      ipv6: tcp_ipv6 policy route issue · 9c76a114
      Wang Yufen authored
      The issue raises when adding policy route, specify a particular
      NIC as oif, the policy route did not take effect. The reason is
      that fl6.oif is not set and route map failed. From the
      tcp_v6_send_response function, if the binding address is linklocal,
      fl6.oif is set, but not for global address.

      Yegor Yefremov authored
      This device provides QMI and ethernet functionality via a standard CDC
      ethernet descriptor.  But when driven by cdc_ether, the QMI
      functionality is unavailable because only cdc_ether can claim the USB
      interface. Thus blacklist the device in cdc_ether and add its IDs to
      qmi_wwan, which enables both QMI and ethernet simultaneously.

      ====================
      BPF updates
      
      We sat down and have heavily reworked the whole previous patchset
      from v10 [1] to address all comments/concerns. This patchset therefore
      *replaces* the internal BPF interpreter with the new layout as
      discussed in [1], and migrates some exotic callers to properly use the
      BPF API for a transparent upgrade. All other callers that already use
      the BPF API in a way it should be used, need no further changes to run
      the new internals. We also removed the sysctl knob entirely, and do not
      expose any structure to userland, so that implementation details only
      reside in kernel space. Since we are replacing the interpreter we had
      to migrate seccomp in one patch along with the interpreter to not break
      anything. When attaching a new filter, the flow can be described as
      following: i) test if jit compiler is enabled and can compile the user
      BPF, ii) if so, then go for it, iii) if not, then transparently migrate
      the filter into the new representation, and run it in the interpreter.
      Also, we have scratched the jit flag from the len attribute and made it
      as initial patch in this series as Pablo has suggested in the last
      feedback, thanks. For details, please refer to the patches themselves.
      
      We did extensive testing of BPF and seccomp on the new interpreter
      itself and also on the user ABIs and could not find any issues; new
      performance numbers as posted in patch 8 are also still the same.
      
      Please find more details in the patches themselves.
      
      For all the previous history from v1 to v10, see [1]. We have decided
      to drop the v11 as we have pedantically reworked the set, but of course,
      included all previous feedback.
      
      v3 -> v4:
       - Applied feedback from Dave regarding swap insns
       - Rebased on net-next
      v2 -> v3:
       - Rebased to latest net-next (i.e. w/ rxhash->hash rename)
       - Fixed patch 8/9 commit message/doc as suggested by Dave
       - Rest is unchanged
      v1 -> v2:
       - Rebased to latest net-next
       - Added static to ptp_filter as suggested by Dave
       - Fixed a typo in patch 8's commit message
       - Rest unchanged

      net: filter: rework/optimize internal BPF interpreter's instruction set · bd4cf0ed
      Alexei Starovoitov authored
      This patch replaces/reworks the kernel-internal BPF interpreter with
      an optimized BPF instruction set format that is modelled closer to
      mimic native instruction sets and is designed to be JITed with one to
      one mapping. Thus, the new interpreter is noticeably faster than the
      current implementation of sk_run_filter(); mainly for two reasons:
      
      1. Fall-through jumps:
      
        BPF jump instructions are forced to go either 'true' or 'false'
        branch which causes branch-miss penalty. The new BPF jump
        instructions have only one branch and fall-through otherwise,
        which fits the CPU branch predictor logic better. `perf stat`
        shows drastic difference for branch-misses between the old and
        new code.
      
      2. Jump-threaded implementation of interpreter vs switch
         statement:
      
        Instead of single table-jump at the top of 'switch' statement,
        gcc will now generate multiple table-jump instructions, which
        helps CPU branch predictor logic.
      
      Note that the verification of filters is still being done through
      sk_chk_filter() in classical BPF format, so filters from user- or
      kernel space are verified in the same way as we do now, and same
      restrictions/constraints hold as well.
      
