MIPS: math-emu: Fix prefx detection and COP1X function field definition

2014-03-11T22:10:55+00:00

When running applications which contain the instruction "prefx" on FPU-less
CPUs, a message "Illegal instruction" will be seen. This instruction is
supposed to be ignored by the FPU emulator. However, its current detection
and function field encoding are incorrect. This patch fix the issue.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
  for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv".  The
  patch series describes this core as follows.

    "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
     for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
     a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
     computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
     contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
     coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
     and optional floating point unit."

  The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families.  It adds
  support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
  BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
  and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

  The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
  generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
  in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree.  Random other cleanups and
  patches preparing code to be merged in 3.15"

net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS

2014-01-19T03:08:58+00:00

For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's
currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported
by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return
-EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all
extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient.

Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as
an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information
about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel.

As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right
now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this
versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later
additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the
bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

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.  From Jason Wang.

errno.h: remove "NFS" from descriptions in comments

2013-11-13T03:09:12+00:00

glibc recently changed the error string for ESTALE to remove "NFS" -

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=96945714ec61951cc748da2b4b8a80cf02127ee9

from: [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale NFS file handle"),
to:   [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale file handle"),

And some have expressed concern that the kernel's errno.h
comments still refer to NFS.

So make that change... note that this is a comment-only change,
and has no functional difference.

net: introduce SO_MAX_PACING_RATE

2013-09-28T22:35:41+00:00

As mentioned in commit afe4fd062416b ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet
scheduler"), this patch adds a new socket option.

SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.

u32 val = 1000000;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &val, sizeof(val));

To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.

Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
if any.

I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.
