Add dmabuf information to page_pool stats:

$ ./cli.py --spec ../netlink/specs/netdev.yaml --dump page-pool-get

  'ifindex': 3,
  'inflight': 1023,
  'inflight-mem': 4190208},

API takes the dma-buf fd as input, and binds it to the netdevice. The
user can specify the rx queues to bind the dma-buf to.

<title>netdev: add qstat for csum complete</title>

Recent commit 0cfe71f45f42 ("netdev: add queue stats") added
a lot of useful stats, but only those immediately needed by virtio.
Presumably virtio does not support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE,
so statistic for that form of checksumming wasn't included.
Other drivers will definitely need it, in fact we expect it
to be needed in net-next soon (mlx5). So let's add the definition
of the counter for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE to uAPI in net already,
so that the counters are in a more natural order (all subsequent
counters have not been present in any released kernel, yet).

<content type='text'>
The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol
related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under
ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink
API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new
drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to
driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report
only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats
involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is
read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user
space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel
how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime
kernel will overflow user buffer.

Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is
exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there.
Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful
when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than
just bytes and packets.

The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats.
The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not
matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2023-12-18

This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.

The main changes are:

1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.

End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.

2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.

It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.

Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
             -o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
             -o delegate_progs=kprobe \
             -o delegate_attachs=xdp

3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.

 - Complete precision tracking support for register spills
 - Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
 - Fix access to uninit stack slots
 - Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
   It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
   digit to 50-60% for some programs.
 - Fix verifier retval logic

4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.

5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.

End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.

6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.

7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.

It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2023-12-18

This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.

The main changes are:

1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.

End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.

2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.

It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.

Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
             -o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
             -o delegate_progs=kprobe \
             -o delegate_attachs=xdp

3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.

 - Complete precision tracking support for register spills
 - Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
 - Fix access to uninit stack slots
 - Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
   It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
   digit to 50-60% for some programs.
 - Fix verifier retval logic

4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.

5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.

End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.

6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.

7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.

It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.

8) Expand bpf_cgrp_storage to support cgroup1 non-attach, from Yafang Shao.

9) BPF file verification via fsverity, from Song Liu.

It allows BPF progs get fsverity digest.

Implement functionality that enables drivers to expose VLAN tag
to XDP code.

VLAN tag is represented by 2 variables:
- protocol ID, which is passed to bpf code in BE
- VLAN TCI, in host byte order
