net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.
Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.
This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86.
Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).
This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
* Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
* Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs
This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.
Note:
1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
set as independant operations.
2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay
3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
as hub or be sticky.
4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
because more bits are reserved for port number.

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers
The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed.
Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the
type of entropy source it is.
drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for
devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced
with these add_*_randomness exported functions.
Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of
entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can
be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the
entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq
mitigation and NAPI.
If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false
sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good
sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or
feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy
such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

phylib: phy_attach_direct: phy_init_hw can fail, add cleanup
The function phy_attach_direct attaches the phy and calls phy_init_hw.
phy_init_hw can fail, but the phy is still marked as attached. Successive
calls to phy_attach_direct will fail because the phy is busy.

bridge: mcast snooping, fix length check of snooped MLDv1/2
"len = ntohs(ip6h->payload_len)" does not include the length of the ipv6
header itself, which the rest of this function assumes, though.
This leads to a length check less restrictive as it should be in the
following line for one thing. For another, it very likely leads to an
integer underrun when substracting the offset and therefore to a very
high new value of 'len' due to its unsignedness. This will ultimately
lead to the pskb_trim_rcsum() practically never being called, even in
the cases where it should.

net: gre: provide multicast mappings for ipv4 and ipv6
My commit 6d55cb91a0020ac0 (gre: fix hard header destination
address checking) broke multicast.
The reason is that ip_gre used to get ipgre_header() calls with
zero destination if we have NOARP or multicast destination. Instead
the actual target was decided at ipgre_tunnel_xmit() time based on
per-protocol dissection.
Instead of allowing the "abuse" of ->header() calls with invalid
destination, this creates multicast mappings for ip_gre. This also
fixes "ip neigh show nud noarp" to display the proper multicast
mappings used by the gre device.

After commit a715dea3c8e9ef2771c534e05ee1d36f65987e64 ("net: Always

of MAX_SKB_FRAGS can now take on either an "unsigned long" or an

powerpc: Fix accounting of softirq time when idle
commit cf9efce0ce31 (powerpc: Account time using timebase rather
than PURR) used in_irq() to detect if the time was spent in
interrupt processing. This only catches hardirq context so if we
are in softirq context and in the idle loop we end up accounting it
as idle time. If we instead use in_interrupt() we catch both softirq
and hardirq time.

powerpc/xics: Fix numberspace mismatch from irq_desc conversion
commit 79f26c268ebad29bd75d078cfc09d3d82b30ccbd (powerpc:
platforms/pseries irq_data conversion) pushed irq_desc down into many
functions, dererencing the descriptor irq field as late as possible.
But it incorrectly passed a linix virtural irq number to RTAS,
resulting in the interrupt not being disabled and possibly
other bad things, such as another interrupt being disabled and/or
a checkstop.
In addition this missed the point of xics_mask_unknown_vec and
the seperation of xics_mask_real_irq from xics_mask_irq. When
xics_mask_unknown_vec is called it's because the hardware delivered an
irq source for which we have no linux irq allocated, and thefore we can
not have an irq_desc allocated.
Revert xics_mask_real_irq to its prior version, naming the argument
hwirq to highlight the difference.
