This patch is a cleanup which follows the idea in commit e11ecddf5128 (tcp: use
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags in input path),
and it may reduce register pressure since skb->cb[] access is fast,
bacause skb is probably in a register.

Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in
a write or receive queue when doing the various walks.
After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done.
Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses
skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs
3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and
shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb)
This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn
only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in
write queue.
This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags
to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible.
This also speeds up all sack processing in general.
This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty
shinfo.

====================
tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout
TCP had the assumption that IPCB and IP6CB are first members of skb->cb[]
This is fine, except that IPCB/IP6CB are used in TCP for a very short time
in input path.
What really matters for TCP stack is to get skb->next,
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq in the same cache line.
skb that are immediately consumed do not care because whole skb->cb[] is
hot in cpu cache, while skb that sit in wocket write queue or receive queues
do not need TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at all.
This patch set implements the prereq for IPv4, IPv6, and TCP to make this
possible. This makes TCP more efficient.

TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues
(in order and out of order queues)
Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires
access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq
These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we
waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows
have either packet drops or packet reorders.
We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because
this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster
in the skb lists.
Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path.
Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup
skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path,
and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

bcmgenet_wol_resume() is only used in bcmgenet_resume(), which is only
defined when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is enabled. This leads to the following
compile warning when building with !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP:

Since bcmgenet_resume() is the only user of bcmgenet_wol_resume(), fix

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-23
This patch series adds support for the FM10000 Ethernet switch host
interface. The Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch is a 48-port Ethernet switch
supporting both Ethernet ports and PCI Express host interfaces. The fm10k
driver provides support for the host interface portion of the switch, both
PF and VF.
As the host interfaces are directly connected to the switch this results in
some significant differences versus a standard network driver. For example
there is no PHY or MII on the device. Since packets are delivered directly
from the switch to the host interface these are unnecessary. Otherwise most
of the functionality is very similar to our other network drivers such as
ixgbe or igb. For example we support all the standard network offloads,
jumbo frames, SR-IOV (64 VFS), PTP, and some VXLAN and NVGRE offloads.
v2: converted dev_consume_skb_any() to dev_kfree_skb_any()
fix up PTP code based on feedback from the community
v3: converted the use of smb_mb__before_clear_bit() to smb_mb__before_atomic()

csum_partial() is a generic function which is not optimised for small fixed
length calculations, and its use requires to store "from" and "to" values in
memory while we already have them available in registers. This also has impact,
especially on RISC processors. In the same spirit as the change done by
Eric Dumazet on csum_replace2(), this patch rewrites inet_proto_csum_replace4()
taking into account RFC1624.
I spotted during a NATted tcp transfert that csum_partial() is one of top 5
consuming functions (around 8%), and the second user of csum_partial() is
inet_proto_csum_replace4().

While profiling TCP stack, I noticed one useless atomic operation
in tcp_sendmsg(), caused by skb_header_release().
It turns out all current skb_header_release() users have a fresh skb,
that no other user can see, so we can avoid one atomic operation.
Introduce __skb_header_release() to clearly document this.
This gave me a 1.5 % improvement on TCP_RR workload.

Sparse complains about fec_enet_select_queue() not being static.
Feedback from David Miller [1] was to remove this function instead of making it
static:
"Please just delete this function.
It's overriding code which does exactly the same thing.
Actually, more precisely, this code is duplicating code in a way that
bypasses many core facilitites of the networking. For example, this
override means that socket based flow steering, XPS, etc. are all
not happening on these devices.
Without ->ndo_select_queue(), the flow dissector does __netdev_pick_tx
which is exactly what you want to happen."

Note that patches 1,3,4,7 add commands and attributes to the syscall
while being backwards compatible from each other, which should demonstrate
how other commands can be added in the future.
After this set the programs can be loaded for testing only. They cannot
be attached to any events. Though manpage talks about tracing and sockets,
it will be a subject of future patches.

