Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a
data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space
and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers
the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all
the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via
sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes.

The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
over the window.

Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the
window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh
on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same
property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best.

Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the
information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <=
3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <=
now). These invariants determine the structure of the code

The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured
from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps.

The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the
window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec
even if the true RTT is below that.

The pfmemalloc bit is currently checked in sk_filter().

This works correctly for TCP, because sk_filter() is ran in

For UDP or other protocols, this does not work, because the sk_filter()

A recent change to the dst_output handling caused a new warning
when the call to NF_HOOK() is the only used of a local variable
passed as 'dev', and CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled:

net/ipv6/ip6_output.c: In function 'ip6_output':
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:135:21: warning: unused variable 'dev' [-Wunused-variable]

The reason for this is that the NF_HOOK macro in this case does
not reference the variable at all, and the call to dev_net(dev)
got removed from the ip6_output function. To avoid that warning now
and in the future, this changes the macro into an equivalent
inline function, which tells the compiler that the variable is
passed correctly but still unused.

The dn_forward function apparently had the same problem in
the past and added a local workaround that no longer works
with the inline function. In order to avoid a regression, we
have to also remove the #ifdef from decnet in the same patch.

By design, when no default MAC addresses are set in the Hypervisor for VFs,
the VFs are passed zero-macs. When such a MAC is received by the VF, it
generates a random MAC address and registers that MAC address
with the Hypervisor.

This random mac generation is currently done in the mlx4_en module.
There is a problem, though, if the mlx4_ib module is loaded by a VF before
the mlx4_en module. In this case, for RoCE, mlx4_ib will see the un-replaced
zero-mac and register that zero-mac as part of QP1 initialization.

Having a zero-mac in the port's MAC table creates problems for a
Baseboard Management Console. The BMC occasionally sends packets with a
zero-mac destination MAC. If there is a zero-mac present in the port's
MAC table, the FW will send such BMC packets to the host driver rather than
to the wire, and BMC will stop working.

To address this problem, we move the replacement of zero-mac addresses
with random-mac addresses to procedure mlx4_slave_cap(), which is part of the
driver startup for VFs, and is before activation of mlx4_ib and mlx4_en.
As a result, zero-mac addresses will never be registered in the port MAC table
by the driver.

In addition, when mlx4_en does initialize the net device, it needs to set
the NET_ADDR_RANDOM flag in the netdev structure if the address was
randomly generated. This is done so that udev on the VM does not create
a new device name after each VF probe (VM boot and such). To accomplish this,
we add a per-port flag in mlx4_dev which gets set whenever mlx4_core replaces
a zero-mac with a randomly-generated mac. This flag is examined when mlx4_en
initializes the net-device.

The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
multiple reasons:

a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
   user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
   mode (other than x32).

b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
   space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
   time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
   with the current kernel interface.
   Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
   users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
   safe user space.

This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.

We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
b).

The downside of this approach is that any user space program
that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
and new headers though.

We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
not acceptable.

This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP
redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is
retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the
usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the
redirect.

The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the
following scenario:

Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet,
they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to
x.x.x.254/24.

If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP
router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the
source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the
interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2.

The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2,
and will continue to use the wrong next-op.

By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets

a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them.

These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder

This commits adds setsockopt() support and extends SO_REUSEPORT selection
logic : If a TCP listener or UDP socket has this option set, a packet is
delivered to this socket only if CPU handling the packet matches the specified
one.

This allows to build very efficient TCP servers, using one listener per
RX queue, as the associated TCP listener should only accept flows handled
in softirq by the same cpu.
This provides optimal NUMA behavior and keep cpu caches hot.

Note that __inet_lookup_listener() still has to iterate over the list of

since eBPF programs and maps use kernel memory consider it 'locked' memory

bpf+tracing programs would need to increase it, since they use maps,
but kernel charges maximum map size upfront.
For example the hash map of 1024 elements will be charged as 64Kbyte.

In order to let unprivileged users load and execute eBPF programs
teach verifier to prevent pointer leaks.
Verifier will prevent
- any arithmetic on pointers
  (except R10+Imm which is used to compute stack addresses)
- comparison of pointers
  (except if (map_value_ptr == 0) ... )
- passing pointers to helper functions
- indirectly passing pointers in stack to helper functions
- returning pointer from bpf program
- storing pointers into ctx or maps

Spill/fill of pointers into stack is allowed, but mangling
of pointers stored in the stack or reading them byte by byte is not.

Within bpf programs the pointers do exist, since programs need to
be able to access maps, pass skb pointer to LD_ABS insns, etc
but programs cannot pass such pointer values to the outside
or obfuscate them.

Only allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER unprivileged programs,
so that socket filters (tcpdump), af_packet (quic acceleration)
and future kcm can use it.
tracing and tc cls/act program types still require root permissions,
since tracing actually needs to be able to see all kernel pointers
and tc is for root only.

For example, the following unprivileged socket filter program is allowed:
int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
  u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol));
  u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index);

  if (value)
	*value += skb->len;
  return 0;
}

but the following program is not:
int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
  u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol));
  u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index);

  if (value)
	*value += (u64) skb;
  return 0;
}
since it would leak the kernel address into the map.

Unprivileged socket filter bpf programs have access to the
following helper functions:
- map lookup/update/delete (but they cannot store kernel pointers into them)
- get_random (it's already exposed to unprivileged user space)
- get_smp_processor_id
- tail_call into another socket filter program
- ktime_get_ns

The feature is controlled by sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled.
This toggle defaults to off (0), but can be set true (1).  Once true,
bpf programs and maps cannot be accessed from unprivileged process,
and the toggle cannot be set back to false.

The object and module refcounts are updated for each conntrack template,
