This patch hard-codes CRYPTO_MAX_NAME in the user-space API to
64, which is the current value of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME. This patch
also replaces all remaining occurences of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME
in the user-space API with CRYPTO_MAX_NAME.
This way the user-space API will not be modified when we raise
the value of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.
Furthermore, the code has been updated to handle names longer than
the user-space API. They will be truncated.

We have 2 modes for dealing with interrupts in the ARM world. We can
either handle them all using hardware acceleration through the vgic or
we can emulate a gic in user space and only drive CPU IRQ pins from
there.
Unfortunately, when driving IRQs from user space, we never tell user
space about events from devices emulated inside the kernel, which may
result in interrupt line state changes, so we lose out on for example
timer and PMU events if we run with user space gic emulation.
Define an ABI to publish such device output levels to userspace.

When netdev events happen, a rtnetlink_event() handler will send
messages for every event in it's white list. These messages contain
current information about a particular device, but they do not include
the iformation about which event just happened. The consumer of
the message has to try to infer this information. In some cases
(ex: NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS), that is not possible.
This patch adds a new extension to RTM_NEWLINK message called IFLA_EVENT
that would have an encoding of the which event triggered this
message. This would allow the the message consumer to easily determine
if it is interested in a particular event or not.

sock_diag is a new interface which is used instead of proc files, so it

SP800-56A defines the use of DH with key derivation function based on a
counter. The input to the KDF is defined as (DH shared secret || other
information). The value for the "other information" is to be provided by
the caller.
The KDF is implemented using the hash support from the kernel crypto API.
The implementation uses the symmetric hash support as the input to the
hash operation is usually very small. The caller is allowed to specify
the hash name that he wants to use to derive the key material allowing
the use of all supported hashes provided with the kernel crypto API.
As the KDF implements the proper truncation of the DH shared secret to
the requested size, this patch fills the caller buffer up to its size.
The patch is tested with a new test added to the keyutils user space
code which uses a CAVS test vector testing the compliance with
SP800-56A.

Keyrings recently gained restrict_link capabilities that allow
individual keys to be validated prior to linking. This functionality
was only available using internal kernel APIs.
With the KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING command existing keyrings can be
configured to check the content of keys before they are linked, and
then allow or disallow linkage of that key to the keyring.
To restrict a keyring, call:
keyctl(KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING, key_serial_t keyring, const char *type,
const char *restriction)
where 'type' is the name of a registered key type and 'restriction' is a
string describing how key linkage is to be restricted. The restriction
option syntax is specific to each key type.

development and testing of networking bpf programs is quite cumbersome.
Despite availability of user space bpf interpreters the kernel is
the ultimate authority and execution environment.
Current test frameworks for TC include creation of netns, veth,
qdiscs and use of various packet generators just to test functionality
of a bpf program. XDP testing is even more complicated, since
qemu needs to be started with gro/gso disabled and precise queue
configuration, transferring of xdp program from host into guest,
attaching to virtio/eth0 and generating traffic from the host
while capturing the results from the guest.
Moreover analyzing performance bottlenecks in XDP program is
impossible in virtio environment, since cost of running the program
is tiny comparing to the overhead of virtio packet processing,
so performance testing can only be done on physical nic
with another server generating traffic.
Furthermore ongoing changes to user space control plane of production
applications cannot be run on the test servers leaving bpf programs
stubbed out for testing.
Last but not least, the upstream llvm changes are validated by the bpf
backend testsuite which has no ability to test the code generated.
To improve this situation introduce BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command
to test and performance benchmark bpf programs.

The pipeline debug is used to export the pipeline abstractions for the
main objects - tables, headers and entries. The only support for set is
for changing the counter parameter on specific table.
The basic structures:
Header - can represent a real protocol header information or internal
metadata. Generic protocol headers like IPv4 can be shared
between drivers. Each driver can add local headers.
Field - part of a header. Can represent protocol field or specific ASIC
metadata field. Hardware special metadata fields can be mapped
to different resources, for example switch ASIC ports can have
internal number which from the systems point of view is mapped
to netdeivce ifindex.
Match - represent specific match rule. Can describe match on specific
field or header. The header index should be specified as well
in order to support several header instances of the same type
(tunneling).
Action - represents specific action rule. Actions can describe operations
on specific field values for example like set, increment, etc.
And header operation like add and delete.
Value - represents value which can be associated with specific match or
action.
Table - represents a hardware block which can be described with match/
action behavior. The match/action can be done on the packets
data or on the internal metadata that it gathered along the
packets traversal throw the pipeline which is vendor specific
and should be exported in order to provide understanding of
ASICs behavior.
Entry - represents single record in a specific table. The entry is
identified by specific combination of values for match/action.
Prior to accessing the tables/entries the drivers provide the header/
field data base which is used by driver to user-space. The data base
is split between the shared headers and unique headers.