BPF(2) Linux Programmer's Manual BPF(2)
NAME
bpf - perform a command on eBPF map or program
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/bpf.h>
int bpf(int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size);
DESCRIPTION
bpf() syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on
eBPF which can be characterized as "universal in-kernel virtual
machine". eBPF is similar to original Berkeley Packet Filter (or
"classic BPF") used to filter network packets. Both statically analyze
the programs before loading them into the kernel to ensure that
programs cannot harm the running system.
eBPF extends classic BPF in multiple ways including ability to call in-
kernel helper functions and access shared data structures like eBPF
maps. The programs can be written in a restricted C that is compiled
into eBPF bytecode and executed on the eBPF virtual machine or JITed
into native instruction set.
eBPF Design/Architecture
eBPF maps is a generic storage of different types. User process can
create multiple maps (with key/value being opaque bytes of data) and
access them via file descriptor. In parallel eBPF programs can access
maps from inside the kernel. It's up to user process and eBPF program
to decide what they store inside maps.
eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the
user process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF
program is a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier
statically determines that the program terminates and is safe to
execute. During verification the program takes a hold of maps that it
intends to use, so selected maps cannot be removed until the program is
unloaded. The program can be attached to different events. These events
can be packets, tracepoint events and other types in the future. A new
event triggers execution of the program which may store information
about the event in the maps. Beyond storing data the programs may call
into in-kernel helper functions which may, for example, dump stack, do
trace_printk or other forms of live kernel debugging. The same program
can be attached to multiple events. Different programs can access the
same map:
tracepoint tracepoint tracepoint sk_buff sk_buff
event A event B event C on eth0 on eth1

following:
BPF_MAP_CREATE
Create a map with given type and attributes and return map FD
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
Lookup element by key in a given map and return its value
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM

attr is a pointer to a union of type bpf_attr as defined below.
size is the size of the union.
union bpf_attr {
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_MAP_CREATE command */
__u32 map_type;
__u32 key_size; /* size of key in bytes */
__u32 value_size; /* size of value in bytes */
__u32 max_entries; /* max number of entries in a map */
};
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_MAP_*_ELEM commands */
__u32 map_fd;
__aligned_u64 key;
union {
__aligned_u64 value;
__aligned_u64 next_key;
};
};
struct { /* anonymous struct used by BPF_PROG_LOAD command */
__u32 prog_type;
__u32 insn_cnt;
__aligned_u64 insns; /* 'const struct bpf_insn *' */
__aligned_u64 license; /* 'const char *' */

