arch: Use asm-generic/socket.h when possible

2019-02-03T19:17:30Z

Many architectures maintain an arch specific copy of the file even though there are no differences with the asm-generic one. Allow these architectures to use the generic one instead.

net: introduce SO_BINDTOIFINDEX sockopt

2019-01-17T22:55:51Z

This introduces a new generic SOL_SOCKET-level socket option called SO_BINDTOIFINDEX. It behaves similar to SO_BINDTODEVICE, but takes a network interface index as argument, rather than the network interface name. User-space often refers to network-interfaces via their index, but has to temporarily resolve it to a name for a call into SO_BINDTODEVICE. This might pose problems when the network-device is renamed asynchronously by other parts of the system. When this happens, the SO_BINDTODEVICE might either fail, or worse, it might bind to the wrong device. In most cases user-space only ever operates on devices which they either manage themselves, or otherwise have a guarantee that the device name will not change (e.g., devices that are UP cannot be renamed). However, particularly in libraries this guarantee is non-obvious and it would be nice if that race-condition would simply not exist. It would make it easier for those libraries to operate even in situations where the device-name might change under the hood. A real use-case that we recently hit is trying to start the network stack early in the initrd but make it survive into the real system. Existing distributions rename network-interfaces during the transition from initrd into the real system. This, obviously, cannot affect devices that are up and running (unless you also consider moving them between network-namespaces). However, the network manager now has to make sure its management engine for dormant devices will not run in parallel to these renames. Particularly, when you offload operations like DHCP into separate processes, these might setup their sockets early, and thus have to resolve the device-name possibly running into this race-condition. By avoiding a call to resolve the device-name, we no longer depend on the name and can run network setup of dormant devices in parallel to the transition off the initrd. The SO_BINDTOIFINDEX ioctl plugs this race. Reviewed-by: Tom Gundersen Signed-off-by: David Herrmann Acked-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add a new socket option for a future transmit time.

2018-07-04T13:30:27Z

This patch introduces SO_TXTIME. User space enables this option in order to pass a desired future transmit time in a CMSG when calling sendmsg(2). The argument to this socket option is a 8-bytes long struct provided by the uapi header net_tstamp.h defined as: struct sock_txtime { clockid_t clockid; u32 flags; }; Note that new fields were added to struct sock by filling a 2-bytes hole found in the struct. For that reason, neither the struct size or number of cachelines were altered. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54Z

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

sock: add SOCK_ZEROCOPY sockopt

2017-08-04T04:37:29Z

The send call ignores unknown flags. Legacy applications may already unwittingly pass MSG_ZEROCOPY. Continue to ignore this flag unless a socket opts in to zerocopy. Introduce socket option SO_ZEROCOPY to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY processing. Processes can also query this socket option to detect kernel support for the feature. Older kernels will return ENOPROTOOPT.

net: introduce SO_PEERGROUPS getsockopt

2017-06-21T15:38:41Z

This adds the new getsockopt(2) option SO_PEERGROUPS on SOL_SOCKET to retrieve the auxiliary groups of the remote peer. It is designed to naturally extend SO_PEERCRED. That is, the underlying data is from the same credentials. Regarding its syntax, it is based on SO_PEERSEC. That is, if the provided buffer is too small, ERANGE is returned and @optlen is updated. Otherwise, the information is copied, @optlen is set to the actual size, and 0 is returned. While SO_PEERCRED (and thus `struct ucred') already returns the primary group, it lacks the auxiliary group vector. However, nearly all access controls (including kernel side VFS and SYSVIPC, but also user-space polkit, DBus, ...) consider the entire set of groups, rather than just the primary group. But this is currently not possible with pure SO_PEERCRED. Instead, user-space has to work around this and query the system database for the auxiliary groups of a UID retrieved via SO_PEERCRED. Unfortunately, there is no race-free way to query the auxiliary groups of the PID/UID retrieved via SO_PEERCRED. Hence, the current user-space solution is to use getgrouplist(3p), which itself falls back to NSS and whatever is configured in nsswitch.conf(3). This effectively checks which groups we *would* assign to the user if it logged in *now*. On normal systems it is as easy as reading /etc/group, but with NSS it can resort to quering network databases (eg., LDAP), using IPC or network communication. Long story short: Whenever we want to use auxiliary groups for access checks on IPC, we need further IPC to talk to the user/group databases, rather than just relying on SO_PEERCRED and the incoming socket. This is unfortunate, and might even result in dead-locks if the database query uses the same IPC as the original request. So far, those recursions / dead-locks have been avoided by using primitive IPC for all crucial NSS modules. However, we want to avoid re-inventing the wheel for each NSS module that might be involved in user/group queries. Hence, we would preferably make DBus (and other IPC that supports access-management based on groups) work without resorting to the user/group database. This new SO_PEERGROUPS ioctl would allow us to make dbus-daemon work without ever calling into NSS.

net: Introduce SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID

2017-03-25T03:49:31Z

This socket option returns the NAPI ID associated with the queue on which the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which they are received. If the NAPI ID actually represents a sender_cpu then the value is ignored and 0 is returned.

sock: introduce SO_MEMINFO getsockopt

2017-03-22T18:18:58Z

Allows reading of SK_MEMINFO_VARS via socket option. This way an application can get all meminfo related information in single socket option call instead of multiple calls. Adds helper function, sk_get_meminfo(), and uses that for both getsockopt and sock_diag_put_meminfo(). Suggested by Eric Dumazet.
