net: Extend availability of PHY statistics
This patch series adds support for retrieving PHY statistics with DSA switches
when the CPU port uses a PHY to PHY connection (as opposed to MAC to MAC).
To get there a number of things are done:
- first we move the code dealing with PHY statistics outside of net/core/ethtool.c
and create helper functions since the same code will be reused
- then we allow network device drivers to provide an ethtool_get_phy_stats callback
when the standard PHY library helpers are not suitable
- we update the DSA functions dealing with ethtool operations to get passed a
stringset instead of assuming ETH_SS_STATS like they currently do
- then we provide a set of standard helpers within DSA as a framework and add
the plumbing to allow retrieving the PHY statistics of the CPU port(s)
- finally plug support for retrieving such PHY statistics with the b53 driver
Changes in v3:
- retrict the b53 change to 539x and 531x5 series of switches
- added a change to dsa_loop.c to help test the feature
Changes in v2:
- got actual testing when the DSA master network device has a PHY that
already provides statistics (thanks Nikita!)
- fixed the kbuild error reported when CONFIG_PHYLIB=n
- removed the checking of ops which is redundant and not needed

The main changes are:
1) Add extensive BPF helper description into include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
and a new script bpf_helpers_doc.py which allows for generating a
man page out of it. Thus, every helper in BPF now comes with proper
function signature, detailed description and return code explanation,
from Quentin.
2) Migrate the BPF collect metadata tunnel tests from BPF samples over
to the BPF selftests and further extend them with v6 vxlan, geneve
and ipip tests, simplify the ipip tests, improve documentation and
convert to bpf_ntoh*() / bpf_hton*() api, from William.
3) Currently, helpers that expect ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_{KEY,VALUE} can only
access stack and packet memory. Extend this to allow such helpers
to also use map values, which enabled use cases where value from
a first lookup can be directly used as a key for a second lookup,
from Paul.
4) Add a new helper bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state() for tc BPF programs in
order to retrieve XFRM state information containing SPI, peer
address and reqid values, from Eyal.
5) Various optimizations in nfp driver's BPF JIT in order to turn ADD
and SUB instructions with negative immediate into the opposite
operation with a positive immediate such that nfp can better fit
small immediates into instructions. Savings in instruction count
up to 4% have been observed, from Jakub.
6) Add the BPF prog's gpl_compatible flag to struct bpf_prog_info
and add support for dumping this through bpftool, from Jiri.
7) Move the BPF sockmap samples over into BPF selftests instead since
sockmap was rather a series of tests than sample anyway and this way
this can be run from automated bots, from John.
8) Follow-up fix for bpf_adjust_tail() helper in order to make it work

9) Some follow-up cleanups to BTF, namely, removing unused defines from
BTF uapi header and renaming 'name' struct btf_* members into name_off
to make it more clear they are offsets into string section, from Martin.

eBPF itself. There is a growing number of such helper functions in the
kernel, but documentation is scarce. The main user space header file
does contain a short commented description of most helpers, but it is
somewhat outdated and not complete. It is more a "cheat sheet" than a
real documentation accessible to new eBPF developers.
This commit attempts to improve the situation by replacing the existing
overview for the helpers with a more developed description. Furthermore,
a Python script is added to generate a manual page for eBPF helpers. The
workflow is the following, and requires the rst2man utility:
The objective is to keep all documentation related to the helpers in a
single place, and to be able to generate from here a manual page that
could be packaged in the man-pages repository and shipped with most
distributions.
Additionally, parsing the prototypes of the helper functions could
hopefully be reused, with a different Printer object, to generate
header files needed in some eBPF-related projects.
Regarding the description of each helper, it comprises several items:
- The function prototype.
- A description of the function and of its arguments (except for a
couple of cases, when there are no arguments and the return value
makes the function usage really obvious).
- A description of return values (if not void).
Additional items such as the list of compatible eBPF program and map
types for each helper, Linux kernel version that introduced the helper,
GPL-only restriction, and commit hash could be added in the future, but
it was decided on the mailing list to leave them aside for now.
For several helpers, descriptions are inspired (at times, nearly copied)
from the commit logs introducing them in the kernel--Many thanks to
their respective authors! Some sentences were also adapted from comments
from the reviews, thanks to the reviewers as well. Descriptions were
completed as much as possible, the objective being to have something easily
accessible even for people just starting with eBPF. There is probably a bit
more work to do in this direction for some helpers.
Some RST formatting is used in the descriptions (not in function
prototypes, to keep them readable, but the Python script provided in
order to generate the RST for the manual page does add formatting to
prototypes, to produce something pretty) to get "bold" and "italics" in
manual pages. Hopefully, the descriptions in bpf.h file remains
perfectly readable. Note that the few trailing white spaces are
intentional, removing them would break paragraphs for rst2man.
The descriptions should ideally be updated each time someone adds a new
helper, or updates the behaviour (new socket option supported, ...) or
the interface (new flags available, ...) of existing ones.
To ease the review process, the documentation has been split into several
patches.
v3 -> v4:
- Add a patch (#9) for newly added BPF helpers.
- Add a patch (#10) to update UAPI bpf.h version under tools/.
- Use SPDX tag in Python script.
- Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
Please refer to individual patches for details.
RFC v2 -> PATCH v3:
Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
Please refer to individual patches for details.
RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Remove "For" (compatible program and map types), "Since" (minimal
Linux kernel version required), "GPL only" sections and commit hashes
for the helpers.
- Add comment on top of the description list to explain how this
documentation is supposed to be processed.
- Update Python script accordingly (remove the same sections, and remove
paragraphs on program types and GPL restrictions from man page
header).
- Split series into several patches.

bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation
Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header.
Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation
(to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then
man page documentation.
Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to
process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to
turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man
to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>"
option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root
directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to
parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot
find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted
documentation is printed to standard output.
Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be:
Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers,
whose signatures are not available directly in the header files
(pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of
the compilation process).

bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state().
- Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL

End-to-end ping packet flow
---------------------------
Most of the tests start by namespace creation, device configuration,
then ping the underlay and overlay network. When doing 'ping 10.1.1.100'
from root namespace, the following operations happen:
1) Route lookup shows 10.1.1.100/24 belongs to tnl dev, fwd to tnl dev.
2) Tnl device's egress BPF program is triggered and set the tunnel metadata,
with remote_ip=172.16.1.200 and others.
3) Outer tunnel header is prepended and route the packet to veth1's egress
4) veth0's ingress queue receive the tunneled packet at namespace at_ns0
5) Tunnel protocol handler, ex: vxlan_rcv, decap the packet
6) Forward the packet to the overlay tnl dev

Merge branch 'udp-gso'
Willem de Bruijn says:
====================
udp gso
Segmentation offload reduces cycles/byte for large packets by
amortizing the cost of protocol stack traversal.
This patchset implements GSO for UDP. A process can concatenate and
submit multiple datagrams to the same destination in one send call
by setting socket option SOL_UDP/UDP_SEGMENT with the segment size,
or passing an analogous cmsg at send time.
The stack will send the entire large (up to network layer max size)
datagram through the protocol layer. At the GSO layer, it is broken
up in individual segments. All receive the same network layer header
and UDP src and dst port. All but the last segment have the same UDP
header, but the last may differ in length and checksum.
Initial results show a significant reduction in UDP cycles/byte.
See the main patch for more details and benchmark results.
The patch set is broken down as follows:
- patch 1 is a prerequisite: code rearrangement, noop otherwise
- patch 2 implements the gso logic
- patch 3 adds protocol stack support for UDP_SEGMENT
- patch 4,5,7 are refinements
- patch 6 adds the cmsg interface
- patch 8..11 are tests
This idea was presented previously at netconf 2017-2
http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf
Changes v1 -> v2
- Convert __udp_gso_segment to modify headers after skb_segment
- Split main patch into two, one for gso logic, one for UDP_SEGMENT
Changes RFC -> v1
- MSG_MORE:

- NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4:
add to netdev_features_string
and to netdev-features.txt
add BUILD_BUG_ON to match SKB_GSO_UDP_L4 value
- UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS:

to avoid extreme cases like IP_MAX_MTU/IPV4_MIN_MTU

udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT
Support generic segmentation offload for udp datagrams. Callers can
concatenate and send at once the payload of multiple datagrams with
the same destination.
To set segment size, the caller sets socket option UDP_SEGMENT to the
length of each discrete payload. This value must be smaller than or
equal to the relevant MTU.
A follow-up patch adds cmsg UDP_SEGMENT to specify segment size on a
per send call basis.
Total byte length may then exceed MTU. If not an exact multiple of
segment size, the last segment will be shorter.
The implementation adds a gso_size field to the udp socket, ip(v6)
cmsg cookie and inet_cork structure to be able to set the value at
setsockopt or cmsg time and to work with both lockless and corked
paths.

====================
1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25
This series enables some ethtool and tc-flower filters to be offloaded
to igb-based network controllers. This is useful when the system
configuration wants to steer kinds of traffic to a specific hardware
queue for i210 devices only.
The first two patch in the series are bug fixes.
The basis of this series is to export the internal API used to
configure address filters, so they can be used by ethtool, and
extending the functionality so an source address can be handled.
Then, we enable the tc-flower offloading implementation to re-use the
same infrastructure as ethtool, and storing them in the per-adapter
"nfc" (Network Filter Config?) list. But for consistency, for
destructive access they are separated, i.e. an filter added by
tc-flower can only be removed by tc-flower, but ethtool can read them
all.
Only support for VLAN Prio, Source and Destination MAC Address, and
Ethertype is enabled for now.