__u32 log_size; /* size of user buffer */
__aligned_u64 log_buf; /* user supplied 'char *' buffer */
};
} __attribute__((aligned(8)));
eBPF maps
maps is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between
kernel and userspace.
Any map type has the following attributes:
. type
. max number of elements
. key size in bytes
. value size in bytes
The following wrapper functions demonstrate how this syscall can be
used to access the maps. The functions use the cmd argument to invoke
different operations.
BPF_MAP_CREATE
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
int value_size, int max_entries)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_type = map_type,
.key_size = key_size,
.value_size = value_size,
.max_entries = max_entries
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
bpf() syscall creates a map of map_type type and given
attributes key_size, value_size, max_entries. On success it
returns process-local file descriptor. On error, -1 is returned
and errno is set to EINVAL or EPERM or ENOMEM.
The attributes key_size and value_size will be used by verifier
during program loading to check that program is calling
bpf_map_*_elem() helper functions with correctly initialized key
and that program doesn't access map element value beyond
specified value_size. For example, when map is created with
key_size = 8 and program does:
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, fp - 4)
such program will be rejected, since in-kernel helper function
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key) expects to read 8 bytes
from 'key' pointer, but 'fp - 4' starting address will cause out
of bounds stack access.
Similarly, when map is created with value_size = 1 and program
does:
value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);
*(u32 *)value = 1;
such program will be rejected, since it accesses value pointer
beyond specified 1 byte value_size limit.
Currently only hash table map_type is supported:
enum bpf_map_type {
BPF_MAP_TYPE_UNSPEC,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
};
map_type selects one of the available map implementations in
kernel. For all map_types eBPF programs access maps with the
same bpf_map_lookup_elem()/bpf_map_update_elem() helper
functions.
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
bpf() syscall looks up an element with given key in a map fd.
If element is found it returns zero and stores element's value
into value. If element is not found it returns -1 and sets
errno to ENOENT.
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call creates or updates element with given key/value in a
map fd. On success it returns zero. On error, -1 is returned
and errno is set to EINVAL or EPERM or ENOMEM or E2BIG. E2BIG
indicates that number of elements in the map reached max_entries
limit specified at map creation time.
BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM
int bpf_delete_elem(int fd, void *key)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call deletes an element in a map fd with given key. Returns
zero on success. If element is not found it returns -1 and sets
errno to ENOENT.
BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
int bpf_get_next_key(int fd, void *key, void *next_key)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.next_key = ptr_to_u64(next_key),
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
The call looks up an element by key in a given map fd and
returns key of the next element into next_key pointer. If key is
not found, it return zero and returns key of the first element
into next_key. If key is the last element, it returns -1 and
sets errno to ENOENT. Other possible errno values are ENOMEM,
EFAULT, EPERM, EINVAL. This method can be used to iterate over
all elements of the map.
close(map_fd)
will delete the map map_fd. Exiting process will delete all
maps automatically.
eBPF programs
BPF_PROG_LOAD
This cmd is used to load eBPF program into the kernel.
char bpf_log_buf[LOG_BUF_SIZE];
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
const char *license)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.prog_type = prog_type,
.insns = ptr_to_u64(insns),
.insn_cnt = insn_cnt,
.license = ptr_to_u64(license),
.log_buf = ptr_to_u64(bpf_log_buf),
.log_size = LOG_BUF_SIZE,
.log_level = 1,
};
return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
prog_type is one of the available program types:
enum bpf_prog_type {
BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC,
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET,
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING,
};
By picking prog_type program author selects a set of helper
functions callable from eBPF program and corresponding format of
struct bpf_context (which is the data blob passed into the
program as the first argument). For example, the programs
loaded with prog_type = TYPE_TRACING may call bpf_printk()
helper, whereas TYPE_SOCKET programs may not. The set of
functions available to the programs under given type may
increase in the future.
Currently the set of functions for TYPE_TRACING is:
bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key) // lookup key in a map_fd
bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, void *key, void *value) // update key/value
bpf_map_delete_elem(map_fd, void *key) // delete key in a map_fd
bpf_ktime_get_ns(void) // returns current ktime
bpf_printk(char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) // prints into trace buffer
bpf_memcmp(void *ptr1, void *ptr2, int size) // non-faulting memcmp
bpf_fetch_ptr(void *ptr) // non-faulting load pointer from any address
bpf_fetch_u8(void *ptr) // non-faulting 1 byte load
bpf_fetch_u16(void *ptr) // other non-faulting loads
bpf_fetch_u32(void *ptr)
bpf_fetch_u64(void *ptr)
and bpf_context is defined as:
struct bpf_context {
/* argN fields match one to one to arguments passed to trace events */
u64 arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6;
/* return value from kretprobe event or from syscall_exit event */
u64 ret;
};
The set of helper functions for TYPE_SOCKET is TBD.
More program types may be added in the future. Like
BPF_PROG_TYPE_USER_TRACING for unprivileged programs.
BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC is used for testing only. Such programs
cannot be attached to events.
insns array of "struct bpf_insn" instructions
insn_cnt number of instructions in the program
license license string, which must be GPL compatible to call
helper functions marked gpl_only
log_buf user supplied buffer that in-kernel verifier is using to
store verification log. Log is a multi-line string that should
be used by program author to understand how verifier came to
conclusion that program is unsafe. The format of the output can
change at any time as verifier evolves.
log_size size of user buffer. If size of the buffer is not large
enough to store all verifier messages, -1 is returned and errno
is set to ENOSPC.
log_level verbosity level of eBPF verifier, where zero means no
logs provided
close(prog_fd)
will unload eBPF program
The maps are accesible from programs and generally tie the two
together. Programs process various events (like tracepoint, kprobe,
packets) and store the data into maps. User space fetches data from
maps. Either the same or a different map may be used by user space as
configuration space to alter program behavior on the fly.
Events
Once an eBPF program is loaded, it can be attached to an event. Various
kernel subsystems have different ways to do so. For example:
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd));
will attach the program prog_fd to socket sock which was received by
prior call to socket().
ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
will attach the program prog_fd to perf event event_fd which was
received by prior call to perf_event_open().
Another way to attach the program to a tracing event is:
event_fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/filter");
write(event_fd, "bpf-123"); /* where 123 is eBPF program FD */
/* here program is attached and will be triggered by events */
close(event_fd); /* to detach from event */
EXAMPLES
/* eBPF+sockets example:
* 1. create map with maximum of 2 elements
* 2. set map[6] = 0 and map[17] = 0
* 3. load eBPF program that counts number of TCP and UDP packets received
* via map[skb->ip->proto]++
* 4. attach prog_fd to raw socket via setsockopt()
* 5. print number of received TCP/UDP packets every second

