2018-05-14samples: bpf: rename libbpf.h to bpf_insn.hJakub Kicinski
The libbpf.h file in samples is clashing with libbpf's header. Since it only includes a subset of filter.h instruction helpers rename it to bpf_insn.h. Drop the unnecessary include of bpf/bpf.h.

2018-05-14samples: bpf: include bpf/bpf.h instead of local libbpf.hJakub Kicinski
There are two files in the tree called libbpf.h which is becoming problematic. Most samples don't actually need the local libbpf.h they simply include it to get to bpf/bpf.h.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner says: ==================== sctp: refactor sctp_outq_flush Currently sctp_outq_flush does many different things and arguably unrelated, such as doing transport selection and outq dequeueing. This patchset refactors it into smaller and more dedicated functions. The end behavior should be the same. The next patchset will rework the function parameters.

2018-05-14sctp: rework switch cases in sctp_outq_flush_dataMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
Remove an inner one, which tended to be error prone due to the cascading and it can be replaced by a simple if (). Rework the outer one so that the actual flush code is not inside it. Now we first validate if we can or cannot send data, return if not, and then the flush code.

2018-05-14sctp: move transport flush code out of sctp_outq_flushMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
To the new sctp_outq_flush_transports. Comment on Nagle is outdated and removed. Nagle is performed earlier, while checking if the chunk fits the packet: if the outq length is not enough to fill the packet, it returns SCTP_XMIT_DELAY. So by when it gets to sctp_outq_flush_transports, it has to go through all enlisted transports. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-05-14sctp: move outq data rtx code out of sctp_outq_flushMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
This patch renames current sctp_outq_flush_rtx to __sctp_outq_flush_rtx and create a new sctp_outq_flush_rtx, with the code that was on sctp_outq_flush. Again, the idea is to have functions with small and defined objectives. Yes, there is an open-coded path selection in the now sctp_outq_flush_rtx. That is kept as is for now because it may be very different when we implement retransmission path selection algorithms for CMT-SCTP.

2018-05-14sctp: move the flush of ctrl chunks into its own functionMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
Named sctp_outq_flush_ctrl and, with that, keep the contexts contained. One small fix embedded is the reset of one_packet at every iteration. This allows bundling of some control chunks in case they were preceeded by another control chunk that cannot be bundled. Other than this, it has the same behavior. Changes since v2: - Fixed panic reported by kbuild test robot if building with only up to this patch applied, due to bad parameter to sctp_outq_select_transport and by not initializing packet after calling sctp_outq_flush_ctrl.

We had two spots doing such complex operation and they were very close to each other, a bit more tailored to here or there.

2018-05-14bpf, arm64: optimize 32/64 immediate emissionDaniel Borkmann
Improve the JIT to emit 64 and 32 bit immediates, the current algorithm is not optimal and we often emit more instructions than actually needed. arm64 has movz, movn, movk variants but for the current 64 bit immediates we only use movz with a series of movk when needed. For example loading ffffffffffffabab emits the following 4 instructions in the JIT today: * movz: abab, shift: 0, result: 000000000000abab * movk: ffff, shift: 16, result: 00000000ffffabab * movk: ffff, shift: 32, result: 0000ffffffffabab * movk: ffff, shift: 48, result: ffffffffffffabab Whereas after the patch the same load only needs a single instruction: * movn: 5454, shift: 0, result: ffffffffffffabab Another example where two extra instructions can be saved: * movz: abab, shift: 0, result: 000000000000abab * movk: 1f2f, shift: 16, result: 000000001f2fabab * movk: ffff, shift: 32, result: 0000ffff1f2fabab * movk: ffff, shift: 48, result: ffffffff1f2fabab After the patch: * movn: e0d0, shift: 16, result: ffffffff1f2fffff * movk: abab, shift: 0, result: ffffffff1f2fabab Another example with movz, before: * movz: 0000, shift: 0, result: 0000000000000000 * movk: fea0, shift: 32, result: 0000fea000000000 After: * movz: fea0, shift: 32, result: 0000fea000000000 Moreover, reuse emit_a64_mov_i() for 32 bit immediates that are loaded via emit_a64_mov_i64() which is a similar optimization as done in 6fe8b9c1f41d ("bpf, x64: save several bytes by using mov over movabsq when possible"). On arm64, the latter allows to use a single instruction with movn due to zero extension where otherwise two would be needed. And last but not least add a missing optimization in emit_a64_mov_i() where movn is used but the subsequent movk not needed. With some of the Cilium programs in use, this shrinks the needed instructions by about three percent. Tested on Cavium ThunderX CN8890.

Currently, we cannot parse build_id in nmi context because of up_read(&current->mm->mmap_sem), this makes stackmap with build_id less useful. This patch enables parsing build_id in nmi by putting the up_read() call in irq_work. To avoid memory allocation in nmi context, we use per cpu variable for the irq_work. As a result, only one irq_work per cpu is allowed. If the irq_work is in-use, we fallback to only report ips.

2018-05-14sched: cls: enable verbose loggingMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
Currently, when the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the hardware, extack is not passed along and offloading failures don't get logged. The idea was that hardware failures are okay because the rule will get executed in software then and this way it doesn't confuse unware users. But this is not helpful in case one needs to understand why a certain rule failed to get offloaded. Considering it may have been a temporary failure, like resources exceeded or so, reproducing it later and knowing that it is triggering the same reason may be challenging. The ultimate goal is to improve Open vSwitch debuggability when using flower offloading. This patch adds a new flag to enable verbose logging. With the flag set, extack will be passed to the driver, which will be able to log the error. As the operation itself probably won't fail (not because of this, at least), current iproute will already log it as a Warning. The flag is generic, so it can be reused later. No need to restrict it just for HW offloading. The command line will follow the syntax that tc-ebpf already uses, tc ... [ verbose ] ... , and extend its meaning. For example: # ./tc qdisc add dev p7p1 ingress # ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ flower verbose \ src_mac ed:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \ src_ip 56.0.0.0 dst_ip 55.0.0.0 action drop Warning: TC offload is disabled on net device. # echo $? 0 # ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ flower \ src_mac ff:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \ src_ip 56.0.0.0 dst_ip 55.0.0.0 action drop # echo $? 0 Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
