a8fc18910b e1000e: fix ethtool offline register test for I217
The SHRAH[9] register on I217 has a different R/W bit-mask than RAR and
SHRAL/H registers.  Set R/W bit-mask appropriately for SHRAH[9] when
testing the R/W ability of the register.  Also, fix the error message log
format so that it does not provide misleading information (i.e. the logged
register address could be incorrect).

39dfb71bc0 ixgbe: Inline Rx PTP descriptor handling
This change is meant to inline the Rx PTP descriptor handling.  The main
motivation is to avoid unnecessary jumps into function calls that we then
immediately exit because we are not performing timestamps.

The net result of this change is that ixgbe_ptp_rx_tstamp drops from .5% CPU
utilization in my performance runs to 0%, and the only value tested is the Rx
descriptor which should already be warm in the cache if not stored in a
register.

891dc0821d ixgbe: Add ptp work item to poll for the Tx timestamp
This patch copies the igb implementation of Tx timestamps, which uses a work
item to poll for the Tx timestamp. In addition it adds a timeout value of 15
seconds, after which it will stop polling.

This is necessary due to an issue with the descriptor being marked done before
the Tx timestamp event has occurred. These two events don't correlate, so using
the done bit on the descriptor as indication that the timestamp must already
have been taken leads to potentially dropped Tx timestamps (especially under
heavy packet load)

6cb562d668 ixgbe: Use watchdog check in favor of BPF for detecting latched timestamp
This patch removes ixgbe_ptp_match, and the corresponding packet filtering from
ixgbe driver. This code was previously causing some issues within the hotpath of
the driver. However the code also provided a check against possible frozen Rx
timestamp due to dropped packets when the Rx ring is full. This patch provides a
replacement solution based on the watchdog.

To this end, whenever a packet consumes the Rx timestamp it stores the jiffy
value in the rx_ring structure. Watchdog updates its own jiffy timer whenever
there is no valid timestamp in the registers.

If watchdog detects a valid timestamp in the registers, (meaning that no Rx
packet has consumed it yet) it will check which time is most recent, the last
time in the watchdog, or any time in the rx_rings. If the most recent "event"
was more than 5seconds ago, it will flush the Rx timestamp and print a warning
message to the syslog.

aeb8264847 ixgbe: add missing supported filters to get_ts_info
This patch updates the filters for ethtool's get_ts_info to return support for
all filters which can be supported by upscaling to ptp_v2_event. The intent
behind this change is due to reasoning that we do in fact support the
filters. (hwtstamp_ioctl returns success after setting the filter to the
upscaled version). In this way we can remain consistent over which filters are
supported via the get_ts_info ioctl and which filters are in practice actually
supported.

dfcc4615f0 ixgbe: ethtool ixgbe_diag_test cleanup
This patch cleans up the ethtool diagnostics test by ensuring that the tests
work properly regardless of what state the adapter was in. The SRIOV VF check is
done at the beginning, forgoing the link test. The if_running -> dev_close is
moved before the link test, as well as a call to enable the Tx laser. This
ensures that the link test will return valid results even when adapter was
previously down. Also, a call to disable the Tx laser is added if the device
was down before the start. This ensures consistent behavior of the Tx laser
before and after the diagnostic checks. The end result is consistent behavior
regardless of device state.

4c133c39ae bnx2x: SR-IOV version compatibility bugfix
When posting a message on the bulletin board, the PF calculates crc
over the message and places the result in the message. When the VF
samples the Bulletin Board it copies the message aside and validates
this crc. The length of the message is crucial here and must be the
same in both parties. Since the PF is running in the Hypervisor and
the VF is running in a Vm, they can possibly be of different versions.
As the Bulletin Board is designed to grow forward in future versions,
in the VF the length must not be the size of the message structure
but instead it should be a field in the message itself.

ad9b4359c7 cnic, bnx2x: Add CNIC_DRV_STATE_HANDLES_IRQ to ethdev->drv_state
In INTA mode, cnic and bnx2x share the same IRQ.  During chip reset,
for example, cnic will stop servicing IRQs after it has shutdown the
cnic hardware resources.  However, the shared IRQ is still active as
bnx2x needs to finish the reset.  There is a window when bnx2x does
not know that cnic is no longer handling IRQ and things don't always
work properly.

Add a flag to tell bnx2x that cnic is handling IRQ.  The flag is set
before the first cnic IRQ is expected and cleared when no more cnic
IRQs are expected, so there should be no race conditions.

463d413cb7 drivers/net: delete old x86 variant of the seeq8005 driver
The last update to the Ethernet HowTo (over 10 years ago) listed this:

 ------------------------
   SEEQ 8005

   Status: Obsolete, Driver Name: seeq8005

   There is little information about the card included in the driver,
   and hence little information to be put here. If you have a question,
   you are probably best trying to e-mail the driver author as listed
   in the source.

