Pull irq cleanups from Ingo Molnar: "This is a multi-arch cleanup series from Thomas Gleixner, which we kept to near the end of the merge window, to not interfere with architecture updates. This series (motivated by the -rt kernel) unifies more aspects of IRQ handling and generalizes PREEMPT_ACTIVE" * 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: preempt: Make PREEMPT_ACTIVE generic sparc: Use preempt_schedule_irq ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq m32r: Use preempt_schedule_irq hardirq: Make hardirq bits generic m68k: Simplify low level interrupt handling code genirq: Prevent spurious detection for unconditionally polled interrupts

alpha: Use qemu+cserve provided high-res clock and alarm.

QEMU provides a high-resolution timer and alarm; use this for a clock source and clock event source when available. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

alpha: Reorganize rtc handling

2013-11-17T00:33:16Z

Discontinue use of GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE; rely on the RTC subsystem. The marvel platform requires that the rtc only be touched from the boot cpu. This had been partially implemented with hooks for get/set_rtc_time, but read/update_persistent_clock were not handled. Move the hooks from the machine_vec to a special rtc_class_ops struct. We had read_persistent_clock managing the epoch against which the rtc hw is based, but this didn't apply to get_rtc_time or set_rtc_time. This resulted in incorrect values when hwclock(8) gets involved. Allow the epoch to be set from the kernel command-line, overriding the autodetection, which is doomed to fail in 2020. Further, by implementing the rtc ioctl function, we can expose this epoch to userland. Elide the alarm functions that RTC_DRV_CMOS implements. This was highly questionable on Alpha, since the interrupt is used by the system timer. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

alpha: Primitive support for CPU power down.

2013-11-17T00:33:15Z

Use WTINT to wait for the next interrupt. Squash the WTINT call if the PALcode doesn't support it (e.g. MILO). No attempt is yet made to skip clock ticks during normal scheduling in order to stay in power down mode longer. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

alpha: Notice if we're being run under QEMU

2013-11-17T00:33:12Z

When building a generic kernel, do a run-time check on the serial number, like we do for MILO. When building a custom kernel, make this a configure-time check. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

alpha: Eliminate compiler warning from memset macro

2013-11-17T00:33:09Z

Compiling with GCC 4.8 yields several instances of crypto/vmac.c: In function ‘vmac_final’: crypto/vmac.c:616:9: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] memset(&mac, 0, sizeof(vmac_t)); ^ arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:31:25: note: in definition of macro ‘memset’ ? __builtin_memset((s),0,(n)) \ ^ Converting the macro to an inline function eliminates this problem. However, doing only that causes problems with the GCC 3.x series. The inline function cannot be named "memset", as otherwise we wind up with recursion via __builtin_memset. Solve this by adjusting the symbols such that __memset is the inline, and ___memset is the real function. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace. At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions. Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate byte codes to do such lookups. Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel. Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation, one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and this is very expensive. Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the new stuff. Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have worked so hard on this. 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things. In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test cases are added. 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet and Yang Yingliang. 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin Sujir. 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng. 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary control message data, much like other socket option attributes. From Francesco Fusco. 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn Bohrer. 10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet. 11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys. Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and our generic flow dissector. 14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned up in this way, from Jingoo Han. 15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel Borkmann. 17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks, particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal (re-)implementation in virtio-net.
