Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

David S. Miller 36f877804c Merge branch 'packet-sampling-offload'
Jiri Pirko says:

====================
Add support for offloading packet-sampling

Yotam says:

The first patch introduces the psample module, a netlink channel dedicated
to packet sampling implemented using generic netlink. This module provides
a generic way for kernel modules to sample packets, while not being tied
to any specific subsystem like NFLOG.

The second patch adds the sample tc action, which uses psample to randomly
sample packets that match a classifier. The user can configure the psample
group number, the sampling rate and the packet's truncation (to save
kernel-user traffic).

The last two patches add the support for offloading the matchall-sample
tc command in the mlxsw driver, for ingress qdiscs.

An example for psample usage can be found in the libpsample project at:
https://github.com/Mellanox/libpsample

v1->v2:
- Reword first patch's commit message
- Fix typo in comment in second patch
- Change order of tc_sample uapi enum to match convention
- Rename act_sample action callback tcf_sample -> tcf_sample_act

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
