Allow kernel services using AF_RXRPC to indicate that a call should be
non-interruptible. This allows kafs to make things like lock-extension and
writeback data storage calls non-interruptible.
If this is set, signals will be ignored for operations on that call where
possible - such as waiting to get a call channel on an rxrpc connection.
It doesn't prevent UDP sendmsg from being interrupted, but that will be
handled by packet retransmission.
rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() isn't affected by this since that never waits,
preferring instead to return -EAGAIN and leave the waiting to the caller.
Userspace initiated calls can't be set to be uninterruptible at this time.

To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP
message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit.
I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of
ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too
Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded.
There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow()
aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply().
Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says
that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus,
I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that
doesn't rate limit informational messages.
v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL
isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove
unnecessary conditional before kfree().
v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated. Still is a
pointer to it is needed because of the way proc_do_large_bitmap work.

fib_trie implementation calls synchronize_rcu when a certain amount of
pages are dirty from freed entries. The number of pages was determined
experimentally in 2009 (commit c3059477fc).
At the current setting, synchronize_rcu is called often -- 51 times in a
second in one test with an average of an 8 msec delay adding a fib entry.
The total impact is a lot of slow down modifying the fib. This is seen
in the output of 'time' - the difference between real time and sys+user.
For example, using 720,022 single path routes and 'ip -batch'[1]:
$ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops
real 0m14.214s
user 0m2.513s
sys 0m6.783s
So roughly 35% of the actual time to install the routes is from the ip
command getting scheduled out, most notably due to synchronize_rcu (this
is observed using 'perf sched timehist').
This patch makes the amount of dirty memory configurable between 64k where
the synchronize_rcu is called often (small, low end systems that are memory
sensitive) to 64M where synchronize_rcu is called rarely during a large
FIB change (for high end systems with lots of memory). The default is 512kB
which corresponds to the current setting of 128 pages with a 4kB page size.
As an example, at 16MB the worst interval shows 4 calls to synchronize_rcu
in a second blocking for up to 30 msec in a single instance, and a total
of almost 100 msec across the 4 calls in the second. The trade off is
allowing FIB entries to consume more memory in a given time window but
but with much better fib insertion rates (~30% increase in prefixes/sec).
With this patch and net.ipv4.fib_sync_mem set to 16MB, the same batch
file runs in:
$ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops
real 0m9.692s
user 0m2.491s
sys 0m6.769s
So the dead time is reduced to about 1/2 second or <5% of the real time.
[1] 'ip' modified to not request ACK messages which improves route
insertion times by about 20%

BPF programs run under preemption disabled context, from Peter.
3) Introduce per BPF prog stats in order to monitor the usage

knob where monitoring tools can make use of this to efficiently
determine the average cost of programs, from Alexei.
4) Split up BPF selftest's test_progs similarly as we already
did with test_verifier. This allows to further reduce merge
conflicts in future and to get more structure into our
quickly growing BPF selftest suite, from Stanislav.
5) Fix a bug in BTF's dedup algorithm which can cause an infinite
loop in some circumstances; also various BPF doc fixes and
improvements, from Andrii.
6) Various BPF sample cleanups and migration to libbpf in order
to further isolate the old sample loader code (so we can get
rid of it at some point), from Jakub.

On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory

What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the

to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's
races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to

All users of the fixed_phy_add() pass -1 as GPIO number
to the fixed phy driver, and all users of fixed_phy_register()
pass -1 as GPIO number as well, except for the device
tree MDIO bus.
Any new users should create a proper device and pass the
GPIO as a descriptor associated with the device so delete
the GPIO argument from the calls and drop the code looking
requesting a GPIO in fixed_phy_add().
In fixed phy_register(), investigate the "fixed-link"
node and pick the GPIO descriptor from "link-gpios" if
this property exists. Move the corresponding code out
of of_mdio.c as the fixed phy code anyways requires
OF to be in use.

pull-request: bpf-next 2019-01-29
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Teach verifier dead code removal, this also allows for optimizing /
removing conditional branches around dead code and to shrink the
resulting image. Code store constrained architectures like nfp would
have hard time doing this at JIT level, from Jakub.
2) Add JMP32 instructions to BPF ISA in order to allow for optimizing
code generation for 32-bit sub-registers. Evaluation shows that this
can result in code reduction of ~5-20% compared to 64 bit-only code
generation. Also add implementation for most JITs, from Jiong.
3) Add support for __int128 types in BTF which is also needed for
vmlinux's BTF conversion to work, from Yonghong.
4) Add a new command to bpftool in order to dump a list of BPF-related
parameters from the system or for a specific network device e.g. in
terms of available prog/map types or helper functions, from Quentin.
5) Add AF_XDP sock_diag interface for querying sockets from user
space which provides information about the RX/TX/fill/completion
rings, umem, memory usage etc, from Björn.
6) Add skb context access for skb_shared_info->gso_segs field, from Eric.

The changes introduced to allow rxrpc calls to be retried creates an issue
when it comes to refcounting afs_call structs. The problem is that when
rxrpc_send_data() queues the last packet for an asynchronous call, the
following sequence can occur:
(1) The notify_end_tx callback is invoked which causes the state in the
afs_call to be changed from AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING or
AFS_CALL_SV_REPLYING.
(2) afs_deliver_to_call() can then process event notifications from rxrpc
on the async_work queue.
(3) Delivery of events, such as an abort from the server, can cause the
afs_call state to be changed to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE on async_work.
(4) For an asynchronous call, afs_process_async_call() notes that the call
is complete and tried to clean up all the refs on async_work.
(5) rxrpc_send_data() might return the amount of data transferred
(success) or an error - which could in turn reflect a local error or a
received error.
Synchronising the clean up after rxrpc_kernel_send_data() returns an error
with the asynchronous cleanup is then tricky to get right.
Mostly revert commit c038a58ccf. The two API
functions the original commit added aren't currently used. This makes
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() always return successfully if it queued the data
it was given.
Note that this doesn't affect synchronous calls since their Rx notification
function merely pokes a wait queue and does not refcounting. The
asynchronous call notification function *has* to do refcounting and pass a
ref over the work item to avoid the need to sync the workqueue in call
cleanup.

The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:
1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
invocation.
2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).
It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
request) right before the 5 second window lapses:
-----|---------x|----------|-----
t-5 t t+5
If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.
Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
"Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".
One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
whole point of having separate thresholds.
3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
especially during startup.
This patch addresses these problems as follows:
1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
added to this list.
The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the
total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only
walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict.
2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the
front.
3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds
ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2.
4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
gc_thresh2.
5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
entries.

Many drivers load the device's firmware image during the initialization
flow either from the flash or from the disk. Currently this option is not
controlled by the user and the driver decides from where to load the
firmware image.
'fw_load_policy' gives the ability to control this option which allows the
user to choose between different loading policies supported by the driver.
This parameter can be useful while testing and/or debugging the device. For
example, testing a firmware bug fix.

Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:
| Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
| formal, and "while" is the common word.
|
| [...]
|
| Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
| use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
| uses?
dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.
Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".
