Kees Cook 2618a0dae0 etherdevice: Adjust ether_addr* prototypes to silence -Wstringop-overead
With GCC 12, -Wstringop-overread was warning about an implicit cast from
char[6] to char[8]. However, the extra 2 bytes are always thrown away,
alignment doesn't matter, and the risk of hitting the edge of unallocated
memory has been accepted, so this prototype can just be converted to a
regular char *. Silences:

Jakub Kicinski e80094a473 ethernet: add a helper for assigning port addresses
We have 5 drivers which offset base MAC addr by port id.
Create a helper for them.

Jakub Kicinski ba530fea8c ethernet: remove random_ether_addr()
random_ether_addr() was the original name of the helper which
was kept for backward compatibility (?) after the rename in
commit 0a4dd59498 ("etherdevice: Rename random_ether_addr
to eth_random_addr").

We have a single random_ether_addr() caller left in tree
while there are 70 callers of eth_random_addr().
Time to drop this define.

Daniel Borkmann says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-28

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Introduce BPF socket local storage map so that BPF programs can store
   private data they associate with a socket (instead of e.g. separate hash
   table), from Martin.

2) Add support for bpftool to dump BTF types. This is done through a new
   `bpftool btf dump` sub-command, from Andrii.

3) Enable BPF-based flow dissector for skb-less eth_get_headlen() calls which
   was currently not supported since skb was used to lookup netns, from Stanislav.

4) Add an opt-in interface for tracepoints to expose a writable context
   for attached BPF programs, used here for NBD sockets, from Matt.

5) BPF xadd related arm64 JIT fixes and scalability improvements, from Daniel.

6) Change the skb->protocol for bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper in order to
   support tunnels such as sit. Add selftests as well, from Willem.

7) Various smaller misc fixes.

Alexander Duyck 2c7a88c252 etherdev: Fix sparse error, make test usable by other functions
This change does two things.  First it fixes a sparse error for the fact
that the __be16 degrades to an integer.  Since that is actually what I am
kind of doing I am simply working around that by forcing both sides of the
comparison to u16.

Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for
big endian systems such as PowerPC since it was masking the value before
doing the comparison.  So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out
and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN.

Lastly I pulled this all out into its own function.  I notices there are
similar checks in a number of other places so this function can be reused
there to help reduce overhead in these paths as well.

Alexander Duyck 9c0c112422 net: Add functions for handling padding frame and adding to length
This patch adds two new helper functions skb_put_padto and eth_skb_pad.
These functions deviate from the standard skb_pad or skb_padto in that they
will also update the length and tail pointers so that they reflect the
padding added to the frame.

The eth_skb_pad helper is meant to be used with Ethernet devices to update
either Rx or Tx frames so that they report the correct size.  The
skb_put_padto helper is meant to be used primarily in the transmit path for
network devices that need frames to be padded up to some minimum size and
don't wish to simply update the length somewhere external to the frame.

The motivation behind this is that there are a number of implementations
throughout the network device drivers that are all doing the same thing,
but each a little bit differently and as a result several implementations
contain bugs such as updating the length without updating the tail offset
and other similar issues.

changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.

I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff.  The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

Joe Perches 286ab723d4 etherdevice: Use ether_addr_copy to copy an Ethernet address
Some systems can use the normally known u16 alignment of
Ethernet addresses to save some code/text bytes and cycles.

This does not change currently emitted code on x86 by gcc 4.8.

Joe Perches 2c722fe1c8 etherdevice: Optimize a few is_<foo>_ether_addr functions
If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
several is_<foo>_ether_addr functions can be slightly
improved by using u32 dereferences.

I believe all current uses of is_zero_ether_addr and
is_broadcast_ether_addr are u16 aligned, so always use
u16 references to improve those functions performance.

Document the u16 alignment requirements.

Joe Perches 73eaef87e9 etherdevice: Add ether_addr_equal_unaligned
Add a generic routine to test if possibly unaligned
to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
this uses the slightly faster generic routine
ether_addr_equal, otherwise this uses memcmp.

Joe Perches 0d74c42f78 ether_addr_equal: Optimize implementation, remove unused compare_ether_addr
Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
slightly improve function performance.

Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
used only once.

Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.

Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
could occur with ether_addr_equal.

Joe Perches f629d208d2 [networking]device.h: Remove extern from function prototypes
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

Stefan Hajnoczi fa0879e37b net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling
When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
callers to implement error handling nicely.

This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.

We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access.  Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.

John Fastabend b3343a2a2c net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV mode
In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.

   eth0.1     eth0.2     eth0
   VF         VF         PF
   |          |          |   <-- stand-in for uplink
   |          |          |
  --------------------------
  |  Embedded Switch       |
  --------------------------
              |
             MAC   <-- uplink

But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.

In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.

This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.
