Use skb_add_rx_frag() to reduce the memory copy for rx data. Use a new list of rx_used to store the rx buffer which couldn't be reused yet. Besides, the total number of rx buffer may be increased or decreased dynamically. And it is limited by RTL8152_MAX_RX_AGG.

Since the "last_dissection" map holds only the flow keys for the most recent packet, there is a small race in the skb-less flow dissector tests if a new packet comes between transmitting the test packet, and reading its keys from the map. If this happens, the test packet keys will be overwritten and the test will fail. Changing the "last_dissection" map to a hash map, keyed on the source/dest port pair resolves this issue. Additionally, let's clear the last test results from the map between tests to prevent previous test cases from interfering with the following test cases.

bpftool requires libelf, and zlib for decompressing /proc/config.gz. zlib is a transitive dependency via libelf, and became mandatory since elfutils 0.165 (Jan 2016). The feature check of libelf is already done in the elfdep target of tools/lib/bpf/Makefile, pulled in by bpftool via a dependency on libbpf.a. Add a similar feature check for zlib.

Make .BTF section allocated and expose its contents through sysfs. /sys/kernel/btf directory is created to contain all the BTFs present inside kernel. Currently there is only kernel's main BTF, represented as /sys/kernel/btf/kernel file. Once kernel modules' BTFs are supported, each module will expose its BTF as /sys/kernel/btf/<module-name> file. Current approach relies on a few pieces coming together: 1. pahole is used to take almost final vmlinux image (modulo .BTF and kallsyms) and generate .BTF section by converting DWARF info into BTF. This section is not allocated and not mapped to any segment, though, so is not yet accessible from inside kernel at runtime. 2. objcopy dumps .BTF contents into binary file and subsequently convert binary file into linkable object file with automatically generated symbols _binary__btf_kernel_bin_start and _binary__btf_kernel_bin_end, pointing to start and end, respectively, of BTF raw data. 3. final vmlinux image is generated by linking this object file (and kallsyms, if necessary). sysfs_btf.c then creates /sys/kernel/btf/kernel file and exposes embedded BTF contents through it. This allows, e.g., libbpf and bpftool access BTF info at well-known location, without resorting to searching for vmlinux image on disk (location of which is not standardized and vmlinux image might not be even available in some scenarios, e.g., inside qemu during testing). Alternative approach using .incbin assembler directive to embed BTF contents directly was attempted but didn't work, because sysfs_proc.o is not re-compiled during link-vmlinux.sh stage. This is required, though, to update embedded BTF data (initially empty data is embedded, then pahole generates BTF info and we need to regenerate sysfs_btf.o with updated contents, but it's too late at that point). If BTF couldn't be generated due to missing or too old pahole, sysfs_btf.c handles that gracefully by detecting that _binary__btf_kernel_bin_start (weak symbol) is 0 and not creating /sys/kernel/btf at all. v2->v3: - added Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-btf (Greg K-H); - created proper kobject (btf_kobj) for btf directory (Greg K-H); - undo v2 change of reusing vmlinux, as it causes extra kallsyms pass due to initially missing __binary__btf_kernel_bin_{start/end} symbols; v1->v2: - allow kallsyms stage to re-use vmlinux generated by gen_btf(); Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Now that we have proper Wait Bit and Wait Mask routines, remove the unused mv88e6xxx_wait routine and its Global 1 and Global 2 variants. The indirect tables such as the Device Mapping Table or Priority Override Table make use of an Update bit to distinguish reading (0) from writing (1) operations. After a write operation occurs, the bit self clears right away so there's no need to wait on it. Thus keep things simple and remove the mv88e6xxx_update helper as well.

Many portions of the driver need to wait until a given bit is set or cleared. Some busses even have a specific implementation for this operation. In preparation for such variant, implement a generic Wait Bit routine that can be used by the driver core functions. This allows us to get rid of the custom implementations we may find in the driver. Note that for the EEPROM bits, BUSY and RUNNING bits are independent, thus it is more efficient to wait independently for each bit instead of waiting for their mask.

