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

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller

busy-polling. If the options is not set, it will use the default of 8.

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

<id>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>arch: move SA_* definitions to generic headers</title>

<content type='text'>
Most architectures with the exception of alpha, mips, parisc and
sparc use the same values for these flags. Move their definitions into
asm-generic/signal-defs.h and allow the architectures with non-standard
values to override them. Also, document the non-standard flag values
in order to make it easier to add new generic flags in the future.

A consequence of this change is that on powerpc and x86, the constants'
values aside from SA_RESETHAND change signedness from unsigned
to signed. This is not expected to impact realistic use of these
constants. In particular the typical use of the constants where they
are or'ed together and assigned to sa_flags (or another int variable)
would not be affected.

paravirt machine was introduced for Cavium's partial virtualization
technology, however, it's host side support and QEMU support never
landed in upstream.

As Cavium was acquired by Marvel and they have no intention to maintain
their MIPS product line, also paravirt is unlikely to be utilized by
community users, it's time to retire it if nobody steps in to maintain
it.

<title>KVM: MIPS: Add CPUCFG emulation for Loongson-3</title>

Loongson-3 overrides lwc2 instructions to implement CPUCFG and CSR
read/write functions. These instructions all cause guest exit so CSR
doesn't benifit KVM guest (and there are always legacy methods to
provide the same functions as CSR). So, we only emulate CPUCFG and let
it return a reduced feature list (which means the virtual CPU doesn't
have any other advanced features, including CSR) in KVM.

The point is to allow userspace to probe for CPUCFG without possibly
triggering invalid instructions. In addition to that, future Loongson
feature bits could all be stuffed into CPUCFG bit fields (or "leaves"
in x86-speak) if Loongson does not make mistakes, so ELF HWCAP bits are
conserved.

Userspace can determine native CPUCFG availability by checking the LCSRP
(Loongson CSR Present) bit in CPUCFG output after seeing CPUCFG bit in
HWCAP. Native CPUCFG always sets the LCSRP bit, as CPUCFG is part of the
Loongson CSR ASE, while the emulation intentionally leaves this bit
clear.

The other existing Loongson-specific HWCAP bits are, to my best
knowledge, unused, as

(1) they are fairly recent additions,
(2) Loongson never back-ported the patch into their kernel fork, and
(3) Loongson's existing installed base rarely upgrade, if ever;

However, they are still considered userspace ABI, hence unfortunately
unremovable. But hopefully at least we could stop adding new Loongson
HWCAP bits in the future.

Userspace cannot compile &lt;asm/sembuf.h&gt; due to some missing type
definitions.  For example, building it for x86 fails as follows:

    CC      usr/include/asm/sembuf.h.s
  In file included from &lt;command-line&gt;:32:0:
  usr/include/asm/sembuf.h:17:20: error: field `sem_perm' has incomplete type
    struct ipc64_perm sem_perm; /* permissions .. see ipc.h */
                      ^~~~~~~~

It is just a matter of missing include directive.

Include &lt;asm/ipcbuf.h&gt; to make it self-contained, and add it to
the compile-test coverage.
