Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
code.
New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
this is very much a manageable driver now.
Here's a summary of the various updates:
- The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.
Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.
- Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.
- With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
construction.
- Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
degree.
This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
down the road, that's something we can revisit.
- We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
as RDRAND when available.
- Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.
- The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().
- The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
particularly nice.
This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
thread worth skimming through.
- While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.
- Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.
- As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.
- Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
is ready.
- A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
it possible to remove those functions.
- A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
/dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.
- The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
.read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.
- Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.
- A small SipHash cleanup"

random32.c has two random number generators in it: one that is meant to
be used deterministically, with some predefined seed, and one that does
the same exact thing as random.c, except does it poorly. The first one
has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced
with calls to random.c's proper random number generator.
The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in
response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic.
Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was
anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow
entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net
code, added willy nilly.
Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏.
Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing
with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast
enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median
cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_
higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be).
However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually
use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly
(with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional
prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is
generally already being used by something else nearby.
The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who
probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This
makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a
switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static
inline wrapper functions that this commit adds.
There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster
in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking
stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20
will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead
of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a
get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will
shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip
away at down the road.

skb_defer_free_flush() can consume cpu cycles,
it seems better to call it in the inner loop:
- Potentially frees page/skb that will be reallocated while hot.
- Account for the cpu cycles in the @time_limit determination.
- Keep softnet_data.defer_count small to reduce chances for
skb_attempt_defer_free() to send an IPI.

A cpu can observe sd->defer_count reaching 128,
and call smp_call_function_single_async()
Problem is that the remote CPU can clear sd->defer_count
before the IPI is run/acknowledged.
Other cpus can queue more packets and also decide
to call smp_call_function_single_async() while the pending
IPI was not yet delivered.
This is a common issue with smp_call_function_single_async().
Callers must ensure correct synchronization and serialization.
I triggered this issue while experimenting smaller threshold.
Performing the call to smp_call_function_single_async()

Allow the gro_max_size to exceed a value larger than 65536.
There weren't really any external limitations that prevented this other
than the fact that IPv4 only supports a 16 bit length field. Since we have
the option of adding a hop-by-hop header for IPv6 we can allow IPv6 to
exceed this value and for IPv4 and non-TCP flows we can cap things at 65536
via a constant rather than relying on gro_max_size.
[edumazet] limit GRO_MAX_SIZE to (8 * 65535) to avoid overflows.

The code for gso_max_size was added originally to allow for debugging and
workaround of buggy devices that couldn't support TSO with blocks 64K in
size. The original reason for limiting it to 64K was because that was the
existing limits of IPv4 and non-jumbogram IPv6 length fields.
With the addition of Big TCP we can remove this limit and allow the value
to potentially go up to UINT_MAX and instead be limited by the tso_max_size
value.
So in order to support this we need to go through and clean up the
remaining users of the gso_max_size value so that the values will cap at
64K for non-TCPv6 flows. In addition we can clean up the GSO_MAX_SIZE value
so that 64K becomes GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE and UINT_MAX will now be the upper
limit for GSO_MAX_SIZE.
v6: (edumazet) fixed a compile error if CONFIG_IPV6=n,
in a new sk_trim_gso_size() helper.
netif_set_tso_max_size() caps the requested TSO size
with GSO_MAX_SIZE.

Up until commit 46e6b992c2 ("rtnetlink: allow GSO maximums to
be set on device creation") the gso_max_segs and gso_max_size
of a device were not controlled from user space.
The quoted commit added the ability to control them because of
the following setup:
netns A | netns B
veth<->veth eth0
If eth0 has TSO limitations and user wants to efficiently forward
traffic between eth0 and the veths they should copy the TSO
limitations of eth0 onto the veths. This would happen automatically
for macvlans or ipvlan but veth users are not so lucky (given the
loose coupling).
Unfortunately the commit in question allowed users to also override
the limits on real HW devices.
It may be useful to control the max GSO size and someone may be using
that ability (not that I know of any user), so create a separate set
of knobs to reliably record the TSO limitations. Validate the user
requests.

