net:socket: set msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name is passed as NULL in msghdr struct from userland.

2014-09-10T00:35:46Z

Linux manpage for recvmsg and sendmsg calls does not explicitly mention setting msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name passed set as NULL. When developers don't set msg_namelen member in msghdr, it might contain garbage value which will fail the validation check and sendmsg and recvmsg calls from kernel will return EINVAL. This will break old binaries and any code for which there is no access to source code. To fix this, we set msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is passed as NULL from userland.

net-timestamp: only report sw timestamp if reporting bit is set

2014-09-05T22:02:43Z

The timestamping API has separate bits for generating and reporting timestamps. A software timestamp should only be reported for a packet when the packet has the relevant generation flag (SKBTX_..) set and the socket has reporting bit SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE set. The second check was accidentally removed. Reinstitute the original behavior. Tested: Without this patch, Documentation/networking/txtimestamp reports timestamps regardless of whether SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is set. After the patch, it only reports them when the flag is set.

net-timestamp: sock_tx_timestamp() fix

2014-08-06T19:38:07Z

sock_tx_timestamp() should not ignore initial *tx_flags value, as TCP stack can store SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG in it. Also first argument (struct sock *) can be const.

net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreams

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP. The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet scheduler

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-timestamp: move timestamp flags out of sk_flags

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit. Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags. Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt. SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn ---- The u16 in sock can be moved into a 16-bit hole below sk_gso_max_segs, though that scatters tstamp fields throughout the struct. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-timestamp: extend SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data struct

2014-08-05T23:35:53Z

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined implicitly as timespec[3]. 1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and 2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to define the existing behavior. The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

2014-07-29T18:39:50Z

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software, hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the kernel. The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero. Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use SYSCALL_DEFINEx for sys_recv

2014-04-16T19:15:05Z

Make sys_recv a first class citizen by using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx macro. Besides being cleaner this will also generate meta data for the system call so tracing tools like ftrace or LTTng can resolve this system call. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