This adds support for the integrated 2.5Gbps PHY in Realtek RTL8125. Advertisement of 2.5Gbps mode is done via a vendor-specific register. Same applies to reading NBase-T link partner advertisement. Unfortunately this 2.5Gbps PHY shares the PHY ID with the integrated 1Gbps PHY's in other Realtek network chips and so far no method is known to differentiate them. As a workaround use a dedicated fake PHY ID that is set by the network driver by intercepting the MDIO PHY ID read. v2: - Create dedicated PHY driver and use a fake PHY ID that is injected by the network driver.

The integrated PHY in 2.5Gbps chip RTL8125 is the first (known to me) PHY that uses standard Clause 22 for all modes up to 1Gbps and adds 2.5Gbps control using vendor-specific registers. To use phylib for the standard part little extensions are needed: - Move most of genphy_config_aneg to a new function __genphy_config_aneg that takes a parameter whether restarting auto-negotiation is needed (depending on whether content of vendor-specific advertisement register changed). - Don't clear phydev->lp_advertising in genphy_read_status so that we can set non-C22 mode flags before.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== drop_monitor: Capture dropped packets and metadata So far drop monitor supported only one mode of operation in which a summary of recent packet drops is periodically sent to user space as a netlink event. The event only includes the drop location (program counter) and number of drops in the last interval. While this mode of operation allows one to understand if the system is dropping packets, it is not sufficient if a more detailed analysis is required. Both the packet itself and related metadata are missing. This patchset extends drop monitor with another mode of operation where the packet - potentially truncated - and metadata (e.g., drop location, timestamp, netdev) are sent to user space as a netlink event. Thanks to the extensible nature of netlink, more metadata can be added in the future. To avoid performing expensive operations in the context in which kfree_skb() is called, the dropped skbs are cloned and queued on per-CPU skb drop list. The list is then processed in process context (using a workqueue), where the netlink messages are allocated, prepared and finally sent to user space. A follow-up patchset will integrate drop monitor with devlink and allow the latter to call into drop monitor to report hardware drops. In the future, XDP drops can be added as well, thereby making drop monitor the go-to netlink channel for diagnosing all packet drops. Example usage with patched dropwatch [1] can be found here [2]. Example dissection of drop monitor netlink events with patched wireshark [3] can be found here [4]. I will submit both changes upstream after the kernel changes are accepted. Another change worth making is adding a dropmon pseudo interface to libpcap, similar to the nflog interface [5]. This will allow users to specifically listen on dropmon traffic instead of capturing all netlink packets via the nlmon netdev. Patches #1-#5 prepare the code towards the actual changes in later patches. Patch #6 adds another mode of operation to drop monitor in which the dropped packet itself is notified to user space along with metadata. Patch #7 allows users to truncate reported packets to a specific length, in case only the headers are of interest. The original length of the packet is added as metadata to the netlink notification. Patch #8 allows user to query the current configuration of drop monitor (e.g., alert mode, truncation length). Patches #9-#10 allow users to tune the length of the per-CPU skb drop list according to their needs. Changes since v1 [6]: * Add skb protocol as metadata. This allows user space to correctly dissect the packet instead of blindly assuming it is an Ethernet packet Changes since RFC [7]: * Limit the length of the per-CPU skb drop list and make it configurable * Do not use the hysteresis timer in packet alert mode * Introduce alert mode operations in a separate patch and only then introduce the new alert mode * Use 'skb->skb_iif' instead of 'skb->dev' because the latter is inside a union with 'dev_scratch' and therefore not guaranteed to point to a valid netdev * Return '-EBUSY' instead of '-EOPNOTSUPP' when trying to configure drop monitor while it is monitoring * Did not change schedule_work() in favor of schedule_work_on() as I did not observe a change in number of tail drops [1] https://github.com/idosch/dropwatch/tree/packet-mode [2] https://gist.github.com/idosch/3d524b887e16bc11b4b19e25c23dcc23#file-gistfile1-txt [3] https://github.com/idosch/wireshark/tree/drop-monitor-v2 [4] https://gist.github.com/idosch/3d524b887e16bc11b4b19e25c23dcc23#file-gistfile2-txt [5] https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/pcap-netfilter-linux.c [6] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1143443/ [7] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1135226/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
