ASoC: Fixes for v5.18

A collection of fixes that came in since the merge window, plus one new
device ID for an x86 laptop. Nothing that really stands out with
particularly big impact outside of the affected device.

Merge tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

Core
----

- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.

- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.

- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.

- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

BPF
---

- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.

- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.

- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.

- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.

- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).

- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.

- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.

- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

Protocols
---------

- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.

- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.

- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY

- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

Driver API
----------

- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.

- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.

- Allow configuring completion queue event size.

- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).

- Prepare libbpf for upcoming v1.0 release by cleaning up APIs,
creating new, extensible ones where missing and deprecating those
to be removed.

Protocols
---------

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- notify user space about long "come back in N" AP responses,
allow it to react to such temporary rejections
- allow non-standard VHT MCS 10/11 rates
- use coarse time in airtime fairness code to save CPU cycles

- Bluetooth:
- rework of HCI command execution serialization to use a common
queue and work struct, and improve handling errors reported in
the middle of a batch of commands
- rework HCI event handling to use skb_pull_data, avoiding packet
parsing pitfalls
- support AOSP Bluetooth Quality Report

- SMC:
- support net namespaces, following the RDMA model
- improve connection establishment latency by pre-clearing buffers
- introduce TCP ULP for automatic redirection to SMC

- Multi-Path TCP:
- support ioctls: SIOCINQ, OUTQ, and OUTQNSD
- support socket options: IP_TOS, IP_FREEBIND, IP_TRANSPARENT,
IPV6_FREEBIND, and IPV6_TRANSPARENT, TCP_CORK and TCP_NODELAY
- support cmsgs: TCP_INQ
- improvements in the data scheduler (assigning data to subflows)
- support fastclose option (quick shutdown of the full MPTCP
connection, similar to TCP RST in regular TCP)

- MCTP (Management Component Transport) over serial, as defined by
DMTF spec DSP0253 - "MCTP Serial Transport Binding".

Driver API
----------

- Support timestamping on bond interfaces in active/passive mode.

- Introduce generic phylink link mode validation for drivers which
don't have any quirks and where MAC capability bits fully express
what's supported. Allow PCS layer to participate in the validation.
Convert a number of drivers.

- Add support to set/get size of buffers on the Rx rings and size of
the tx copybreak buffer via ethtool.

- Support offloading TC actions as first-class citizens rather than
only as attributes of filters, improve sharing and device resource
utilization.

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- support forwarding offload (ndo_fill_forward_path)
- support for background radar detection hardware
- SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side

New hardware / drivers

Johannes Berg says:

====================
This time we have:
* ndo_fill_forward_path support in mac80211, to let drivers use it
* association comeback notification for userspace, to be able
to react more sensibly to long delays
* support for background radar detection hardware in some chipsets
* SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side
* more logging if we find problems with HT/VHT/HE
* various cleanups and minor fixes
