====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains updates for your net-next tree,
they are:

1) Use kvfree() helper function from x_tables, from Eric Dumazet.

2) Remove extra timer from the conntrack ecache extension, use a
   workqueue instead to redeliver lost events to userspace instead,
   from Florian Westphal.

3) Removal of the ulog targets for ebtables and iptables. The nflog
   infrastructure superseded this almost 9 years ago, time to get rid
   of this code.

4) Replace the list of loggers by an array now that we can only have
   two possible non-overlapping logger flavours, ie. kernel ring buffer
   and netlink logging.

5) Move Eric Dumazet's log buffer code to nf_log to reuse it from
   all of the supported per-family loggers.

6) Consolidate nf_log_packet() as an unified interface for packet logging.
   After this patch, if the struct nf_loginfo is available, it explicitly
   selects the logger that is used.

7) Move ip and ip6 logging code from xt_LOG to the corresponding
   per-family loggers. Thus, x_tables and nf_tables share the same code
   for packet logging.

8) Add generic ARP packet logger, which is used by nf_tables. The
   format aims to be consistent with the output of xt_LOG.

9) Add generic bridge packet logger. Again, this is used by nf_tables
   and it routes the packets to the real family loggers. As a result,
   we get consistent logging format for the bridge family. The ebt_log
   logging code has been intentionally left in place not to break
   backward compatibility since the logging output differs from xt_LOG.

10) Update nft_log to explicitly request the required family logger when
    needed.

11) Finish nft_log so it supports arp, ip, ip6, bridge and inet families.
    Allowing selection between netlink and kernel buffer ring logging.

12) Several fixes coming after the netfilter core logging changes spotted
    by robots.

13) Use IS_ENABLED() macros whenever possible in the netfilter tree,
    from Duan Jiong.

14) Removal of a couple of unnecessary branch before kfree, from Fabian
    Frederick.

Hans de Goede b4e05923f9 Input: add support for Wacom protocol 4 serial tablets
Recent version of xf86-input-wacom no longer support directly accessing
serial tablets. Instead xf86-input-wacom now expects all wacom tablets to
be driven by the kernel and to show up as evdev devices.

This has caused old serial Wacom tablets to stop working for people who still
have such tablets. Julian Squires has written a serio input driver to fix this:
https://github.com/tokenrove/wacom-serial-iv

This is a cleaned up version of this driver with improved Graphire support
(I own an old Graphire myself).

Kees Cook c2e1f2e30d seccomp: implement SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC
Applying restrictive seccomp filter programs to large or diverse
codebases often requires handling threads which may be started early in
the process lifetime (e.g., by code that is linked in). While it is
possible to apply permissive programs prior to process start up, it is
difficult to further restrict the kernel ABI to those threads after that
point.

This change adds a new seccomp syscall flag to SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER for
synchronizing thread group seccomp filters at filter installation time.

When calling seccomp(SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC,
filter) an attempt will be made to synchronize all threads in current's
threadgroup to its new seccomp filter program. This is possible iff all
threads are using a filter that is an ancestor to the filter current is
attempting to synchronize to. NULL filters (where the task is running as
SECCOMP_MODE_NONE) are also treated as ancestors allowing threads to be
transitioned into SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER. If prctrl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS,
...) has been set on the calling thread, no_new_privs will be set for
all synchronized threads too. On success, 0 is returned. On failure,
the pid of one of the failing threads will be returned and no filters
will have been applied.

The race conditions against another thread are:
- requesting TSYNC (already handled by sighand lock)
- performing a clone (already handled by sighand lock)
- changing its filter (already handled by sighand lock)
- calling exec (handled by cred_guard_mutex)
The clone case is assisted by the fact that new threads will have their
seccomp state duplicated from their parent before appearing on the tasklist.

Holding cred_guard_mutex means that seccomp filters cannot be assigned
while in the middle of another thread's exec (potentially bypassing
no_new_privs or similar). The call to de_thread() may kill threads waiting
for the mutex.

Changes across threads to the filter pointer includes a barrier.

Based on patches by Will Drewry.

Kees Cook 48dc92b9fc seccomp: add "seccomp" syscall
This adds the new "seccomp" syscall with both an "operation" and "flags"
parameter for future expansion. The third argument is a pointer value,
used with the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER operation. Currently, flags must
be 0. This is functionally equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...).

