The physical address necessary to unmap DMA ('bufferp') is stored
in ath10k_skb_cb as 'paddr'. ath10k doesn't rely on the meta/transfer_id
when handling send completion (htc ep id is stored in sk_buff control
buffer). So the unused output arguments {bufferp, nbytesp and transfer_idp}
are removed from CE send completion. This change is needed before removing
the shadow copy of copy engine (CE) descriptors in follow up patch.

Currently to avoid uncached memory access while filling up copy engine
descriptors, shadow descriptors are used. This can be optimized further
by removing shadow descriptors. To achieve that first shadow ring
dependency in ce_send is removed by creating local copy of the
descriptor on stack and make a one-shot copy into the "uncached"
descriptor.

European Union has made it mandatory that all devices working in 2.4 GHz
has to adhere to the ETSI specification (ETSI EN 300 328 V1.9.1)
beginnig this year. The standard basically speaks about interferences
in 2.4Ghz band.
For example, when 802.11 device detects interference, TX must be stopped
as long as interference is present.

Adaptive CCA is a feature, when enabled the device learns from the
environment and configures CCA levels adaptively. This will improve
detecting interferences and the device can stop trasmissions till the
interference is present eventually leading to good performances in
varying interference conditions.

The patch includes code for enabling adaptive CCA for 10.2.4 firmware on
QCA988X.

ssb bus can be found on various "host" devices like PCI/PCMCIA/SDIO.
Every ssb bus contains cores AKA devices.
The main idea is to have ssb driver scan/initialize bus and register
ready-to-use cores. This way ssb drivers can operate on a single core
mostly ignoring underlaying details.

For some reason PCMCIA support was split between ssb and b43. We got
PCMCIA host device probing in b43, then bus scanning in ssb and then
wireless core probing back in b43. The truth is it's very unlikely we
will ever see PCMCIA ssb device with no 802.11 core but I still don't
see any advantage of the current architecture.

With proposed change we get the same functionality with a simpler
architecture, less Kconfig symbols, one killed EXPORT and hopefully
cleaner b43. Since b43 supports both: ssb & bcma I prefer to keep ssb
specific code in ssb driver.

This mostly moves code from b43's pcmcia.c to bridge_pcmcia_80211.c. We
already use similar solution with b43_pci_bridge.c. I didn't use "b43"
in name of this new file as in theory any driver can operate on wireless
core.

In uap mode the carrier is not enabled until after the first STA joins.
The carrier triggers the bridge to start its state machine, and if STP
is enabled, it takes 4 seconds as it transitions from disabled to
forwarding. During this time the bridge drops all traffic, and the EAPOL
handshake times out after 3 seconds, preventing stations from joining.

Follow the logic used in mac80211 and start the carrier in start_ap
and disable it in stop_ap. This has a nice benefit of allowing the
first station connection time to be reduced by up to 75% when STP is
in use.

wcn36xx implements a ring buffer for transmitted frames for each
(high and low priority) DMA channel.  The ring buffers are lockless:
new frames are inserted at the head of the queue, while finished
packets are reaped from the tail.

Unfortunately, the list manipulations are missing any kind of barriers
so are susceptible to various races: for example, a TX completion
handler might read an updated desc->ctrl before the head has actually
advanced, and then null out the ctl->skb pointer while it is still
being used in the TX path.

Simplify things here by adding a spin lock when traversing the ring.
This change increased stability for me without adding any noticeable
overhead on my platform (xperia z).

Some of the ath9k_phyerr enums were wrong from the
beginning (and even before). Most of the time the
codes were used for counters to be displayed over
debugfs, which made this a non-functional issue.

Some (e.g. ATH9K_PHYERR_FALSE_RADAR_EXT) are used
for radar detection and require the correct code
to work as intended.

This patch includes:
a) fixes
  ATH9K_PHYERR_FALSE_RADAR_EXT:    24 => 36
  ATH9K_PHYERR_CCK_LENGTH_ILLEGAL: 32 => 28
  ATH9K_PHYERR_CCK_POWER_DROP:     33 => 29
  ATH9K_PHYERR_HT_CRC_ERROR:       34 => 32
  ATH9K_PHYERR_HT_LENGTH_ILLEGAL:  35 => 33
  ATH9K_PHYERR_HT_RATE_ILLEGAL:    36 => 34

b) extensions
  ATH9K_PHYERR_CCK_BLOCKER = 24
  ATH9K_PHYERR_HT_ZLF      = 35
  ATH9K_PHYERR_GREEN_FIELD = 37

This patch adds support for dumping a process' (classic BPF) seccomp
filters via ptrace.

PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER allows the tracer to dump the user's classic BPF
seccomp filters. addr should be an integer which represents the ith seccomp
filter (0 is the most recently installed filter). data should be a struct
sock_filter * with enough room for the ith filter, or NULL, in which case
the filter is not saved. The return value for this command is the number of
BPF instructions the program represents, or negative in the case of errors.
Command specific errors are ENOENT: which indicates that there is no ith
filter in this seccomp tree, and EMEDIUMTYPE, which indicates that the ith
filter was not installed as a classic BPF filter.

