net: Add Keystone NetCP ethernet driver support

The Network Coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator that processes
Ethernet packets. NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a ethernet
switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes a packet
accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations such as
header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum
generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security Accelerator(SA)
capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets.

Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which
includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.

Both GBE and XGBE network processors supported using common driver. It
is also designed to handle future variants of NetCP.

version history
---------------
v7->v8

 - Reworked comments against v7, related to checker warning.
 - Patch 2/4 that has all of the driver code in v7 is now split into 3
   patches based on functionality so that we have 3 smaller patches
   review instead of a big patch.
 - Patch for MAINTAINER is merged to 2/4 along with netcp core driver
 - Separate patch (3/4) for 1G and  (4/4) for 10G
 - Removed big endian support for initial version (will add it later)

v6->v7
 - Fixed some minor documentation error and also modified the netcp driver
   to fix the set* functions to include correct le/be macros.

v5->v6
 - updated version after incorporating comments [6] from David Miller,
   David Laight & Geert Uytterhoeven on v5. I would like get this in
   for v3.19 merge window if the latest version is acceptable.

v4->v5
 - Sorry to spin v5 quickly but I missed few check-patch warnings which
   were pointed by Joe Perches(thanks). I folded his changes [5] along with
   few more check-patch warning fixes. I would like get this in for v3.18
   merge window if David is happy with this version.

v3->v4
 - Couple of fixes in in error path as pointed [4] out by David. Rest of
   the patches are unchanged from v3.

v2->v3
 - Update v3 after incorporating Jamal and David Miller's comment/suggestion
   from earlier versions [1] [2].  After per the discussion here [3], the
   controversial custom exports have been dropped now. And for future
   future offload support additions, we will plug into generic frameworks
   as an when they are available.

This patch enhances the NetCP gbe driver to support 10GbE subsystem
available in Keystone NetCP. The 3-port 10GbE switch sub-module contains
the following components:- 10GbE Switch, MDIO Module, 2 PCS-R Modules
(10GBase-R) and 2 SGMII modules (10/100/1000Base-T). The GBE driver
together with netcp core driver provides support for 10G Ethernet
on Keystone SoCs.

This patch add support for 1G Ethernet driver based on Keystone
NetCP hardware. The gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch subsystem is one of the main
components of the network coprocessor (NETCP) peripheral. The purpose of the
gigabit Ethernet switch subsystem in the NETCP is to provide an interface to
transfer data between the host device and another connected device in
compliance with the Ethernet protocol. GbE consists of 5 port Ethernet Switch
module, 4 Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) modules, MDIO
module and SerDes.

Driver for 5 port GbE switch and SGMII module is added in this patch. These
hardware modules along with netcp core driver provides Network driver functions
for 1G Ethernet.

Merge branch 'link_netns'

Nicolas Dichtel says:

====================
netns: allow to identify peer netns

The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an
attribute that identify a peer netns.
This is needed by the userland to interpret some information contained in
netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case
of x-netns netdevice (see also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)).

Ids of peer netns can be set by userland via a new rtnl cmd RTM_NEWNSID. When
the kernel needs an id for a peer (for example when advertising a new x-netns
interface via netlink), if the user didn't allocate an id, one will be
automatically allocated.
These ids are stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where
they are set). To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use
idr_for_each() to retrieve the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible
to add a table (struct net -> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed.

Patch 1/4 introduces the rtnetlink API mechanism to set and get these ids.
Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids when advertising
information about a x-netns interface.
And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between a GET and
a SET.

iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand.

Here is a small screenshot to show how it can be used by userland.

$ ip netns add foo
$ ip netns del foo
$ ip netns

$ mount --bind /proc/1/ns/net /var/run/netns/init_net

  use rtnetlink instead of genetlink
  allocate automatically an id if user didn't assign one
  rename include/uapi/linux/netns.h to include/uapi/linux/net_namespace.h
  add vxlan in patch #3

RFCv3 -> v4:
  rebase on net-next
  add copyright text in the new netns.h file

RFCv2 -> RFCv3:
  ids are now defined by userland (via netlink). Ids are stored in each netns
  (and they are local to this netns).
  add get_link_net support for ip6 tunnels
  netnsid is now a s32 instead of a u32

RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
  remove useless ()
  ids are now stored in the user ns. It's possible to get an id for a peer netns
  only if the current netns and the peer netns have the same user ns parent.

The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to
get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this
function allocates one.

These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.

This makes the very common pattern of

  if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }

be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do

  return nlmsg_end(...);

and the caller is expected to deal with it.

This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write

  if (my_function(...))
    /* error condition */

and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.

Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.

Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did

-	return nlmsg_end(...);
+	nlmsg_end(...);
+	return 0;

I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.