RETURN VALUE
For a successful call, the return value depends on the operation:
BPF_MAP_CREATE
The new file descriptor associated with eBPF map.
BPF_PROG_LOAD
The new file descriptor associated with eBPF program.
All other commands
Zero.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EPERM bpf() syscall was made without sufficient privilege (without the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).
ENOMEM Cannot allocate sufficient memory.
EBADF fd is not an open file descriptor
EFAULT One of the pointers ( key or value or log_buf or insns ) is
outside accessible address space.
EINVAL The value specified in cmd is not recognized by this kernel.
EINVAL For BPF_MAP_CREATE, either map_type or attributes are invalid.
EINVAL For BPF_MAP_*_ELEM commands, some of the fields of "union
bpf_attr" unused by this command are not set to zero.
EINVAL For BPF_PROG_LOAD, attempt to load invalid program (unrecognized
instruction or uses reserved fields or jumps out of range or
loop detected or calls unknown function).
EACCES For BPF_PROG_LOAD, though program has valid instructions, it was
rejected, since it was deemed unsafe (may access disallowed
memory region or uninitialized stack/register or function
constraints don't match actual types or misaligned access). In
such case it is recommended to call bpf() again with log_level =
1 and examine log_buf for specific reason provided by verifier.
ENOENT For BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM or BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, indicates that
element with given key was not found.
E2BIG program is too large or a map reached max_entries limit (max
number of elements).
NOTES
These commands may be used only by a privileged process (one having the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

the library includes a trivial set of BPF syscall wrappers:
int bpf_create_map(int key_size, int value_size, int max_entries);
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value);
int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value);

bpf_prog_load() stores verifier log into global bpf_log_buf[] array
and BPF_*() macros to build instructions
2.
test stubs configure eBPF infra with 'unspec' map and program types.
These are fake types used by user space testsuite only.

This patch adds verifier core which simulates execution of every insn and
records the state of registers and program stack. Every branch instruction seen
during simulation is pushed into state stack. When verifier reaches BPF_EXIT,
it pops the state from the stack and continues until it reaches BPF_EXIT again.
For program:
1: bpf_mov r1, xxx
2: if (r1 == 0) goto 5
3: bpf_mov r0, 1
4: goto 6
5: bpf_mov r0, 2
6: bpf_exit
The verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
then it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and will continue: 5, 6
This way it walks all possible paths through the program and checks all
possible values of registers. While doing so, it checks for:
- invalid instructions
- uninitialized register access
- uninitialized stack access
- misaligned stack access
- out of range stack access
- invalid calling convention
- instruction encoding is not using reserved fields
Kernel subsystem configures the verifier with two callbacks:
- bool (*is_valid_access)(int off, int size, enum bpf_access_type type);
that provides information to the verifer which fields of 'ctx'
are accessible (remember 'ctx' is the first argument to eBPF program)
- const struct bpf_func_proto *(*get_func_proto)(enum bpf_func_id func_id);
returns argument constraints of kernel helper functions that eBPF program
may call, so that verifier can checks that R1-R5 types match the prototype

eBPF programs passed from userspace are using pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 instructions
to refer to process-local map_fd. Scan the program for such instructions and
if FDs are valid, convert them to 'struct bpf_map' pointers which will be used
by verifier to check access to maps in bpf_map_lookup/update() calls.
If program passes verifier, convert pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 into generic by dropping
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD flag.
Note that eBPF interpreter is generic and knows nothing about pseudo insns.

in native eBPF programs userspace is using pseudo BPF_CALL instructions
which encode one of 'enum bpf_func_id' inside insn->imm field.
Verifier checks that program using correct function arguments to given func_id.
If all checks passed, kernel needs to fixup BPF_CALL->imm fields by
replacing func_id with in-kernel function pointer.
eBPF interpreter just calls the function.
In-kernel eBPF users continue to use generic BPF_CALL.

eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user
process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF program is
a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically
determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute.
The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program:
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
const char *license)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.prog_type = prog_type,
.insns = ptr_to_u64(insns),
.insn_cnt = insn_cnt,
.license = ptr_to_u64(license),
};
return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string
that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only
Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd.
Use close(prog_fd) to unload the program.
User space tests and examples follow in the later patches

