faeae3fa0f stmmac: Define MDC clock selection macros
The patch adds the macros to be used for MDC clock selection. The MDC clock
frequency is based on scaled system clock, and has to be confined to a range
of 1-2.5 MHz. Based on the input CSR clock, the scaling factor has to be
selected.
The platform specific code will provide the default value of this scaling
factor, based on the input CSR clock.
There is an option to set MDC clock higher than the IEEE 802.3 specified
frequency limit of 2.5 MHz. This applies for the interfacing chips that
support higher MDC clocks. The resultant higher clock of 12.5 MHz requires
additional Macros to be defined for the clock divider corresponding to the
to the following selection.
-----------------------------------------
	Selection	MDC Clock
-----------------------------------------
	1000 		clk_csr_i/4
	1001 		clk_csr_i/6
	1010 		clk_csr_i/8
	1011 		clk_csr_i/10
	1100 		clk_csr_i/12
	1101	 	clk_csr_i/14
	1110 		clk_csr_i/16
	1111 		clk_csr_i/18

This support has to be added both in the include file, as well as driver. The
driver need to program the registers based on the interfacing chips. This would
be more board specific information and needs to be passed through the platform
code to the driver. This work would be carried out in the future patch set
release.

55f9a4d6fa stmmac: Define CSUM offload engine Types
This patch explicitly defines the CSUM offload engine type which need
(not mandatory) to be passed from the platform code.
STMMAC core supports two check sum offload engine types- Type-1 & Type-2.
Also, there are STMMAC cores that do not have the check sum offload
capabilities.

The behaviour of Type-1 & Type-2 cores related to provision of checksum
increases the packet length for Type-1 cores by 2, as the checksum is appended
at the end of data packet and the same is made accountable in the DMA status.
The STMMAC cores beyond Version-3.5 provide HW interface registers which allows
the user to read the HW capabilities, while to support the previous cores the
information related to HW capabilities has to be provided from the platform
code.

The Type-1 cores which do not have the HW register interface need this
information.

This patch also updates the driver's doc.

f142af2e20 stmmac: Allow stmmac to work with other PHY buses(v3).
As stmmac mdio bus name prefix is hardcoded in the driver, this allows
only phys on stmmac mdio buses to connect, however stmmac should allow
phys on other mdio buses too.

This patch adds new variable phy_bus_name to plat_stmmacenet_data
struct to let the BSP decide which phy bus to be used by stmmac driver.
A typical use-case is to have generic MDIO buses like mdio-gpio on top
of stmmac.

02eacbd0c4 ethtool: Add a common function for drivers with transmit time stamping.

c8f3a8c310 ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.
This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING
capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs
can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device
associated with the interface.

Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic
ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY
drivers lack special time stamping features.

33be96e47c net/hyperv: Add flow control based on hi/low watermark
In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full,
so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer.

This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below
the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space
available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of
retries on sending.

cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting
"unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was

"[RFC PATCH 0/2] audit of linux/device.h users in include/*"
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/4/159
 --
 
 Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:
 
 	void foo(struct device *dev);
 
 and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
 sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
 reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
 reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
 simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.
 
 Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
 commits.  One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then
 one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir
 wherever possible.

"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

 - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.

   Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
   are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
   network devices.

   sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
   and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.  Hopefully
   this means the code is now approachable.

   Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
   something was found that was usable.

   is fixed.

bda7bad62b procfs: speed up /proc/pid/stat, statm
Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under
/proc/<pid>.  With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat
and /proc/<pid>/statm files.

This patch adds
  - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values.
  - allow delimiter == 0.
  - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm.

Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.

Before patch:
  [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ top -b -n 1 | wc -l

  [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null

  real    0m0.236s
  user    0m0.056s
  sys     0m0.176s

After patch:

  real    0m0.198s
  user    0m0.050s
  sys     0m0.145s

Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu
consumption by top/ps to some extent.

accb61fe7b coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP
Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
memory regions which should not dump core.

The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

d0bd587a80 usermodehelper: implement UMH_KILLABLE
Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC.
The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away
until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().

call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does
wait_for_completion_killable.  If it fails, it uses
xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which
does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete.

If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return.  umh_complete()
should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().

Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case
call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which
should succeed "very soon".

Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with
UMH_KILLABLE.  We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back
porting.

New PTRACE_EVENT_STOP is the first event which has no corresponding

its PTRACE_EVENT's value will collide with PTRACE_EVENT_STOP's value.

This patch changes PTRACE_EVENT_STOP value to prevent this.

"Wait extended result codes for the above trace options", is not true

Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)
instead of using explicit numeric constants, to ensure we don't mess up
relationship between bit positions and event ids.

PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with
value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use.

PT_TRACE_MASK constant is nuked, the only its use is replaced by
(PTRACE_O_MASK << PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT).

626cf23660 poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for.  An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested.  This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem among others.

Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably.  The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask.  But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table pointer.

Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead
of using the requested events mask.

This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual
events that should be polled for as set by the caller.

The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to
NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table
pointer itself.  That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new
poll_requested_events inline.

The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h).  In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e.  all events).

Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually
wait.  If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the
events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the
select() call without waiting.  This might be useful information in order
to avoid doing expensive work.

A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use
to detect this situation.  This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in
include/net/sock.h.  This was the only place in the kernel that needed
this information.

Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use
the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions
instead.  In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended
with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them
directly.

This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used
the key field to get the requested events.  It's been replaced by a call
to poll_requested_events().

For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the
behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer
can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past.

Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile.

Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll()
function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument.  This
pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or
the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in
the select()'s fdset matched the requested events.

There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument:

1) obtain the key field:

	events = wait ? wait->key : ~0;

   This will still work although it should be replaced with the new
   poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same).
   This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL
   unnecessarily.

2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be
   NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no
   kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW.

3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without
   waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now
   wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL.

   However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in
   the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the
   driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set
   of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that
   since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though.

   There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens
   (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced
   by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch.

   Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait()
   actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the
   event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.
