powerpc's asm/prom.h includes some headers that it doesn't need itself. In order to clean powerpc's asm/prom.h up in a further step, first clean all files that include asm/prom.h Some files don't need asm/prom.h at all. For those ones, just remove inclusion of asm/prom.h Some files don't need any of the items provided by asm/prom.h, but need some of the headers included by asm/prom.h. For those ones, add the needed headers that are brought by asm/prom.h at the moment and remove asm/prom.h Some files really need asm/prom.h but also need some of the headers included by asm/prom.h. For those one, leave asm/prom.h but also add the needed headers so that they can be removed from asm/prom.h in a later step. Signed-off-by:

There are sleep in atomic bug that could cause kernel panic during firmware download process. The root cause is that nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in fw_dnld_timeout which is a timer handler. The call trace is shown below: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:265 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_node __alloc_skb nfc_genl_fw_download_done call_timer_fn __run_timers.part.0 run_timer_softirq __do_softirq ... The nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter may sleep during memory allocation process, and the timer handler is run as the result of a "software interrupt" that should not call any other function that could sleep. This patch changes allocation mode of netlink message from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic bug. The GFP_ATOMIC flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.

OCELOT_POLICER_DISCARD helps "kill dropped packets dead" since a PERMIT/DENY mask mode with a port mask of 0 isn't enough to stop the CPU port from receiving packets removed from the forwarding path. The hardcoded initialization done for it in ocelot_vcap_init() is confusing. All we need from it is to have a rate and a burst size of 0. Reuse qos_policer_conf_set() for that purpose. Signed-off-by:

As discussed here with Ido Schimmel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220224102908.5255-2-jianbol@nvidia.com/ the default conform-exceed action is "reclassify", for a reason we don't really understand. The point is that hardware can't offload that police action, so not specifying "conform-exceed" was always wrong, even though the command used to work in hardware (but not in software) until the kernel started adding validation for it. Fix the command used by the selftest by making the policer drop on exceed, and pass the packet to the next action (goto) on conform.

Willy Tarreau says: ==================== insufficient TCP source port randomness In a not-yet published paper, Moshe Kol, Amit Klein, and Yossi Gilad report being able to accurately identify a client by forcing it to emit only 40 times more connections than the number of entries in the table_perturb[] table, which is indexed by hashing the connection tuple. The current 2^8 setting allows them to perform that attack with only 10k connections, which is not hard to achieve in a few seconds. Eric, Amit and I have been working on this for a few weeks now imagining, testing and eliminating a number of approaches that Amit and his team were still able to break or that were found to be too risky or too expensive, and ended up with the simple improvements in this series that resists to the attack, doesn't degrade the performance, and preserves a reliable port selection algorithm to avoid connection failures, including the odd/even port selection preference that allows bind() to always find a port quickly even under strong connect() stress. The approach relies on several factors: - resalting the hash secret that's used to choose the table_perturb[] entry every 10 seconds to eliminate slow attacks and force the attacker to forget everything that was learned after this delay. This already eliminates most of the problem because if a client stays silent for more than 10 seconds there's no link between the previous and the next patterns, and 10s isn't yet frequent enough to cause too frequent repetition of a same port that may induce a connection failure ; - adding small random increments to the source port. Previously, a random 0 or 1 was added every 16 ports. Now a random 0 to 7 is added after each port. This means that with the default 32768-60999 range, a worst case rollover happens after 1764 connections, and an average of 3137. This doesn't stop statistical attacks but requires significantly more iterations of the same attack to confirm a guess. - increasing the table_perturb[] size from 2^8 to 2^16, which Amit says will require 2.6 million connections to be attacked with the changes above, making it pointless to get a fingerprint that will only last 10 seconds. Due to the size, the table was made dynamic. - a few minor improvements on the bits used from the hash, to eliminate some unfortunate correlations that may possibly have been exploited to design future attack models. These changes were tested under the most extreme conditions, up to 1.1 million connections per second to one and a few targets, showing no performance regression, and only 2 connection failures within 13 billion, which is less than 2^-32 and perfectly within usual values. The series is split into small reviewable changes and was already reviewed by Amit and Eric. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220502084614.24123-1-w@1wt.euSigned-off-by: -

In commit 190cc824 ("tcp: change source port randomizarion at connect() time"), the table_perturb[] array was introduced and an index was taken from the port_offset via hash_32(). But it turns out that hash_32() performs a multiplication while the input here comes from the output of SipHash in secure_seq, that is well distributed enough to avoid the need for yet another hash.

