<content type='text'>
Minimally rewrite the XArray unit tests to use kunit.  This integrates
nicely with existing kunit tools which produce nicer human-readable output
compared to the existing machinery.

Running the xarray tests before this change requires an obscure
invocation

```
tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm64 --make_options LLVM=1 \
  --kconfig_add CONFIG_TEST_XARRAY=y --raw_output=all nothing
```

which on failure produces

```
BUG at check_reserve:513
...
XArray: 6782340 of 6782364 tests passed
```

and exits 0.

Running the xarray tests after this change requires a simpler invocation

```
tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm64 --make_options LLVM=1 \
  xarray
```

which on failure produces (colors omitted)

```
[09:50:53] ====================== check_reserve  ======================
[09:50:53] [FAILED] param-0

[09:50:53] ===================== [FAILED] xarray ======================
```

and exits 1.

Use of richer kunit assertions is intentionally omitted to reduce the
scope of the change.

<id>urn:sha1:e47d9b1a76ed78d0d50491f6a7d8ef59e379f45c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a KUnit test suite for the crc16, crc_t10dif, crc32_le, crc32_be,
crc32c, and crc64_be library functions.  It avoids code duplication by
sharing most logic among all CRC variants.  The test suite includes:

- Differential fuzz test of each CRC function against a simple
  bit-at-a-time reference implementation.
- Test for CRC combination, when implemented by a CRC variant.
- Optional benchmark of each CRC function with various data lengths.

This is intended as a replacement for crc32test and crc16_kunit, as well
as a new test for CRC variants which didn't previously have a test.

<title>lib/crc32: make crc32c() go directly to lib</title>

<id>urn:sha1:38a9a5121c3bcf2ed857430a92e493568b247c35</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the lower level __crc32c_le() library function is optimized for
each architecture, make crc32c() just call that instead of taking an
inefficient and error-prone detour through the shash API.

Note: a future cleanup should make crc32c_le() be the actual library
function instead of __crc32c_le().  That will require updating callers
of __crc32c_le() to use crc32c_le() instead, and updating callers of
crc32c_le() that expect a 'const void *' arg to expect 'const u8 *'
instead.  Similarly, a future cleanup should remove LIBCRC32C by making
everyone who is selecting it just select CRC32 directly instead.

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:

 - The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
   going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
   dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
   modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
   starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!

 - Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
   enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
   series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
   would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

 - Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
   closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
   lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
   Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.

 - Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
   find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.

 - We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
   which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

     https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-modules/list/
     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/README.md

     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/linux-modules-kdevops-ci.md

   If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
   simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
   tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
   used and leveraged automatically by the CI.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
     introspection.