In addition to the TSYNC flag later in this patch series, there is a
non-zero chance that this syscall could be used for configuring a fixed
argument area for seccomp-tracer-aware processes to pass syscall arguments
in the future. Hence, the use of "seccomp" not simply "seccomp_add_filter"
for this syscall. Additionally, this syscall uses operation, flags,
and user pointer for arguments because strictly passing arguments via
a user pointer would mean seccomp itself would be unable to trivially
filter the seccomp syscall itself.

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE aef9a7bd9b serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers
Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers.

Serial devices are used as not only message communication devices but control
or sending communication devices. For the latter uses, normally small data
will be exchanged, so user applications want to receive data unit as soon as
possible for real-time tendency. If we have a sensor which sends a 1 byte data
each time and must control a device based on the sensor feedback, the RX
interrupt should be triggered for each data.

According to HW specification of serial UART devices, RX interrupt trigger
can be changed, but the trigger is hard-coded. For example, RX interrupt trigger
in 16550A can be set to 1, 4, 8, or 14 bytes for HW, but current driver sets
the trigger to only 8bytes.

This patch makes some devices change RX interrupt trigger from userland.

<How to use>
- Read current setting
 # cat /sys/class/tty/ttyS0/rx_trig_bytes
 8

- Write user setting
 # echo 1 > /sys/class/tty/ttyS0/rx_trig_bytes
 # cat /sys/class/tty/ttyS0/rx_trig_bytes
 1

<Support uart devices>
- 16550A and Tegra (1, 4, 8, or 14 bytes)
- 16650V2 (8, 16, 24, or 28 bytes)
- 16654 (8, 16, 56, or 60 bytes)
- 16750 (1, 16, 32, or 56 bytes)

<Change log>
Changes in V9:
 - Use attr_group instead of dev_spec_attr_group of uart_port structure

Changes in V8:
 - Divide this patch from V7's patch based on Greg's comment

Changes in V7:
 - Add Documentation
 - Change I/F name from rx_int_trig to rx_trig_bytes because the name
   rx_int_trig is hard to understand how users specify the value

Changes in V6:
 - Move FCR_RX_TRIG_* definition in 8250.h to include/uapi/linux/serial_reg.h,
   rename those to UART_FCR_R_TRIG_*, and use UART_FCR_TRIGGER_MASK to
   UART_FCR_R_TRIG_BITS()
 - Change following function names:
    convert_fcr2val() => fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes()
    convert_val2rxtrig() => bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig()
 - Fix typo in serial8250_do_set_termios()
 - Delete the verbose error message pr_info() in bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig()
 - Rename *rx_int_trig/rx_trig* to *rxtrig* for several functions or variables
   (but UI remains rx_int_trig)
 - Change the meaningless variable name 'val' to 'bytes' following functions:
    fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes(), bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig(), do_set_rxtrig(),
    do_serial8250_set_rxtrig(), and serial8250_set_attr_rxtrig()
 - Use up->fcr in order to get rxtrig_bytes instead of rx_trig_raw in
   fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes()
 - Use conf_type->rxtrig_bytes[0] instead of switch statement for support check
   in register_dev_spec_attr_grp()
 - Delete the checking whether a user changed FCR or not when minimum buffer
   is needed in serial8250_do_set_termios()

Changes in V5.1:
 - Fix FCR_RX_TRIG_MAX_STATE definition

Changes in V5:
 - Support Tegra, 16650V2, 16654, and 16750
 - Store default FCR value to up->fcr when the port is first created
 - Add rx_trig_byte[] in uart_config[] for each device and use rx_trig_byte[]
   in convert_fcr2val() and convert_val2rxtrig()

Changes in V4:
 - Introduce fifo_bug flag in uart_8250_port structure
   This is enabled only when parity is enabled and UART_BUG_PARITY is enabled
   for up->bugs. If this flag is enabled, user cannot set RX trigger.
 - Return -EOPNOTSUPP when it does not support device at convert_fcr2val() and
   at convert_val2rxtrig()
 - Set the nearest lower RX trigger when users input a meaningless value at
   convert_val2rxtrig()
 - Check whether p->fcr is existing at serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos()
 - Set fcr = up->fcr in the begging of serial8250_do_set_termios()

Changes in V3:
 - Change I/F from ioctl(2) to sysfs(rx_int_trig)

Changed in V2:
 - Use _IOW for TIOCSFIFORTRIG definition
 - Pass the interrupt trigger value itself

Laurent Pinchart d52e238136 [media] v4l: Support extending the v4l2_pix_format structure
The v4l2_pix_format structure has no reserved field. It is embedded in
the v4l2_framebuffer structure which has no reserved fields either, and
in the v4l2_format structure which has reserved fields that were not
previously required to be zeroed out by applications.

