Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for everyone and we can proceed. Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects, which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be necessary anymore.

gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-13 too

2023-04-23T16:56:20Z

We started disabling '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-12 originally on s390, because it resulted in some warnings that weren't realistically fixable (commit 8b202ee21839: "s390: disable -Warray-bounds"). That s390-specific issue was then found to be less common elsewhere, but generic (see f0be87c42cbd: "gcc-12: disable '-Warray-bounds' universally for now"), and then later expanded the version check was expanded to gcc-11 (5a41237ad1d4: "gcc: disable -Warray-bounds for gcc-11 too"). And it turns out that I was much too optimistic in thinking that it's all going to go away, and here we are with gcc-13 showing all the same issues. So instead of expanding this one version at a time, let's just disable it for gcc-11+, and put an end limit to it only when we actually find a solution. Yes, I'm sure some of this is because the kernel just does odd things (like our "container_of()" use, but also knowingly playing games with things like linker tables and array layouts). And yes, some of the warnings are likely signs of real bugs, but when there are hundreds of false positives, that doesn't really help. Oh well. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2

2023-03-06T06:46:23Z

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e35 ("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd6b ("SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter to be used to switch back to the old format if needed. Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed, and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are used instead of symlinks like normal. Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the config entries from the kernel.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.
