      Fix blocking allocations called very early during bootup · 31a67102
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
scheduling events.

We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.

And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
blocking allocations much too early.

So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
(which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'.  kernel_init() is run
in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
will be the first idle thread.

So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
thread into the init thread.

      net: drop NET dependency from HAVE_BPF_JIT · e47b65b0
      Sam Ravnborg authored 
      There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it
forces all users to depend on NET to tell they support BPF_JIT.  Move
the config option to the bottom of the file - this could be a nice place
also for future "selectable" config symbols.

Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not
required to supress warnings for non-NET builds.

      Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

1) Kill off support for sun4c and Cypress sun4m chips.

   And as a result we were able to also kill off that ugly btfixup thing
   that required multi-stage links of the final vmlinux image in the
   Kbuild system.  This should make the kbuild maintainers really happy.

   Thanks a lot to Sam Ravnborg for his tireless efforts to get this
   going.

2) Convert sparc64 to nobootmem.  I suspect now with sparc32 being a lot
   cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
   too.

3) Make sparc32 use generic clockevents, from Tkhai Kirill.

[ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.
  But I don't have - or want - a sparc cross-build environment, so the
  BPF rule bug and the related build cleanup was all done with just a
  bare "make -n" pseudo-test.      - Linus ]

      Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
    goto.

 2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
    Gortmaker.

 3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
    Cochran and Jacob Keller.

 5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
    ethtool, from Richard Cochran.

 6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko.  Part
    of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
    and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.

 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
    uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
    completely but it's used for ISA probing still.

 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc.  I know, who cares, right? :-)

 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
    mode interfaces in the sysctl code.  From Eric W Biederman.

10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
    TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
    well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
    sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE.  There is also a
    TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
    enabled on the connection.

11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
    enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.

     a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
        we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().

     b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
        than SLAB kmalloc'd memory.  In particular devices which were
        receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
        data.

    The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
    any more.

12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
    What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
    receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
    doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
    space.

    sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
    so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
    buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.

    Also from Eric Dumazet.

13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
    Chris Elston.

14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
    Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
    threshold under certain conditions.

15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
    Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.

    Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
    are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
    the queue length (which is what RED uses).

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.

More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").

* vfs-cleanups:
  VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
  VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
  x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end

      This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.

This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".

Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().

  vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
  vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

      Merge branch 'vm-cleanups' (unmap_vma() interface cleanup) · dddbd541
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This series sanitizes the interface to unmap_vma().  The crazy interface
annoyed me no end when I was looking at unmap_single_vma(), which we can
spend quite a lot of time in (especially with loads that have a lot of
small fork/exec's: shell scripts etc).

Moving the nr_accounted calculations to where they belong at least
clarifies things a little.  I hope to come back to look at the
performance of this later, but if/when I get back to it I at least don't
have to see the crazy interfaces any more.

* vm-cleanups:
  vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces
  vm: simplify unmap_vmas() calling convention
