      Fix blocking allocations called very early during bootup · 31a67102
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
      we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
      configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
      scheduling events.
      
      We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
      code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
      scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
      initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.
      
      And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
      it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
      blocking allocations much too early.
      
      So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
      (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
      disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'.  kernel_init() is run
      in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
      opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
      will be the first idle thread.
      
      So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
      be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
      thread into the init thread.

      net: drop NET dependency from HAVE_BPF_JIT · e47b65b0
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it
      forces all users to depend on NET to tell they support BPF_JIT.  Move
      the config option to the bottom of the file - this could be a nice place
      also for future "selectable" config symbols.
      
      Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not
      required to supress warnings for non-NET builds.

      Pull sparc updates from David Miller:
      
      1) Kill off support for sun4c and Cypress sun4m chips.
      
         And as a result we were able to also kill off that ugly btfixup thing
         that required multi-stage links of the final vmlinux image in the
         Kbuild system.  This should make the kbuild maintainers really happy.
      
         Thanks a lot to Sam Ravnborg for his tireless efforts to get this
         going.
      
      2) Convert sparc64 to nobootmem.  I suspect now with sparc32 being a lot
         cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
         too.
      
      3) Make sparc32 use generic clockevents, from Tkhai Kirill.
      
      [ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.
        But I don't have - or want - a sparc cross-build environment, so the
        BPF rule bug and the related build cleanup was all done with just a
        bare "make -n" pseudo-test.      - Linus ]

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull networking changes from David Miller:
      
       1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
          goto.
      
       2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
          Gortmaker.
      
       3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
          Eric Dumazet.
      
       4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
          Cochran and Jacob Keller.
      
       5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
          ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
      
       6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko.  Part
          of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
          and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
      
       7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
          uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
          completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
      
       8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc.  I know, who cares, right? :-)
      
       9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
          mode interfaces in the sysctl code.  From Eric W Biederman.
      
      10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
          TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
          well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
          sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE.  There is also a
          TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
          enabled on the connection.
      
      11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
          enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
      
           a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
              we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
      
           b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
              than SLAB kmalloc'd memory.  In particular devices which were
              receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
              data.
      
          The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
          any more.
      
      12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
          What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
          receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
          doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
          space.
      
          sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
          so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
          buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
      
          Also from Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
          Chris Elston.
      
      14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
          Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
          threshold under certain conditions.
      
      15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
          Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
      
          Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
          are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
          the queue length (which is what RED uses).