      We reuse current BPF JIT compilers in a way that this upgrade would
      even be fine as is, but nevertheless allows for a successive upgrade
      of BPF JIT compilers to the new format.
      
      The internal instruction set migration is being done after the
      probing for JIT compilation, so in case JIT compilers are able to
      create a native opcode image, we're going to use that, and in all
      other cases we're doing a follow-up migration of the BPF program's
      instruction set, so that it can be transparently run in the new
      interpreter.
      
      In short, the *internal* format extends BPF in the following way (more
      details can be taken from the appended documentation):
      
        - Number of registers increase from 2 to 10
        - Register width increases from 32-bit to 64-bit
        - Conditional jt/jf targets replaced with jt/fall-through
        - Adds signed > and >= insns
        - 16 4-byte stack slots for register spill-fill replaced
          with up to 512 bytes of multi-use stack space
        - Introduction of bpf_call insn and register passing convention
          for zero overhead calls from/to other kernel functions
        - Adds arithmetic right shift and endianness conversion insns
        - Adds atomic_add insn
        - Old tax/txa insns are replaced with 'mov dst,src' insn
      
      Performance of two BPF filters generated by libpcap resp. bpf_asm
      was measured on x86_64, i386 and arm32 (other libpcap programs
      have similar performance differences):
      
      fprog #1 is taken from Documentation/networking/filter.txt:
      tcpdump -i eth0 port 22 -dd
      
      fprog #2 is taken from 'man tcpdump':
      tcpdump -i eth0 'tcp port 22 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) -
         ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' -dd
      
      Raw performance data from BPF micro-benchmark: SK_RUN_FILTER on the
      same SKB (cache-hit) or 10k SKBs (cache-miss); time in ns per call,
      smaller is better:
      
      --x86_64--
               fprog #1  fprog #1   fprog #2  fprog #2
               cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
      old BPF      90       101        192       202

      old BPF jit  12        34         17        44
      new BPF jit TBD
      
      --i386--
               fprog #1  fprog #1   fprog #2  fprog #2
               cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
      old BPF     107       136        227       252
      new BPF      40       119         69       172
      
      --arm32--
               fprog #1  fprog #1   fprog #2  fprog #2
               cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
      old BPF     202       300        475       540
      new BPF     180       270        330       470
      old BPF jit  26       182         37       202
      new BPF jit TBD
      
      Thus, without changing any userland BPF filters, applications on
      top of AF_PACKET (or other families) such as libpcap/tcpdump, cls_bpf
      classifier, netfilter's xt_bpf, team driver's load-balancing mode,
      and many more will have better interpreter filtering performance.
      
      While we are replacing the internal BPF interpreter, we also need
      to convert seccomp BPF in the same step to make use of the new
      internal structure since it makes use of lower-level API details
      without being further decoupled through higher-level calls like
      sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy}(), for example.
      
      Just as for normal socket filtering, also seccomp BPF experiences
      a time-to-verdict speedup:
      
      05-sim-long_jumps.c of libseccomp was used as micro-benchmark:
      
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
      
        rc = seccomp_load(ctx);
      
        for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
           syscall(199, 100);
      
      'short filter' has 2 rules
      'large filter' has 200 rules
      
      'short filter' performance is slightly better on x86_64/i386/arm32
      'large filter' is much faster on x86_64 and i386 and shows no
                     difference on arm32

      BPF filters generated by seccomp are very branchy, so the new
      internal BPF performance is better than the old one. Performance
      gains will be even higher when BPF JIT is committed for the
      new structure, which is planned in future work (as successive
      JIT migrations).
      
      BPF has also been stress-tested with trinity's BPF fuzzer.

      net: isdn: use sk_unattached_filter api · 77e0114a
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Similarly as in ppp, we need to migrate the ISDN/PPP code to make use
      of the sk_unattached_filter api in order to decouple having direct
      filter structure access. By using sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy},
      we can allow for the possibility to jit compile filters for faster
      filter verdicts as well.
      
      Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.

      net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api · 568f194e
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      For the ppp driver, there are currently two open-coded BPF filters in use,
      that is, pass_filter and active_filter. Migrate both to make proper use
      of sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy} API so that the actual BPF code
      is decoupled from direct access, and filters can be jited as a side-effect
      by the internal filter compiler.

      net: ptp: do not reimplement PTP/BPF classifier · 164d8c66
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      There are currently pch_gbe, cpts, and ixp4xx_eth drivers that open-code
      and reimplement a BPF classifier for the PTP protocol. Since all of them
      effectively do the very same thing and load the very same PTP/BPF filter,
      we can just consolidate that code by introducing ptp_classify_raw() in
      the time-stamping core framework which can be used in drivers.
      
      As drivers get initialized after bootstrapping the core networking
      subsystem, they can make use of ptp_insns wrapped through
      ptp_classify_raw(), which allows to simplify and remove PTP classifier
      setup code in drivers.

      net: ptp: use sk_unattached_filter_create() for BPF · e62d2df0
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch migrates an open-coded sk_run_filter() implementation with
      proper use of the BPF API, that is, sk_unattached_filter_create(). This
      migration is needed, as we will be internally transforming the filter
      to a different representation, and therefore needs to be decoupled.
      
      It is okay to do so as skb_timestamping_init() is called during
      initialization of the network stack in core initcall via sock_init().
      This would effectively also allow for PTP filters to be jit compiled if
      bpf_jit_enable is set.
      
      For better readability, there are also some newlines introduced, also
      ptp_classify.h is only in kernel space.

      net: filter: move filter accounting to filter core · fbc907f0
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch basically does two things, i) removes the extern keyword
      from the include/linux/filter.h file to be more consistent with the
      rest of Joe's changes, and ii) moves filter accounting into the filter
      core framework.
      
      Filter accounting mainly done through sk_filter_{un,}charge() take
      care of the case when sockets are being cloned through sk_clone_lock()
      so that removal of the filter on one socket won't result in eviction
      as it's still referenced by the other.
      
      These functions actually belong to net/core/filter.c and not
      include/net/sock.h as we want to keep all that in a central place.
      It's also not in fast-path so uninlining them is fine and even allows
      us to get rd of sk_filter_release_rcu()'s EXPORT_SYMBOL and a forward
      declaration.

      net: filter: keep original BPF program around · a3ea269b
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      In order to open up the possibility to internally transform a BPF program
      into an alternative and possibly non-trivial reversible representation, we
      need to keep the original BPF program around, so that it can be passed back
      to user space w/o the need of a complex decoder.
      
      The reason for that use case resides in commit a8fc9277 ("sk-filter:
      Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)"), that is, the ability
      to retrieve the currently attached BPF filter from a given socket used
      mainly by the checkpoint-restore project, for example.
      
      Therefore, we add two helpers sk_{store,release}_orig_filter for taking
      care of that. In the sk_unattached_filter_create() case, there's no such
      possibility/requirement to retrieve a loaded BPF program. Therefore, we
      can spare us the work in that case.
      
      This approach will simplify and slightly speed up both, sk_get_filter()
      and sock_diag_put_filterinfo() handlers as we won't need to successively
      decode filters anymore through sk_decode_filter(). As we still need
      sk_decode_filter() later on, we're keeping it around.

      net: filter: add jited flag to indicate jit compiled filters · f8bbbfc3
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch adds a jited flag into sk_filter struct in order to indicate
      whether a filter is currently jited or not. The size of sk_filter is
      not being expanded as the 32 bit 'len' member allows upper bits to be
      reused since a filter can currently only grow as large as BPF_MAXINSNS.
      
      Therefore, there's enough room also for other in future needed flags to
      reuse 'len' field if necessary. The jited flag also allows for having
      alternative interpreter functions running as currently, we can only
      detect jit compiled filters by testing fp->bpf_func to not equal the
      address of sk_run_filter().