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel

The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:
- create a map with given type and attributes
fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
returns fd or negative error
- lookup key in a given map referenced by fd
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error
- create or update key/value pair in a given map
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
returns zero or negative error
- find and delete element by key in a given map

BPF syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on eBPF.
This patch introduces syscall with single command to create a map.
Next patch adds commands to access maps.
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.
Userspace example:
/* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes
* and returns map_fd on success.
* use close(map_fd) to delete the map
*/
int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size,
int value_size, int max_entries)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_type = map_type,
.key_size = key_size,
.value_size = value_size,
.max_entries = max_entries
};
return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

While using a MQ + NETEM setup, I had confirmation that the default
timer migration ( /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration ) is killing us.
Installing this on a receiver side of a TCP_STREAM test, (NIC has 8 TX
queues) :
EST="est 1sec 4sec"
for ETH in eth1
do
tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null
tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:1 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 6ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:2 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 8ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:3 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 10ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:4 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 12ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:5 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 14ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:6 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 16ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:7 $EST netem limit 80000 delay 18ms
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:8 $EST netem limit 90000 delay 20ms
done
We can see that timers get migrated into a single cpu, presumably idle
at the time timers are set up.
Then all qdisc dequeues run from this cpu and huge lock contention
happens. This single cpu is stuck in softirq mode and cannot dequeue
fast enough.
39.24% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
2.65% [kernel] [k] netem_enqueue
1.80% [kernel] [k] netem_dequeue
1.63% [kernel] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
1.45% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_bh
By pinning qdisc timers on the cpu running the qdisc, we respect proper
XPS setting and remove this lock contention.
5.84% [kernel] [k] netem_enqueue
4.83% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
2.92% [kernel] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
Current Qdiscs that benefit from this change are :

Tom Herbert says:
====================
net: Eliminate gso_send_check
gso_send_check presents a lot of complexity for what it is being used
for. It seems that there are only two cases where it might be effective:
TCP and UFO paths. In these cases, the gso_send_check function
initializes the TCP or UDP checksum respectively to the pseudo header
checksum so that the checksum computation is appropriately offloaded or
computed in the gso_segment functions. The gso_send_check functions
are only called from dev.c in skb_mac_gso_segment when ip_summed !=
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which seems very unlikely in TCP case). We can move
the logic of this into the respective gso_segment functions where the
checksum is initialized if ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
With the above cases handled, gso_send_check is no longer needed, so
we can remove all uses of it and the fields in the offload callbacks.
With this change, ip_summed in the skb should be preserved though all
the layers of gso_segment calls.
In follow-on patches, we may be able to remove the check setup code in
tcp_gso_segment if we can guarantee that ip_summed will always be
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (verify all paths and probably add an assert in
tcp_gro_segment).
Tested these patches by:
- netperf TCP_STREAM test with GSO enabled
- Forced ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with above
- Ran UDP_RR with 10000 request size over GRE tunnel. This exercised
UFO path.

The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and
UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo
header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related
gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed.

ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL should be
the common case, possibly always true when taking GSO path). After this

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"Here is a quick pull request primarily meant to address the deconfig
fallout from changing SCSI_NETLINK from being used via 'select' to

I applied a set of 5 patches written by Michal Marek, and then I
carefully audited all of the remaining config files, basically:
1) I scanned every arch config file, and if it mentioned CONFIG_INET
or CONFIG_UNIX, I made sure it had CONFIG_NET=y
2) After that, I scanned every arch config file, and if it did not
have CONFIG_NET=y I made sure it did not reference any networking
config options.
Finally, we have some late breaking wireless fixes in here from John
Linville and co"

- fix BPF_LD|ABS|IND from negative offsets:
make sure to sign extend lower 32 bits in 64-bit register
before calling C helpers from JITed code, otherwise 'int k'
argument of bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() function
will be added as large unsigned integer, causing packet size
check to trigger and abort the program.
It's worth noting that JITed code for 'A = A op K' will affect
upper 32 bits differently depending whether K is simm13 or not.
Since small constants are sign extended, whereas large constants
are stored in temp register and zero extended.
That is ok and we don't have to pay a penalty of sign extension
for every sethi, since all classic BPF instructions have 32-bit
semantics and we only need to set correct upper bits when
transitioning from JITed code into C.
- though instructions 'A &= 0' and 'A *= 0' are odd, JIT compiler
should not optimize them out