To allow extending v4l2_pix_format, inline it in the v4l2_framebuffer
structure, and use the priv field as a magic value to indicate that the
application has set all v4l2_pix_format extended fields and zeroed all
reserved fields following the v4l2_pix_format field in the v4l2_format
structure.

The availability of this API extension is reported to userspace through
the new V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT capability flag. Just checking that the
priv field is still set to the magic value at [GS]_FMT return wouldn't
be enough, as older kernels don't zero the priv field on return.

To simplify the internal API towards drivers zero the extended fields
and set the priv field to the magic value for applications not aware of
the extensions.

Hans Verkuil 7e6a682107 [media] videodev2.h: add initial support for compound controls
Compound controls are controls that can be used for compound and array
types. This allows for more compound data structures to be used with the
control framework.

The existing V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag will only enumerate non-compound
controls, so a new V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND flag is added to enumerate
compound controls. Set both flags to enumerate any control (compound or not).

Compound control types will start at V4L2_CTRL_COMPOUND_TYPES. In addition, any
control that uses the new 'ptr' field or the existing 'string' field will have
flag V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_PAYLOAD set.

While not strictly necessary, adding that flag makes life for applications
a lot simpler. If the flag is not set, then the control value is set
through the value or value64 fields of struct v4l2_ext_control, otherwise
a pointer points to the value.

Geir Ola Vaagland 6b3fd5f3a2 net: sctp: implement rfc6458, 8.1.31. SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO support
This patch implements section 8.1.31. of RFC6458, which adds support
for setting/retrieving SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO:

  Applications that wish to use the sendto() system call may wish
  to specify a default set of parameters that would normally be
  supplied through the inclusion of ancillary data. This socket
  option allows such an application to set the default sctp_sndinfo
  structure. The application that wishes to use this socket option
  simply passes the sctp_sndinfo structure (defined in Section 5.3.4)
  to this call. The input parameters accepted by this call include
  snd_sid, snd_flags, snd_ppid, and snd_context. The snd_flags
  parameter is composed of a bitwise OR of SCTP_UNORDERED, SCTP_EOF,
  and SCTP_SENDALL. The snd_assoc_id field specifies the association
  to which to apply the parameters. For a one-to-many style socket,
  any of the predefined constants are also allowed in this field.
  The field is ignored for one-to-one style sockets.

Tom Gundersen 685343fc3b net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
Based on a patch by David Herrmann.

The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
  NET_NAME_ENUM:
    The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated
    suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may
    be reused and unpredictable.
  NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
    The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
    that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
    given device. Examples include statically created devices like
    the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties
    (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names
    depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the
    existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE.
  NET_NAME_USER:
    The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup.
  NET_NAME_RENAMED:
    The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set,
    it cannot change again.
  NET_NAME_UNKNOWN:
    This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet
    categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather
    -EINVAL is returned.

The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As
a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay
the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when
attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should
not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local
admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name.

If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace
already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The
main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently
have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such
names NET_NAME_USER.

If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we
most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when
third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could
be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A
typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the
real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before
the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To
solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled
NET_NAME_RENAMED.

In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a
way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when
the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on
the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include
statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties
of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided
names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE.
We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface
naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information
necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not
be exposed to userspace.

The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has
given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of
discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.

Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has
not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing
us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit.

Nikita Edward Baruzdin 4b9e1bab12 can: netlink: Add CAN_CTRLMODE_PRESUME_ACK flag
Most CAN controllers have a support for ignoring ACK absence. Some of
them refer to this feature as a self test mode (e. g. SJA1000) and some
include it as a part of a loopback mode (e. g. MCP2510).

Setting the introduced flag via netlink should make CAN controller
perform a successful transmission, even if there is no acknowledgement
(dominant ACK bit) received.

Jiri Pirko bc91b0f07a ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modes
This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far
two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for
NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link
local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up,
monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it.

One more use-case by Dan Williams:
<quote>
WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the
device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses
when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND.  The kernel cannot generate the correct LL
address for two reasons:

1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address,
or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware.  Thus the EUI64 and
the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong.  The real LL
address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary
commands.

2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from
kernel assignments.  Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL
address of the PPP interface and its peer.  But the kernel has already
assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface.

So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign
the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust.
