When hacking tc programs with eBPF, one of the issues that come up
from time to time is to load addresses from headers. In eBPF as in
classic BPF, we have BPF_LD | BPF_ABS | BPF_{B,H,W} instructions that
extract a byte, half-word or word out of the skb data though helpers
such as bpf_load_pointer() (interpreter case).
F.e. extracting a whole IPv6 address could possibly look like ...
union v6addr {
struct {
__u32 p1;
__u32 p2;
__u32 p3;
__u32 p4;
};
__u8 addr[16];
};
[...]
a.p1 = htonl(load_word(skb, off));
a.p2 = htonl(load_word(skb, off + 4));
a.p3 = htonl(load_word(skb, off + 8));
a.p4 = htonl(load_word(skb, off + 12));
[...]
/* access to a.addr[...] */
This work adds a complementary helper bpf_skb_load_bytes() (we also
have bpf_skb_store_bytes()) as an alternative where the same call
would look like from an eBPF program:
ret = bpf_skb_load_bytes(skb, off, addr, sizeof(addr));
Same verifier restrictions apply as in ffeedafbf0 ("bpf: introduce
current->pid, tgid, uid, gid, comm accessors") case, where stack memory
access needs to be statically verified and thus guaranteed to be
initialized in first use (otherwise verifier cannot tell whether a
subsequent access to it is valid or not as it's runtime dependent).

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains the first batch of Netfilter updates for
the upcoming 4.5 kernel. This batch contains userspace netfilter header
compilation fixes, support for packet mangling in nf_tables, the new
tracing infrastructure for nf_tables and cgroup2 support for iptables.
More specifically, they are:
1) Two patches to include dependencies in our netfilter userspace
headers to resolve compilation problems, from Mikko Rapeli.
2) Four comestic cleanup patches for the ebtables codebase, from Ian Morris.
3) Remove duplicate include in the netfilter reject infrastructure,
from Stephen Hemminger.
4) Two patches to simplify the netfilter defragmentation code for IPv6,
patch from Florian Westphal.
5) Fix root ownership of /proc/net netfilter for unpriviledged net
namespaces, from Philip Whineray.
6) Get rid of unused fields in struct nft_pktinfo, from Florian Westphal.
7) Add mangling support to our nf_tables payload expression, from
Patrick McHardy.
8) Introduce a new netlink-based tracing infrastructure for nf_tables,
from Florian Westphal.
9) Change setter functions in nfnetlink_log to be void, from
Rami Rosen.
10) Add netns support to the cttimeout infrastructure.
11) Add cgroup2 support to iptables, from Tejun Heo.
12) Introduce nfnl_dereference_protected() in nfnetlink, from Florian.
13) Add support for mangling pkttype in the nf_tables meta expression,
also from Florian.
BTW, I need that you pull net into net-next, I have another batch that
requires changes that I don't yet see in net.

Add a new address generator mode, using the stable address generator
with an automatically generated secret. This is intended as a default
address generator mode for device types with no EUI64 implementation.
The new generator is used for ARPHRD_NONE interfaces initially, adding
default IPv6 autoconf support to e.g. tun interfaces.
If the addrgenmode is set to 'random', either by default or manually,
and no stable secret is available, then a random secret is used as
input for the stable-privacy address generator. The secret can be
read and modified like manually configured secrets, using the proc
interface. Modifying the secret will change the addrgen mode to
'stable-privacy' to indicate that it operates on a known secret.
Existing behaviour of the 'stable-privacy' mode is kept unchanged. If
a known secret is available when the device is created, then the mode
will default to 'stable-privacy' as before. The mode can be manually
set to 'random' but it will behave exactly like 'stable-privacy' in
this case. The secret will not change.

nft monitor mode can then decode and display this trace data.
Parts of LL/Network/Transport headers are provided as separate
attributes.
Otherwise, printing IP address data becomes virtually impossible
for userspace since in the case of the netdev family we really don't
want userspace to have to know all the possible link layer types
and/or sizes just to display/print an ip address.
We also don't want userspace to have to follow ipv6 header chains
to get the s/dport info, the kernel already did this work for us.
To avoid bloating nft_do_chain all data required for tracing is
encapsulated in nft_traceinfo.
The structure is initialized unconditionally(!) for each nft_do_chain
invocation.
This unconditionall call will be moved under a static key in a
followup patch.

In this attribute's documentation, it was not clear whether the delay

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Olof Johansson:
"As we've enabled multiplatform kernels on ARM, and greatly done away
with the contents under arch/arm/mach-*, there's still need for
SoC-related drivers to go somewhere.
Many of them go in through other driver trees, but we still have
drivers/soc to hold some of the "doesn't fit anywhere" lowlevel code
that might be shared between ARM and ARM64 (or just in general makes
sense to not have under the architecture directory).
This branch contains mostly such code:
- Drivers for qualcomm SoCs for SMEM, SMD and SMD-RPM, used to
communicate with power management blocks on these SoCs for use by
clock, regulator and bus frequency drivers.
- Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus driver, again used to communicate with
PMICs.
- Drivers for ARM's SCPI (System Control Processor). Not to be
confused with PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface). SCPI is
used to communicate with the assistant embedded cores doing power
management, and we have yet to see how many of them will implement
this for their hardware vs abstracting in other ways (or not at all
like in the past).
- To make confusion between SCPI and PSCI more likely, this release
also includes an update of PSCI to interface version 1.0.
- Rockchip support for power domains.

- WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple
times; in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone
for future development. There's only one ugly case of this left in
the tree (that we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the
problems there.
- fix potential deadlock in the blkdev removal path NOTE: the
(potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch. This
one is also marked for -stable.
- ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user
space vs 64-bit kernel space
- Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree
structure appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing
this (soft) requirement
- Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions'
subnode; this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition
or some other auxiliary data

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.
s390:
A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.
PPC:
Mostly bug fixes.
ARM:
No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:
- a number of fixes for the arch-timer
- introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers
- a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
for IRQ forwarding)
- some tracepoint improvements
- a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers
- some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state
x86:
Quite a few changes:
- support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new
component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
forwarding as well.
- more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let
KVM expose Hyper-V devices.
- nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster
- for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
clflushopt, clwb, pcommit
- support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel +
IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
the hypervisor
- obligatory smattering of SMM fixes
- on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
to not require help from the hypervisor"

appearance. With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or
SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during
degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.
The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
increased by performing more full-stripe writes.
