   - Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)

Couple conflicts resolved here:

1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
   RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
   to support variable sized rings.

2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --&gt; "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
   overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
   ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.

3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
   stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
   and reorganized in 'net-next'.

4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
   'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
   Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
   in 'net'.  It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
   the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
   tc_skip_sw().

5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
   unrelated changes in 'net-next'.

6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
   bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
   the same code in 'net-next'.  Since the 'net-next' code no
   longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
   other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

<title>tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING</title>

<id>1c885808e45601b2b6f68b30ac1d999e10b6f606</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation.  For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.

To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

<title>MIPS: Mask out limit field when calculating wired entry count</title>
<updated>2016-11-24T15:44:16+00:00</updated>

<id>1031398035a25e5c90c66befb6ff41fa4746df98</id>
<content type='text'>
Since MIPSr6 the Wired register is split into 2 fields, with the upper
16 bits of the register indicating a limit on the value that the wired
entry count in the bottom 16 bits of the register can take. This means
that simply reading the wired register doesn't get us a valid TLB entry
index any longer, and we instead need to retrieve only the lower 16 bits
of the register. Introduce a new num_wired_entries() function which does
this on MIPSr6 or higher and simply returns the value of the wired
register on older architecture revisions, and make use of it when
reading the number of wired entries.

Since commit e710d6668309 ("MIPS: tlb-r4k: If there are wired entries,
don't use TLBINVF") we have been using a non-zero number of wired
entries to determine whether we should avoid use of the tlbinvf
instruction (which would invalidate wired entries) and instead loop over
TLB entries in local_flush_tlb_all(). This loop begins with the number
of wired entries, or before this patch some large bogus TLB index on
MIPSr6 systems. Thus since the aforementioned commit some MIPSr6 systems
with FTLBs have been prone to leaving stale address translations in the
FTLB &amp; crashing in various weird &amp; wonderful ways when we later observe
the wrong memory.

No need to duplicate the same define everywhere. Since
the only user is stop-machine and the only provider is
s390, we can use a default implementation of cpu_relax_yield()
in sched.h.

As there are no users left, we can remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()
implementations from every architecture.

<title>locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()</title>

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.
