<title>sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type</title>

<content type='text'>
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs.
This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to
distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses.

For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC
addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned)
MAC addresses.
For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the
device path instead of the MAC address.
There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave
devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware
of the fact.

This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of
drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

<title>net: 64bit stats for netdev_queue</title>

Since struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped are already
protected by _xmit_lock, its easy to convert these fields to u64 instead
of unsigned long.
This completes 64bit stats for devices using them (vlan, macvlan, ...)

Strictly, we could avoid the locking in dev_txq_stats_fold() on 64bit
arches, but its slow path and we prefer keep it simple.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
deferred for later delivery by the driver.

The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
optionally implement these functions.

All current users of pm_qos_add_request() have the ability to supply
the memory required by the pm_qos routines, so make them do this and
eliminate the kmalloc() with pm_qos_add_request().  This has the
double benefit of making the call never fail and allowing it to be
called from atomic context.

<title>net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats union</title>

<id>3cfde79c6c7c8002375c4a8e5be7f602fbb9675d</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b "net: Enable 64-bit
net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct
net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct
rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or
conversion between the two.  However, this is unsafe because there is
no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to
dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns.

In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit
counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by
requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the
result.  This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding
in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them.

Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its
new usage.

Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since
that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer
going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats.

Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure
conversion.
