Pull siginfo si_trapno updates from Eric Biederman:
 "The full set of si_trapno changes was not appropriate as a fix for the
  newly added SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF, and so I postponed the rest of the
  related cleanups.

  This is the rest of the cleanups for si_trapno that reduces it from
  being a really weird arch special case that is expect to be always
  present (but isn't) on the architectures that support it to being yet
  another field in the _sigfault union of struct siginfo.

  The changes have been reviewed and marinated in linux-next. With the
  removal of this awkward special case new code (like SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF)
  that works across architectures should be easier to write and
  maintain"

* 'siginfo-si_trapno-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  signal: Rename SIL_PERF_EVENT SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT for consistency
  signal: Verify the alignment and size of siginfo_t
  signal: Remove the generic __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO support
  signal/alpha: si_trapno is only used with SIGFPE and SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK
  signal/sparc: si_trapno is only used with SIGILL ILL_ILLTRP
  arm64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
  arm: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets

SOCK_SNDBUF_LOCK and SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK flags disable automatic socket
buffers adjustment done by kernel (see tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() and
tcp_sndbuf_expand()). If we've just created a new socket this adjustment
is enabled on it, but if one changes the socket buffer size by
setsockopt(SO_{SND,RCV}BUF*) it becomes disabled.

CRIU needs to call setsockopt(SO_{SND,RCV}BUF*) on each socket on
restore as it first needs to increase buffer sizes for packet queues
restore and second it needs to restore back original buffer sizes. So
after CRIU restore all sockets become non-auto-adjustable, which can
decrease network performance of restored applications significantly.

CRIU need to be able to restore sockets with enabled/disabled adjustment
to the same state it was before dump, so let's add special setsockopt
for it.

Let's also export SOCK_SNDBUF_LOCK and SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK flags to uAPI so
that using these interface one can reenable automatic socket buffer
adjustment on their sockets.

While reviewing the signal handlers on sparc it became clear that
si_trapno is only set to a non-zero value when sending SIGILL with
si_code ILL_ILLTRP.

Add force_sig_fault_trapno and send SIGILL ILL_ILLTRP with it.

Remove the define of __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO and remove the always zero
si_trapno parameter from send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault.

<title>net: retrieve netns cookie via getsocketopt</title>

<id>e8b9eab99232c4e62ada9d7976c80fd5e8118289</id>
<content type='text'>
It's getting more common to run nested container environments for
testing cloud software. One of such examples is Kind [1] which runs a
Kubernetes cluster in Docker containers on a single host. Each container
acts as a Kubernetes node, and thus can run any Pod (aka container)
inside the former. This approach simplifies testing a lot, as it
eliminates complicated VM setups.

Unfortunately, such a setup breaks some functionality when cgroupv2 BPF
programs are used for load-balancing. The load-balancer BPF program
needs to detect whether a request originates from the host netns or a
container netns in order to allow some access, e.g. to a service via a
loopback IP address. Typically, the programs detect this by comparing
netns cookies with the one of the init ns via a call to
bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL). However, in nested environments the latter
cannot be used given the Kubernetes node's netns is outside the init ns.
To fix this, we need to pass the Kubernetes node netns cookie to the
program in a different way: by extending getsockopt() with a
SO_NETNS_COOKIE option, the orchestrator which runs in the Kubernetes
node netns can retrieve the cookie and pass it to the program instead.

Thus, this is following up on Eric's commit 3d368ab87cf6 ("net:
initialize net-&gt;net_cookie at netns setup") to allow retrieval via
SO_NETNS_COOKIE.  This is also in line in how we retrieve socket cookie
via SO_COOKIE.

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>

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.

As discussed in the strace issue tracker, it appears that the sparc32
sysvipc support has been broken for the past 11 years. It was however
working in compat mode, which is how it must have escaped most of the
regular testing.

The problem is that a cleanup patch inadvertently changed the uid/gid
fields in struct ipc64_perm from 32-bit types to 16-bit types in uapi
headers.

Both glibc and uclibc-ng still use the original types, so they should
work fine with compat mode, but not natively.  Change the definitions
to use __kernel_uid32_t and __kernel_gid32_t again.
