEAD should include crypto/aead.h instead of
include/linux/crypto.h.

This patch also removes a bogus inclusion of algapi.h which should
only be used by algorithm/driver implementors and not crypto users.

Instead linux/crypto.h is added which is necessary because mac802154

41416f2330 lib/string_helpers.c: change semantics of string_escape_mem
The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its
current users, vsnprintf().  If that is to honour its contract, it must
know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and
string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a
large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and
that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf).

So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like:
Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination
buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst
it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination.
It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to
append a '\0' if desired.  Also, we must output partial escape sequences,
otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause
printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever
they previously contained.

This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used
to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem();
since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would
happily write to dst.  For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and
then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops.

In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for
getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small.  We
also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref)
if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for
kasprintf("%pE") to work.

In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics.
Someone should definitely double-check this.

In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it
should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

2813893f8b kernel: conditionally support non-root users, groups and capabilities
There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root.  For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional.  It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build.  The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB.  (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.

The kernel was booted in Qemu.  All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Bloat-o-meter output:
add/remove: 7/87 grow/shrink: 19/397 up/down: 1675/-26325 (-24650)

4167e9b2cf mm: remove GFP_THISNODE
NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE.

GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different
behavior than expected.  It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE,
__GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page
allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be
used in combination with __GFP_WAIT.

An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b8 ("mm: fix
GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE
that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE.  The problem doesn't end there,
however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(),
which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT
is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE.  Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a
no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases
__GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN.

It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely.  We leave __GFP_THISNODE
to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and
its obscurity.  Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it
wants to avoid reclaim.

This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they
should.  It also enables any future callers that want to do
__GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim.  The
rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT.

Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so
it is unchanged.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

A final pull request, I know it's very late but this time I think it's worth a
bit of rush.

The following patchset contains Netfilter/nf_tables updates for net-next, more
specifically concatenation support and dynamic stateful expression
instantiation.

This also comes with a couple of small patches. One to fix the ebtables.h
userspace header and another to get rid of an obsolete example file in tree
that describes a nf_tables expression.

This time, I decided to paste the original descriptions. This will result in a
rather large commit description, but I think these bytes to keep.

Patrick McHardy says:

====================
netfilter: nf_tables: concatenation support

The following patches add support for concatenations, which allow multi
dimensional exact matches in O(1).

The basic idea is to split the data registers, currently consisting of
4 registers of 16 bytes each, into smaller units, 16 registers of 4
bytes each, and making sure each register store always leaves the
full 32 bit in a well defined state, meaning smaller stores will
zero the remaining bits.

Based on that, we can load multiple adjacent registers with different
values, thereby building a concatenated bigger value, and use that
value for set lookups.

Sets are changed to use variable sized extensions for their key and
data values, removing the fixed limit of 16 bytes while saving memory
if less space is needed.

As a side effect, these patches will allow some nice optimizations in
the future, like using jhash2 in nft_hash, removing the masking in
nft_cmp_fast, optimized data comparison using 32 bit word size etc.
These are not done so far however.

The patches are split up as follows:

 * the first five patches add length validation to register loads and
   stores to make sure we stay within bounds and prepare the validation
   functions for the new addressing mode

 * the next patches prepare for changing to 32 bit addressing by
   introducing a struct nft_regs, which holds the verdict register as
   well as the data registers. The verdict members are moved to a new
   struct nft_verdict to allow to pull struct nft_data out of the stack.

 * the next patches contain preparatory conversions of expressions and
   sets to use 32 bit addressing

 * the next patch introduces so far unused register conversion helpers
   for parsing and dumping register numbers over netlink

 * following is the real conversion to 32 bit addressing, consisting of
   replacing struct nft_data in struct nft_regs by an array of u32s and
   actually translating and validating the new register numbers.

 * the final two patches add support for variable sized data items and
   variable sized keys / data in set elements

The patches have been verified to work correctly with nft binaries using
both old and new addressing.

