net_dim() is currently passed a struct dim_sample argument by value.
struct dim_sample is 24 bytes. Since this is greater 16 bytes, x86-64
passes it on the stack. All callers have already initialized dim_sample
on the stack, so passing it by value requires pushing a duplicated copy
to the stack. Either witing to the stack and immediately reading it, or
perhaps dereferencing addresses relative to the stack pointer in a chain
of push instructions, seems to perform quite poorly.
In a heavy TCP workload, mlx5e_handle_rx_dim() consumes 3% of CPU time,
94% of which is attributed to the first push instruction to copy
dim_sample on the stack for the call to net_dim():
// Call ktime_get()
0.26 |4ead2: call 4ead7 <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x47>
// Pass the address of struct dim in %rdi
|4ead7: lea 0x3d0(%rbx),%rdi
// Set dim_sample.pkt_ctr
|4eade: mov %r13d,0x8(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.byte_ctr
|4eae3: mov %r12d,0xc(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.event_ctr
0.15 |4eae8: mov %bp,0x10(%rsp)
// Duplicate dim_sample on the stack
94.16 |4eaed: push 0x10(%rsp)
2.79 |4eaf1: push 0x10(%rsp)
0.07 |4eaf5: push %rax
// Call net_dim()
0.21 |4eaf6: call 4eafb <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x6b>
To allow the caller to reuse the struct dim_sample already on the stack,
pass the struct dim_sample by reference to net_dim().

selftest: netconsole: Enhance selftest to validate userdata transmission
The netconsole selftest has been extended to cover userdata, a
significant subsystem within netconsole. This patch introduces support
for testing userdata by appending a key-value pair and verifying its
successful transmission via netconsole/netpoll.
Additionally, this patchseries addresses a pending change in the subnet
configuration for the selftest.

Extend netcons_basic selftest to verify the userdata functionality by:
1. Creating a test key in the userdata configfs directory
2. Writing a known value to the key
3. Validating the key-value pair appears in the captured network output
This ensures the userdata feature is properly tested during selftests.

UAPI: net/ethtool: Avoid thousands of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Small patch series aimed at fixing thousands of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
warnings by creating a new tagged struct within a flexible structure. We then
use this new struct type to fix problematic middle-flex-array declarations in
multiple composite structs, as well as to update the type of some variables in
various functions.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Change the type of the middle struct member currently causing trouble from
`struct ethtool_link_settings` to `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Additionally, update the type of some variables in various functions that
don't access the flexible-array member, changing them to the newly created
`struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`. These changes are needed because the
type of the conflicting middle members changed. So, those instances that
expect the type to be `struct ethtool_link_settings` should be adjusted to
the newly created type `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Also, adjust variable declarations to follow the reverse xmas tree
convention.
Fix 3338 of the following -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings:

Use the `__struct_group()` helper to create a new tagged
`struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`. This structure groups together
all the members of the flexible `struct ethtool_link_settings`
except the flexible array. As a result, the array is effectively
separated from the rest of the members without modifying the memory
layout of the flexible structure.
This new tagged struct will be used to fix problematic declarations
of middle-flex-arrays in composite structs[1].

Add noinline_for_tracing and apply it to tcp_drop_reason
This patchset introduces a new compiler annotation, noinline_for_tracing,
designed to prevent specific functions from being inlined to facilitate
tracing. In Patch #2, this annotation is applied to the tcp_drop_reason().
====================

Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Kernel functions that are not inlined can be easily hooked with BPF for
tracing. However, functions intended for tracing may still be inlined
unexpectedly. For example, in our case, after upgrading the compiler from
GCC 9 to GCC 11, the tcp_drop_reason() function was inlined, which broke
our monitoring tools. To prevent this, we need to ensure that the function
remains non-inlined.
The noinline_for_tracing annotation is introduced as a general solution for
preventing inlining of kernel functions that need to be traced. This
approach avoids the need for adding individual noinline comments to each
function and provides a more consistent way to maintain traceability.

Cell-index value is obtained from Device Tree and then used to calculate
the index for accessing arrays port_mfl[], mac_mfl[] and intr_mng[].
In case of broken DT due to any error cell-index can contain any value
and it is possible to go beyond the array boundaries which can lead
at least to memory corruption.

Currently, when cleaning up congestion control, we always call the
release regardless of whether it has been initialized. There is no
need to release when closing TCP_LISTEN and TCP_CLOSE (close
immediately after socket()).
In this case, tcp_cdg calls kfree(NULL) in release without causing
an exception, but for some customized ca, this could lead to
unexpected exceptions. We need to ensure that init and release are
called in pairs.
