This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.
To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

The IOP_XATTR flag is set on sockfs because sockfs supports getting the
"system.sockprotoname" xattr. Since commit 6c6ef9f2, this flag is checked for
setxattr support as well. This is wrong on sockfs because security xattr
support there is supposed to be provided by security_inode_setsecurity. The
smack security module relies on socket labels (xattrs).
Fix this by adding a security xattr handler on sockfs that returns
-EAGAIN, and by checking for -EAGAIN in setxattr.
We cannot simply check for -EOPNOTSUPP in setxattr because there are
filesystems that neither have direct security xattr support nor support
via security_inode_setsecurity. A more proper fix might be to move the
call to security_inode_setsecurity into sockfs, but it's not clear to me
if that is safe: we would end up calling security_inode_post_setxattr after
that as well.

Do not send the next message in sendmmsg for partial sendmsg
invocations.
sendmmsg assumes that it can continue sending the next message
when the return value of the individual sendmsg invocations
is positive. It results in corrupting the data for TCP,
SCTP, and UNIX streams.
For example, sendmmsg([["abcd"], ["efgh"]]) can result in a stream
of "aefgh" if the first sendmsg invocation sends only the first
byte while the second sendmsg goes through.
Datagram sockets either send the entire datagram or fail, so
this patch affects only sockets of type SOCK_STREAM and
SOCK_SEQPACKET.

Protocol sockets (struct sock) don't have UIDs, but most of the
time, they map 1:1 to userspace sockets (struct socket) which do.
Various operations such as the iptables xt_owner match need
access to the "UID of a socket", and do so by following the
backpointer to the struct socket. This involves taking
sk_callback_lock and doesn't work when there is no socket
because userspace has already called close().
Simplify this by adding a sk_uid field to struct sock whose value
matches the UID of the corresponding struct socket. The semantics
are as follows:
1. Whenever sk_socket is non-null: sk_uid is the same as the UID
in sk_socket, i.e., matches the return value of sock_i_uid.
Specifically, the UID is set when userspace calls socket(),
fchown(), or accept().
2. When sk_socket is NULL, sk_uid is defined as follows:
- For a socket that no longer has a sk_socket because
userspace has called close(): the previous UID.
- For a cloned socket (e.g., an incoming connection that is
established but on which userspace has not yet called
accept): the UID of the socket it was cloned from.
- For a socket that has never had an sk_socket: UID 0 inside
the user namespace corresponding to the network namespace
the socket belongs to.
Kernel sockets created by sock_create_kern are a special case
of #1 and sk_uid is the user that created them. For kernel
sockets created at network namespace creation time, such as the
per-processor ICMP and TCP sockets, this is the user that created
the network namespace.

Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created,
so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network
namespace.
We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't
report sockets which are not bound or connected.
This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS
and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace.
A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to
use this ioctl.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Even though timespec might be
sufficient to represent timeouts, use struct timespec64 here as the plan
is to get rid of all timespec reference in the kernel.
The patch transitions the common functions: poll_select_set_timeout()
and select_estimate_accuracy() to use timespec64. And, all the syscalls
that use these functions are transitioned in the same patch.
The restart block parameters for poll uses monotonic time. Use
timespec64 here as well to assign timeout value. This parameter in the
restart block need not change because this only holds the monotonic
timestamp at which timeout should occur. And, unsigned long data type
should be big enough for this timestamp.
The system call interfaces will be handled in a separate series.
Compat interfaces need not change as timespec64 is an alias to struct
timespec on a 64 bit system.

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.
Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit
everywhere.
Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.

Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
tx timestamps.
Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.
Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
write.

Add a new msg flag called MSG_BATCH. This flag is used in sendmsg to
indicate that more messages will follow (i.e. a batch of messages is

messages are not merged into one packet, they are sent individually.
sendmmsg is updated so that each contained message except for the

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from

- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

Commit ceb5d58b21 ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from
the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in
struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA
from struct socket's flags member into that new place.
Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least
not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode().
One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs
failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent
window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned
above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs
is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is
reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the
struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that
somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags,
preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming
available and it got stuck.
Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags
member to zero.

Dmitry provided a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
triggering a fault in sock_wake_async() when async IO is requested.
Said program stressed af_unix sockets, but the issue is generic
and should be addressed in core networking stack.
The problem is that by the time sock_wake_async() is called,
we should not access the @flags field of 'struct socket',
as the inode containing this socket might be freed without
further notice, and without RCU grace period.
We already maintain an RCU protected structure, "struct socket_wq"
so moving SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE & SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA into it
is the safe route.
It also reduces number of cache lines needing dirtying, so might
provide a performance improvement anyway.
In followup patches, we might move remaining flags (SOCK_NOSPACE,
SOCK_PASSCRED, SOCK_PASSSEC) to save 8 bytes and let 'struct socket'

namespace refcounting and remove the unnecessary hand rolled network

This change allows the tun code to directly call sock_put bypassing

unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording

skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room
in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to
the inability to export skb->mark, or any other aliased field to
userspace if so desired.
Moving the dropcount metric to skb->cb[] eliminates this problem
at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families
using it.
