430ad68ffb net: phy: bcm7xxx: add BCM7250 and BCM7364 PHY entries
Add two new entries to the Broadcom BCM7xxx internal PHY driver for
BCM7250 and BCM7364 chips. Those chips share the usual 28nm process
Gigabit PHY sequence and require the same workarounds so far.

====================
dsa: Broadcom Starfighter 2 switch support

This patch series adds support for the Broadcom Starfighter 2 (Roboswitch
successor) using the existing DSA infrastructure. This integrated switch
is heavily used in Set Top Box, Cable gateways and DSL gateways products
from Broadcom, and to a larger extent the new ARM-based Wi-Fi routers although
slightly differently.

Changes in v5 are the introduction of ETH_P_XDSA as suggested by Alexander to
help capture applications see this is a multiplexed DSA approach now.

Changes in v4 are the introducing of an indirection level for DSA switch tag
protocols receive and transmit functions.

I intentionnaly did not address one comment from Alexander who suggested to
move port_names and port_dn in a separate structure since that involves
touching arch/arm/ and arch/blackfin/ code which I am not yet comfortable
doing.

Notable changes in v3 is the preliminary patch that reworks the skb->protocol
override helpers for non-Ethertype switch tags, based on feedback from
Alexander Duyck.

The biggest changes from v1 of this patch series are:

- use the new fixed PHY helpers
- improved the switch driver with more complete features (interrupts,
  (RG)MII configuration, memory arrays power down/up, port disabling/enable
  VLAN separation

Future work will focus on bringing the upstream driver in feature parity with
the current downstream driver, including:

- adding Wake-on-LAN support to the switch
- adding suspend/resume callbacks for S2/S3 Power Management modes
- extending the switch register interface to cover BCM5310X SoCs

Add support for the Broadcom Starfigther 2 switch chip using a DSA
driver. This switch driver supports the following features:

- configuration of the external switch port interface: MII, RevMII,
  RGMII and RGMII_NO_ID are supported
- support for the per-port MIB counters
- support for link interrupts for special ports (e.g: MoCA)
- powering up/down of switch memories to conserve power when ports are
  unused

Finally, update the compatible property for the DSA core code to match
our switch top-level compatible node.

0d8bcdd383 net: dsa: allow for more complex PHY setups
Modify the DSA slave interface to be bound to an arbitray PHY, not just
the ones that are available as child PHY devices of the switch MDIO bus.

This allows us for instance to have external PHYs connected to a
separate MDIO bus, but yet also connected to a given switch port.

Under certain configurations, the physical port mask might not be a 1:1
mapping to the MII PHYs mask. This is the case, if e.g: Port 1 of the
switch is used and connects to a PHY at a MDIO address different than 1.

Introduce a phys_mii_mask variable which allows driver to implement and
divert their own MDIO read/writes operations for a subset of the MDIO
PHY addresses.

3e8a72d1da net: dsa: reduce number of protocol hooks
DSA is currently registering one packet_type function per EtherType it
needs to intercept in the receive path of a DSA-enabled Ethernet device.
Right now we have three of them: trailer, DSA and eDSA, and there might
be more in the future, this will not scale to the addition of new
protocols.

This patch proceeds with adding a new layer of abstraction and two new
functions:

dsa_switch_rcv() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
receive function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

dsa_slave_xmit() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
transmit function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

When we do create the per-port slave network devices, we iterate over
the switch protocol to assign the DSA-specific receive and transmit
operations.

A new fake ethertype value is used: ETH_P_XDSA to illustrate the fact
that this is no longer going to look like ETH_P_DSA or ETH_P_TRAILER
like it used to be.

This allows us to greatly simplify the check in eth_type_trans() and
always override the skb->protocol with ETH_P_XDSA for Ethernet switches
tagged protocol, while also reducing the number repetitive slave
netdevice_ops assignments.

c2c0e8b2b8 f_ncm: Don't use netdev_start_xmit().
Unfortunately, the USB gadget layer has this weird things where NULL
skbs are passed into ops->ndo_start_xmit() in order to trigger the
dev->wrap() calls to build packets.

