      bpf, libbpf: use correct barriers in perf ring buffer walk · a64af0ef
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Given libbpf is a generic library and not restricted to x86-64 only,
      the compiler barrier in bpf_perf_event_read_simple() after fetching
      the head needs to be replaced with smp_rmb() at minimum. Also, writing
      out the tail we should use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.
      
      Now that we have the logic in place in ring_buffer_read_head() and
      ring_buffer_write_tail() helper also used by perf tool which would
      select the correct and best variant for a given architecture (e.g.
      x86-64 can avoid CPU barriers entirely), make use of these in order
      to fix bpf_perf_event_read_simple().

      tools, perf: add and use optimized ring_buffer_{read_head, write_tail} helpers · 09d62154
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Currently, on x86-64, perf uses LFENCE and MFENCE (rmb() and mb(),
      respectively) when processing events from the perf ring buffer which
      is unnecessarily expensive as we can do more lightweight in particular
      given this is critical fast-path in perf.
      
      According to Peter rmb()/mb() were added back then via a94d342b
      ("tools/perf: Add required memory barriers") at a time where kernel
      still supported chips that needed it, but nowadays support for these
      has been ditched completely, therefore we can fix them up as well.
      
      While for x86-64, replacing rmb() and mb() with smp_*() variants would
      result in just a compiler barrier for the former and LOCK + ADD for
      the latter (__sync_synchronize() uses slower MFENCE by the way), Peter
      suggested we can use smp_{load_acquire,store_release}() instead for
      architectures where its implementation doesn't resolve in slower smp_mb().
      Thus, e.g. in x86-64 we would be able to avoid CPU barrier entirely due
      to TSO. For architectures where the latter needs to use smp_mb() e.g.
      on arm, we stick to cheaper smp_rmb() variant for fetching the head.
      
      This work adds helpers ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail()
      for tools infrastructure that either switches to smp_load_acquire() for
      architectures where it is cheaper or uses READ_ONCE() + smp_rmb() barrier
      for those where it's not in order to fetch the data_head from the perf
      control page, and it uses smp_store_release() to write the data_tail.
      Latter is smp_mb() + WRITE_ONCE() combination or a cheaper variant if
      architecture allows for it. Those that rely on smp_rmb() and smp_mb() can
      further improve performance in a follow up step by implementing the two
      under tools/arch/*/include/asm/barrier.h such that they don't have to
      fallback to rmb() and mb() in tools/include/asm/barrier.h.
      
      Switch perf to use ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail()
      so it can make use of the optimizations. Later, we convert libbpf as
      well to use the same helpers.
      
      Side note [0]: the topic has been raised of whether one could simply use
      the C11 gcc builtins [1] for the smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()
      instead:
      
        __atomic_load_n(ptr, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE);
        __atomic_store_n(ptr, val, __ATOMIC_RELEASE);
      
      Kernel and (presumably) tooling shipped along with the kernel has a
      minimum requirement of being able to build with gcc-4.6 and the latter
      does not have C11 builtins. While generally the C11 memory models don't
      align with the kernel's, the C11 load-acquire and store-release alone
      /could/ suffice, however. Issue is that this is implementation dependent
      on how the load-acquire and store-release is done by the compiler and
      the mapping of supported compilers must align to be compatible with the
      kernel's implementation, and thus needs to be verified/tracked on a
      case by case basis whether they match (unless an architecture uses them
      also from kernel side). The implementations for smp_load_acquire() and
      smp_store_release() in this patch have been adapted from the kernel side
      ones to have a concrete and compatible mapping in place.

      bpf: add queue and stack maps · f1a2e44a
      Mauricio Vasquez B authored
      
      
      Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
      These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
      programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers.  Those operations
      are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
      syscalls in the following way:
      
      BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM            -> peek
      BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
      BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM            -> push
      
      Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
      hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.
      
      As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
      maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
      argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
      map.  Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
      be passed as an extra argument.
      
      Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
      of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
      other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
      and then analysing from userspace.

      net: Kernel side filtering for route dumps
      
      Implement kernel side filtering of route dumps by protocol (e.g., which
      routing daemon installed the route), route type (e.g., unicast), table
      id and nexthop device.
      
      iproute2 has been doing this filtering in userspace for years; pushing
      the filters to the kernel side reduces the amount of data the kernel
      sends and reduces wasted cycles on both sides processing unwanted data.
      These initial options provide a huge improvement for efficiently
      examining routes on large scale systems.
      
      v2
      - better handling of requests for a specific table. Rather than walking
        the hash of all tables, lookup the specific table and dump it
      - refactor mr_rtm_dumproute moving the loop over the table into a
        helper that can be invoked directly
      - add hook to return NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in DONE message to ensure
        it is returned even when the dump returns nothing

      Update parsing of route dump request to enable kernel side filtering.
      Allow filtering results by protocol (e.g., which routing daemon installed
      the route), route type (e.g., unicast), table id and nexthop device. These
      amount to the low hanging fruit, yet a huge improvement, for dumping
      routes.
      
      ip_valid_fib_dump_req is called with RTNL held, so __dev_get_by_index can
      be used to look up the device index without taking a reference. From
      there filter->dev is only used during dump loops with the lock still held.
      
