Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames

   - sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack

   - net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs

  BPF:

   - BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting

   - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
     enhancements

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames

   - sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:

   - Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
     implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
     make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
     disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.

   - Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
     support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
     when scheduling back in.

   - Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
     scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
     interface available which does not disable preemption when a
     mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
     guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
     across preemption.

   - Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
     utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
     architecture allows it.

   - Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
     the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
     sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
     pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
     removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
     conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
     implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
     work around these side effects.

     The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
     systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
     non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"

<title>net: Introduce preferred busy-polling</title>

<id>7fd3253a7de6a317a0683f83739479fb880bffc8</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
