Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The tree got pretty big in this development cycle, but the net effect
is pretty good:
115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-)
The main changes were:
- Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex
primitives. (Peter Zijlstra)
- Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the
preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,
Christian Borntraeger)
- Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to
clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core
kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger)
- Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)
- Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)
- Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived
bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner)
- Misc fixes, cleanups"

The driver currently always sets the PBLx8/PBLx4 bit, which means that
the pbl values configured via the pbl/txpbl/rxpbl DT properties are
always multiplied by 8/4 in the hardware.
In order to allow the DT to configure lower pbl values, while at the
same time not changing behavior of any existing device trees using the
pbl/txpbl/rxpbl settings, add a property to disable the multiplication
of the pbl by 8/4 in the hardware.

GMAC and newer supports independent programmable burst lengths for
DMA tx/rx. Add new optional devicetree properties representing this.
To be backwards compatible, snps,pbl will still be valid, but
snps,txpbl/snps,rxpbl will override the value in snps,pbl if set.
If the IP is synthesized to use the AXI interface, there is a register
and a matching DT property inside the optional stmmac-axi-config DT node
for controlling burst lengths, named snps,blen.
However, using this register, it is not possible to control tx and rx
independently. Also, this register is not available if the IP was
synthesized with, e.g., the AHB interface.

snps,tso was previously placed under AXI BUS Mode parameters,
suggesting that the property should be in the stmmac-axi-config node.
TSO (TCP Segmentation Offloading) has nothing to do with AXI BUS Mode
parameters, and the parser actually expects it to be in the root node,
not in the stmmac-axi-config.
Also added a note about snps,tso only being available on GMAC4 and newer.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains a large Netfilter update for net-next,
to summarise:
1) Add support for stateful objects. This series provides a nf_tables
native alternative to the extended accounting infrastructure for
nf_tables. Two initial stateful objects are supported: counters and
quotas. Objects are identified by a user-defined name, you can fetch
and reset them anytime. You can also use a maps to allow fast lookups
using any arbitrary key combination. More info at:
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=148029128323837&w=2
2) On-demand registration of nf_conntrack and defrag hooks per netns.
Register nf_conntrack hooks if we have a stateful ruleset, ie.
state-based filtering or NAT. The new nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl
enables this from newly created netnamespaces. Default behaviour is not
modified. Patches from Florian Westphal.
3) Allocate 4k chunks and then use these for x_tables counter allocation
requests, this improves ruleset load time and also datapath ruleset
evaluation, patches from Florian Westphal.
4) Add support for ebpf to the existing x_tables bpf extension.
From Willem de Bruijn.
5) Update layer 4 checksum if any of the pseudoheader fields is updated.
This provides a limited form of 1:1 stateless NAT that make sense in
specific scenario, eg. load balancing.
6) Add support to flush sets in nf_tables. This series comes with a new
set->ops->deactivate_one() indirection given that we have to walk
over the list of set elements, then deactivate them one by one.
The existing set->ops->deactivate() performs an element lookup that
we don't need.
7) Two patches to avoid cloning packets, thus speed up packet forwarding
via nft_fwd from ingress. From Florian Westphal.
8) Two IPVS patches via Simon Horman: Decrement ttl in all modes to
prevent infinite loops, patch from Dwip Banerjee. And one minor
refactoring from Gao feng.
9) Revisit recent log support for nf_tables netdev families: One patch
to ensure that we correctly handle non-ethernet packets. Another
patch to add missing logger definition for netdev. Patches from
Liping Zhang.
10) Three patches for nft_fib, one to address insufficient register
initialization and another to solve incorrect (although harmless)
byteswap operation. Moreover update xt_rpfilter and nft_fib to match
lbcast packets with zeronet as source, eg. DHCP Discover packets
(0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255). Also from Liping Zhang.
11) Built-in DCCP, SCTP and UDPlite conntrack and NAT support, from
Davide Caratti. While DCCP is rather hopeless lately, and UDPlite has
been broken in many-cast mode for some little time, let's give them a
chance by placing them at the same level as other existing protocols.
Thus, users don't explicitly have to modprobe support for this and
NAT rules work for them. Some people point to the lack of support in
SOHO Linux-based routers that make deployment of new protocols harder.
I guess other middleboxes outthere on the Internet are also to blame.
Anyway, let's see if this has any impact in the midrun.
12) Skip software SCTP software checksum calculation if the NIC comes
with SCTP checksum offload support. From Davide Caratti.
13) Initial core factoring to prepare conversion to hook array. Three
patches from Aaron Conole.
14) Gao Feng made a wrong conversion to switch in the xt_multiport
extension in a patch coming in the previous batch. Fix it in this
batch.
15) Get vmalloc call in sync with kmalloc flags to avoid a warning
and likely OOM killer intervention from x_tables. From Marcelo
Ricardo Leitner.
16) Update Arturo Borrero's email address in all source code headers.