Patrick McHardy says:

====================
netfilter: nf_tables: dynamic stateful expression instantiation

The following patches are the grand finale of my nf_tables set work,
using all the building blocks put in place by the previous patches
to support something like iptables hashlimit, but a lot more powerful.

Sets are extended to allow attaching expressions to set elements.
The dynset expression dynamically instantiates these expressions
based on a template when creating new set elements and evaluates
them for all new or updated set members.

In combination with concatenations this effectively creates state
tables for arbitrary combinations of keys, using the existing
expression types to maintain that state. Regular set GC takes care
of purging expired states.

We currently support two different stateful expressions, counter
and limit. Using limit as a template we can express the functionality
of hashlimit, but completely unrestricted in the combination of keys.
Using counter we can perform accounting for arbitrary flows.

The following examples from patch 5/5 show some possibilities.
Userspace syntax is still WIP, especially the listing of state
tables will most likely be seperated from normal set listings
and use a more structured format:

1. Limit the rate of new SSH connections per host, similar to iptables
   hashlimit:

        flow ip saddr timeout 60s \
        limit 10/second \
        accept

2. Account network traffic between each set of /24 networks:

        flow ip saddr & 255.255.255.0 . ip daddr & 255.255.255.0 \
        counter

3. Account traffic to each host per user:

        flow skuid . ip daddr \
        counter

4. Account traffic for each combination of source address and TCP flags:

        flow ip saddr . tcp flags \
        counter

The resulting set content after a Xmas-scan look like this:

{
        192.168.122.1 . fin | psh | urg : counter packets 1001 bytes 40040,
        192.168.122.1 . ack : counter packets 74 bytes 3848,
        192.168.122.1 . psh | ack : counter packets 35 bytes 3144
}

In the future the "expressions attached to elements" will be extended
to also support user created non-stateful expressions to allow to
efficiently select beween a set of parameter sets, f.i. a set of log
statements with different prefixes based on the interface, which currently
require one rule each. This will most likely have to wait until the next
kernel version though.

 __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
 displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
 TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
 user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
 and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
 macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
 much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
 because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
 by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
 format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
 
 The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
 in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
 shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
 has this in its format file:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },

Al Viro says:

====================
netdev-related stuff in vfs.git

There are several commits sitting in vfs.git that probably ought to go in
via net-next.git.  First of all, there's merge with vfs.git#iocb - that's
Christoph's aio rework, which has triggered conflicts with the ->sendmsg()
and ->recvmsg() patches a while ago.  It's not so much Christoph's stuff
that ought to be in net-next, as (pretty simple) conflict resolution on merge.
The next chunk is switch to {compat_,}import_iovec/import_single_range - new
safer primitives for initializing iov_iter.  The primitives themselves come
from vfs/git#iov_iter (and they are used quite a lot in vfs part of queue),
conversion of net/socket.c syscalls belongs in net-next, IMO.  Next there's
afs and rxrpc stuff from dhowells.  And then there's sanitizing kernel_sendmsg
et.al.  + missing inlined helper for "how much data is left in msg->msg_iter" -
this stuff is used in e.g.  cifs stuff, but it belongs in net-next.

That pile is pullable from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem

I'll post the individual patches in there in followups; could you take a look
and tell if everything in there is OK with you?

789f558cfb tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer
Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when
memory was expensive and machines had a single processor.

This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies
(Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.)

We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread
timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior.

Tested:

On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1
on the target (lpaa24)

Before patch :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
419594

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
437171

While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies.

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2

After patch :

About 90% increase of throughput :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
810442

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
800992

And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even
if network utilization is 90% higher :

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms

3e135cd499 netfilter: nft_dynset: dynamic stateful expression instantiation
Support instantiating stateful expressions based on a template that
are associated with dynamically created set entries. The expressions
are evaluated when adding or updating the set element.

This allows to maintain per flow state using the existing set
infrastructure and expression types, with arbitrary definitions of
a flow.

Usage is currently restricted to anonymous sets, meaning only a single
binding can exist, since the desired semantics of multiple independant
bindings haven't been defined so far.