Add new KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE capabilities, and in order
to allow MIPS KVM to support VZ without confusing old users (which
expect the trap & emulate implementation), define and start checking
KVM_CREATE_VM type codes.
The codes available are:
- KVM_VM_MIPS_TE = 0
This is the current value expected from the user, and will create a
VM using trap & emulate in user mode, confined to the user mode
address space. This may in future become unavailable if the kernel is
only configured to support VZ, in which case the EINVAL error will be
returned and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE won't be available even though
KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ is.
- KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ = 1
This can be provided when the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability is available
to create a VM using VZ, with a fully virtualized guest virtual
address space. If VZ support is unavailable in the kernel, the EINVAL
error will be returned (although old kernels without the
KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability may well succeed and create a trap &
emulate VM).
This is designed to allow the desired implementation (T&E vs VZ) to be
potentially chosen at runtime rather than being fixed in the kernel
configuration.

The GTP-tunnel driver is explicitly GGSN-side as it searches for PDP
contexts based on the incoming packets _destination_ address. If we
want to place ourselves on the SGSN side of the tunnel, then we want
to be identifying PDP contexts based on _source_ address.
Let it be noted that in a "real" configuration this module would never
be used: the SGSN normally does not see IP packets as input. The
justification for this functionality is for PGW load-testing applications
where the input to the SGSN is locally generally IP traffic.
This patch adds a "role" argument at GTP-link creation time to specify
whether we are on the GGSN or SGSN side of the tunnel; this flag is then
used to determine which part of the IP packet to use in determining
the PDP context.

This is a mostly cosmetic rename of the SGSN netlink attribute to

which case the netlink parameter actually refers to the upstream GGSN
peer. Renaming the parameter makes the relationship clearer.

This patch adds hash of maps support (hashmap->bpf_map).
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS is added.
A map-in-map contains a pointer to another map and lets call
this pointer 'inner_map_ptr'.
Notes on deleting inner_map_ptr from a hash map:
1. For BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC map-in-map, when deleting
an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem itself will go through
a rcu grace period and the inner_map_ptr resides
in the htab_elem.
2. For pre-allocated htab_elem (!BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC),
when deleting an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem may
get reused immediately. This situation is similar
to the existing prealloc-ated use cases.
However, the bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() calls bpf_map_put() which calls
inner_map->ops->map_free(inner_map) which will go
through a rcu grace period (i.e. all bpf_map's map_free
currently goes through a rcu grace period). Hence,
the inner_map_ptr is still safe for the rcu reader side.
This patch also includes BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS to the
check_map_prealloc() in the verifier. preallocation is a
must for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT. Hence, even we don't expect
heavy updates to map-in-map, enforcing BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC for map-in-map
is impossible without disallowing BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT from using
map-in-map first.

This patch adds a few helper funcs to enable map-in-map
support (i.e. outer_map->inner_map). The first outer_map type
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS is also added in this patch.
The next patch will introduce a hash of maps type.
Any bpf map type can be acted as an inner_map. The exception
is BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY because the extra level of
indirection makes it harder to verify the owner_prog_type
and owner_jited.
Multi-level map-in-map is not supported (i.e. map->map is ok
but not map->map->map).
When adding an inner_map to an outer_map, it currently checks the
map_type, key_size, value_size, map_flags, max_entries and ops.
The verifier also uses those map's properties to do static analysis.
map_flags is needed because we need to ensure BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
is using a preallocated hashtab for the inner_hash also. ops and
max_entries are needed to generate inlined map-lookup instructions.
For simplicity reason, a simple '==' test is used for both map_flags
and max_entries. The equality of ops is implied by the equality of
map_type.
During outer_map creation time, an inner_map_fd is needed to create an
outer_map. However, the inner_map_fd's life time does not depend on the
outer_map. The inner_map_fd is merely used to initialize
the inner_map_meta of the outer_map.
Also, for the outer_map:
* It allows element update and delete from syscall
* It allows element lookup from bpf_prog
The above is similar to the current fd_array pattern.

With the introduction of open flow 'clone' action, the OVS user space
can now translate the 'clone' action into kernel datapath 'sample'
action, with 100% probability, to ensure that the clone semantics,
which is that the packet seen by the clone action is the same as the
packet seen by the action after clone, is faithfully carried out
in the datapath.
While the sample action in the datpath has the matching semantics,
its implementation is only optimized for its original use.
Specifically, there are two limitation: First, there is a 3 level of
nesting restriction, enforced at the flow downloading time. This
limit turns out to be too restrictive for the 'clone' use case.
Second, the implementation avoid recursive call only if the sample
action list has a single userspace action.
The main optimization implemented in this series removes the static
nesting limit check, instead, implement the run time recursion limit
check, and recursion avoidance similar to that of the 'recirc' action.
This optimization solve both #1 and #2 issues above.
One related optimization attempts to avoid copying flow key as
long as the actions enclosed does not change the flow key. The
detection is performed only once at the flow downloading time.
Another related optimization is to rewrite the action list
at flow downloading time in order to save the fast path from parsing
the sample action list in its original form repeatedly.