Most drivers should not have to worry about selecting the right
weight for their NAPI instances and pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT.
It'd be best if we didn't require the argument at all and selected
the default internally.
This change prepares the ground for such reshuffling, allowing
for a smooth transition. The following API should remain after
the next release cycle:
netif_napi_add()
netif_napi_add_weight()
netif_napi_add_tx()
netif_napi_add_tx_weight()
Where the _weight() variants take an explicit weight argument.
I opted for a _weight() suffix rather than a __ prefix, because
we use __ in places to mean that caller needs to also issue a
synchronize_net() call.

The macro dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() disables preemption and invokes
netdev_core_stats_alloc() to return a per-CPU pointer.
netdev_core_stats_alloc() will allocate memory on its first invocation
which breaks on PREEMPT_RT because it requires non-atomic context for
memory allocation.
This can be avoided by enabling preemption in netdev_core_stats_alloc()
assuming the caller always disables preemption.
It might be better to replace local_inc() with this_cpu_inc() now that
dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() gained a preempt-disable section and does
not rely on already disabled preemption. This results in less

Logic added in commit f35f821935 ("tcp: defer skb freeing after socket
lock is released") helped bulk TCP flows to move the cost of skbs
frees outside of critical section where socket lock was held.
But for RPC traffic, or hosts with RFS enabled, the solution is far from
being ideal.
For RPC traffic, recvmsg() has to return to user space right after
skb payload has been consumed, meaning that BH handler has no chance
to pick the skb before recvmsg() thread. This issue is more visible
with BIG TCP, as more RPC fit one skb.
For RFS, even if BH handler picks the skbs, they are still picked
from the cpu on which user thread is running.
Ideally, it is better to free the skbs (and associated page frags)
on the cpu that originally allocated them.
This patch removes the per socket anchor (sk->defer_list) and
instead uses a per-cpu list, which will hold more skbs per round.
This new per-cpu list is drained at the end of net_action_rx(),
after incoming packets have been processed, to lower latencies.
In normal conditions, skbs are added to the per-cpu list with
no further action. In the (unlikely) cases where the cpu does not
run net_action_rx() handler fast enough, we use an IPI to raise
NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on the remote cpu.
Also, we do not bother draining the per-cpu list from dev_cpu_dead()
This is because skbs in this list have no requirement on how fast
they should be freed.
Note that we can add in the future a small per-cpu cache
if we see any contention on sd->defer_lock.
Tested on a pair of hosts with 100Gbit NIC, RFS enabled,
and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem[2] tuned to 16MB to work around
page recycling strategy used by NIC driver (its page pool capacity
being too small compared to number of skbs/pages held in sockets
receive queues)
Note that this tuning was only done to demonstrate worse
conditions for skb freeing for this particular test.
These conditions can happen in more general production workload.

This patch fixes issue:
* If we install tc filters with act_skbedit in clsact hook.
It doesn't work, because netdev_core_pick_tx() overwrites
queue_mapping.
$ tc filter ... action skbedit queue_mapping 1
And this patch is useful:
* We can use FQ + EDT to implement efficient policies. Tx queues
are picked by xps, ndo_select_queue of netdev driver, or skb hash
in netdev_core_pick_tx(). In fact, the netdev driver, and skb
hash are _not_ under control. xps uses the CPUs map to select Tx
queues, but we can't figure out which task_struct of pod/containter
running on this cpu in most case. We can use clsact filters to classify
one pod/container traffic to one Tx queue. Why ?
In containter networking environment, there are two kinds of pod/
containter/net-namespace. One kind (e.g. P1, P2), the high throughput
is key in these applications. But avoid running out of network resource,
the outbound traffic of these pods is limited, using or sharing one
dedicated Tx queues assigned HTB/TBF/FQ Qdisc. Other kind of pods
(e.g. Pn), the low latency of data access is key. And the traffic is not
limited. Pods use or share other dedicated Tx queues assigned FIFO Qdisc.
This choice provides two benefits. First, contention on the HTB/FQ Qdisc
lock is significantly reduced since fewer CPUs contend for the same queue.
More importantly, Qdisc contention can be eliminated completely if each
CPU has its own FIFO Qdisc for the second kind of pods.
There must be a mechanism in place to support classifying traffic based on
pods/container to different Tx queues. Note that clsact is outside of Qdisc
while Qdisc can run a classifier to select a sub-queue under the lock.
In general recording the decision in the skb seems a little heavy handed.
This patch introduces a per-CPU variable, suggested by Eric.
The xmit.skip_txqueue flag is firstly cleared in __dev_queue_xmit().
- Tx Qdisc may install that skbedit actions, then xmit.skip_txqueue flag
is set in qdisc->enqueue() though tx queue has been selected in
netdev_tx_queue_mapping() or netdev_core_pick_tx(). That flag is cleared
firstly in __dev_queue_xmit(), is useful:
- Avoid picking Tx queue with netdev_tx_queue_mapping() in next netdev
in such case: eth0 macvlan - eth0.3 vlan - eth0 ixgbe-phy:
For example, eth0, macvlan in pod, which root Qdisc install skbedit
queue_mapping, send packets to eth0.3, vlan in host. In __dev_queue_xmit() of
eth0.3, clear the flag, does not select tx queue according to skb->queue_mapping
because there is no filters in clsact or tx Qdisc of this netdev.
Same action taked in eth0, ixgbe in Host.
- Avoid picking Tx queue for next packet. If we set xmit.skip_txqueue
in tx Qdisc (qdisc->enqueue()), the proper way to clear it is clearing it
in __dev_queue_xmit when processing next packets.
For performance reasons, use the static key. If user does not config the NET_EGRESS,
the patch will not be compiled.