One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

subsequently never returning an empty skb (terminating).

This patch fixes the resume mechanism by keeping a logical reference
to the last hash table along with a logical reference to the socket
(port) that didn't fit in the previous message.

        - Looking at the code it appears,
	If both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF were set,
        the size calculation in rtnl_bridge_notify can be wrong.
        Example: if you set both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF
        in a setlink request to rocker dev, rtnl_bridge_notify will
	allocate skb for one set of bridge attributes, but,
	both the bridge driver and rocker dev will try to add
	attributes resulting in twice the number of attributes
	being added to the skb.  (rocker dev calls ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink)

There are multiple options:
1) Generate one notification including all attributes from master and self:
   But, I don't think it will work, because both master and self may use
   the same attributes/policy. Cannot pack the same set of attributes in a
   single notification from both master and slave (duplicate attributes).

2) Generate one notification from master and the other notification from
   self (This seems to be ideal):
     For master: the master driver will send notification (bridge in this
	example)
     For self: the self driver will send notification (rocker in the above
	example. It can use helpers from rtnetlink.c to do so. Like the
	ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink api).

This patch implements 2) (leaving the 'rtnl_bridge_notify' around to be used
with 'self').

v1->v2 :
	- rtnl_bridge_notify is now called only for self,
	so, remove 'BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF' check and cleanup a few things
	- rtnl_bridge_dellink used to always send a RTM_NEWLINK msg
	earlier. So, I have changed the notification from br_dellink to
	go as RTM_NEWLINK

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-01-16

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

This series is a little bit larger than normal because two of the patches are
version bumps.

Shannon provides tweaks to i40e and i40evf to keep the firmware, software
and silicon validation in line together by removing unused and
deprecated code, adding define for iSCSI and fix queue mask size.  Fix
i40e so we do not give up in the reset/rebuild process if DCB setup
fails, just handle it the same as in the probe setup.  Cleans up PTP
log messages by removing the use of __func__ as we are not using that
any longer and removes the netdev name, since that can change and can
be misleading.  Adds struct size checks to indirect and command
structs that were left out previously.  Added admin queue API updates
(LLDP control, OEM OCSD and OCBB commands).

Kevin increases ASQ timeout for scenarios with multi-function devices.

Carolyn fixes a problem where the interrupts descriptions from the MSIx
configuration were truncating the needed bus info, which makes it hard
to distinguish configurations from port to port.  Increased the string
buffer size in order to allow the full data to be displayed.

Sravanthi cleans up the dump stats string from debugfs.

Jacob updates i40e to only enable the PTP interrupt in PFs which have PTP
enabled, instead of blindly enabling the PTP interrupt flags for all PFs.
Also updated i40e so that we do not do Tx or Rx timestamps if we do not
have PTP enabled.  Added the same check against pf->ptp_rx as we have
in Rx timestamp code path because it is possible that the user can
configure only Tx hardware timestamping so we do not want to check for
Rx timestamp hang since the software won't be handling them.

Neerav updates the driver to disable firmware LLDP agent for NICs with
a firmware version lower than v4.3 and added a message when this happens.
Adds parsing and reporting of iSCSI capability for a given device or
function, as well as adding support for iSCSI partition type with DCB
in NPAR mode.

v2:
 - Dropped patch 10 "i40e: clean up PTP log messages" based on feedback
   from David Laight and David Miller
 - Split up the original patch 13 "i40e: AQ API updates for new commands"
   into 2 patches (now #12 & #13) based on feedback from Or Gerlitz

amd-xgbe: AMD XGBE driver updates 2015-01-16

The following series of patches includes functional updates to the
driver as well as some trivial changes.

- Fix checks/warnings from checkpatch in the amd-xgbe driver
- Fix checks/warnings from checkpatch in the amd-xgbe-phy driver
- Add a check to be sure that the amd-xgbe driver is using the
  amd-xgbe-phy driver
- Use a saved control register value when bringing the PCS out of
  suspend
- Clear all device state during a device restart
- Simplify the Rx descriptor ring tracking
- Remove the need for Tx path spinlocks
- Update the auto-negotiation logic to make use of the auto-negotiation
  interrupt
- Properly support/advertise the FEC capability of the device
- Use the proper page registers during auto-negotiation extended next
  page exchange
- Add ACPI support to the amd-xgbe and amd-xgbe-phy drivers
- Allow platform specific phy settings to be supplied by UEFI

This patch series is based on net-next.

Certain PHY settings need to be configurable by UEFI depending on the
platform being used.  Add new device tree / ACPI properties that, if
present, will override the pre-determined values currently used.

Add support for ACPI to the amd-xgbe and amd-xgbe-phy drivers. This
support converts many of the device tree APIs to the new device_property
APIs.
