Alyssa RossandJakub Kicinski 901a7d9e2f ipv6: default IPV6_SIT to m
This basically defaulted to m until recently, since IPV6 defaulted to
m.  Since IPV6 was changed to a boolean with a default of y, IPV6_SIT
started defaulting to built-in as well.  This results in a surprise
sit0 device by default for defconfig (and defconfig-derived config)
users at boot.  For me, this broke an (admittedly non-robust) script.
Preserve the behaviour of most configs by avoiding building this
module, that's probably overall seldom used compared to IPv6 as a
whole, into the kernel.

Fernando Fernandez ManceraandJakub Kicinski 309b905dee ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs
Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.

Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().

This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.

Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

Use the HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA256 library functions instead of
crypto_shash.  This is simpler and faster.  Pre-allocating per-CPU hash
transformation objects and descriptors is no longer needed, and a
microbenchmark on x86_64 shows seg6_hmac_compute() (with HMAC-SHA256)
dropping from ~2494 cycles to ~1978 cycles, a 20% improvement.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu ec8f7f4821 crypto: lib - make the sha1 library optional
Since the Linux RNG no longer uses sha1_transform(), the SHA-1 library
is no longer needed unconditionally.  Make it possible to build the
Linux kernel without the SHA-1 library by putting it behind a kconfig
option, and selecting this new option from the kconfig options that gate
the remaining users: CRYPTO_SHA1 for crypto/sha1_generic.c, BPF for
kernel/bpf/core.c, and IPV6 for net/ipv6/addrconf.c.

Unfortunately, since BPF is selected by NET, for now this can only make
a difference for kernels built without networking support.

Add support for the IOAM inline insertion (only for the host-to-host use case)
which is per-route configured with lightweight tunnels. The target is iproute2
and the patch is ready. It will be posted as soon as this patchset is merged.
Here is an overview:

$ ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap ioam6 trace type 0x800000 ns 1 size 12 dev eth0

This example configures an IOAM Pre-allocated Trace option attached to the
fc00::1/128 prefix. The IOAM namespace (ns) is 1, the size of the pre-allocated
trace data block is 12 octets (size) and only the first IOAM data (bit 0:
hop_limit + node id) is included in the trace (type) represented as a bitfield.

The reason why the in-transit (IPv6-in-IPv6 encapsulation) use case is not
implemented is explained on the patchset cover.

Eric BiggersandSteffen Klassert be01369859 esp, ah: modernize the crypto algorithm selections
The crypto algorithms selected by the ESP and AH kconfig options are
out-of-date with the guidance of RFC 8221, which lists the legacy
algorithms MD5 and DES as "MUST NOT" be implemented, and some more
modern algorithms like AES-GCM and HMAC-SHA256 as "MUST" be implemented.
But the options select the legacy algorithms, not the modern ones.

Therefore, modify these options to select the MUST algorithms --
and *only* the MUST algorithms.

Also improve the help text.

Note that other algorithms may still be explicitly enabled in the
kconfig, and the choice of which to actually use is still controlled by
userspace.  This change only modifies the list of algorithms for which
kernel support is guaranteed to be present.

  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

Mathieu XhonneuxandDaniel Borkmann fe94cc290f bpf: Add IPv6 Segment Routing helpers
The BPF seg6local hook should be powerful enough to enable users to
implement most of the use-cases one could think of. After some thinking,
we figured out that the following actions should be possible on a SRv6
packet, requiring 3 specific helpers :
    - bpf_lwt_seg6_store_bytes: Modify non-sensitive fields of the SRH
    - bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh: Allow to grow or shrink a SRH
                               (to add/delete TLVs)
    - bpf_lwt_seg6_action: Apply some SRv6 network programming actions
                           (specifically End.X, End.T, End.B6 and
                            End.B6.Encap)

The specifications of these helpers are provided in the patch (see
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h).

The non-sensitive fields of the SRH are the following : flags, tag and
TLVs. The other fields can not be modified, to maintain the SRH
integrity. Flags, tag and TLVs can easily be modified as their validity
can be checked afterwards via seg6_validate_srh. It is not allowed to
modify the segments directly. If one wants to add segments on the path,
he should stack a new SRH using the End.B6 action via
bpf_lwt_seg6_action.

Growing, shrinking or editing TLVs via the helpers will flag the SRH as
invalid, and it will have to be re-validated before re-entering the IPv6
layer. This flag is stored in a per-CPU buffer, along with the current
header length in bytes.

Storing the SRH len in bytes in the control block is mandatory when using
bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh. The Header Ext. Length field contains the SRH
len rounded to 8 bytes (a padding TLV can be inserted to ensure the 8-bytes
boundary). When adding/deleting TLVs within the BPF program, the SRH may
temporary be in an invalid state where its length cannot be rounded to 8
bytes without remainder, hence the need to store the length in bytes
separately. The caller of the BPF program can then ensure that the SRH's
final length is valid using this value. Again, a final SRH modified by a
BPF program which doesn’t respect the 8-bytes boundary will be discarded
as it will be considered as invalid.

Finally, a fourth helper is provided, bpf_lwt_push_encap, which is
available from the LWT BPF IN hook, but not from the seg6local BPF one.
This helper allows to encapsulate a Segment Routing Header (either with
a new outer IPv6 header, or by inlining it directly in the existing IPv6
header) into a non-SRv6 packet. This helper is required if we want to
offer the possibility to dynamically encapsulate a SRH for non-SRv6 packet,
as the BPF seg6local hook only works on traffic already containing a SRH.
This is the BPF equivalent of the seg6 LWT infrastructure, which achieves
the same purpose but with a static SRH per route.

These helpers require CONFIG_IPV6=y (and not =m).