There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
- netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
what the APIs are;
- netdevice.h is very long;
- we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
incremental builds.
Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.
The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.
More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more

In [1], Will raised a potential issue that the cfg80211 code,
which does (from a locking perspective)
rtnl_lock()
wiphy_lock()
rtnl_unlock()
might be suspectible to ABBA deadlocks, because rtnl_unlock()
calls netdev_run_todo(), which might end up calling rtnl_lock()
again, which could then deadlock (see the comment in the code
added here for the scenario).
Some back and forth and thinking ensued, but clearly this can't
happen if the net_todo_list is empty at the rtnl_unlock() here.
Clearly, the code here cannot actually put an entry on it, and
all other users of rtnl_unlock() will empty it since that will
always go through netdev_run_todo(), emptying the list.
So the only other way to get there would be to add to the list
and then unlock the RTNL without going through rtnl_unlock(),
which is only possible through __rtnl_unlock(). However, this
isn't exported and not used in many places, and none of them
seem to be able to unregister before using it.
Therefore, add a WARN_ON() in the code to ensure this invariant
won't be broken, so that the cfg80211 (or any similar) code
stays safe.

Network drivers can call to netif_get_num_default_rss_queues to get the

Instead, as suggested by Jakub, use the number of physical cores divided

threads, but still allowing to scale for high-end processors with many
cores.
As an exception, select 2 queues for processors with 2 cores, because
otherwise it won't take any advantage of RSS despite being SMP capable.

not found to handle the skb. For this purpose, the drop reason
SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT is introduced. Take ether packets for
example, this case mainly happens when L3 protocol is not supported.

The previous patches handled the delivery_time in the ingress path
before the routing decision is made. This patch can postpone clearing
delivery_time in a skb until knowing it is delivered locally and also
set the (rcv) timestamp if needed. This patch moves the
skb_clear_delivery_time() from dev.c to ip_local_deliver_finish()
and ip6_input_finish().

The previous patches handled the delivery_time before sch_handle_ingress().
This patch can now set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp
and also clear it with skb_clear_delivery_time() after
sch_handle_ingress(). This will make the bpf_redirect_*()
to keep the mono delivery_time and used by a qdisc (fq) of
the egress-ing interface.
A latter patch will postpone the skb_clear_delivery_time() until the
stack learns that the skb is being delivered locally and that will
make other kernel forwarding paths (ip[6]_forward) able to keep
the delivery_time also. Thus, like the previous patches on using
the skb->mono_delivery_time bit, calling skb_clear_delivery_time()
is not limited within the CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to avoid too many code
churns among this set.

In __skb_tstamp_tx(), it may clone the egress skb and queues the clone to
the sk_error_queue. The outgoing skb may have the mono delivery_time
while the (rcv) timestamp is expected for the clone, so the
skb->mono_delivery_time bit needs to be cleared from the clone.
This patch adds the skb->mono_delivery_time clearing to the existing
__net_timestamp() and use it in __skb_tstamp_tx().
The __net_timestamp() fast path usage in dev.c is changed to directly
call ktime_get_real() since the mono_delivery_time bit is not set at
that point.

