Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

     of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
     allows shared IRQs

   - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters

   - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"

SYS_USER_DISPATCH will be triggered when a syscall is sent to userspace
by the Syscall User Dispatch mechanism.  This adjusts eventual
BUILD_BUG_ON around the tree.

<title>net: Introduce preferred busy-polling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7fd3253a7de6a317a0683f83739479fb880bffc8</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket
option or system-wide using the /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is
an opportunistic. That means that if the NAPI context is not
scheduled, it will poll it. If, after busy-polling, the budget is
exceeded the busy-polling logic will schedule the NAPI onto the
regular softirq handling.

One implication of the behavior above is that a busy/heavy loaded NAPI
context will never enter/allow for busy-polling. Some applications
prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling.

This series adds a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, that works
in concert with the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout
knobs. The napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs were
introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral
feature"), and allows for a user to defer interrupts to be enabled and
instead schedule the NAPI context from a watchdog timer. When a user
enables the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, again with the other knobs enabled,
and the NAPI context is being processed by a softirq, the softirq NAPI
processing will exit early to allow the busy-polling to be performed.

If the application stops performing busy-polling via a system call,
the watchdog timer defined by gro_flush_timeout will timeout, and
regular softirq handling will resume.

In summary; Heavy traffic applications that prefer busy-polling over
softirq processing should use this option.

Example usage:

  $ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/napi_defer_hard_irqs
  $ echo 200000 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/gro_flush_timeout

Note that the timeout should be larger than the userspace processing
window, otherwise the watchdog will timeout and fall back to regular
softirq processing.

Enable the SO_BUSY_POLL/SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL options on your socket.

<title>signal: define the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS bit in sa_flags</title>

<content type='text'>
Architectures that support address tagging, such as arm64, may want to
expose fault address tag bits to the signal handler to help diagnose
memory errors. However, these bits have not been previously set,
and their presence may confuse unaware user applications. Therefore,
introduce a SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag bit in sa_flags that a signal
handler may use to explicitly request that the bits are set.

The generic signal handler APIs expect to receive tagged addresses.
Architectures may specify how to untag addresses in the case where
SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS is clear by defining the arch_untagged_si_addr
function.

<content type='text'>
Define a sa_flags bit, SA_UNSUPPORTED, which will never be supported
in the uapi. The purpose of this flag bit is to allow userspace to
distinguish an old kernel that does not clear unknown sa_flags bits
from a kernel that supports every flag bit.

In other words, if userspace does something like:

  act.sa_flags |= SA_UNSUPPORTED;
  sigaction(SIGSEGV, &amp;act, 0);
  sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0, &amp;oldact);

and finds that SA_UNSUPPORTED remains set in oldact.sa_flags, it means
that the kernel cannot be trusted to have cleared unknown flag bits
from sa_flags, so no assumptions about flag bit support can be made.

Instead of documenting the arch-specific flag values in a comment at
the top where they may be easily overlooked, document them in comments
inline with the definitions in numerical order so that it is clear
why specific values must be chosen for new generic flags and to reduce
the likelihood of conflicts between generic and arch-specific flags.
