When enabling the sub-CRQ IRQ a previous update sent a H_EOI prior
to the enablement to clear any pending interrupts that may be present
across a partition migration. This fixed a firmware bug where a
migration could erroneously indicate that a H_EOI was pending.
The H_EOI should only be sent when enabling during a mobility
event though. Doing so at other time could wrong and can produce
extra driver output when IRQs are enabled when doing TX completion.

New ICs (like the one on the Lenovo T480s) answer to
ETP_SMBUS_IAP_VERSION_CMD 4 bytes instead of 3. This corrupts the stack
as i2c_smbus_read_block_data() uses the values returned by the i2c
device to know how many data it need to return.
i2c_smbus_read_block_data() can read up to 32 bytes (I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX)
and there is no safeguard on how many bytes are provided in the return
value. Ensure we always have enough space for any future firmware.
Also 0-initialize the values to prevent any access to uninitialized memory.

udp gso fixes
A few small fixes:
- disallow segmentation with XFRM
- do not leak gso packets into the ingress path
Changes
v1 -> v2
- fix build failure in team.c
- drop scatter-gather fix:
this is now fixed by commit 113f99c33585 ("net: test tailroom

built non-linear regardless of NETIF_F_SG and skb_segment builds
linear segs.

Until the udp receive stack supports large packets (UDP GRO), GSO
packets must not loop from the egress to the ingress path.
Revert the change that added NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 to various virtual
devices through NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL as this included devices that
may loop packets, such as veth and macvlan.
Instead add it to specific devices that forward to another device's
egress path, bonding and team.

This time, Lenovo decided to go with different pieces in its latest
series of Thinkpads.
For those we have been able to test:
- the T480 is using Synaptics with an IBM trackpoint
-> it behaves properly with or without intertouch, there is no point
not using RMI4
- the X1 Carbon 6th gen is using Synaptics with an IBM trackpoint
-> the touchpad doesn't behave properly under PS/2 so we have to
switch it to RMI4 if we do not want to have disappointed users
- the X280 is using Synaptics with an ALPS trackpoint
-> the recent fixes in the trackpoint handling fixed it so upstream
now works fine with or without RMI4, and there is no point not
using RMI4
- the T480s is using an Elan touchpad, so that's a different story

trackpoints should use RMI
Lenovo use two different trackpoints in the fifth generation Thinkpad X1
Carbon. Both are accessible over SMBUS/RMI but the pnpIDs are missing.
This patch is for the Elantech trackpoint specifically which also
reports SMB version 3 so rmi_smbus needs to be updated in order to
handle it.
For the record, I was not the first one to come up with this patch as it
has been floating around the internet for a while now. However, I have
spent significant time with testing and my efforts to find the original
author of the patch have been unsuccessful.

When link is down, writes to the device might fail with
-EIO. Userspace needs an indication when the status is resolved. As a
fix, tun_net_open() attempts to wake up writers - but that is only
effective if SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE has been set in the past. This is
not the case of vhost_net which only poll for EPOLLOUT after it meets
errors during sendmsg().
This patch fixes this by making sure SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE is set when
socket is not writable or device is down to guarantee EPOLLOUT will be
raised in either tun_chr_poll() or tun_sock_write_space() after device
is up.

When NFP is modelled as a switch we assign phys_port_name to respective
port(representor )s:
vNIC0 - | - PF port (pf%d) MAC/PHY (p%d[s%d]) - |E==
In most cases there is only one vNIC for communication with the switch.
If there is more than one we need to be able to identify them. Use %d
as phys_port_name of the vNICs.
We don't have to pass ID to nfp_net_debugfs_vnic_add() separately any
more.

PCI PFs can host more than one logical endpoint. In NFP terms
this means having more than one vNIC for PCIe PF. The vNICs
are usually corresponding 1:1 to Ethernet ports. In core NIC
we use the legacy idea of vNIC *being* the Ethernet port,
hence netdevs put pX(sY) in their phys_port_name, like Ethernet
ports would. When ASIC ports are fully represented we need to
be able to name different PCIe PF ports, too. Use a scheme
similar to Ethernet ports - pfXsY, for PCIe PF number X,
sub-port Y.

bpfilter
v2->v3:
- followed Luis's suggestion and significantly simplied first patch
with shmem_kernel_file_setup+kernel_write. Added kdoc for new helper
- fixed typos and race to access pipes with mutex
- tested with bpfilter being 'builtin'. CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH=y|m both work.
Interesting to see a usermode executable being embedded inside vmlinux.
- it doesn't hurt to enable bpfilter in .config.
ip_setsockopt commands sent to usermode via pipes and -ENOPROTOOPT is
returned from userspace, so kernel falls back to original iptables code
v1->v2:
this patch set is almost a full rewrite of the earlier umh modules approach
The v1 of patches and follow up discussion was covered by LWN:
https://lwn.net/Articles/749108/
I believe the v2 addresses all issues brought up by Andy and others.
Mainly there are zero changes to kernel/module.c
Instead of teaching module loading logic to recognize special
umh module, let normal kernel modules execute part of its own
.init.rodata as a new user space process (Andy's idea)
Patch 1 introduces this new helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
Input:
data + len == executable file
Output:
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};
Advantages vs v1:
- the embedded user mode executable is stored as .init.rodata inside
normal kernel module. These pages are freed when .ko finishes loading
- the elf file is copied into tmpfs file. The user mode process is swappable.
- the communication between user mode process and 'parent' kernel module
is done via two unix pipes, hence protocol is not exposed to
user space
- impossible to launch umh on its own (that was the main issue of v1)
and impossible to be man-in-the-middle due to pipes
- bpfilter.ko consists of tiny kernel part that passes the data
between kernel and umh via pipes and much bigger umh part that
doing all the work
- 'lsmod' shows bpfilter.ko as usual.
'rmmod bpfilter' removes kernel module and kills corresponding umh
- signed bpfilter.ko covers the whole image including umh code
Few issues:
- the user can still attach to the process and debug it with
'gdb /proc/pid/exe pid', but 'gdb -p pid' doesn't work.
(a bit worse comparing to v1)
- tinyconfig will notice a small increase in .text

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko
The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
Example:
$ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o

- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko
bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.
Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.
Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko
If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.

Introduce helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};
that GPLed kernel modules (signed or unsigned) can use it to execute part
of its own data as swappable user mode process.
The kernel will do:
- allocate a unique file in tmpfs
- populate that file with [data, data + len] bytes
- user-mode-helper code will do_execve that file and, before the process
starts, the kernel will create two unix pipes for bidirectional
communication between kernel module and umh
- close tmpfs file, effectively deleting it
- the fork_usermode_blob will return zero on success and populate
'struct umh_info' with two unix pipes and the pid of the user process
As the first step in the development of the bpfilter project
the fork_usermode_blob() helper is introduced to allow user mode code
to be invoked from a kernel module. The idea is that user mode code plus
normal kernel module code are built as part of the kernel build
and installed as traditional kernel module into distro specified location,
such that from a distribution point of view, there is
no difference between regular kernel modules and kernel modules + umh code.
Such modules can be signed, modprobed, rmmod, etc. The use of this new helper
by a kernel module doesn't make it any special from kernel and user space
tooling point of view.
Such approach enables kernel to delegate functionality traditionally done
by the kernel modules into the user space processes (either root or !root) and
reduces security attack surface of the new code. The buggy umh code would crash
the user process, but not the kernel. Another advantage is that umh code
of the kernel module can be debugged and tested out of user space
(e.g. opening the possibility to run clang sanitizers, fuzzers or
user space test suites on the umh code).
In case of the bpfilter project such architecture allows complex control plane
to be done in the user space while bpf based data plane stays in the kernel.
Since umh can crash, can be oom-ed by the kernel, killed by the admin,
the kernel module that uses them (like bpfilter) needs to manage life
time of umh on its own via two unix pipes and the pid of umh.
The exit code of such kernel module should kill the umh it started,
so that rmmod of the kernel module will cleanup the corresponding umh.
Just like if the kernel module does kmalloc() it should kfree() it
in the exit code.

In patch "brcmfmac: add support for sysfs initiated coredump", a new
scenario of brcmf_debug_create_memdump was added in which the user of
the function might not necessarily provide prefix data. Hence the
function should not assume the data is always valid and should perform a
check before copying.

Since commit 3c47d19ff4dc ("drivers: base: add coredump driver ops")
it is possible to initiate a device coredump from user-space. This
patch adds support for it adding the .coredump() driver callback.
As there is no longer a need to initiate it through debugfs remove
that code.

The driver already supports device coredump initiated by firmware
event. Since commit 3c47d19ff4dc ("drivers: base: add coredump driver
ops") it is also possible to initiate it from user-space through
sysfs. This patch adds support for SDIO and PCIe devices.