A latter patch will set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp.
skb_clear_tstamp() will then keep this delivery_time during forwarding.
This patch is to make the network tapping (with af_packet) to handle
the delivery_time stored in skb->tstamp.
Regardless of tapping at the ingress or egress, the tapped skb is
received by the af_packet socket, so it is ingress to the af_packet
socket and it expects the (rcv) timestamp.
When tapping at egress, dev_queue_xmit_nit() is used. It has already
expected skb->tstamp may have delivery_time, so it does
skb_clone()+net_timestamp_set() to ensure the cloned skb has
the (rcv) timestamp before passing to the af_packet sk.
This patch only adds to clear the skb->mono_delivery_time
bit in net_timestamp_set().
When tapping at ingress, it currently expects the skb->tstamp is either 0
or the (rcv) timestamp. Meaning, the tapping at ingress path
has already expected the skb->tstamp could be 0 and it will get
the (rcv) timestamp by ktime_get_real() when needed.
There are two cases for tapping at ingress:
One case is af_packet queues the skb to its sk_receive_queue.
The skb is either not shared or new clone created. The newly
added skb_clear_delivery_time() is called to clear the
delivery_time (if any) and set the (rcv) timestamp if
needed before the skb is queued to the sk_receive_queue.
Another case, the ingress skb is directly copied to the rx_ring
and tpacket_get_timestamp() is used to get the (rcv) timestamp.
The newly added skb_tstamp() is used in tpacket_get_timestamp()
to check the skb->mono_delivery_time bit before returning skb->tstamp.
As mentioned earlier, the tapping@ingress has already expected
the skb may not have the (rcv) timestamp (because no sk has asked
for it) and has handled this case by directly calling ktime_get_real().

Offloading switch device drivers may be able to collect statistics of the
traffic taking place in the HW datapath that pertains to a certain soft
netdevice, such as VLAN. Add the necessary infrastructure to allow exposing
these statistics to the offloaded netdevice in question. The API was shaped
by the following considerations:
- Collection of HW statistics is not free: there may be a finite number of
counters, and the act of counting may have a performance impact. It is
therefore necessary to allow toggling whether HW counting should be done
for any particular SW netdevice.
- As the drivers are loaded and removed, a particular device may get
offloaded and unoffloaded again. At the same time, the statistics values
need to stay monotonic (modulo the eventual 64-bit wraparound),
increasing only to reflect traffic measured in the device.
To that end, the netdevice keeps around a lazily-allocated copy of struct
rtnl_link_stats64. Device drivers then contribute to the values kept
therein at various points. Even as the driver goes away, the struct stays
around to maintain the statistics values.
- Different HW devices may be able to count different things. The
motivation behind this patch in particular is exposure of HW counters on
Nvidia Spectrum switches, where the only practical approach to counting
traffic on offloaded soft netdevices currently is to use router interface
counters, and count L3 traffic. Correspondingly that is the statistics
suite added in this patch.
Other devices may be able to measure different kinds of traffic, and for
that reason, the APIs are built to allow uniform access to different
statistics suites.
- Because soft netdevices and offloading drivers are only loosely bound, a
netdevice uses a notifier chain to communicate with the drivers. Several
new notifiers, NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_*, have been added to carry messages
to the offloading drivers.
- Devices can have various conditions for when a particular counter is
available. As the device is configured and reconfigured, the device
offload may become or cease being suitable for counter binding. A
netdevice can use a notifier type NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_REPORT_USED to
ping offloading drivers and determine whether anyone currently implements
a given statistics suite. This information can then be propagated to user
space.
When the driver decides to unoffload a netdevice, it can use a
newly-added function, netdev_offload_xstats_report_delta(), to record
outstanding collected statistics, before destroying the HW counter.
This patch adds a helper, call_netdevice_notifiers_info_robust(), for
dispatching a notifier with the possibility of unwind when one of the
consumers bails. Given the wish to eventually get rid of the global
notifier block altogether, this helper only invokes the per-netns notifier
block.

I missed the obvious case where netif_ix() is invoked from hard-IRQ
context.
Disabling bottom halves is only needed in process context. This ensures
that the code remains on the current CPU and that the soft-interrupts
are processed at local_bh_enable() time.
In hard- and soft-interrupt context this is already the case and the
soft-interrupts will be processed once the context is left (at irq-exit
time).
Disable bottom halves if neither hard-interrupts nor soft-interrupts are
disabled. Update the kernel-doc, mention that interrupts must be enabled
if invoked from process context.