A caveat with this approach is that there is no way to get explicitly at
the heirarchy of seccomp filters, and users need to memcmp() filters to
decide which are inherited. This means that a task which installs two of
the same filter can potentially confuse users of this interface.

v2: * make save_orig const
    * check that the orig_prog exists (not necessary right now, but when
       grows eBPF support it will be)
    * s/n/filter_off and make it an unsigned long to match ptrace
    * count "down" the tree instead of "up" when passing a filter offset

v3: * don't take the current task's lock for inspecting its seccomp mode
    * use a 0x42** constant for the ptrace command value

v4: * don't copy to userspace while holding spinlocks

v5: * add another condition to WARN_ON

v6: * rebase on net-next

mpls: mulipath improvements

Two improvements to the recently added mpls multipath support. The
first is a fix for missing initialisation the nexthop address length
for the v4 and v6 explicit null label routes, and the second is to
reduce the amount of memory used by mpls routes by changing the way
the via addresses are stored.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nexthops for MPLS routes have a via address field sized for the
largest via address that is expected, which is 32 bytes. This means
that in the most common case of having ipv4 via addresses, 28 bytes of
memory more than required are used per nexthop. In the other common
case of an ipv6 nexthop then 16 bytes more than required are
used. With large numbers of MPLS routes this extra memory usage could
start to become significant.

To avoid allocating memory for a maximum length via address when not
all of it is required and to allow for ease of iterating over
nexthops, then the via addresses are changed to be stored in the same
memory block as the route and nexthops, but in an array after the end
of the array of nexthops. New accessors are provided to retrieve a
pointer to the via address.

To allow for O(1) access without having to store a pointer or offset
per nh, the via address for each nexthop is sized according to the
maximum via address for any nexthop in the route, which is stored in a
new route field, rt_max_alen, but this is in an existing hole in
struct mpls_route so it doesn't increase the size of the
structure. Each via address is ensured to be aligned to VIA_ALEN_ALIGN
to account for architectures that don't allow unaligned accesses.

netstamp_needed is toggled for all socket families if they request

code at all. This patch starts disabling it for af-unix.

E.g. systemd enables timestamping during boot-up on the journald af-unix
sockets, thus causing the system to globally enable timestamping in the
lower networking stack. Still, it is very probable that timestamping
gets activated, by e.g. dhclient or various NTP implementations.

Add new drivers: qed & qede

This series implements the driver set for Qlogic's new QL4xxx series.
These are 10/20/25/40/50/100 Gig capable converged nics, supporting
ethernet (obviously), iscsi, fcoe, roce and iwarp protocols.

The overall driver design includes a common module ('qed') and protocol
specific dependent modules for ethernet ('qede'), fcoe ('qedf'),
iscsi ('qedi') and roce ('qedr').
The common module contains all of the common logic, e.g. initialization,
cleanup, infrastructure for interrupt handling, link management, slowpath
etc. as well as protocol agnostic features, and supplying an abstraction
layer for other modules.
The protocol specific modules can be compiled and operated independently
of each other, with the exception of the rdma modules which are dependent
on the ethernet module, in accordance with the kernel rdma stack design.

This series only adds the core and ethernet modules, with basic L2
capabilities. Future series will add the rest of the modules and enhance
the L2 functionality.

Ths patch series is constructed of the following patches:
qed:  Add module with basic common support
qed:  Add basic L2 interface
qede: Add basic Network driver
qed:  Add slowpath L2 support
qede: Add basic network device support
qede: Add classification configuration
qed:  Add link support
qede: Add support for link
qed:  Add statistics support
qede: Add basic ethtool support

From Version 7:
  - Various small fixes according to Dave's suggestions; Largest change
    [code-wise] - don't use tabs for indenting function arguments.

From Version 6:
  - Reduced the number of arguments for functions with exceptionally
    high number of parameters.

From Version 5:
  - Style change and fixes [mostly in 1, 4 and 7].
    Thanks go to Francois Romieu, a mere mortal. ;-)

From Version 4:
  - Drop dependency for x86_64.

From Version 3:
  - Limit support of initial submission to x86_64.
  - Fix endian problems appearing via sparse [although no BE support yet].
  - Fix small issues suggested by the kbuild test robot.

From Version 2:
  - Removed U64_{HI,LO}; Using {upper,lower}_32_bits instead.
  - Use regular napi weight definition.
  - [We still use the __le variants for variables, since we didn't get

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.

This module serves two main purposes:
 1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
    between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
    products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
    fall under this category.

 2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
    the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
    slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.

This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.

Adding IPv6 for the TSO helper API is trivial:
* Don't play with the id (which doesn't exist in IPv6)
* Correctly update the payload_len (don't include the
  length of the IP header itself)

====================
This series includes code simplifaction. The main changes are the correct
xceiver handling (enable/disable) of the com20020 cards. The driver now handles
link status change detection. The EAE PCI-ARCNET cards now make use of the
rotary encoded subdevice indexing and got support for led triggers on transmit
and reconnection events.
