Revert commit 6c17ee44d5 (ACPI / LPSS: introduce a 'proxy' device
to power on LPSS for DMA), as it introduced registration and probe
ordering problems between devices on the LPSS that may lead to full
hard system hang on boot in some cases.
Commit e1a5848e33 ("ARM: 7924/1: mm: don't bother with reserved ttbr0
when running with LPAE") removed the use of the reserved TTBR0 value
for LPAE systems, since the ASID is held in the TTBR and can be updated
atomicly with the pgd of the next mm.
Unfortunately, this patch forgot to update flush_context, which
deliberately avoids marking the local active ASID as allocated, since we
used to switch via ASID zero and didn't need to allocate the ASID of
the previous mm. The side-effect of this is that we can allocate the
same ASID to the next mm and, between flushing the local TLB and updating
TTBR0, we can perform speculative TLB fills for userspace nG mappings
using the page table of the previous mm.
The consequence of this is that the next mm can erroneously hit some
mappings of the previous mm. Note that this was made significantly
harder to hit by a391263cd8 ("ARM: 8203/1: mm: try to re-use old ASID
assignments following a rollover") but is still theoretically possible.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the code from flush_context
that forces the allocated ASID to zero for the local CPU. Many thanks
to the Broadcom guys for tracking this one down.

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.
For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
explained in commit e3118e8359 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
As already explained in e3118e8359, running DCTCP at scale
when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
connection probability.
This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
splits single flows across multiple network paths.
Therefore, commit e3118e8359 implements this on Linux as
ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
speak against the draft.
However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.

net-timestamp: blinding
Changes
(v2 -> v3)
- rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev
(v1 -> v2)
- fix capability check in patch 2
this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser()
(rfc -> v1)
- dropped patch 4: timestamp batching
due to complexity, as discussed
- dropped patch 5: default mode
because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed
- added documentation
- minor fix, see patch 2
Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions:
1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers
2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps
This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking
legacy behavior.
Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops
timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF
from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv()
calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed
in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is
considerably simpler.
Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp
requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this
earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of
net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/
Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option.
Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and
option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.
The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.
No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
breakage of legacy applications.

switchdev offload flags
This patch series introduces new offload flags for switchdev.
Kernel network subsystems can use this flag to accelerate
network functions by offloading to hw.
I expect that there will be need for subsystem specific feature
flag in the future.
This patch series currently only addresses bridge driver link
attribute offloads to hardware.
Looking at the current state of bridge l2 offload in the kernel,
- flag 'self' is the way to directly manage the bridge device in hw via
the ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls
- flag 'master' is always used to manage the in kernel bridge devices
via the same ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls
Today these are used separately. The nic offloads use hwmode "vepa/veb" to go
directly to hw with the "self" flag.
At this point i am trying not to introduce any new user facing flags/attributes.
In the model where we want the kernel bridging to be accelerated with
hardware, we very much want the bridge driver to be involved.
In this proposal,
- The offload flag/bit helps switch asic drivers to indicate that they
accelerate the kernel networking objects/functions
- The user does not have to specify a new flag to do so. A bridge created with
switch asic ports will be accelerated if the switch driver supports it.
- The user can continue to directly manage l2 in nics (ixgbe) using the
existing hwmode/self flags
- It also does not stop users from using the 'self' flag to talk to the
switch asic driver directly
- Involving the bridge driver makes sure the add/del notifications to user
space go out after both kernel and hardware are programmed
(To selectively offload bridge port attributes,
example learning in hw only etc, we can introduce offload bits for
per bridge port flag attribute as in my previous patch
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/413211/. I have not included that in this
series)
v2
- try a different name for the offload flag/bit
- tries to solve the stacked netdev case by traversing the lowerdev
list to reach the switch port
v3 -
- Tested with bond as bridge port for the stacked device case.
Includes a bond_fix_features change to not ignore the
NETIF_F_HW_NETFUNC_OFFLOAD flag
- Some checkpatch fixes
v4 -
- rename flag to NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD
- add ndo_bridge_setlink/dellink handlers in bond and team drivers as
suggested by jiri.
- introduce default ndo_dflt_netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink/dellink

NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD flag is added to the mask, so that
netdev_increment_features does not ignore it.
This also adds ndo_bridge_setlink and ndo_bridge_dellink handlers.
These currently point to the default handlers provided by the
switchdev api.
