<id>fcc8487d477a3452a1d0ccbdd4c5e0e1e3cb8bed</id>
<content type='text'>
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):
asm-arc/kvm_para.h
asm-arc/ucontext.h
asm-blackfin/shmparam.h
asm-blackfin/ucontext.h

For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of
files listed by:

Pull networking updates from David Millar:
 "Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
  happened this development cycle:

   1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)

   2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
      lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
      (me).

   3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)

   4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
      Starovoitov)

   5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
      Westphal)

   6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)

   8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)

   9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)

  10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
      well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
      hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

  11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
      Aleksandrov)

  12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)

<title>Remove compat_sys_getdents64()</title>

<content type='text'>
Unlike normal compat syscall variants, it is needed only for
biarch architectures that have different alignement requirements for
u64 in 32bit and 64bit ABI *and* have __put_user() that won't handle
a store of 64bit value at 32bit-aligned address.  We used to have one
such (ia64), but its biarch support has been gone since 2010 (after
being broken in 2008, which went unnoticed since nobody had been using
it).

It had escaped removal at the same time only because back in 2004
a patch that switched several syscalls on amd64 from private wrappers to
generic compat ones had switched to use of compat_sys_getdents64(), which
hadn't needed (or used) a compat wrapper on amd64.

Let's bury it - it's at least 7 years overdue.

Introduce a new getsockopt operation to retrieve the socket cookie
for a specific socket based on the socket fd.  It returns a unique
non-decreasing cookie for each socket.

This socket option returns the NAPI ID associated with the queue on which
the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to
split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which
they are received.

If the NAPI ID actually represents a sender_cpu then the value is ignored
and 0 is returned.

Allows reading of SK_MEMINFO_VARS via socket option. This way an
application can get all meminfo related information in single socket
option call instead of multiple calls.

Adds helper function, sk_get_meminfo(), and uses that for both
getsockopt and sock_diag_put_meminfo().

The new syscall statx is implemented as generic code, so enable it
for architectures like openrisc which use the generic syscall table.

The new syscall statx is implemented as generic code, so enable it
for architectures like openrisc which use the generic syscall table.

Patch series "userfaultfd tmpfs/hugetlbfs/non-cooperative", v2

These userfaultfd features are finished and are ready for larger
exposure in -mm and upstream merging.

1) tmpfs non present userfault
2) hugetlbfs non present userfault
3) non cooperative userfault for fork/madvise/mremap

qemu development code is already exercising 2) and container postcopy
live migration needs 3).

1) is not currently used but there's a self test and we know some qemu
user for various reasons uses tmpfs as backing for KVM so it'll need it
too to use postcopy live migration with tmpfs memory.

All review feedback from the previous submit has been handled and the
fixes are included.  There's no outstanding issue AFIK.

Upstream code just did a s/fe/vmf/ conversion in the page faults and
this has been converted as well incrementally.

In addition to the previous submits, this also wakes up stuck userfaults
during UFFDIO_UNREGISTER.  The non cooperative testcase actually
reproduced this problem by getting stuck instead of quitting clean in
some rare case as it could call UFFDIO_UNREGISTER while some userfault
could be still in flight.  The other option would have been to keep
leaving it up to userland to serialize itself and to patch the testcase
instead but the wakeup during unregister I think is preferable.

David also asked the UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS and
UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_SHMEM feature flags to be added so QEMU can avoid
to probe if the hugetlbfs/shmem missing support is available by calling
UFFDIO_REGISTER.  QEMU already checks HUGETLBFS_MAGIC with fstatfs so if
UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS is also set, it knows UFFDIO_REGISTER
will succeed (or if it fails, it's for some other more concerning
reason).  There's no reason to worry about adding too many feature
flags.  There are 64 available and worst case we've to bump the API if
someday we're really going to run out of them.

The round-trip network latency of hugetlbfs userfaults during postcopy
live migration is still of the order of dozen milliseconds on 10GBit if
at 2MB hugepage granularity so it's working perfectly and it should
provide for higher bandwidth or lower CPU usage (which makes it
interesting to add an option in the future to support THP granularity
too for anonymous memory, UFFDIO_COPY would then have to create THP if
alignment/len allows for it).  1GB hugetlbfs granularity will require
big changes in hugetlbfs to work so it's deferred for later.

This patch (of 42):

This adds proper documentation (inline) to avoid the risk of further
misunderstandings about the semantics of _IOW/_IOR and it also reminds
whoever will bump the UFFDIO_API in the future, to change the two ioctl
to _IOW.

This was found while implementing strace support for those ioctl,
otherwise we could have never found it by just reviewing kernel code and
testing it.

_IOC_READ or _IOC_WRITE alters nothing but the ioctl number itself, so
it's only worth fixing if the UFFDIO_API is bumped someday.

<title>tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING</title>

<id>1c885808e45601b2b6f68b30ac1d999e10b6f606</id>

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation.  For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.

To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.
