clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix
split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
atomic_t refcnt;
struct rcu_head rcu;
struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
u32 jited:1,
len:31;
struct sock_fprog_kern *orig_prog;
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct bpf_insn *filter);
union {
struct sock_filter insns[0];
struct bpf_insn insnsi[0];
struct work_struct work;
};
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases
split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'
__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function
also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:
sk_filter_size -> bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -> bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -> bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -> bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -> bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -> bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -> bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -> bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -> bpf_prepare_filter
API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet
API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

This patch adds and modifies code to support multiple Multicast and Unicast
Synopsys MAC filter configurations. The default configuration is defined to
support legacy driver behavior, which is 64 Multicast bins. The Unicast
filter code previously assumed all controllers support 32 or 16 Unicast
addresses based on controller version number, but this has been corrected
to support a default of 1 Unicast address. The filter configuration may
be specified through the devicetree using a Synopsys specific device tree
entry. This information was verified with Synopsys through
Synopsys Support Case #8000684337 and shared with the maintainer.

libphy was originally written assuming all phy devices support clause 45
access extensions to the mmd registers through the indirection registers
located within the first 16 phy registers. This assumption is not true
in all cases, and one specific example is the Micrel ksz9021 10/100/1000
Mbps phy. Using the stmmac driver, accessing the mmd registers to query
and configure energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) features yielded unexpected
behavior.
This patch adds mmd access functions to the phy driver that can be
overriden by the phy specific driver if the phy does not support this
mechanism or uses it's own non-standard access mechanism. By default,
the IEEE Compatible clause 45 access mechanism described in clause 22
is used. With this patch, EEE query/configure functions as expected
using the stmmac and the Micrel ksz9021 phy.

In preparation for a new mlx5 device which is VPI (i.e., ports can be
either IB or ETH), move the pci device functionality from mlx5_ib
to mlx5_core.
This involves the following changes:
1. Move mlx5_core_dev struct out of mlx5_ib_dev. mlx5_core_dev
is now an independent structure maintained by mlx5_core.
mlx5_ib_dev now has a pointer to that struct.
This requires changing a lot of places where the core_dev
struct was accessed via mlx5_ib_dev (now, this needs to
be a pointer dereference).
2. All PCI initializations are now done in mlx5_core. Thus,
it is now mlx5_core which does pci_register_device (and not
mlx5_ib, as was previously).
3. mlx5_ib now registers itself with mlx5_core as an "interface"
driver. This is very similar to the mechanism employed for
the mlx4 (ConnectX) driver. Once the HCA is initialized
(by mlx5_core), it invokes the interface drivers to do
their initializations.
4. There is a new event handler which the core registers:
mlx5_core_event(). This event handler invokes the
event handlers registered by the interfaces.

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software,
hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system
format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining
hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the
kernel.
The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware
support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field
in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers
implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero.
Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing
the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to
avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp.

Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a

The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor
can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one

Based on a patch by David Herrmann.
The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
NET_NAME_ENUM:
The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated
suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may
be reused and unpredictable.
NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
given device. Examples include statically created devices like
the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties
(including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names
depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the
existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE.
NET_NAME_USER:
The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup.
NET_NAME_RENAMED:
The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set,
it cannot change again.
NET_NAME_UNKNOWN:
This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet
categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather
-EINVAL is returned.
The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As
a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay
the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when
attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should
not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local
admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name.
If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace
already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The
main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently
have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such
names NET_NAME_USER.
If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we
most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when
third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could
be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A
typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the
real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before
the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To
solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled
NET_NAME_RENAMED.
In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a
way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when
the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on
the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include
statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties
of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided
names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE.
We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface
naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information
necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not
be exposed to userspace.
The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has
given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of
discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.
Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has
not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing
us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit.

9) VLAN code frees percpu stats in the wrong place, leading to crashes
in the get stats handler. From Eric Dumazet.
10) TCP sockets doing a repair can crash with a divide by zero, because
we invoke tcp_push() with an MSS value of zero. Just skip that part
of the sendmsg paths in repair mode. From Christoph Paasch.
11) IRQ affinity bug fixes in mlx4 driver from Amir Vadai.
12) Don't ignore path MTU icmp messages with a zero mtu, machines out
there still spit them out, and all of our per-protocol handlers for
PMTU can cope with it just fine. From Edward Allcutt.
13) Some NETDEV_CHANGE notifier invocations were not passing in the
correct kind of cookie as the argument, from Loic Prylli.
14) Fix crashes in long multicast/broadcast reassembly, from Jon Paul
Maloy.
15) ip_tunnel_lookup() doesn't interpret wildcard keys correctly, fix
from Dmitry Popov.
16) Fix skb->sk assigned without taking a reference to 'sk' in
appletalk, from Andrey Utkin.
17) Fix some info leaks in ULP event signalling to userspace in SCTP,
from Daniel Borkmann.
18) Fix deadlocks in HSO driver, from Olivier Sobrie.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly fixes for the fallouts from the recent cgroup core changes.
The decoupled nature of cgroup dynamic hierarchy management
(hierarchies are created dynamically on mount but may or may not be
reused once unmounted depending on remaining usages) led to more
ugliness being added to kernfs.
Hopefully, this is the last of it"
