The skb_mpls_push was not updating ethertype of an ethernet packet if
the packet was originally received from a non ARPHRD_ETHER device.

In the below OVS data path flow, since the device corresponding to
port 7 is an l3 device (ARPHRD_NONE) the skb_mpls_push function does
not update the ethertype of the packet even though the previous
push_eth action had added an ethernet header to the packet.

Pull y2038 cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "y2038 syscall implementation cleanups

  This is a series of cleanups for the y2038 work, mostly intended for
  namespace cleaning: the kernel defines the traditional time_t, timeval
  and timespec types that often lead to y2038-unsafe code. Even though
  the unsafe usage is mostly gone from the kernel, having the types and
  associated functions around means that we can still grow new users,
  and that we may be missing conversions to safe types that actually
  matter.

  There are still a number of driver specific patches needed to get the
  last users of these types removed, those have been submitted to the
  respective maintainers"

<title>udp: drop skb extensions before marking skb stateless</title>

<content type='text'>
Once udp stack has set the UDP_SKB_IS_STATELESS flag, later skb free
assumes all skb head state has been dropped already.

This will leak the extension memory in case the skb has extensions other
than the ipsec secpath, e.g. bridge nf data.

To fix this, set the UDP_SKB_IS_STATELESS flag only if we don't have
extensions or if the extension space can be free'd.

<content type='text'>
The 'timespec' type definition and helpers like ktime_to_timespec()
or timespec64_to_timespec() should no longer be used in the kernel so
we can remove them and avoid introducing y2038 issues in new code.

Change the socket code that needs to pass a timespec to user space for
backward compatibility to use __kernel_old_timespec instead.  This type
has the same layout but with a clearer defined name.

Slightly reformat tcp_recv_timestamp() for consistency after the removal
of timespec64_to_timespec().

skb_peek_tail() can be used without protection of a lock,
as spotted by KCSAN [1]

In order to avoid load-stearing, add a READ_ONCE()

Note that the corresponding WRITE_ONCE() are already there.

The only slightly tricky merge conflict was the netdevsim because the
mutex locking fix overlapped a lot of driver reload reorganization.

The rest were (relatively) trivial in nature.

Some paths call skb_queue_empty() without holding
the queue lock. We must use a barrier in order
to not let the compiler do strange things, and avoid
KCSAN splats.

Adding a barrier in skb_queue_empty() might be overkill,
I prefer adding a new helper to clearly identify
points where the callers might be lockless. This might
help us finding real bugs.

The corresponding WRITE_ONCE() should add zero cost
for current compilers.

<id>urn:sha1:55667441c84fa5e0911a0aac44fb059c15ba6da2</id>
<content type='text'>
UDP IPv6 packets auto flowlabels are using a 32bit secret
(static u32 hashrnd in net/core/flow_dissector.c) and
apply jhash() over fields known by the receivers.

Attackers can easily infer the 32bit secret and use this information
to identify a device and/or user, since this 32bit secret is only
set at boot time.

Really, using jhash() to generate cookies sent on the wire
is a serious security concern.

Trying to change the rol32(hash, 16) in ip6_make_flowlabel() would be
a dead end. Trying to periodically change the secret (like in sch_sfq.c)
could change paths taken in the network for long lived flows.

Let's switch to siphash, as we did in commit df453700e8d8
("inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash")

Using a cryptographically strong pseudo random function will solve this
privacy issue and more generally remove other weak points in the stack.

Packet schedulers using skb_get_hash_perturb() benefit from this change.
