The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
multiple reasons:a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
mode (other than x32).b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
with the current kernel interface.
Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
safe user space.This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
b).The downside of this approach is that any user space program
that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
and new headers though.We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
not acceptable.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Commit 514ac99c64b "can: fix multiple delivery of a single CAN frame for
overlapping CAN filters" requires the skb->tstamp to be set to check for
identical CAN skbs.Without timestamping to be required by user space applications this timestamp
was not generated which lead to commit 36c01245eb8 "can: fix loss of CAN frames
in raw_rcv" - which forces the timestamp to be set in all CAN related skbuffs
by introducing several __net_timestamp() calls.This forces e.g. out of tree drivers which are not using alloc_can{,fd}_skb()
to add __net_timestamp() after skbuff creation to prevent the frame loss fixed
in mainline Linux.This patch removes the timestamp dependency and uses an atomic counter to
create an unique identifier together with the skbuff pointer.Btw: the new skbcnt element introduced in struct can_skb_priv has to be
initialized with zero in out-of-tree drivers which are not using
alloc_can{,fd}_skb() too.Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp

As reported by Manfred Schlaegl here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=143482089824232&w=2
commit 514ac99c64b "can: fix multiple delivery of a single CAN frame for
overlapping CAN filters" requires the skb->tstamp to be set to check for
identical CAN skbs.As net timestamping is influenced by several players (netstamp_needed and
netdev_tstamp_prequeue) Manfred missed a proper timestamp which leads to
CAN frame loss.As skb timestamping became now mandatory for CAN related skbs this patch
makes sure that received CAN skbs always have a proper timestamp set.
Maybe there's a better solution in the future but this patch fixes the
CAN frame loss so far.Reported-by: Manfred Schlaegl

The CAN_RAW socket can set multiple CAN identifier specific filters that lead
to multiple filters in the af_can.c filter processing. These filters are
indenpendent from each other which leads to logical OR'ed filters when applied.This socket option joines the given CAN filters in the way that only CAN frames
are passed to user space that matched *all* given CAN filters. The semantic for
the applied filters is therefore changed to a logical AND.This is useful especially when the filterset is a combination of filters where
the CAN_INV_FILTER flag is set in order to notch single CAN IDs or CAN ID
ranges from the incoming traffic.As the raw_rcv() function is executed from NET_RX softirq the introduced
variables are implemented as per-CPU variables to avoid extensive locking at
CAN frame reception time.Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to writeif (my_function(...))
/* error condition */and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski

In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets)
CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy
sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application.After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature
leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the
application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy
CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g.
make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?).This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with
real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code
together with the documentation describing the removed feature.Acked-by: Stephane Grosjean