The cyclecounter mult and shift values can be calculated based on the
CPTS rfclk frequency and timekeepnig framework provides required algos
and API's.
Hence, calc mult and shift basing on CPTS rfclk frequency if both
cpts_clock_shift and cpts_clock_mult properties are not provided in DT (the
basis of calculation algorithm is borrowed from
__clocksource_update_freq_scale() commit 7d2f944a2b83 ("clocksource:
Provide a generic mult/shift factor calculation")). After this change
cpts_clock_shift and cpts_clock_mult DT properties will become optional.

Add three reset control signals, "mac_core_rst", "mac_ifc_rst" and

----------
The "mac_core_rst" represents "mac core reset signal", it resets
the mac core including packet processing unit, descriptor processing unit,
tx engine, rx engine, control unit.
The "mac_ifc_rst" represents "mac interface reset signal", it resets
the mac interface. The mac interface unit connects mac core and
data interface like MII/RMII/RGMII. After we set a new value of
interface mode, we must reset mac interface to reload the new mode value.
The "mac_core_rst" and "mac_ifc_rst" are both optional to be
backward compatible with the hix5hd2 SoC.
The "phy_rst" represents "phy reset signal", it does a hardware reset
on the PHY chip. This reset signal is optional if the PHY can work well
without the hardware reset.
Add one more clock signal, the existing is MAC core clock,
and the new one is MAC interface clock.
The MAC interface clock is optional to be backward compatible with
the hix5hd2 SoC.

This switch (default on) can be used to disable automatic registration
of connection tracking functionality in newly created network
namespaces.
This means that when net namespace goes down (or the tracker protocol
module is unloaded) we *might* have to unregister the hooks.
We can either add another per-netns variable that tells if
the hooks got registered by default, or, alternatively, just call
the protocol _put() function and have the callee deal with a possible
'extra' put() operation that doesn't pair with a get() one.
This uses the latter approach, i.e. a put() without a get has no effect.
Conntrack is still enabled automatically regardless of the new sysctl
setting if the new net namespace requires connection tracking, e.g. when
NAT rules are created.

Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD.
IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary
loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random
nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the
same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored.
RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of
conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

Couple conflicts resolved here:
1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
to support variable sized rings.
2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.
3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
and reorganized in 'net-next'.
4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
tc_skip_sw().
5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
unrelated changes in 'net-next'.
6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no
longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

Armada 3700 is a new ARMv8 SoC from Marvell using same network controller
as older Armada 370/38x/XP. There are however some differences that
needed taking into account when adding support for it:
* open default MBUS window to 4GB of DRAM - Armada 3700 SoC's Mbus
configuration for network controller has to be done on two levels:
global and per-port. The first one is inherited from the
bootloader. The latter can be opened in a default way, leaving
arbitration to the bus controller. Hence filled mbus_dram_target_info
structure is not needed
* make per-CPU operation optional - Recent patches adding RSS and XPS
support for Armada 38x/XP enabled per-CPU operation of the controller
by default. Contrary to older SoC's Armada 3700 SoC's network
controller is not capable of per-CPU processing due to interrupt lines'
connectivity. This patch restores non-per-CPU operation, which is now
optional and depends on neta_armada3700 flag value in mvneta_port
structure. In order not to complicate the code, separate interrupt
subroutine is implemented.
For now, on the Armada 3700, RSS is disabled as the current
implementation depend on the per cpu interrupts.

Eric says: "By looking at tcpdump, and TS val of xmit packets of multiple
flows, we can deduct the relative qdisc delays (think of fq pacing).
This should work even if we have one flow per remote peer."
Having random per flow (or host) offsets doesn't allow that anymore so add
a way to turn this off.

Netfilter fixes for net
This is a large batch of Netfilter fixes for net, they are:
1) Three patches to fix NAT conversion to rhashtable: Switch to rhlist
structure that allows to have several objects with the same key.
Moreover, fix wrong comparison logic in nf_nat_bysource_cmp() as this is
expecting a return value similar to memcmp(). Change location of
the nat_bysource field in the nf_conn structure to avoid zeroing
this as it breaks interaction with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and lead us
to crashes. From Florian Westphal.
2) Don't allow malformed fragments go through in IPv6, drop them,
otherwise we hit GPF, patch from Florian Westphal.
3) Fix crash if attributes are missing in nft_range, from Liping Zhang.
4) Fix arptables 32-bits userspace 64-bits kernel compat, from Hongxu Jia.
5) Two patches from David Ahern to fix netfilter interaction with vrf.
From David Ahern.
6) Fix element timeout calculation in nf_tables, we take milliseconds
from userspace, but we use jiffies from kernelspace. Patch from
Anders K. Pedersen.
7) Missing validation length netlink attribute for nft_hash, from
Laura Garcia.
8) Fix nf_conntrack_helper documentation, we don't default to off
anymore for a bit of time so let's get this in sync with the code.
I know is late but I think these are important, specifically the NAT
bits, as they are mostly addressing fallout from recent changes. I also
read there are chances to have -rc8, if that is the case, that would
also give us a bit more time to test this.

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.
To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

configuration hints. Document what are the expectations from PHYLIB and
what options exist.

Describe that the Ethernet MAC controller is ultimately responsible for
dealing with proper pause frames/flow control advertisement and
enabling, and that it is therefore allowed to have it change
phydev->supported/advertising with SUPPORTED_Pause and
SUPPORTED_AsymPause.

Remove the function pointers documentation which duplicates information
found in include/linux/phy.h. Maintaining documentation about two
different locations just does not work, but the code is less likely to
be outdated.

RGMII requires special RX and/or TX delays depending on the actual
hardware circuit/wiring. These delays can be added by the MAC, the PHY
or the designer of the circuit (the latter means that no delay has to
be added by PHY or MAC).
There are 4 RGMII phy-modes used describe where a delay should be
applied:
- rgmii: the RX and TX delays are either added by the MAC (where the
exact delay is typically configurable, and can be turned off when no
extra delay is needed) or not needed at all (because the hardware
wiring adds the delay already). The PHY should neither add the RX nor
TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-rxid: configures the PHY to enable the RX delay. The MAC should
not add the RX delay in this case.
- rgmii-txid: configures the PHY to enable the TX delay. The MAC should
not add the TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-id: combines rgmii-rxid and rgmii-txid and thus configures the
PHY to enable the RX and TX delays. The MAC should neither add the RX
nor TX delay in this case.
Document these cases in the ethernet.txt documentation to make it clear
when to use each mode.
If applied incorrectly one might end up with MAC and PHY both enabling
for example the TX delay, which breaks ethernet TX traffic on 1000Mbit/s
links.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

Commit ("x86/kvm: support vCPU preemption check") added a new
struct kvm_steal_time::preempted field. This field tells us if
a vCPU is running or not.
It is zero if some old KVM does not support this field or if the vCPU
is not preempted. Other values means the vCPU has been preempted.

Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC
and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This
however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide
a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK
semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock
is stable across all VCPUs.

Fixes for omaps for v4.9-rc cycle. Except for the omap3 fix for the SoC
features printed, all these are quite trivial and tiny. The omap5 jack
detection and gpadc patches are not strictly fixes, but I wanted to get
binding document typo fixed before it pops up on other boards. The
gpadc one liner was in the same series and I applied and pushed it out
already before noticing it could have waited. The list of changes is:
- Fix omap3 SoC features printed
- Make sure OMAP_INTERCONNECT is selected for am43xx only configurations
- Add missing memory node for torpedo
- Initialize uart4_mask properly to avoid writing garbage to PRM registers
- Fix NULL pointer dereference for omap4 volt_data
- Add alias for omap5 gpadc needed by iio drivers

The Aspeed SoCs have two BT interfaces : one is IPMI compliant and the
other is H8S/2168 compliant.
The current ipmi/bt-bmc driver implements the IPMI version and we
should reflect its nature in the compatible node name using
'aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc' instead of 'aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc'. The
latter should be used for a H8S interface driver if it is implemented
one day.
