Hannes Frederic Sowa b1190570b4 ipv6: split inet6_hash_frag for netfilter and initialize secrets with net_get_random_once
Defer the fragmentation hash secret initialization for IPv6 like the
previous patch did for IPv4.

Because the netfilter logic reuses the hash secret we have to split it
first. Thus introduce a new nf_hash_frag function which takes care to
seed the hash secret.

Christoph Paasch 35b87f6c13 net: Dereference pointer-value of sk_prot->memory_pressure
2e685cad57 (tcp_memcontrol: Kill struct tcp_memcontrol) falsly modified
the access to memory_pressure of sk->sk_prot->memory_pressure. The patch
did modify the memory_pressure-field of struct cg_proto, but not the one
of struct proto.

So, the access to sk_prot->memory_pressure should not be changed.

10) VLAN and CAN layer mis-size netlink attributes, from Marc
    Kleine-Budde.

11) Fix permission checks in sysctls to use current_euid() instead of
    current_uid().  From Eric W Biederman.

12) IPSEC policies can go away while a timer is still pending for them,
    add appropriate ref-counting to fix, from Steffen Klassert.

13) Fix mis-programming of FDR and RMCR registers on R8A7740 sh_eth
    chips, from Nguyen Hong Ky and Simon Horman.

14) MLX4 forgets to DMA unmap pages on RX, fix from Amir Vadai.

15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama
    Ghorbel.

16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to
    "quantum".  From Eric Dumazet.

17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise
    FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly.  Also from
    Eric Dumazet.

18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland.

19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq
    context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it.  From
    Eric Dumazet.

20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem
    packet scheduler.  From Stephen Hemminger.

26) Integer underflow and dual-assignment in YAM hamradio driver, from
    Dan Carpenter.

27) If we are going to mangle a packet in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() we must
    unclone it.  This fixes various hard to track down crashes in
    drivers where the SKBs ->gso_segs was changing right from underneath
    the driver during TX queueing.  From Eric Dumazet.

28) Fix the handling of VLAN IDs, and in particular the special IDs 0
    and 4095, in the bridging layer.  From Toshiaki Makita.

33) Virtual Function fixes in bnx2x driver from Yuval Mintz and Ariel
    Elior.

34) When we removed the explicit neighbour pointer from ipv6 routes a
    slight regression was introduced for users such as IPVS, xt_TEE, and
    raw sockets.  We mix up the users requested destination address with
    the routes assigned nexthop/gateway.  From Julian Anastasov and
    Simon Horman.

35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up
    doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting
    neighbour discovery messages.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

36) davinci_emac driver doesn't handle IFF_ALLMULTI correctly, from
    Mariusz Ceier.

Julian Anastasov 96dc809514 ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present
In v3.9 6fd6ce2056 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in
ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2()
such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used
instead of an assigned neighbor.

As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed
routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and
RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing
compared to the destination address.

Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC
route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway
in rt6_nexthop().

Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if
present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is
not wrongly diverted to the destination address.

Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the
problematic commit.

Thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa for his review and help in testing.

Hannes Frederic Sowa 222e83d2e0 tcp: switch tcp_fastopen key generation to net_get_random_once
Changed key initialization of tcp_fastopen cookies to net_get_random_once.

If the user sets a custom key net_get_random_once must be called at
least once to ensure we don't overwrite the user provided key when the
first cookie is generated later on.

Hannes Frederic Sowa 1bbdceef1e inet: convert inet_ehash_secret and ipv6_hash_secret to net_get_random_once
Initialize the ehash and ipv6_hash_secrets with net_get_random_once.

Each compilation unit gets its own secret now:
  ipv4/inet_hashtables.o
  ipv4/udp.o
  ipv6/inet6_hashtables.o
  ipv6/udp.o
  rds/connection.o

The functions still get inlined into the hashing functions. In the fast
path we have at most two (needed in ipv6) if (unlikely(...)).

Hannes Frederic Sowa a48e42920f net: introduce new macro net_get_random_once
net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization
of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the
initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise
it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy
extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true
if the key got initialized.

The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so
it needs some further explanation why this actually works:

=== In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have ===
no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with
STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of
the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is
initialized like this:

___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) }

The check

                if (!static_key_true(&___done_key))                     \

expands into (pseudo code)

                if (!likely(___done_key > 0))

, so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the
helper function.

=== If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends ===
on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in
jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden
and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called
before that!

At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of
net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we
need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs):

      71:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
      76:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)

Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to
call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above.

arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and
actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction
stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we
initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site
will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks
like this:

                if (!static_key_true(&___done_key))                     \
                        ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf,             \

expands to

                if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key))                     \
                        ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf,             \

So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called
on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path.
static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized
with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the
branch is replaced with a nop again.

=== Misc: ===
The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't
have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean
(___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before
the increment happend.

Hannes Frederic Sowa c4b2c0c5f6 static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called
Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.

Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit

The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.

Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.

All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.

The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.

Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

Pavel Roskin reported that DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR was overwritting
the 4 bytes beyond the end of its structure with a 32-bit userspace
running on a 64-bit kernel. This is due to the padding gcc inserts as
the drm_mode_get_connector struct includes a u64 and its size is not a
natural multiple of u64s.

64-bit kernel:

sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=80, alignof=8
sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4

32-bit userspace:

sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=76, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4

Fortuituously we can insert explicit padding to the tail of our
structures without breaking ABI.

that netback can handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets. It creates SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs
if the frontend passes an extra segment with the new type
XEN_NETIF_GSO_TYPE_TCPV6 added to netif.h.

====================
netfilter updates: nf_tables pull request

The following patchset contains the current original nf_tables tree
condensed in 17 patches. I have organized them by chronogical order
since the original nf_tables code was released in 2009 and by
dependencies between the different patches.

The patches are:

1) Adapt all existing hooks in the tree to pass hook ops to the
   hook callback function, required by nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy.

2) Move alloc_null_binding to nf_nat_core, as it is now also needed by
   nf_tables and ip_tables, original patch from Patrick McHardy but
   required major changes to adapt it to the current tree that I made.

3) Add nf_tables core, including the netlink API, the packet filtering
   engine, expressions and built-in tables, from Patrick McHardy. This
   patch includes accumulated fixes since 2009 and minor enhancements.
   The patch description contains a list of references to the original
   patches for the record. For those that are not familiar to the
   original work, see [1], [2] and [3].

4) Add netlink set API, this replaces the original set infrastructure
   to introduce a netlink API to add/delete sets and to add/delete
   set elements. This includes two set types: the hash and the rb-tree
   sets (used for interval based matching). The main difference with
   ipset is that this infrastructure is data type agnostic. Patch from
   Patrick McHardy.

5) Allow expression operation overload, this API change allows us to
   provide define expression subtypes depending on the configuration
   that is received from user-space via Netlink. It is used by follow
   up patches to provide optimized versions of the payload and cmp
   expressions and the x_tables compatibility layer, from Patrick
   McHardy.

6) Add optimized data comparison operation, it requires the previous
   patch, from Patrick McHardy.

7) Add optimized payload implementation, it requires patch 5, from
   Patrick McHardy.

8) Convert built-in tables to chain types. Each chain type have special
   semantics (filter, route and nat) that are used by userspace to
   configure the chain behaviour. The main chain regarding iptables
   is that tables become containers of chain, with no specific semantics.
   However, you may still configure your tables and chains to retain
   iptables like semantics, patch from me.

9) Add compatibility layer for x_tables. This patch adds support to
   use all existing x_tables extensions from nf_tables, this is used
   to provide a userspace utility that accepts iptables syntax but
   used internally the nf_tables kernel core. This patch includes
   missing features in the nf_tables core such as the per-chain
   stats, default chain policy and number of chain references, which
   are required by the iptables compatibility userspace tool. Patch
   from me.

10) Fix transport protocol matching, this fix is a side effect of the
    x_tables compatibility layer, which now provides a pointer to the
    transport header, from me.

11) Add support for dormant tables, this feature allows you to disable
    all chains and rules that are contained in one table, from me.

12) Add IPv6 NAT support. At the time nf_tables was made, there was no
    NAT IPv6 support yet, from Tomasz Bursztyka.

13) Complete net namespace support. This patch register the protocol
    family per net namespace, so tables (thus, other objects contained
    in tables such as sets, chains and rules) are only visible from the
    corresponding net namespace, from me.

14) Add the insert operation to the nf_tables netlink API, this requires
    adding a new position attribute that allow us to locate where in the
    ruleset a rule needs to be inserted, from Eric Leblond.

15) Add rule batching support, including atomic rule-set updates by
    using rule-set generations. This patch includes a change to nfnetlink
    to include two new control messages to indicate the beginning and
    the end of a batch. The end message is interpreted as the commit
    message, if it's missing, then the rule-set updates contained in the
    batch are aborted, from me.

16) Add trace support to the nf_tables packet filtering core, from me.

17) Add ARP filtering support, original patch from Patrick McHardy, but
    adapted to fit into the chain type infrastructure. This was recovered
    to be used by nft userspace tool and our compatibility arptables
    userspace tool.

There is still work to do to fully replace x_tables [4] [5] but that can
be done incrementally by extending our netlink API. Moreover, looking at
netfilter-devel and the amount of contributions to nf_tables we've been
getting, I think it would be good to have it mainstream to avoid accumulating
large patchsets skip continuous rebases.

I tried to provide a reasonable patchset, we have more than 100 accumulated
patches in the original nf_tables tree, so I collapsed many of the small
fixes to the main patch we had since 2009 and provide a small batch for
review to netdev, while trying to retain part of the history.

For those who didn't give a try to nf_tables yet, there's a quick howto
available from Eric Leblond that describes how to get things working [6].

Comments/reviews welcome.

Thanks!
