perf/x86/intel: Rename DMR offcore_rsp attribute to offmodule_rspgrafted
DMR introduces Offmodule Response events in place of the legacy
Offcore Response events, but it still exposes the inherited
offcore_rsp PMU attribute for programming the corresponding MSR data.
Rename the DMR PMU attribute to offmodule_rsp so the sysfs interface
matches the underlying event name and avoids user & tooling confusion.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================================== +Bare UDP Tunnelling Module Documentation +======================================== + +There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to +leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks. +MPLSoUDP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them. + +The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation support for +tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside a UDP tunnel. + +Special Handling +---------------- + +The bareudp device supports special handling for MPLS & IP as they can have +multiple ethertypes. +The MPLS protocol can have ethertypes ETH_P_MPLS_UC (unicast) & ETH_P_MPLS_MC (multicast). +IP protocol can have ethertypes ETH_P_IP (v4) & ETH_P_IPV6 (v6). +This special handling can be enabled only for ethertypes ETH_P_IP & ETH_P_MPLS_UC +with a flag called multiproto mode. + +Usage +------ + +1) Device creation & deletion + + a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls_uc + + This creates a bareudp tunnel device which tunnels L3 traffic with ethertype + 0x8847 (MPLS traffic).

On reception, the +bareUDP device extracts and stores the tunnel information in the SKB dst field before +passing the packet buffer to the network stack. |
