      Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable · f68e556e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
      same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
      them.  This is preparation for that.
      
      This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
      architecture-specific for two reasons:
      
       - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
         implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
         the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
         likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
         is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
         bit count instruction, for example.
      
       - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
         around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
         particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
         more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
         this.
      
         (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
         this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
         right thing to do, of course)

      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
      
       1) Fix inaccuracies in network driver interface documentation, from Ben
          Hutchings.
      
       2) Fix handling of negative offsets in BPF JITs, from Jan Seiffert.
      
       3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's
          xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
      
       4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other
          datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.
      
       5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.
      
       6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
          and Yuval Mintz.
      
       7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
          size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.
      
       8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
          fix from Thomas Graf.
      
       9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
          Pongratz.
      
      10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
          where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
          pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
          missed in large dumps.
      
          Fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
      11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
          invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
          generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
          settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
      
          Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
          effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
      12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
          socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
          cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
      
          Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
          immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
          to transmit the PPP frame.
      
          But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
          TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
      
          Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
          particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
          only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
          when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
      
          David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
          it's downstream can't take data any more.
      
      14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
          changes, re-add.  From Marc Kleine-Budde.
      
      15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
      
      16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

      Pull "ARM: SoC fixes: from Olof Johansson:
       "A bunch of fixes for regressions (and a few other problems) in
        3.4-rc1:
      
       - Fix for regression of mach/io.h cleanup on platforms with PCI or
         PCMCIA (adding back the include file on those for now)
       - AT91 fixes for usb and spi
       - smsc911x ethernet fixes for i.MX
       - smsc911x fixes for OMAP
       - gpio fixes for Tegra
       - A handful of build error and warning fixes for various platforms
       - cpufreq kconfig dependencies, build and lowlevel debug fixes for
         Samsung platforms
      
        In other words, more or less the regular collection of -rc1/2 type
        material.  A few of them, in particular the smsc911x for OMAP series,
        aren't technically regressions for 3.4, but they're valid fixes and
        we're still relatively early in the rc cycle so it seems appropriate
        to include them."