This is completely outside of the allowable range of sane arguments
for the ndo_start_xmit method.  All invocations of ndo_start_xmit()
should be with non-NULL SKB arguments.

Put back the direct call, but with a comment explaining how this
is not acceptable in the long term.

23d2d9a630 ethernet: arc: Add support for specific SoC layer device tree bindings
Some platforms have special bank registers which might be used to
select the correct clock or the right mode for Media Indepent Interface
controllers. Sometimes, it is also required to activate vcc regulators
in the right order to supply the ethernet controller at the right time.
This patch is an architecture refactoring of the arc-emac device driver.
It adds a new software design which allows to add specific platform
glue layer. Each platform has now its own module which performs custom
initialization and remove for the target and then calls to the
core driver.

When one tries to add eth as a port into team and that eth is already in
use by other rx_handler device (macvlan, bond, bridge, ...) a bug in
team_port_add() causes that IFF_TEAM_PORT flag is set before rx_handler
is registered. In between, netdev nofifier is called and
team_device_event() sees IFF_TEAM_PORT and thinks that rx_handler_data
pointer is set to team_port. But it isn't.

Fix this by reordering rx_handler register and IFF_TEAM_PORT priv flag
set so it is very similar to how bonding does this.

0b725a2ca6 net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use signalling instead.
As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the
overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is
non-trivial.

There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the
reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and
then write the device register.

Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications
to the device drivers.

The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means
that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the
current SKB.  And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer
update.

Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero.

Amir Vadai says:

====================
Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules

I'm re-spinning this patchset. At the begining it was suggested to use a
different name for the parameter, but at the end [3] the resolution was to
leave it as it is in this patch.

Drivers need to know if running from kdump kernel in order to change their
memory profile - since kdump environment is limited by available memory.
Currently there are drivers that are using reset_devices as suggested in [2].
In [2] it was suggested to use reset_devices, but the context was, to enable
driver to know when the hardware device is needed to be reset, and not if this
is a kdump environment. We think that is_kdump_kernel() is better suited to
select between different memory profiles.

The first patch in this patchset exports a needed symbol in order to make
is_kdump_kernel() accessible from the drivers. The rest of the patches change
from reset_devices to is_kdump_kernel() in 2 networking drivers.

The idea of this patchset was suggested by Vivek Goyal.

Tested (only build) and applied on top of commit 8fc54f6: ("net: use
reciprocal_scale() helper")

b3292e88e3 crash_dump: Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules
In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to
make elfcorehdr_addr exported.
This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in
that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are
some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from
a kdump kernel.  And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better.

fe88e6dd8b Merge branch 'ndo_xmit_flush'
Basic deferred TX queue flushing infrastructure.

Over time, and specifically and more recently at the Networking
Workshop during Kernel SUmmit in Chicago, we have discussed the idea
of having some way to optimize transmits of multiple TX packets at
a time.

There are several areas of overhead that could be amortized with such
schemes.  One has to do with locking and transactional overhead, the
other has to do with device specific costs.

This patch set here is more aimed at device specific costs.

Typically a device queues up a packet in the TX queue and then has to
do something to have the device start processing that new entry.
Sometimes this is composed of doing an MMIO write to a "tail"
register, and in other cases it can involve something as expensive as
a hypervisor call.

The basic setup defined here is that when the driver supports deferred
TX queue flushing, ndo_start_xmit should no longer perform that
operation.  Instead a new operation, ndo_xmit_flush, should do it.

I have converted IGB and virtio_net as example initial users.  The IGB
conversion is tested, virtio_net is not but it does compile :-)

All ndo_start_xmit call sites have been abstracted behind a new helper
called netdev_start_xmit().

This just adds the infrastructure, it does not actually add any
instances of actually doing multiple ndo_start_xmit calls per
ndo_xmit_flush invocation.