   It was marked obsolete as of the 2.4 series kernels.
 ------------------------

If it was obsolete over a decade ago, the situation can not have
improved with the passage of time, so let us act on that.  Even with
today's improved search engines, I was unable to locate any real
meaningful information on the ISA implementation of this rare chip.

There are ARM and SGI variants of the driver in tree, but they do
not depend on the original x86 driver source or header file.  We
leave those non-x86 drivers to be deleted by the arch maintainers
when they decide to expire those legacy platforms as a whole.

0ffd89e48f drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.
This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
really have any statistically significant active linux user base.

Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
clearly indicates the vintage with this text:

	 "...designed to  work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

1f1c7a5c1d drivers/net: delete old DEC depca ISA drivers support.
These are old ISA 10Mbit cards from the 1st 1/2 of the 1990s and
required manual jumper settings in order to configure them.  Here
we remove them on the premise that they are no longer used in any
modern 3.9+ kernels.

fce3cd45e6 drivers/net: delete the really obsolete 8390 based 10Mbit ISA drivers
This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390
drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their
active lifecycle.

To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence.
The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990)
hardware and/or rare hardware.  The remaining hardware not deleted
here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless
"soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had.

The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since
AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with
shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the
mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.

This is another driver for relatively rare 10Mbit hardware that
originated in the early 1990's.  So we select it for removal at
this point in time as well.

13a80cb8b7 drivers/net: delete at1700 ISA 10Mbit driver
These Fujitsu MB86965 based ISA 10Mbit cards were another of the
relatively rare cards dating from the early 1990s that for one reason
or another didn't seem to get a lot of use in linux.  So we retire it
now with a reasonable degree of confidence that it won't impact anyone.

d2477de7a6 drivers/net: delete old 8 bit ISA Racal ni5010 support.
These cards were only available in 8bit format, and in addition
they only had AUI and BNC(10-Base2) interfaces (i.e. no RJ-45).

In fact, they are so rare, that an internet search on these old
cards almost comes up empty, unless the "Micom interlan" name
is used.

This puts them in the equivalent domain as the 3c501, so there
should be no strong opposition to the driver removal, as nobody
is seriously using 3.9+ with 8 bit ISA hardware.

In doing so, the whole "ethernet/racal" category becomes empty,
so we clean up the Makefile/Kconfig and subdir appropriately.

04861c535d drivers/net: delete Racal Interlan ISA ni52 (i825xx) driver
Like the other drivers that were in the ISA i825xx family, the ni52
was rather rare, not widely used, and hence perhaps not as reliable
as the more mainstream ISA drivers that were heavily used.  Given
that, it is chosen for retirement at this time as well.

8a594170de drivers/net: delete intel i825xx based znet notebook driver
This driver supported early to mid 1990's Zenith laptops, of the
2" thick variety.  The driver was already dead 10+ years ago, but
we see this in the source:

 ----------------
 /* 10/2002

 [...]

   Tested on a vintage Zenith Z-Note 433Lnp+. Probably broken on
   anything else. Testers (and detailed bug reports) are welcome :-).
 ----------------

To clarify, a 433 translates into a 486 at 33MHz, and a system with
a default of 4MB RAM.  I can't fault the noble effort to keep things
working a decade ago, but at this point in time, there is no valid
justification to continue carrying this driver along.

Note that there is no associated Space.c cleanup here since this
driver was using module_init to hook itself in.

f84932d831 drivers/net: delete ISA intel eexpress and eepro i825xx drivers
These old drivers should not be confused with the very common PCI
cards that are supported by e100.c -- these older 10Mbit ISA only
drivers were not as commonly used as some of the other ISA drivers,
simply due to hardware availability and pricing.

Given the rarity of the hardware, and the subsequent less extensive
use of the drivers, it makes sense to obsolete them at this point
in time, along with other rare/experimental ISA drivers.

0e245dbaac drivers/net: delete the 3Com 3c505/3c507 intel i825xx support
For those of us who were around in the early to mid 1990's, we
will remember that the i825xx ethernet support was not something
that was considered sufficiently vetted for 24/7 use.

Folks might be inclined to use *functional* ISA hardware on some
near expired P3 ISA machines for dedicated workhorse applications,
but the odds of using (and relying on) one of these old/experimental
drivers is essentially nil.  So lets remove them.

168e06ae26 drivers/net: delete old parallel port de600/de620 drivers
The parallel port is largely replaced by USB, and even in the
day where these drivers were current, the documented speed was
less than 100kB/s.  Let us not pretend that anyone cares about
these drivers anymore, or worse - pretend that anyone is using
them on a modern kernel.

As a side bonus, this is the end of legacy parallel port ethernet,
so we get to drop the whole chunk relating to that in the legacy
Space.c file containing the non-PCI unified probe dispatch.
