My grand plan to allow drivers to gradually move over
to advertising virtual interface combinations and only
enforce with drivers that do want it enforced doesn't
seem to be working out, only Christian ever added the
advertising (to carl9170), nobody else did.
Begin enforcing combinations in cfg80211 so that users
can rely on the information reported about a device.

The target index can be used by userspace to uniquely identify a target
and thus should be kept unique, per NFC adapter. Moreover, some protocols
do not provide a logical index when discovering new targets, so we have to
generate one for them.

In WoWLAN, we only get the triggers when we actually get
to suspend. As a consequence, drivers currently don't
know that the device should enable wakeup. However, the
device_set_wakeup_enable() API is intended to be called
when the wakeup is enabled, not later when needed.
Add a new set_wakeup() call to cfg80211 and mac80211 to
allow drivers to properly call device_set_wakeup_enable.

mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.
To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.
Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do
will break pure injection unless we handle monitor
interfaces explicitly. One possible option would
be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor
mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API
since we already need to have queue assignments
handled per virtual interface.
So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor
interface that is added whenever all active vifs
are monitors. We could also use the state of one
of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would
be complicated, so allocate separate state.

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

This field is never set to anything non-zero in
mac80211, so we should be able to remove it.
Unfortunately though, the iwlwifi and iwlegacy
drivers use it for their internal TX status
processing (which shouldn't be using the rate
control API to start with), so add a new field
"status.antenna" for them, at least for now.
In the future, I plan to use the new field to
hold the hardware queue, while the SKB's queue
mapping holds the AC.

generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE

Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch

From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee44
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.

and request_firmware_nowait() for good, with two cleanups from Stephen Boyd on top.
* Runtime PM fix from Alan Stern preventing tasks from getting stuck indefinitely
in the runtime PM wait queue.
* Device PM QoS update from MyungJoo Ham introducing a new variant of
pm_qos_update_request() allowing the callers to specify a timeout.

Merge common_audit_data cleanup patches from Eric Paris.
This is really too late, but it's a long-overdue cleanup of the costly
wrapper functions for the security layer.
The "struct common_audit_data" is used all over in critical paths,
allocated and initialized on the stack. And used to be much too large,
causing not only unnecessarily big stack frames but the clearing of the
(mostly useless) data was also very visible in profiles.
As a particular example, in one microbenchmark for just doing "stat()"
over files a lot, selinux_inode_permission() used 7% of the CPU time.
That's despite the fact that it doesn't actually *do* anything: it is
just a helper wrapper function in the selinux security layer.
This patch-series shrinks "struct common_audit_data" sufficiently that
code generation for these kinds of wrapper functions is improved
noticeably, and we spend much less time just initializing data that we
will never use.
The functions still get called all the time, and it still shows up at
3.5+% in my microbenchmark, but it's quite a bit lower down the list,
and much less noticeable.
* Emailed patches from Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>:
lsm_audit: don't specify the audit pre/post callbacks in 'struct common_audit_data'
SELinux: do not allocate stack space for AVC data unless needed
SELinux: remove avd from slow_avc_audit()

Commit f04565ddf5 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second
regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many
devices are defined.
When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is
canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call)
Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right
position in ->start() method.
Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since
we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer.
This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption
in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

Pull drm update from Dave Airlie:
"This pull just contains a forward of the Intel fixes from Daniel.
The only annoyance is the RC6 enable, which really should have made
-next, but since Ubuntu are shipping it I reckon its getting a good
testing now by the time 3.4 comes out.
The pull from Daniel contains his pull message to me:
"A few patches for 3.4, major part is 3 regression fixes:
- ppgtt broke hibernate on snb/ivb. Somehow our QA claims that it
still works, which is why this has not been caught earlier.
- ppgtt flails in combination with dmar. I kinda expected this one :(
- fence handling bugfix for gen2/3. Iirc this one is about a year
old, fix curtesy Chris Wilson. I've created an shockingly simple
i-g-t test to catch this in the future."
Wrt regressions I've just got a report that gmbus (newly enabled
again in 3.4) is a bit noisy. I'm looking into this atm.
Also included are the rc6 enable patches for snb from Eugeni. I
wanted to include these in the main 3.4 pull but screwed it up.
Please hit me. Imo these kind of patches really should go in
before -rc1, but in thise case rc6 has brought us tons of press and
guinea pigs^W^W testers and ubuntu is already running with it. So
I estimate a pretty small chance for this to blow up.
And some smaller things:
- two minor locking snafus
- server gt2 ivb pciid
- 2 patches to sanitize the register state left behind by the bios
some more
- 2 new quirk entries
- cs readback trick against missed IRQs from ivb also enabled on snb
- sprite fix from Jesse"
Let's see if the "enable RC6 on sandybridge" finally works and sticks.
I've been enabling it by hand (i915.i915_enable_rc6=1) for several
months on my Macbook Air, and it definitely makes a difference (and has
worked for me). But every time we enabled it before it showed some odd
hw buglet for *somebody*.
This time it's all good, I'm sure.

It just bloats the audit data structure for no good reason, since the
only time those fields are filled are just before calling the
common_lsm_audit() function, which is also the only user of those
fields.
So just make them be the arguments to common_lsm_audit(), rather than
bloating that structure that is passed around everywhere, and is
initialized in hot paths.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm
not going to shrink the data union. To do this I'm going to move anything
larger than 2 void * ptrs to it's own structure and require it to be declared
separately on the calling stack. Thus hot paths which don't need more than
a couple pointer don't have to declare space to hold large unneeded
structures. I could get this down to one void * by dealing with the key
struct and the struct path. We'll see if that is helpful after taking care of
networking.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linus found that the gigantic size of the common audit data caused a big
perf hit on something as simple as running stat() in a loop. This patch
requires LSMs to declare the LSM specific portion separately rather than
doing it in a union. Thus each LSM can be responsible for shrinking their
portion and don't have to pay a penalty just because other LSMs have a
bigger space requirement.

Pull dma-buf prime support from Dave Airlie:
"This isn't a majorly urgent thing to have, but we'd like to set the
stage for working on dma-buf support in the drm drivers for the next
merge window, so I'd like to push in the initial submission now so
people have something that we can build on top of. The code just
introduces the user interface and internal helper functions for
drivers to use.
We have driver support under development for i915, nouveau, udl on x86
and exynos, omapdrm on arm, which we would be aiming for the next
merge window."
In the -rc1 announcement I asked for people who would use this to
comment on it, and got severa "Yes please" from people for this and for
HSI (that I merged earlier).
So far crickets on pohmelfs and the DMA-mapping infrastructure.
