- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there

git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)

namespaces support:
- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)
perf trace enhancements:
- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

This patch sorts out an asymmetry in deletions. Currently, table and set
deletion commands come with an implicit content flush on deletion.
However, chain deletion results in -EBUSY if there is content in this
chain, so no implicit flush happens. So you have to send a flush command
in first place to delete chains, this is inconsistent and it can be
annoying in terms of user experience.
This patch uses the new NLM_F_NONREC flag to request non-recursive chain
deletion, ie. if the chain to be removed contains rules, then this
returns EBUSY. This problem was discussed during the NFWS'17 in Faro,
Portugal. In iptables, you hit -EBUSY if you try to delete a chain that
contains rules, so you have to flush first before you can remove
anything. Since iptables-compat uses the nf_tables netlink interface, it
has to use the NLM_F_NONREC flag from userspace to retain the original
iptables semantics, ie. bail out on removing chains that contain rules.

Bail out if user requests non-recursive deletion for tables and sets.
This new flags tells nf_tables netlink interface to reject deletions if
tables and sets have content.
Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
|

In the last NFWS in Faro, Portugal, we discussed that netlink is lacking
the semantics to request non recursive deletions, ie. do not delete an
object iff it has child objects that hang from this parent object that
the user requests to be deleted.
We need this new flag to solve a problem for the iptables-compat
backward compatibility utility, that runs iptables commands using the
existing nf_tables netlink interface. Specifically, custom chains in
iptables cannot be deleted if there are rules in it, however, nf_tables
allows to remove any chain that is populated with content. To sort out
this asymmetry, iptables-compat userspace sets this new NLM_F_NONREC
flag to obtain the same semantics that iptables provides.
This new flag should only be used for deletion requests. Note this new
flag value overlaps with the existing:
* NLM_F_ROOT for get requests.
* NLM_F_REPLACE for new requests.
However, those flags should not ever be used in deletion requests.

This patch adds a new feature to hashlimit that allows matching on the
current packet/byte rate without rate limiting. This can be enabled
with a new flag --hashlimit-rate-match. The match returns true if the
current rate of packets is above/below the user specified value.
The main difference between the existing algorithm and the new one is
that the existing algorithm rate-limits the flow whereas the new
algorithm does not. Instead it *classifies* the flow based on whether
it is above or below a certain rate. I will demonstrate this with an
example below. Let us assume this rule:
iptables -A INPUT -m hashlimit --hashlimit-above 10/s -j new_chain
If the packet rate is 15/s, the existing algorithm would ACCEPT 10
packets every second and send 5 packets to "new_chain".
But with the new algorithm, as long as the rate of 15/s is sustained,
all packets will continue to match and every packet is sent to new_chain.
This new functionality will let us classify different flows based on
their current rate, so that further decisions can be made on them based on
what the current rate is.
This is how the new algorithm works:
We divide time into intervals of 1 (sec/min/hour) as specified by
the user. We keep track of the number of packets/bytes processed in the
current interval. After each interval we reset the counter to 0.
When we receive a packet for match, we look at the packet rate
during the current interval and the previous interval to make a
decision:
if [ prev_rate < user and cur_rate < user ]
return Below
else
return Above
Where cur_rate is the number of packets/bytes seen in the current
interval, prev is the number of packets/bytes seen in the previous
interval and 'user' is the rate specified by the user.
We also provide flexibility to the user for choosing the time
interval using the option --hashilmit-interval. For example the user can
keep a low rate like x/hour but still keep the interval as small as 1
second.
To preserve backwards compatibility we have to add this feature in a new
revision, so I've created revision 3 for hashlimit. The two new options
we add are:
--hashlimit-rate-match
--hashlimit-rate-interval
I have updated the help text to add these new options. Also added a few
tests for the new options.

nfp: refactor app init, and minor flower fixes
This series is a part 2 to what went into net as a simpler fix.
In net we simply moved when existing callbacks are invoked to
ensure flower app does not still use representors when lower
netdev has already been destroyed. In this series we add a
callback to notify apps when vNIC netdevs are fully initialized
and they are about to be destroyed. This allows flower to spawn
representors at the right time, while keeping the start/stop
callbacks for what they are intended to be used - FW initialization
over control channel.
Patch 4 improves drop monitor interaction and patch 5 changes
the default Kconfig selection of flower offload. Patch 6 fixes
locking around representor updates which got lost in net-next.

