The DM9000's internal PHY reports a copy of the link status
in the NSR register of the chip. Reading the status when
polling for link status is faster as it eliminates the need
to sleep, but does not print as much information.
Add an platform flag to force this behaviour, and a Kconfig
option to allow it to be forced to the faster method always.

This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI
used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h).
It also adds some helper functions to read system time and
wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]).
They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK.
Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is
rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped
non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been
broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.
For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was
divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a
racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have
removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We
have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines
or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to
handle them.
Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just
drop the incoming packets.

Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.
We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.
traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.
TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit
displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in
modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G.
The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable
using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation.
I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't
work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

RFC 4960, Section 11.4. Protection of Non-SCTP-Capable Hosts
When an SCTP stack receives a packet containing multiple control or
DATA chunks and the processing of the packet requires the sending of
multiple chunks in response, the sender of the response chunk(s) MUST
NOT send more than one packet. If bundling is supported, multiple
response chunks that fit into a single packet MAY be bundled together
into one single response packet. If bundling is not supported, then
the sender MUST NOT send more than one response chunk and MUST
discard all other responses. Note that this rule does NOT apply to a
SACK chunk, since a SACK chunk is, in itself, a response to DATA and
a SACK does not require a response of more DATA.
We implement this by not servicing our outqueue until we reach the end
of the packet. This enables maximum bundling. We also identify
'response' chunks and make sure that we only send 1 packet when sending
such chunks.

When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can
potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the
64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging"). This means, in theory,
we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte.
The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn.
This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44
bits wide. Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the
Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size.
This is a bugfix for two cases:
1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with
more than 64GB RAM.
2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with
more than 64GB RAM
In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical,
and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.

Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow.
Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a
positive @inc will cause allmulti be off.
This is not what we want, though it's rare case.
The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off
and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error.
Change of v2:
Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int.
So callers can get the overflow error.
Caller's fix will be done later.
Change of v3:
1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR,
KERN_WARNING is enough.
2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we
return at once.

Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is
created to create and destroy files in net_class.
Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to
update the documentation.

Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch
by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the
netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the
RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER)
always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same
ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring
tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.

ROSE network is organized through nodes connected via hamradio or Internet.
AX25 packet radio frames sent to a remote ROSE address destination are routed
through these nodes.
Without the present patch, automatic routing mechanism did not work optimally
due to an improper parameter checking.
rose_get_neigh() function is called either by rose_connect() or by
rose_route_frame().
In the case of a call from rose_connect(), f0 timer is checked to find if a connection
is already pending. In that case it returns the address of the neighbour, or returns a NULL otherwise.
When called by rose_route_frame() the purpose was to route a packet AX25 frame
through an adjacent node given a destination rose address.
However, in that case, t0 timer checked does not indicate if the adjacent node
is actually connected even if the timer is not null. Thus, for each frame sent, the
function often tried to start a new connexion even if the adjacent node was already connected.
The patch adds a "new" parameter that is true when the function is called by
rose route_frame().
This instructs rose_get_neigh() to check node parameter "restarted".
If restarted is true it means that the route to the destination address is opened via a neighbour
node already connected.
If "restarted" is false the function returns a NULL.
In that case the calling function will initiate a new connection as before.
This results in a fast routing of frames, from nodes to nodes, until
destination is reached, as originaly specified by ROSE protocole.

Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races:
- When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash,
the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in
a RCU read side
- When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct
pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement
- When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must
not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side

Three major portions to this change:
1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines.
2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused.
3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to
size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether
IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not.
4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack
bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines
modified in #3. Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are
replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info).
With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno.
