If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc
for every read packet, it gives opportunity for
producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly
try adding another packet, causing false sharing.
We can add a simple heuristic to give the signal
by batches of ~25 % of the queue capacity.
This patch considerably increases performance under
flood by about 50 %, since the thread draining the queue
is no longer slowed by false sharing.

In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb
is added to receive queue, because device pointer is no longer
available once we exit from RCU section.
Since this first cache line is always hot, lets reuse this space
to store skb->truesize and thus avoid a cache line miss at
udp_recvmsg()/udp_skb_destructor time while receive queue
spinlock is held.

Idea of busylocks is to let producers grab an extra spinlock
to relieve pressure on the receive_queue spinlock shared by consumer.
This behavior is requested only once socket receive queue is above
half occupancy.
Under flood, this means that only one producer can be in line
trying to acquire the receive_queue spinlock.
These busylock can be allocated on a per cpu manner, instead of a
per socket one (that would consume a cache line per socket)
This patch considerably improves UDP behavior under stress,
depending on number of NIC RX queues and/or RPS spread.

net: qcom/emac: simplify support for different SOCs
On SOCs that have the Qualcomm EMAC network controller, the internal
PHY block is always different. Sometimes the differences are small,
sometimes it might be a completely different IP. Either way, using version
numbers to differentiate them and putting all of the init code in one
file does not scale.
This patchset does two things: The first breaks up the current code into
different files, and the second patch adds support for a third SOC, the
Qualcomm Technologies QDF2400 ARM Server SOC.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The QDF2432 and the QDF2400 have slightly different internal PHYs,
so there are some programming differences. Some of the registers in
the QDF2400 have moved, and some registers require different values
during initialization.
Because of the differences, and because HIDs are a scare resource,
the ACPI tables specify the hardware version in an _HRV property.
Version 1 is the QDF2432, and version 2 is the QDF2400. Any future
SOC that has the same internal PHY but different programming
requirements will be assigned the next available version number.

The internal PHY of the EMAC differs on each SOC, and the list will
only continue to grow. By separating the code into individual files,
we can add support for more SOCs more cleanly.
Note: The internal PHY is also sometimes called the SGMII device.
We also stop referring to the various PHY variations by version number,
so no more "v2", "v3", etc. Instead, the devices are named after the
SOC they are, which is in sync with the device tree property names.
Future patches will probably rearrange more code among the files.

ldt->size can never be negative. The helper functions take 'unsigned int'
arguments which are assigned from ldt->size. The related user space
user_desc struct member entry_number is unsigned as well.
But ldt->size itself and a few local variables which are related to
ldt->size are type 'int' which makes no sense whatsoever and results in
typecasts which make the eyes bleed.
Clean it up and convert everything which is related to ldt->size to

Reorganize the E400 detection now that we have everything in place:
switch the CPUs to broadcast mode after the LAPIC has been initialized
and remove the facilities that were used previously on the idle path.
Unfortunately static_cpu_has_bug() cannpt be used in the E400 idle routine
because alternatives have been applied when the actual detection happens,
so the static switching does not take effect and the test will stay
false. Use boot_cpu_has_bug() instead which is definitely an improvement
over the RDMSR and the cpumask handling.

AMD CPUs affected by the E400 erratum suffer from the issue that the
local APIC timer stops when the CPU goes into C1E. Unfortunately there
is no way to detect the affected CPUs on early boot. It's only possible
to determine the range of possibly affected CPUs from the family/model
range.
The actual decision whether to enter C1E and thus cause the bug is done
by the firmware and we need to detect that case late, after ACPI has
been initialized.
The current solution is to check in the idle routine whether the CPU is
affected by reading the MSR_K8_INT_PENDING_MSG MSR and checking for the
K8_INTP_C1E_ACTIVE_MASK bits. If one of the bits is set then the CPU is
affected and the system is switched into forced broadcast mode.
This is ineffective and on non-affected CPUs every entry to idle does
the extra RDMSR.
After doing some research it turns out that the bits are visible on the
boot CPU right after the ACPI subsystem is initialized in the early
boot process. So instead of polling for the bits in the idle loop, add
a detection function after acpi_subsystem_init() and check for the MSR
bits. If set, then the X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is set on the boot CPU and
the TSC is marked unstable when X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC is not set as it
will stop in C1E state as well.
The switch to broadcast mode cannot be done at this point because the
boot CPU still uses HPET as a clockevent device and the local APIC timer
is not yet calibrated and installed. The switch to broadcast mode on the
affected CPUs needs to be done when the local APIC timer is actually set
up.
This allows to cleanup the amd_e400_idle() function in the next step.

