Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of
#ifdefs and all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or
another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these
cleanups going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this
pull request, just cleanups.
Thanks a lot to the Uniontech and Huawei folks for doing some of this
nasty work"

"Core
----
- Support TCPv6 segmentation offload with super-segments larger than
64k bytes using the IPv6 Jumbogram extension header (AKA BIG TCP).
- Generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists, instead of
per-socket lists.
- Add a netdev statistic for packets dropped due to L2 address
mismatch (rx_otherhost_dropped).
- Continue work annotating skb drop reasons.
- Accept alternative netdev names (ALT_IFNAME) in more netlink
requests.
- Add VLAN support for AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW GSO.
- Allow receiving skb mark from the socket as a cmsg.
- Enable memcg accounting for veth queues, sysctl tables and IPv6.
BPF
---
- Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs).
- Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments.
- Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced
objects in BPF maps.
- Add support for BPF link iterator.
- Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map.
- Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.
- Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for
dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.

This moves the namespace sysctls to its own file as part of the
kernel/sysctl.c spring cleaning
Since we have now removed all sysctls for "fs", we now have to declare
it on the filesystem code, we do that using the new helper, which
reduces boiler plate code.
We rename init_fs_shared_sysctls() to init_fs_sysctls() to reflect that
now fs/sysctls.c is taking on the burden of being the first to register
the base directory as well.
Lastly, since init code will load in the order in which we link it we
have to move the sysctl code to be linked in early, so that its early
init routine runs prior to other fs code. This way, other filesystem
code can register their own sysctls using the helpers after this:
* register_sysctl_init()
* register_sysctl()

Patch series "sysctl: add and use base directory declarer and
registration helper".
In this patch series we start addressing base directories, and so we
start with the "fs" sysctls. The end goal is we end up completely
moving all "fs" sysctl knobs out from kernel/sysctl.
This patch (of 6):
Add a set of helpers which can be used to declare and register base
directory sysctls on their own. We do this so we can later move each of
the base sysctl directories like "fs", "kernel", etc, to their own
respective files instead of shoving the declarations and registrations
all on kernel/sysctl.c. The lazy approach has caught up and with this,
we just end up extending the list of base directories / sysctls on one
file and this makes maintenance difficult due to merge conflicts from
many developers.
The declarations are used first by kernel/sysctl.c for registration its
own base which over time we'll try to clean up. It will be used in the
next patch to demonstrate how to cleanly deal with base sysctl
directories.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move sysctls which are shared between filesystems into a common file
outside of kernel/sysctl.c.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

We can create the sysctl dynamically on early init for fs stat to help
with this clutter. This dusts off the fs stat syctls knobs and puts
them into where they are declared.

Patch series "sysctl: 4th set of kernel/sysctl cleanups".
This is slimming down the fs uses of kernel/sysctl.c to the point that
the next step is to just get rid of the fs base directory for it and
move that elsehwere, so that next patch series starts dealing with that
to demo how we can end up cleaning up a full base directory from
kernel/sysctl.c, one at a time.
This patch (of 9):
kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
So move the inode sysctls to its own file. Since we are no longer using
this outside of fs/ remove the extern declaration of its respective proc
helper.
We use early_initcall() as it is the earliest we can use.
