Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Missing netlink attribute validation in nft_lookup, from Patrick McHardy. 2) Restrict ipv6 partial checksum handling to UDP, since that's the only case it works for. From Vlad Yasevich. 3) Clear out silly device table sentinal macros used by SSB and BCMA drivers. From Joe Perches. 4) Make sure the remote checksum code never creates a situation where the remote checksum is applied yet the tunneling metadata describing the remote checksum transformation is still present. Otherwise an external entity might see this and apply the checksum again. From Tom Herbert. 5) Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable, from Nicholas Mc Guire. 6) Don't explicitly initialize timer struct fields, use setup_timer() and mod_timer() instead. From Vaishali Thakkar. 7) Don't invoke tg3_halt() without the tp->lock held, from Jun'ichi Nomura. 8) Missing __percpu annotation in ipvlan driver, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Don't potentially perform skb_get() on shared skbs, also from Eric Dumazet. 10) Fix COW'ing of metrics for non-DST_HOST routes in ipv6, from Martin KaFai Lau. 11) Fix merge resolution error between the iov_iter changes in vhost and some bug fixes that occurred at the same time. From Jason Wang. 12) If rtnl_configure_link() fails we have to perform a call to ->dellink() before unregistering the device.

Commit a7854487: md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write. Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded. A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data blocks, and one may be missing. Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed. So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

While reporting the (refreshed) list of modules on automatic updates we may hit the page boundary of the output console and cause a stop if pagination is enabled. However, gdb does not accept user input while running over the breakpoint handler. So we get stuck, and the user is forced to interrupt gdb. Resolve this by disabling pagination during automatic symbol updates. We restore the user's configuration once done.

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled against python 3.3) but there were several errors. I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod). Main issues that needed to be resolved: * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is __next__() instead (so let's just add both). * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format()) where it was converting the object to str first and then calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which we need to keep this behavior. * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3. This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python 3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version checks etc).

This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules: lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko files in the specified paths and the current directory. Finally it walks the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata) and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.