The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E
state) is a two step process:
- Selection of the E400 aware idle routine
- Detection whether the platform is affected
The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on
family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily
affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the
firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot.
The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to
detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected
CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read.
There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time
which requires to seperate the bug flags:
X86_BUG_AMD_E400 - Selects the E400 aware idle routine and
enables the detection
X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E - Set when the platform is affected by E400
Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400
bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional
detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches
to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.

successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to

When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free

Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with

use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211.
This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and

NL80211_ATTR_MAC was used to set both the specific BSSID to be scanned
and the random MAC address to be used when privacy is enabled. When both
the features are enabled, both the BSSID and the local MAC address were
getting same value causing Probe Request frames to go with unintended
DA. Hence, this has been fixed by using a different NL80211_ATTR_BSSID
attribute to set the specific BSSID (which was the more recent addition
in cfg80211) for a scan.
Backwards compatibility with old userspace software is maintained to
some extent by allowing NL80211_ATTR_MAC to be used to set the specific
BSSID when scanning without enabling random MAC address use.
Scanning with random source MAC address was introduced by commit
ad2b26abc157 ("cfg80211: allow drivers to support random MAC addresses

The clocksource delta to nanoseconds conversion is using signed math, but
the delta is unsigned. This makes the conversion space smaller than
necessary and in case of a multiplication overflow the conversion can
become negative. The conversion is done with scaled math:
s64 nsec_delta = ((s64)clkdelta * clk->mult) >> clk->shift;
Shifting a signed integer right obvioulsy preserves the sign, which has
interesting consequences:
- Time jumps backwards
- __iter_div_u64_rem() which is used in one of the calling code pathes
will take forever to piecewise calculate the seconds/nanoseconds part.
This has been reported by several people with different scenarios:
David observed that when stopping a VM with a debugger:
"It was essentially the stopped by debugger case. I forget exactly why,
but the guest was being explicitly stopped from outside, it wasn't just
scheduling lag. I think it was something in the vicinity of 10 minutes
stopped."
When lifting the stop the machine went dead.
The stopped by debugger case is not really interesting, but nevertheless it
would be a good thing not to die completely.
But this was also observed on a live system by Liav:
"When the OS is too overloaded, delta will get a high enough value for the
msb of the sum delta * tkr->mult + tkr->xtime_nsec to be set, and so
after the shift the nsec variable will gain a value similar to
0xffffffffff000000."
Unfortunately this has been reintroduced recently with commit 6bd58f09e1d8
("time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation"). It had been fixed a year
ago already in commit 35a4933a8959 ("time: Avoid signed overflow in
timekeeping_get_ns()").
Though it's not surprising that the issue has been reintroduced because the
function itself and the whole call chain uses s64 for the result and the
propagation of it. The change in this recent commit is subtle:
s64 nsec;
- nsec = (d * m + n) >> s:
+ nsec = d * m + n;
+ nsec >>= s;
d being type of cycle_t adds another level of obfuscation.
This wouldn't have happened if the previous change to unsigned computation
would have made the 'nsec' variable u64 right away and a follow up patch
had cleaned up the whole call chain.
There have been patches submitted which basically did a revert of the above
patch leaving everything else unchanged as signed. Back to square one. This
spawned a admittedly pointless discussion about potential users which rely
on the unsigned behaviour until someone pointed out that it had been fixed
before. The changelogs of said patches added further confusion as they made
finally false claims about the consequences for eventual users which expect
signed results.
Despite delta being cycle_t, aka. u64, it's very well possible to hand in
a signed negative value and the signed computation will happily return the
correct result. But nobody actually sat down and analyzed the code which
was added as user after the propably unintended signed conversion.
Though in sensitive code like this it's better to analyze it proper and
make sure that nothing relies on this than hunting the subtle wreckage half
a year later. After analyzing all call chains it stands that no caller can
hand in a negative value (which actually would work due to the s64 cast)
and rely on the signed math to do the right thing.
Change the conversion function to unsigned math. The conversion of all call
chains is done in a follow up patch.
This solves the starvation issue, which was caused by the negative result,
but it does not solve the underlying problem. It merily procrastinates
it. When the timekeeper update is deferred long enough that the unsigned
multiplication overflows, then time going backwards is observable again.
It does neither solve the issue of clocksources with a small counter width
which will wrap around possibly several times and cause random time stamps
to be generated. But those are usually not found on systems used for
virtualization, so this is likely a non issue.
I took the liberty to claim authorship for this simply because
analyzing all callsites and writing the changelog took substantially
more time than just making the simple s/s64/u64/ change and ignore the
rest.