Examples (userspace syntax is still WIP):

1. Limit the rate of new SSH connections per host, similar to iptables
   hashlimit:

	flow ip saddr timeout 60s \
	limit 10/second \
	accept

2. Account network traffic between each set of /24 networks:

	flow ip saddr & 255.255.255.0 . ip daddr & 255.255.255.0 \
	counter

3. Account traffic to each host per user:

	flow skuid . ip daddr \
	counter

4. Account traffic for each combination of source address and TCP flags:

	flow ip saddr . tcp flags \
	counter

The resulting set content after a Xmas-scan look like this:

{
	192.168.122.1 . fin | psh | urg : counter packets 1001 bytes 40040,
	192.168.122.1 . ack : counter packets 74 bytes 3848,

151d799a61 netfilter: nf_tables: mark stateful expressions
Add a flag to mark stateful expressions.

This is used for dynamic expression instanstiation to limit the usable
expressions. Strictly speaking only the dynset expression can not be
used in order to avoid recursion, but since dynamically instantiating
non-stateful expressions will simply create an identical copy, which
behaves no differently than the original, this limits to expressions
where it actually makes sense to dynamically instantiate them.

3d0d26c797 tcp: fix bogus RTT for CC when retransmissions are acked
Since retransmitted segments are not used for RTT estimation, previously
SACKed segments present in the rtx queue are used. This estimation can be
several times larger than the actual RTT. When a cumulative ack covers both
previously SACKed and retransmitted segments, CC may thus get a bogus RTT.

Such segments previously had an RTT estimation in tcp_sacktag_one(), so it
seems reasonable to not reuse them in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() at all.

Afaik, this has had no effect on SRTT/RTO because of Karn's check.

4577139b2d net: use jump label patching for ingress qdisc in __netif_receive_skb_core
Even if we make use of classifier and actions from the egress
path, we're going into handle_ing() executing additional code
on a per-packet cost for ingress qdisc, just to realize that
nothing is attached on ingress.

Instead, this can just be blinded out as a no-op entirely with
the use of a static key. On input fast-path, we already make
use of static keys in various places, e.g. skb time stamping,
in RPS, etc. It makes sense to not waste time when we're assured
that no ingress qdisc is attached anywhere.

Enabling/disabling of that code path is being done via two
helpers, namely net_{inc,dec}_ingress_queue(), that are being
invoked under RTNL mutex when a ingress qdisc is being either
initialized or destructed.

49499c3e6e netfilter: nf_tables: switch registers to 32 bit addressing
Switch the nf_tables registers from 128 bit addressing to 32 bit
addressing to support so called concatenations, where multiple values
can be concatenated over multiple registers for O(1) exact matches of
multiple dimensions using sets.

The old register values are mapped to areas of 128 bits for compatibility.
When dumping register numbers, values are expressed using the old values
if they refer to the beginning of a 128 bit area for compatibility.

To support concatenations, register loads of less than a full 32 bit
value need to be padded. This mainly affects the payload and exthdr
expressions, which both unconditionally zero the last word before
copying the data.

Userspace fully passes the testsuite using both old and new register
addressing.

The existing name is ambiguous, data is loaded as well when we read from
a register. Rename to nft_validate_register_store() for clarity and
consistency with the upcoming patch to introduce its counterpart,
nft_validate_register_load().

45d9bcda21 netfilter: nf_tables: validate len in nft_validate_data_load()
For values spanning multiple registers, we need to validate that enough
space is available from the destination register onwards. Add a len
argument to nft_validate_data_load() and consolidate the existing length
validations in preparation of that.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-04-11

This series contains updates to iflink, ixgbe and ixgbevf.

The entire set of changes come from Vlad Zolotarov to ultimately add
the ethtool ops to VF driver to allow querying the RSS indirection table
and RSS random key.

Currently we support only 82599 and x540 devices.  On those devices, VFs
share the RSS redirection table and hash key with a PF.  Letting the VF
query this information may introduce some security risks, therefore this
feature will be disabled by default.

The new netdev op allows a system administrator to change the default
behaviour with "ip link set" command.  The relevant iproute2 patch has
already been sent and awaits for this series upstream.
