      parisc: Reduce SIGRTMIN from 37 to 32 to behave like other Linux architectures · 1f25df2e
      Helge Deller authored
      This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus
      increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other
      Linux architectures.
      
      Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the
      PA-RISC Linux port.  Because of that we carried the various available signals
      from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native
      Linux signals.  Although this was the right decision at that time, this
      required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37)
      RT signals.
      
      Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming
      importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded)
      signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we
      have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet.
      
      Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded
      values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche
      architecture.
      
      The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would
      mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the
      parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new
      bugs beside the code duplication.
      
      The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals
      around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32.  This is of course an ABI change, but testing
      has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this
      change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used
      and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing
      installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both)
      without affecting the boot process and installed applications.
      
      Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was
      basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit
      f5a408d5 already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK
      to be equal to EAGAIN.
      
      So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring
      PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the
      future.

        Most of the changes are either new testcases for the selftest code or
        documentation changes.  The most notable change is the addition of a
        phandle resolver for use when grafting in a second device tree blob
        into the core tree.  The resolver isn't currently used by anything
        other than the selftest module, but it will be used to support device
        tree overlays; probably in the v3.19 timeframe.
      
        Also note that I've moved my normal tree from git.secretlab.ca to

      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "This time it's a relatively calm update batch, but the amount isn't
        too small in the end.  Here we go over some highlights:
      
        ALSA core:
         - One major change is the support of nonatomic PCM operations.  This
           allows the trigger and other callbacks to call schedule(), which
           would be useful for mailbox type communications.  Already some
           drivers (Digigram ones) have been converted to use together with
           threaded irqs as an example.
         - Improvement / fixes of DSD PCM format support
      
        HD-audio:
         - Large volume of rewrites are found in Realtek codec driver for
           converting Dell and HP quirks to generic forms.
         - Inverted dmic code cleanup from David.
         - Realtek COEF access has been optimized.
         - Now HD-audio jack infrastructure allows multiple callbacks, which
           fixes / simplifies the jack-dependent power controls on STAC/IDT
           and VIA codecs.
         - Many additional device-specific fixups as usual
         - A few deadcode cleanups, CA0132 code cleanup, etc.
      
        ASoC:
         - More componentization work from Lars-Peter, this time mainly
           cleaning up the suspend and bias level transition callbacks.
         - Real system support for the Intel drivers and a bunch of fixes and
           enhancements for the associated CODEC drivers, this is going to
           need a lot quirks over time due to the lack of any firmware
           description of the boards.
         - Jack detect support for simple card from Dylan Reid.
         - A bunch of small fixes and enhancements for the Freescale drivers.
         - New drivers for Analog Devices SSM4567, Cirrus Logic CS35L32,
           Everest Semiconductor ES8328 and Freescale cards using the ASRC in
           newer i.MX processors.
         - A few simple-card fixes, mostly cleanups but also a fix for
           interaction between GPIO 0 and simple-card.
      
        Misc:
         - Virtuoso / Oxygen updates by Clemens
         - USB-audio: Yamaha MOTIF XF MIDI port name fixes
         - Conversion of kernel messages to standard dev_*() in ctxfi driver"

      sparc64: Fix lockdep warnings on reboot on Ultra-5 · bdcf81b6
      David S. Miller authored
      Inconsistently, the raw_* IRQ routines do not interact with and update
      the irqflags tracing and lockdep state, whereas the raw_* spinlock
      interfaces do.
      
      This causes problems in p1275_cmd_direct() because we disable hardirqs
      by hand using raw_local_irq_restore() and then do a raw_spin_lock()
      which triggers a lockdep trace because the CPU's hw IRQ state doesn't
      match IRQ tracing's internal software copy of that state.
      
      The CPU's irqs are disabled, yet current->hardirqs_enabled is true.

      net: systemport: avoid unbalanced enable_irq_wake calls · 61b423a8
      Florian Fainelli authored
      Multiple enable_irq_wake() calls will keep increasing the IRQ
      wake_depth, which ultimately leads to the following types of
      situation:
      
      1) enable Wake-on-LAN interrupt w/o password
      2) enable Wake-on-LAN interrupt w/ password
      3) enable Wake-on-LAN interrupt w/o password
      4) disable Wake-on-LAN interrupt
      
      After step 4), SYSTEMPORT would always wake-up the system no matter what
      wake-up device we use, which is not what we want. Fix this by making
      sure there are no unbalanced enable_irq_wake() calls.

      Commit b629be5c ("net: bcmgenet: check
      harder for out of memory conditions") moved the increment of the local
      read pointer *before* reading from the hardware descriptor using
      dmadesc_get_length_status(), which creates an off-by-one situation.
      
      Fix this by moving again the read_ptr increment after we have read the
      hardware descriptor to get both the control block and the read pointer
      back in sync.

      flow-dissector: Fix alignment issue in __skb_flow_get_ports · 5af7fb6e
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This patch addresses a kernel unaligned access bug seen on a sparc64 system
      with an igb adapter.  Specifically the __skb_flow_get_ports was returning a
      be32 pointer which was then having the value directly returned.
      
      In order to prevent this it is actually easier to simply not populate the
      ports or address values when an skb is not present.  In this case the
      assumption is that the data isn't needed and rather than slow down the
      faster aligned accesses by making them have to assume the unaligned path on
      architectures that don't support efficent unaligned access it makes more
      sense to simply switch off the bits that were copying the source and
      destination address/port for the case where we only care about the protocol
      types and lengths which are normally 16 bit fields anyway.

      macvlan: optimize receive path
      
      So after porting this optimization to net-next, I found that the netperf
      results of TCP_RR regress right at the maximum peak of transactions/sec. That
      is as I increase the number of threads via the first argument to super_netperf,
      the number of transactions/sec keep increasing, peak, and then start
      decreasing. It is right at the peak, that I see a small regression with this
      patch (see results in patch 2/2).
      
      Without the patch, the ksoftirqd threads are the top cpu consumers threads on
      the system, since the extra 'netif_rx()', is queuing more softirq work, whereas
      with the patch, the ksoftirqd threads are below all of the 'netserver' threads
      in terms of their cpu usage. So there appears to be some interaction between how
      softirqs are serviced at the peak here and this patch. I think the test results
      are still supportive of this approach, but I wanted to be clear on my findings.

      macvlan: optimize the receive path · d1dd9119
      jbaron@akamai.com authored
      The netif_rx() call on the fast path of macvlan_handle_frame() appears to
      be there to ensure that we properly throttle incoming packets. However, it
      would appear as though the proper throttling is already in place for all
      possible ingress paths, and that the call is redundant. If packets are arriving
      from the physical NIC, we've already throttled them by this point. Otherwise,
      if they are coming via macvlan_queue_xmit(), it calls either
      'dev_forward_skb()', which ends up calling netif_rx_internal(), or else in
      the broadcast case, we are throttling via macvlan_broadcast_enqueue().
      
      The test results below are from off the box to an lxc instance running macvlan.
      Once the tranactions/sec stop increasing, the cpu idle time has gone to 0.
      Results are from a quad core Intel E3-1270 V2@3.50GHz box with bnx2x 10G card.