A string which did not contain a data format specification should be put
into a sequence. Thus use the corresponding function "seq_puts".

In some configurations, gcc cannot trace the state of variables
across a spin_unlock() barrier, leading to a warning about
correct code:
xgene_enet_main.c: In function 'xgene_enet_start_xmit':
../../../phy/mdio-xgene.h:112:14: error: 'mss_index' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
Here we can trivially move the assignment before that spin_unlock,
which reliably avoids the warning.

The array for initializing the cle is set up on the stack with
almost entirely constant data and then passed to a function that
converts it into HW specific bit patterns. With the latest
addition, the size of this array has grown to the point that
we get a warning about potential stack overflow in allmodconfig
builds:
xgene_enet_cle.c: In function ‘xgene_enet_cle_init’:
xgene_enet_cle.c:836:1: error: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Looking a bit deeper at the usage, I noticed that the only modification
of the data is in dead code, as we don't even use the cle module
for phy_mode other than PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_XGMII. This means we
can simply mark the structure constant and access it directly rather
than passing the pointer down through another structure, making
the code more efficient at the same time as avoiding the
warning.

The patch from me fixes a crash at boot inside the TLB measuring code

At bootup we run measurements to calculate the best threshold for when we
should be using full TLB flushes instead of just flushing a specific amount of
TLB entries. This performance test is run over the kernel text segment.
But running this TLB performance test on the kernel text segment turned out to
crash some SMP machines when the kernel text pages were mapped as huge pages.
To avoid those crashes this patch simply skips this test on some SMP machines
and calculates an optimal threshold based on the maximum number of available
TLB entries and number of online CPUs.
On a technical side, this seems to happen:
The TLB measurement code uses flush_tlb_kernel_range() to flush specific TLB
entries with a page size of 4k (pdtlb 0(sr1,addr)). On UP systems this purge
instruction seems to work without problems even if the pages were mapped as
huge pages. But on SMP systems the TLB purge instruction is broadcasted to
other CPUs. Those CPUs then crash the machine because the page size is not as
expected. C8000 machines with PA8800/PA8900 CPUs were not affected by this
problem, because the required cache coherency prohibits to use huge pages at
all. Sadly I didn't found any documentation about this behaviour, so this
finding is purely based on testing with phyiscal SMP machines (A500-44 and
J5000, both were 2-way boxes).

pull request: bluetooth-next 2016-12-08
I didn't miss your "net-next is closed" email, but it did come as a bit
of a surprise, and due to time-zone differences I didn't have a chance
to react to it until now. We would have had a couple of patches in
bluetooth-next that we'd still have wanted to get to 4.10.
Out of these the most critical one is the H7/CT2 patch for Bluetooth
Security Manager Protocol, something that couldn't be published before
the Bluetooth 5.0 specification went public (yesterday). If these really
can't go to net-next we'll likely be sending at least this patch through
bluetooth.git to net.git for rc1 inclusion.
