gianfar: ARM port driver updates (1/2)
This is the first round of driver portability fixes and clean-up
with the main purpose to make gianfar portable on ARM, for the ARM
based SoC that integrates the eTSEC ethernet controller - "ls1021a".
The patches primarily address compile time errors, when compiling
gianfar on ARM. They replace PPC specific functions and macros
with architecture independent ones, solve arch specific header
inclusions, guard code that relates to PPC only, and even address
some simple endianess issues (see MAC address setup patch).
The patches addressing the bulk of remaining endianess issues,
like handling DMA fields (BD and FCB), will follow with the second
round.

The eieio() macro is not defined on ARM and generates

It turns out that some boards can have instance->lower greater than 0 and
when thermal trend is dropping it results with next_target equal to -1.
Since the next_target is defined as unsigned long it is interpreted as
0xFFFFFFFF and larger than instance->upper.
As a result the next_target is set to instance->upper which ramps up to
maximal cooling device target when the temperature is steadily decreasing.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().

by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric

If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then
one might schedule all the writes, and the other might
decide that it doesn't need to wait. But really it does.
It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary,
and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary'
anyway. So just wait always.
This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens
at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was
updated. It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable
just to be safe. Appropriate for any -stable.

sb_edac controls a large number of different PCI functions. Rather
than registering as a normal PCI driver for all of them, it
registers for just one so that it gets probed and, at probe time, it
looks for all the others.
Coincidentally, the device it registers for also contains the SMBUS
registers, so the PCI core will refuse to probe both sb_edac and a
future iMC SMBUS driver. The drivers don't actually conflict, so
just change sb_edac's device table to probe a different device.
An alternative fix would be to merge the two drivers, but sb_edac
will also refuse to load on non-ECC systems, whereas i2c_imc would
still be useful without ECC.
The only user-visible change should be that sb_edac appears to bind
a different device.

It is a successor chip of RTL8168DP.
For RTL8168EP, the read/write ocp register is via eri channel type 2, so I
move ocp_xxx() related functions under rtl_eri_xxx. And use r8168dp_ocp_xxx()
for RTL8168DP ocp read/write, r8168ep_ocp_xxx() for RTL8168EP ocp read/write.
The way of checking dash enable is different with RTL8168DP. I use
r8168dp_check_dash()for RTL8168DP and r8168ep_check_dash() for RTL8168EP,
to check if dash is enabled.
The driver_start() and driver_stop() of RTL8168EP is also different with
RTL8168DP. I use rtl8168dp_driver_xxx() for RTL8168DP and
rtl8168ep_driver_xxx for RTL8168EP.
Right now, RTL8168EP phy mcu did not need firmware code patch, so I did not
add firmware code for it.
so I did not add firmware code for it.

We need to copy exts->type when committing the change, otherwise
it would be always 0. This is a quick fix for -net and -stable,
for net-next tcf_exts will be removed.

Accessing do_remount_sb should require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but
only one of the two call sites was appropriately protected.
Fixes CVE-2014-7975.

Because CCN's cycle counter always runs, it will generate
an interrupt on overflow even if the relevant perf event
was not requested, causing a spurious warning message.
Fixed now by warning on only normal counter unwanted
overflows. Also cleaning the overflow mask at init now,
not to warn on event previously requested by firmware.

There's little point having specific entries in MAINTAINERS for Tegra
drivers that are already covered by the top-level Tegra architecture
support entry, and maintained by people listed there. Remove the

I'd like to propose Alexandre Courbot as an additional Tegra maintainer.
He's been working on a variety of Tegra-related code for a while, and
is now officially tasked with working on upstream support.

Two macros used to copy BSSID information use ether_addr_copy(), thus
the arrays must be 2-byte aligned. In one case, the array could become
unaligned if the struct containing it were changed. Use the __unaligned(2)
attribute to retain the necessary alignment. In addition, the magic number
used to specify the size of the array is replaced by ETH_ALEN.

Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all
frames that need to be assigned a sequence number.
QoS-data frames are handled properly since they
have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other
management frames use the same counter even if
multiple interfaces or contexts are present.
Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface
and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ.
