introduce new setsockopt() command:

setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &amp;prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd))

where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
and attr-&gt;prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER

setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.

The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets.

User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge()
which decrements refcnt of eBPF program

<title>net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPU</title>

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.

Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.

Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.

We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.

After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :

 int cpu;
 socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);

 getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &amp;cpu, &amp;len);

And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fixes and features for 3.18.

  Apart from the usual cleanups, here is the summary of new features:

   - s390 moves closer towards host large page support

   - PowerPC has improved support for debugging (both inside the guest
     and via gdbstub) and support for e6500 processors

   - ARM/ARM64 support read-only memory (which is necessary to put
     firmware in emulated NOR flash)

   - x86 has the usual emulator fixes and nested virtualization
     improvements (including improved Windows support on Intel and
     Jailhouse hypervisor support on AMD), adaptive PLE which helps
     overcommitting of huge guests.  Also included are some patches that
     make KVM more friendly to memory hot-unplug, and fixes for rare
     caching bugs.

  Two patches have trivial mm/ parts that were acked by Rik and Andrew.

  Note: I will soon switch to a subkey for signing purposes"

This patch wires up three new syscalls for powerpc. The three
new syscalls are seccomp, getrandom and memfd_create.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interface</title>

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface.  This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits.  The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.

We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries.  Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit.  Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

We now support SPRG9 for guest, so also add a one reg interface for same
Note: Changes are in bookehv code only as we do not have SPRG9 on booke-pr.