When we moved to updating representors from a workqueue grabbing
the RTNL somehow got lost in the process. Restore it, and make
sure RCU lock is not held while we are grabbing the RTNL. RCU
protects the representor table, so since we will be under RTNL
we can drop RCU lock as soon as we find the netdev pointer.
RTNL is needed for the dev_set_mtu() call.

We currently only have one app callback for vNIC creation
and destruction. This is insufficient, because some actions
have to be taken before netdev is registered, after it's
registered and after it's unregistered. Old callbacks
were really corresponding to alloc/free actions. Rename
them and add proper init/clean. Apps using representors
will be able to use new callbacks to manage lifetime of

mlxsw: Offloading GRE tunnels
Petr says:
This patch series introduces to mlxsw driver support for offloading
IP-in-IP tunnels in general, and for (subset of) GRE in particular.
This patchset supports two ways of configuring GRE:
- So called "hierarchical configuration", where the GRE device has a bound
dummy device, which is in a different VRF. The VRF with host traffic is
called "overlay", the one with encapsulated traffic is called "underlay".
- So called "flat configuration", where the GRE device doesn't have a bound
device, and overlay and underlay are both in the same VRF (possibly the
default one).
Two routes are then interesting: a route that directs traffic to a GRE
device (which would typically be in overlay VRF, but could be in another
one), and a local route for the tunnel's local address (in underlay).
Handling of these two route types is then introduced as patches to support,
respectively, IPv4 and IPv6 encapsulation and IPv4 decapsulation.
The encap and decap routes then reference a loopback device, a new type of
RIF introduced by this patchset for the specific use of offloading tunnels.
The encap and decap code is abstract with respect to the particulars of
individual L3 tunnel types. This patchset introduces support for GRE
tunnels in particular.
Limitations:
- Each tunnel needs to have a different local address (within a given VRF).
When two tunnels are used that are in conflict, FIB abort is triggered
and the driver ceases offloading FIBs. Full handling of such
configurations needs special setup in the hardware, such that the tunnels
that share an address are dispatched correctly according to their key (or
lack thereof). That's currently not implemented, and to keep things
deterministic, the driver triggers FIB abort.
- A next hop that uses an incompletely-specified tunnel (e.g. such that are
used for LWT) is not offloaded, but doesn't trigger FIB abort like the
above. If such routes end up being in a de facto conflict with other
tunnels, then if there already is an offload for that address, the
traffic for the conflicting tunnel will end up mismatching the
configuration of the offloaded tunnel, and thus gets to slow path through
an error trap.
- GRE checksumming and sequence numbers are not supported and TTL and TOS
need to be set to inherit. Tunnels with a different configuration are not
offloaded and their traffic is trapping to slow path.
Note in particular that TOS of inherit is not the default configuration
and needs to be explicitly specified when the tunnel is created.
- The only feature that is not graciously handled is that if a change is
made to the tunnel, e.g. through "ip tunnel change", such changes are not
reflected in the driver. There is currently no notification mechanism for
these changes. Introduction of this mechanism and its leverage in the
driver will be subject of follow-up work. For now this limitation can be
worked around by removing and re-adding the encap route.

struct mlxsw_sp_rif is a router-private structure, and therefore
everything related to it is as well: parameters, and derived RIF types
including loopbacks. IPIP module needs access to some details of
loopback interfaces, but exporting all the RIF shebang would create too
large an interface.
So instead export just the bare minimum necessary: accessors for RIF
index and underlay VRF ID.

These traps are generated for packets that fail checks for source IP,
encapsulation type, or GRE key. Trap these packets to CPU for follow-up
handling by the kernel, which will send ICMP destination unreachable
responses.

The local route that points at IPIP's underlay device (decap route) can
be present long before the GRE device. Thus when an encap route is
added, it's necessary to look inside the underlay FIB if the decap route
is already present. If so, the current trap offload needs to be
withdrawn and replaced with a decap offload.
