Make sys_recv a first class citizen by using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx
macro. Besides being cleaner this will also generate meta data
for the system call so tracing tools like ftrace or LTTng can
resolve this system call.

<title>net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file</title>

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is
triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set:

  ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined!

The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier,
so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select
it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to
select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK
or similar that would pull it in automatically.

This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP
program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits
to drivers.

This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw()
API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also,
the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it
can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]).

In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg
tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via
`./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the
commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when
there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need
to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead,
a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old
code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very
same filter.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
  wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
  back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
  game.

  Anyways:

   1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
      is the correct implementation, like it should.  Instead it does
      something like a NAPI poll operation.  This leads to crashes.

      From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.

   2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
      fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
      release callbacks.

      This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
      variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
      actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.

      From Michael S.  Tsirkin.

   3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on
      an already "owned" socket.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

   4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the
      destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes
      multicast address.  From Linus Lüssing.

   5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter
      for the helper function call in the wrong register.  Fix from
      Alexei Starovoitov.

   6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the
      r8169 driver is incorrect.  Fix from Hayes Wang.

   7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;gso_type bits to see
      if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test.  It
      should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead.  Fix from Wei Liu.

   8) Negative msg-&gt;msg_namelen values should generate an error, from
      Matthew Leach.

   9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's
      ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts
      in the latter.  Fix from Alexander Aring.

  10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct
      order, so promiscuous settings can get lost.  Fix from Stefan
      Wahren.

  11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann.

  12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and
      Erik Hugne.

  13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all
      frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e.  6lowpan) can
      crash.  Fix from Florian Westphal.

  14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it
      uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC.  From Anton
      Blanchard.

      The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only
      as a value that, once folded (f.e.  via csum_fold()) produces a
      correct 16-bit checksum.  It is legitimate, therefore, for
      csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the
      same data if their respective alignments are different.

  15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also
      from Anton Blanchard.

  16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed,
      from Anton Nayshtut.

  17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the
      garbage collection threshold.  Fix from Sabrina Dubroca.

  18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the
      chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular
      causes the firmware to shut down the PHY.  Fix from Michael Chan.

  19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as
      currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations.
      From Eric Dumazet.

  20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay()
      call, fix from Ben Hutchings.

  21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix
      from Eric Dumazet.

  22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a
      regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in
      some circumstances.  Fix from Peter Boström"

<title>net: handle error more gracefully in socketpair()</title>

<id>d73aa2867f33582314f098277421ded65f5745a9</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not
rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try
to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing
the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are
catched earlier and being easier to handle.

Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the
file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less
the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling
involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close().

This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual.
So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on
fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used
in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2).

Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling
fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will
implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket
structure.

This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not
rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try
to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing
the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are
catched earlier and being easier to handle.

Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the
file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less
the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling
involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close().

====================
SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl

1. Add the SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl and update the timestamping
documentation.
2. Implement SIOCGHWTSTAMP in most drivers that support SIOCSHWTSTAMP.
3. Add a test program to exercise SIOC{G,S}HWTSTAMP.

<title>net: clamp -&gt;msg_namelen instead of returning an error</title>

If kmsg-&gt;msg_namelen &gt; sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the
original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you
had audit configured.  If you didn't have audit configured it was
harmless.

There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too
large of a buffer and returning an error code breaks them.  We should
clamp the -&gt;msg_namelen value instead.
