Linus Torvalds dbe69e4337 Networking changes for 5.14.
Core:
 
  - BPF:
    - add syscall program type and libbpf support for generating
      instructions and bindings for in-kernel BPF loaders (BPF loaders
      for BPF), this is a stepping stone for signed BPF programs
    - infrastructure to migrate TCP child sockets from one listener
      to another in the same reuseport group/map to improve flexibility
      of service hand-off/restart
    - add broadcast support to XDP redirect
 
  - allow bypass of the lockless qdisc to improving performance
    (for pktgen: +23% with one thread, +44% with 2 threads)
 
  - add a simpler version of "DO_ONCE()" which does not require
    jump labels, intended for slow-path usage
 
  - virtio/vsock: introduce SOCK_SEQPACKET support
 
  - add getsocketopt to retrieve netns cookie
 
  - ip: treat lowest address of a IPv4 subnet as ordinary unicast address
        allowing reclaiming of precious IPv4 addresses
 
  - ipv6: use prandom_u32() for ID generation
 
  - ip: add support for more flexible field selection for hashing
        across multi-path routes (w/ offload to mlxsw)
 
  - icmp: add support for extended RFC 8335 PROBE (ping)
 
  - seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT46 behavior
 
  - mptcp:
     - DSS checksum support (RFC 8684) to detect middlebox meddling
     - support Connection-time 'C' flag
     - time stamping support
 
  - sctp: packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (RFC 8899)
 
  - xfrm: speed up state addition with seq set
 
  - WiFi:
     - hidden AP discovery on 6 GHz and other HE 6 GHz improvements
     - aggregation handling improvements for some drivers
     - minstrel improvements for no-ack frames
     - deferred rate control for TXQs to improve reaction times
     - switch from round robin to virtual time-based airtime scheduler
 
  - add trace points:
     - tcp checksum errors
     - openvswitch - action execution, upcalls
     - socket errors via sk_error_report
 
 Device APIs:
 
  - devlink: add rate API for hierarchical control of max egress rate
             of virtual devices (VFs, SFs etc.)
 
  - don't require RCU read lock to be held around BPF hooks
    in NAPI context
 
  - page_pool: generic buffer recycling
 
 New hardware/drivers:
 
  - mobile:
     - iosm: PCIe Driver for Intel M.2 Modem
     - support for Qualcomm MSM8998 (ipa)
 
  - WiFi: Qualcomm QCN9074 and WCN6855 PCI devices
 
  - sparx5: Microchip SparX-5 family of Enterprise Ethernet switches
 
  - Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet (control NIC of the DPU)
 
  - NXP SJA1110 Automotive Ethernet 10-port switch
 
  - Qualcomm QCA8327 switch support (qca8k)
 
  - Mikrotik 10/25G NIC (atl1c)
 
 Driver changes:
 
  - ACPI support for some MDIO, MAC and PHY devices from Marvell and NXP
    (our first foray into MAC/PHY description via ACPI)
 
  - HW timestamping (PTP) support: bnxt_en, ice, sja1105, hns3, tja11xx
 
  - Mellanox/Nvidia NIC (mlx5)
    - NIC VF offload of L2 bridging
    - support IRQ distribution to Sub-functions
 
  - Marvell (prestera):
     - add flower and match all
     - devlink trap
     - link aggregation
 
  - Netronome (nfp): connection tracking offload
 
  - Intel 1GE (igc): add AF_XDP support
 
  - Marvell DPU (octeontx2): ingress ratelimit offload
 
  - Google vNIC (gve): new ring/descriptor format support
 
  - Qualcomm mobile (rmnet & ipa): inline checksum offload support
 
  - MediaTek WiFi (mt76)
     - mt7915 MSI support
     - mt7915 Tx status reporting
     - mt7915 thermal sensors support
     - mt7921 decapsulation offload
     - mt7921 enable runtime pm and deep sleep
 
  - Realtek WiFi (rtw88)
     - beacon filter support
     - Tx antenna path diversity support
     - firmware crash information via devcoredump
 
  - Qualcomm 60GHz WiFi (wcn36xx)
     - Wake-on-WLAN support with magic packets and GTK rekeying
 
  - Micrel PHY (ksz886x/ksz8081): add cable test support
