Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - If a hardware random number generator passes a sufficiently large
   chunk of entropy to random.c during early boot, we now skip the
   "fast_init" business and let it initialize the RNG.

   This makes CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER=y actually useful.

 - We already have the command line `random.trust_cpu=0/1` option for
   RDRAND, which let distros enable CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU=y while
   placating concerns of more paranoid users.

   Now we add `random.trust_bootloader=0/1` so that distros can
   similarly enable CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER=y.

 - Re-add a comment that got removed by accident in the recent revert.

 - Add the spec-compliant ACPI CID for vmgenid, which Microsoft added to
   the vmgenid spec at Ard's request during earlier review.

 - Restore build-time randomness via the latent entropy plugin, which
   was lost when we transitioned to using a hash function.

<title>random: treat bootloader trust toggle the same way as cpu trust toggle</title>

If CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU is set, the RNG initializes using RDRAND.
But, the user can disable (or enable) this behavior by setting
`random.trust_cpu=0/1` on the kernel command line. This allows system
builders to do reasonable things while avoiding howls from tinfoil
hatters. (Or vice versa.)

CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is basically the same thing, but regards
the seed passed via EFI or device tree, which might come from RDRAND or
a TPM or somewhere else. In order to allow distros to more easily enable
this while avoiding those same howls (or vice versa), this commit adds
the corresponding `random.trust_bootloader=0/1` toggle.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering

      - Allowing yielding when zapping TDP MMU roots in response to the
        root's last reference being put.

      - Batch more TLB flushes with an RCU trick. Whoever frees the
        paging structure now holds RCU as a proxy for all vCPUs running

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:
   - Proper emulation of the OSLock feature of the debug architecture

   - Scalibility improvements for the MMU lock when dirty logging is on

   - New VMID allocator, which will eventually help with SVA in VMs

   - Better support for PMUs in heterogenous systems

   - PSCI 1.1 support, enabling support for SYSTEM_RESET2

   - Implement CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST at EL2

   - Make CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2077057 default y

   - Reduce the overhead of VM exit when no interrupt is pending

   - Remove traces of 32bit ARM host support from the documentation

   - Updated vgic selftests

   - Various cleanups, doc updates and spelling fixes

  RISC-V:
   - Prevent KVM_COMPAT from being selected

   - Optimize __kvm_riscv_switch_to() implementation

   - RISC-V SBI v0.3 support

  s390:
   - memop selftest

   - fix SCK locking

   - adapter interruptions virtualization for secure guests

   - add Claudio Imbrenda as maintainer

   - first step to do proper storage key checking

  x86:
   - Continue switching kvm_x86_ops to static_call(); introduce
     static_call_cond() and __static_call_ret0 when applicable.

   - Cleanup unused arguments in several functions

   - Synthesize AMD 0x80000021 leaf

   - Fixes and optimization for Hyper-V sparse-bank hypercalls

   - Implement Hyper-V's enlightened MSR bitmap for nested SVM

   - Remove MMU auditing

   - Eager splitting of page tables (new aka "TDP" MMU only) when dirty
     page tracking is enabled

   - Cleanup the implementation of the guest PGD cache

<title>panic: move panic_print before kmsg dumpers</title>
<updated>2022-03-24T02:00:35+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.exis.tech/linux.git/commit/?id=f953f140f318a641c443b0b8c618155ed90a7a10'/>
<id>f953f140f318a641c443b0b8c618155ed90a7a10</id>
<content type='text'>
The panic_print setting allows users to collect more information in a
panic event, like memory stats, tasks, CPUs backtraces, etc.  This is an
interesting debug mechanism, but currently the print event happens *after*
kmsg_dump(), meaning that pstore, for example, cannot collect a dmesg with
the panic_print extra information.

This patch changes that in 2 steps:

(a) The panic_print setting allows to replay the existing kernel log
    buffer to the console (bit 5), besides the extra information dump.
    This functionality makes sense only at the end of the panic()
    function.  So, we hereby allow to distinguish the two situations by a
    new boolean parameter in the function panic_print_sys_info().

(b) With the above change, we can safely call panic_print_sys_info()
    before kmsg_dump(), allowing to dump the extra information when using
    pstore or other kmsg dumpers.

The additional messages from panic_print could overwrite the oldest
messages when the buffer is full.  The only reasonable solution is to use
a large enough log buffer, hence we added an advice into the kernel
parameters documentation about that.
