System ports are unique identifiers in a multi-ASIC environment that
represent all the available ports in the system. Local ports on the
other hand, are unique only within the local ASIC.

Since system port to local port mapping is not part of the HW-SW
contract and since only single-ASIC configurations are currently
supported, set an explicit 1:1 mapping by configuring the Switch System
Port Record (SSPR) register.

RFC 4182 s2 states that if an IPv4 Explicit NULL label is the only
label on the stack, then after popping the resulting packet must be
treated as a IPv4 packet and forwarded based on the IPv4 header. The
same is true for IPv6 Explicit NULL with an IPv6 packet following.

Therefore, when installing the IPv4/IPv6 Explicit NULL label routes,
add an attribute that specifies the expected payload type for use at
forwarding time for determining the type of the encapsulated packet
instead of inspecting the first nibble of the packet.

bpf: Introduce the new ability of eBPF programs to access hardware PMU counter

This patchset is base on the net-next:
 git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git
commit 9dc20a64.

Previous patch v6 url:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/4/188

changes in V7:
 - rebase the whole patch set to net-next tree(9dc20a64);
 - split out the core perf APIs into Patch 1/5;
 - change the return value of function perf_event_attrs()
   from struct perf_event * to const struct perf_event * in
   Patch 1/5;
 - rename the function perf_event_read_internal() to perf_event_
   read_local() and rewrite it in Patch 1/5;
 - rename the function check_func_limit() to check_map_func
   _compatibility() and remove the unnecessary pass pointer to
   a pointer in Patch 4/5;

changes in V6:
 - make the Patch 1/4 commit message more meaning and readable;
 - remove the unnecessary comment in Patch 2/4 and make it clean;
 - declare the function perf_event_release_kernel() in include/
   linux/perf_event.h to fix the build error when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS
   isn't configured in Patch 2/4;
 - add function perf_event_attrs() to get the struct perf_event_attr
   in Patch 2/4.
 - move the related code from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c to kernel/
   events/core.c and add function perf_event_read_internal() to
   avoid poking inside of the event outside of perf code in Patch 3/4;
 - generial the func & map match-pair with an array in Patch 3/4;

changes in V5:
 - move struct fd_array_map_ops* fd_ops to bpf_map;
 - move array perf event decrement refcnt function to
   map_free;
 - fix the NULL ptr of perf_event_get();
 - move bpf_perf_event_read() to kernel/bpf/bpf_trace.c;
 - get rid of the remaining struct bpf_prog;
 - move the unnecessay cast on void *;

changes in V4:
 - make the bpf_prog_array_map more generic;
 - fix the bug of event refcnt leak;
 - use more useful errno in bpf_perf_event_read();

changes in V3:
 - collapse V2 patches 1-3 into one;
 - drop the function map->ops->map_traverse_elem() and release
   the struct perf_event in map_free;
 - only allow to access bpf_perf_event_read() from programs;
 - update the perf_event_array_map elem via xchg();
 - pass index directly to bpf_perf_event_read() instead of
   MAP_KEY;

changes in V2:
 - put atomic_long_inc_not_zero() between fdget() and fdput();
 - limit the event type to PERF_TYPE_RAW and PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE;
 - Only read the event counter on current CPU or on current
   process;
 - add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY to store the
   pointer to the struct perf_event;
 - according to the perf_event_map_fd and key, the function
   bpf_perf_event_read() can get the Hardware PMU counter value;

Patch 5/5 is a simple example and shows how to use this new eBPF
programs ability. The PMU counter data can be found in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace(trace_pipe).(the cycles PMU
value when 'kprobe/sys_write' sampling)

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: support switchdev FDB objects

This patchset refactors the DSA and mv88e6xxx code to use the switchdev FDB
objects.

The first two patches add minor but necessary changes to switchdev, the third
one implements the switchdev glue in DSA for FDB routines, and the remaining
ones refactor the FDB access functions in the mv88e6xxx code.

Below is an usage example (ports 0-2 belongs to br0, ports 3-4 belongs to br1):

    # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:30:6e dev swp2
    # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:40:78 dev swp3
    # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:50:86 dev swp4
    # bridge fdb del 3c:97:0e:11:40:78 dev swp3
    # bridge fdb
    01:00:5e:00:00:01 dev eth0 self permanent
    01:00:5e:00:00:01 dev eth1 self permanent
    00:50:d2:10:78:15 dev swp0 master br0 permanent
    3c:97:0e:11:30:6e dev swp2 self static
    00:50:d2:10:78:15 dev swp3 master br1 permanent
    3c:97:0e:11:50:86 dev swp4 self static
    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dsa0/atu
    # DB   T/P  Vec State Addr
    # 001  Port 004   e   3c:97:0e:11:30:6e
    # 004  Port 010   e   3c:97:0e:11:50:86

For the 88E6xxx switches, FIDs 1 to num_ports will be reserved for non-bridged
ports and bridge groups, and the remaining will be later used by VLANs.

