This patch adds GSO/checksum offload to af_packet sockets using
virtio_net_hdr. Based on Rusty's patch to add this support to tun.
It allows GSO/checksum offload to be enabled when using raw socket
backend with virtio_net.
Adds PACKET_VNET_HDR socket option to prepend virtio_net_hdr in the
receive path and process/skip virtio_net_hdr in the send path. This
option is only allowed with SOCK_RAW sockets attached to ethernet
type devices.
v2 updates
----------
Michael's Comments
- Perform length check in packet_snd() when GSO is off even when
vnet_hdr is present.
- Check for SKB_GSO_FCOE type and return -EINVAL
- don't allow tx/rx ring when vnet_hdr is enabled.
Herbert's Comments
- Removed ethernet specific code.
- protocol value is assumed to be passed in by the caller.

This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth in two steps:
1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type
"struct dev_mc_list")
2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct
netdev_hw_addr" in one patch.
>From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.

In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.
Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about

Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base

again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point.
This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap
header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info
on the next call to ieee80211_tx().

When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets
the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this
configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on
resuming or detaching from a debug session.
Sequence of events in the problem case:
1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior
to a call to kgdb_handle_exception()
2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on
exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() -->
__raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0;
3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the
interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec
4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from
kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock"
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES"
here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) -->
__touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp"
to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be
set to 100s.) ...
scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched
clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... }
5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large
jump and trips the softlockup warning.
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" =
180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... }
note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to
"get_timestamp(this_cpu)"
Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec?
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of
get_timestamp() is:
get_timestamp(this_cpu)
-->cpu_clock(this_cpu)
-->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu)
-->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now)
The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to
create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now"
value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.
The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched
clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by
introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This
allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the
watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
breakpoint reservations.
The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
reservations.
The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
hardware breakpoint reservations.
Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
will be a system wide reservation.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation
flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory
allocations are that populate a address space.
In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do
a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically
shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This
allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a
per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space
gfp policy.
The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper
functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code
is what most of the patch is all about.

GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new
dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net.
Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns.
This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste
(AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns.
Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering

ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11
data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard.
According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:
1. It is QoS data frame.
2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.
The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield
to 0".

If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.
If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".
To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.

[ 427.916699] Call Trace:
The problem is caused by a mismatch between the USB core's view of the
device state and the USB device and xHCI host's view of the device state.
After the device reset and re-configuration, the device and the xHCI host
think they are using alternate setting 0 of all interfaces. However, the
USB core keeps track of the old state, which may include non-zero
alternate settings. It uses intf->cur_altsetting to keep the endpoint
sysfs files for the old state across the reset.
The bandwidth allocation functions need to know what the xHCI host thinks
the current alternate settings are, so original patch set
intf->cur_altsetting to the alternate setting 0. This caused duplicate
endpoint files to be created.
The solution is to not set intf->cur_altsetting before calling
usb_set_interface() in usb_reset_and_verify_device(). Instead, we add a
new flag to struct usb_interface to tell usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to use
alternate setting 0 as the currently installed alternate setting.

mac80211: disable software retry for now
Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
better and also points to possible solutions -- which
I can't implement right now.
I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

commit 541cd3ee00 ("phylib: Fix deadlock
on resume") caused TI DaVinci EMAC ethernet driver to oops upon resume:
PM: resume of devices complete after 237.098 msecs
Restarting tasks ... done.
kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:354!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
[...]
Backtrace:
[<c002c598>] (__bug+0x0/0x2c) from [<c0052a54>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x74/0xf8)
[<c00529e0>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0052b30>] (queue_delayed_work+0x2c/0x30)
The oops pops up because TI DaVinci EMAC driver detaches PHY on
suspend and attaches it back on resume. Attaching makes phylib call
phy_start_machine() that initializes a workqueue. On the other hand,
PHY's resume routine will call phy_start_machine() again, and that
will cause the oops since we just destroyed the already scheduled
workqueue.
This patch fixes the issue by moving workqueue initialization to
phy_device_create().
p.s. We don't see this oops with ucc_geth and gianfar drivers because
they perform a fine-grained suspend, i.e. they just stop the PHYs
without detaching.

Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen
over the end of a truncation. The problem is that
ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the
VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree.
The following sequence of events can cause the problem:
fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600);
ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024);
a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
munmap(a, 32 * 1024);
ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024);
c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b'
sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so
shares it, pinning it in memory.
Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA
'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has
_not_ been reduced.
Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the
desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check,
and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of
the mapping have been discarded.
However:
d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by
'a'.
To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation,
lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region
automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()
When code relies on a constant being a power of 2:
#define FOO 512 /* must be a power of 2 */
it would be nice to be able to do:
BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO));
However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time
constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives
results in:
error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant
As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2()
and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro
BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.
Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.
I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)
I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

commit 8bd108d adds preemption point after each opcode parse, then
a sleeping function called from invalid context bug was founded
during suspend/resume stage. this was fixed in commit abe1dfa by
don't cond_resched when irq_disabled. But recent commit 138d156 changes
the behaviour to don't cond_resched when in_atomic. This makes the
sleeping function called from invalid context bug happen again, which
is reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/1/371.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.
Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags
MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket
to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged.
This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
possible to save even more power.
Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in
separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through
nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from
Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the
BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have
overridden the IEs from Beacon frames.
This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include
the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However,
there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could
be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would
be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least
some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include
the full IE only in Beacon frames).
The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE
sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the
previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the
new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get()
which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible

Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
which rates can be used in TX rate control.
Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
(but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
removed.

If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
(e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
devices.
In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
association). Change this to take into account the basic rate
configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate
set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.
To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.
Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression
