Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-07 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Add a start of a framework for extending struct xdp_buff without having the overhead of populating every data at runtime. Idea is to have a new per-queue struct xdp_rxq_info that holds read mostly data (currently that is, queue number and a pointer to the corresponding netdev) which is set up during rxqueue config time. When a XDP program is invoked, struct xdp_buff holds a pointer to struct xdp_rxq_info that the BPF program can then walk. The user facing BPF program that uses struct xdp_md for context can use these members directly, and the verifier rewrites context access transparently by walking the xdp_rxq_info and net_device pointers to load the data, from Jesper. 2) Redo the reporting of offload device information to user space such that it works in combination with network namespaces. The latter is reported through a device/inode tuple as similarly done in other subsystems as well (e.g. perf) in order to identify the namespace. For this to work, ns_get_path() has been generalized such that the namespace can be retrieved not only from a specific task (perf case), but also from a callback where we deduce the netns (ns_common) from a netdevice. bpftool support using the new uapi info and extensive test cases for test_offload.py in BPF selftests have been added as well, from Jakub. 3) Add two bpftool improvements: i) properly report the bpftool version such that it corresponds to the version from the kernel source tree. So pick the right linux/version.h from the source tree instead of the installed one. ii) fix bpftool and also bpf_jit_disasm build with bintutils >= 2.9. The reason for the build breakage is that binutils library changed the function signature to select the disassembler. Given this is needed in multiple tools, add a proper feature detection to the tools/build/features infrastructure, from Roman. 4) Implement the BPF syscall command BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY for the stacktrace map. It is currently unimplemented, but there are use cases where user space needs to walk all stacktrace map entries e.g. for dumping or deleting map entries w/o having to close and recreate the map. Add BPF selftests along with it, from Yonghong. 5) Few follow-up cleanups for the bpftool cgroup code: i) rename the cgroup 'list' command into 'show' as we have it for other subcommands as well, ii) then alias the 'show' command such that 'list' is accepted which is also common practice in iproute2, and iii) remove couple of newlines from error messages using p_err(), from Jakub. 6) Two follow-up cleanups to sockmap code: i) remove the unused bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb() function and ii) only build the sockmap infrastructure when CONFIG_INET is enabled since it's only aware of TCP sockets at this time, from John. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