This change is necessary to welcome the support for hardware VLANs (which will
follow soon).

Changes in v2:

 - remove ndo_bridge_{get,set,del}link from switchdev/DSA glue code

 - use ether_addr_copy instead of memcpy for MAC addresses

 - constify MAC address in port_fdb_{add,del}

 - split the mv88e6xxx code refactoring into several patches

2. Map is cleared by second thread, old_map set to that just assigned

RDS-TCP: Network namespace support

This patch series contains the set of changes to correctly set up
the infra for PF_RDS sockets that use TCP as the transport in multiple
network namespaces.

Patch 1 in the series is the minimal set of changes to allow
a single instance of RDS-TCP to run in any (i.e init_net or other) net
namespace.  The changes in this patch set ensure that the execution of
'modprobe [-r] rds_tcp' sets up the kernel TCP sockets
relative to the current netns, so that RDS applications can send/recv
packets from that netns, and the netns can later be deleted cleanly.

Patch 2 of the series further allows multiple RDS-TCP instances,
one per network namespace. The changes in this patch allows dynamic
creation/tear-down of RDS-TCP client and server sockets  across all
current and future namespaces.

v2 changes from RFC sent out earlier:

    patch 3 broken off and submitted separately.

Enable keepalive on both accept and connect socket endpoints.
The keepalive timer expiration will ensure that client socket
endpoints will be removed as appropriate from the netns when
an interface is removed from a namespace.

sockets (and thus avoid the need to wait for keepalive timeout)
when the loopback device is unregistered from the netns indicating

The pr_debug family of functions turns into a no-op when -DDEBUG is not
specified, opting instead to call "no_printk", which gets compiled to a
no-op (but retains gcc's nice warnings about printf-style arguments).

The problem with net_dbg_ratelimited is that it is defined to be a
variant of net_ratelimited_function, which expands to essentially:

    if (net_ratelimit())
        pr_debug(fmt, ...);

When DEBUG is not defined, then this becomes,

    if (net_ratelimit())
        ;

This seems benign, except it isn't. Firstly, there's the obvious
overhead of calling net_ratelimit needlessly, which does quite some book
keeping for the rate limiting. Given that the pr_debug and
net_dbg_ratelimited family of functions are sprinkled liberally through
performance critical code, with developers assuming they'll be compiled
out to a no-op most of the time, we certainly do not want this needless
book keeping. Secondly, and most visibly, even though no debug message
is printed when DEBUG is not defined, if there is a flood of
invocations, dmesg winds up peppered with messages such as
"net_ratelimit: 320 callbacks suppressed". This is because our
aforementioned net_ratelimit() function actually prints this text in
some circumstances. It's especially odd to see this when there isn't any
other accompanying debug message.

So, in sum, it doesn't make sense to have this function's current
behavior, and instead it should match what every other debug family of
functions in the kernel does with !DEBUG -- nothing.

This patch replaces calls to net_dbg_ratelimited when !DEBUG with
no_printk, keeping with the idiom of all the other debug print helpers.

Also, though not strictly neccessary, it guards the call with an if (0)
so that all evaluation of any arguments are sure to be compiled out.

This introduce a new test->aux flag (FLAG_SKB_FRAG) to tell the
populate_skb() function to add a fragment to the test skb containing
the data specified in test->frag_data).

net/mlx5e: Driver updates 04-Aug-2015

This patchset introduces two features to the ConnectX-4 driver: Patch 8/8
("Support physical port counters") exposes some hardware counters through
ethtool. Rest of the patches are preparation and usage of what we call
light-weight netdev open/close. Some flows that used to be in the ndo_open/stop
are moved to the PCI probe/remove flows - i.e. we will make the netdev
open/close operations more "light-weight".

The benefits of this change are:
1) Reduce the execution time of the stop/open operations.
2) Avoid saving SW shadows of resource configurations that must
   persist through stop/open operations (e.g flow table steering
   rules), and avoid deleting/applying them from/to the device upon
   netdev stop/open.
3) Avoid synchronizing threads that access those resources with the
   netdev stop/open threads.

Instead of create/destroy the resource during netdev open/stop, This patchset
changes the behavior such that upon netdev stop, traffic is redirected to a
"Drop RQ" (a RQ that silently drops, at the NIC HW level all incoming traffic).
After redirecting the traffic, RX/TX software resources could be destroyed.
During netdev open, the RX/TX rings are created and traffic is redirected to
the RX rings.

Patchset was applied and tested over commit ba7591d8 ("ebpf: add skb->hash to
offset map for usage in {cls, act}_bpf or filters")

Now that TIRs, TISs and flow tables are kept alive while the netdev is
stopped (after executing ndo_stop()) we can do the following
improvements:

- Obsolete the active_vlans SW shadow.
- Do not delete/add flow table rules upon ndo_stop/open.
  In addition to simplifying the flow, this change also fastens
  the ndo_open/close operations.
- Obsolete synchronization of threads accessing the flow tables
  with the netdev stop/open threads.
