Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

     Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
     twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

   - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
     queue.

     Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
     but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

     Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
     reordering.

   - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

   - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
     did for Rx skbs).

   - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

   - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
     sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

   - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
     packets.

   - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
     pressure, improving the Rx performance.

   - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

   - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
     (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
     fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
     cgroups.

   - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

   - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
     RTT.

   - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
     unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
     connection RTT is low.

   - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

   - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

   - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
     5837).

   - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

   - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

   - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

   - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

   - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
     from Kees.

   - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

   - Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

   - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

   - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
     computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

  Driver API:

   - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

   - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
     defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
     100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

   - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
     zl3073x).

   - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
     IPsec and performs RSS.

   - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
     default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

   - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

   - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
     duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

   - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

   - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

   - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
     and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
     operations for PHY timestamping.

   - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
     reading the Rx ring count.

   - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

<id>urn:sha1:6173c1d6208c146af134e4a1d46f103507d60534</id>
<content type='text'>
Add statistics per-CPU broken down by context and various timing windows
for the time taken to acquire an rqspinlock. Cases where all
acquisitions fit into the 10ms window are skipped from printing,
otherwise the full breakdown is displayed when printing the summary.
This allows capturing precisely the number of times outlier attempts
happened for a given lock in a given context.

A critical detail is that time is captured regardless of success or
failure, which is important to capture events for failed but long
waiting timeout attempts.

Output:

[   64.279459] rqspinlock acquisition latency histogram (ms):
[   64.279472]  cpu1: total 528426 (normal 526559, nmi 1867)

Adding test that attaches kprobe/kretprobe multi and verifies the
ORC stacktrace matches expected functions.

Adding bpf_testmod_stacktrace_test function to bpf_testmod kernel
module which is called through several functions so we get reliable
call path for stacktrace.

The test is only for ORC unwinder to keep it simple.

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from
"struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the
compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts
that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch.