Moshe Kol, Amit Klein, and Yossi Gilad reported being able to accurately identify a client by forcing it to emit only 40 times more connections than there are entries in the table_perturb[] table. The previous two improvements consisting in resalting the secret every 10s and adding randomness to each port selection only slightly improved the situation, and the current value of 2^8 was too small as it's not very difficult to make a client emit 10k connections in less than 10 seconds. Thus we're increasing the perturb table from 2^8 to 2^16 so that the same precision now requires 2.6M connections, which is more difficult in this time frame and harder to hide as a background activity. The impact is that the table now uses 256 kB instead of 1 kB, which could mostly affect devices making frequent outgoing connections. However such components usually target a small set of destinations (load balancers, database clients, perf assessment tools), and in practice only a few entries will be visited, like before. A live test at 1 million connections per second showed no performance difference from the previous value. Reported-by:

Here we're randomly adding between 0 and 7 random increments to the selected source port in order to add some noise in the source port selection that will make the next port less predictable. With the default port range of 32768-60999 this means a worst case reuse scenario of 14116/8=1764 connections between two consecutive uses of the same port, with an average of 14116/4.5=3137. This code was stressed at more than 800000 connections per second to a fixed target with all connections closed by the client using RSTs (worst condition) and only 2 connections failed among 13 billion, despite the hash being reseeded every 10 seconds, indicating a perfectly safe situation.

SipHash replaced MD5 in secure_ipv{4,6}_port_ephemeral() via commit 7cd23e53 ("secure_seq: use SipHash in place of MD5"), but the output remained truncated to 32-bit only. In order to exploit more bits from the hash, let's make the functions return the full 64-bit of siphash_3u32(). We also make sure the port offset calculation in __inet_hash_connect() remains done on 32-bit to avoid the need for div_u64_rem() and an extra cost on 32-bit systems. Cc: Jason A.

Creating a new netdevice allocates at least ~50Kb of memory for various kernel objects, but only ~5Kb of them are accounted to memcg. As a result, creating an unlimited number of netdevice inside a memcg-limited container does not fall within memcg restrictions, consumes a significant part of the host's memory, can cause global OOM and lead to random kills of host processes. The main consumers of non-accounted memory are: ~10Kb 80+ kernfs nodes ~6Kb ipv6_add_dev() allocations 6Kb __register_sysctl_table() allocations 4Kb neigh_sysctl_register() allocations 4Kb __devinet_sysctl_register() allocations 4Kb __addrconf_sysctl_register() allocations Accounting of these objects allows to increase the share of memcg-related memory up to 60-70% (~38Kb accounted vs ~54Kb total for dummy netdevice on typical VM with default Fedora 35 kernel) and this should be enough to somehow protect the host from misuse inside container. Other related objects are quite small and may not be taken into account to minimize the expected performance degradation. It should be separately mentonied ~300 bytes of percpu allocation of struct ipstats_mib in snmp6_alloc_dev(), on huge multi-cpu nodes it can become the main consumer of memory. This patch does not enables kernfs accounting as it affects other parts of the kernel and should be discussed separately. However, even without kernfs, this patch significantly improves the current situation and allows to take into account more than half of all netdevice allocations. Signed-off-by:

Jason A. Donenfeld says: ==================== wireguard patches for 5.18-rc6 In working on some other problems, I wound up leaning on the WireGuard CI more than usual and uncovered a few small issues with reliability. These are fairly low key changes, since they don't impact kernel code itself. One change does stick out in particular, though, which is the "make routing loop test non-fatal" commit. I'm not thrilled about doing this, but currently [1] remains unsolved, and I'm still working on a real solution to that (hopefully for 5.19 or 5.20 if I can come up with a good idea...), so for now that test just prints a big red warning instead.

Rather than relying on the system to have cross toolchains available, simply download musl.cc's ones and use that libc.so, and then we use it to fill in a few missing platforms, such as riscv64, riscv64, powerpc64, and s390x. Since riscv doesn't have a second serial port in its device description, we have to use virtio's vport.