      Set NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in the answer_flags so the user knows the results
      have been filtered should no entries be returned.

      Implement kernel side filtering of routes by table id, egress device index,
      protocol and route type. If the table id is given in the filter, lookup the
      table and call fib_table_dump directly for it.

      net: Add struct for fib dump filter · 4724676d
      David Ahern authored
      
      
      Add struct fib_dump_filter for options on limiting which routes are
      returned in a dump request. The current list is table id, protocol,
      route type, rtm_flags and nexthop device index. struct net is needed
      to lookup the net_device from the index.
      
      Declare the filter for each route dump handler and plumb the new
      arguments from dump handlers to ip_valid_fib_dump_req.

      netlink: Add answer_flags to netlink_callback · 22e6c58b
      David Ahern authored
      
      
      With dump filtering we need a way to ensure the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED
      flag is set on a message back to the user if the data returned is
      influenced by some input attributes. Normally this can be done as
      messages are added to the skb, but if the filter results in no data
      being returned, the user could be confused as to why.
      
      This patch adds answer_flags to the netlink_callback allowing dump
      handlers to set the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED at a minimum in the
      NLMSG_DONE message ensuring the flag gets back to the user.
      
      The netlink_callback space is initialized to 0 via a memset in
      __netlink_dump_start, so init of the new answer_flags is covered.

      ====================
      pull-request: bpf-next 2018-10-16
      
      The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
      
      The main changes are:
      
      1) Convert BPF sockmap and kTLS to both use a new sk_msg API and enable
         sk_msg BPF integration for the latter, from Daniel and John.
      
      2) Enable BPF syscall side to indicate for maps that they do not support
         a map lookup operation as opposed to just missing key, from Prashant.
      
      3) Add bpftool map create command which after map creation pins the
         map into bpf fs for further processing, from Jakub.
      
      4) Add bpftool support for attaching programs to maps allowing sock_map
         and sock_hash to be used from bpftool, from John.
      
      5) Improve syscall BPF map update/delete path for map-in-map types to
         wait a RCU grace period for pending references to complete, from Daniel.
      
      6) Couple of follow-up fixes for the BPF socket lookup to get it
         enabled also when IPv6 is compiled as a module, from Joe.
      
      7) Fix a generic-XDP bug to handle the case when the Ethernet header
         was mangled and thus update skb's protocol and data, from Jesper.
      
      8) Add a missing BTF header length check between header copies from
         user space, from Wenwen.
      
      9) Minor fixups in libbpf to use __u32 instead u32 types and include
         proper perf_event.h uapi header instead of perf internal one, from Yonghong.
      
      10) Allow to pass user-defined flags through EXTRA_CFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS
          to bpftool's build, from Jiri.
      
      11) BPF kselftest tweaks to add LWTUNNEL to config fragment and to install
          with_addr.sh script from flow dissector selftest, from Anders.

      hv_netvsc: fix vf serial matching with pci slot info · 00547955
      Haiyang Zhang authored
      The VF device's serial number is saved as a string in PCI slot's
      kobj name, not the slot->number. This patch corrects the netvsc
      driver, so the VF device can be successfully paired with synthetic
      NIC.

      ====================
      tcp: second round for EDT conversion
      
      First round of EDT patches left TCP stack in a non optimal state.
      
      - High speed flows suffered from loss of performance, addressed
        by the first patch of this series.
      
      - Second patch brings pacing to the current state of networking,
        since we now reach ~100 Gbit on a single TCP flow.
      
      - Third patch implements a mitigation for scheduling delays,
        like the one we did in sch_fq in the past.
      
      - Fourth patch removes one special case in sch_fq for ACK packets.
      
      - Fifth patch removes a serious perfomance cost for TCP internal
        pacing. We should setup the high resolution timer only if
        really needed.
      
      - Sixth patch fixes a typo in BBR.
      
      - Last patch is one minor change in cdg congestion control.
      
      Neal Cardwell also has a patch series fixing BBR after
      EDT adoption.
