For many sun4v processor types, reading or writing a privileged register has a latency of 40 to 70 cycles. Use a combination of the low-latency allclean, otherw, normalw, and nop instructions in etrap and rtrap to replace 2 rdpr and 5 wrpr instructions and improve etrap/rtrap performance. allclean, otherw, and normalw are available on NG2 and later processors.

Nitin Gupta says: ==================== sparc64: Add 16GB hugepage support SPARC architecture supports 16G hugepages but the kernel did not support these. This patch series adds support for it and also cleanes up some page walk/alloc functions. Patch 1/3: Core changes needed to add 16G hugepage support: To map a single 16G hugepage, two PUD entries are used. Each PUD entry maps 8G portion of a 16G page. This page table encoding scheme is same as that used for hugepages at PMD level (8M, 256M and 2G pages) where each PMD entry points successively to 8M regions within a page. No page table entries below the PUD level are allocated for 16G hugepage since those are not required. TSB entries for a 16G page are created at every 4M boundary since the HUGE_TSB is used for these pages which is configured with page size of 4M. When walking page tables (on a TSB miss), bits [32:22] are transferred from vaddr to PUD to resolve addresses at 4M boundary. The resolved address mapping is then stored in HUGE_TSB. Patch 2/3: get_user_pages() etc. are used for direct IO. These functions were not aware of hugepages at the PUD level and would try to continue walking page tables beyond the PUD level. Since 16G hugepages have page tables allocated till PUD level only, these accesses would result in invalid access. This patch adds the case for PUD huge pages to these functions. Patch 3/3: Patch 1 added the case of PUD entry being huge in page table walk and alloc functions. This new case further increased nesting in these functions and made them harder to follow. This patch flattens these functions for better readability.

When iteratively building a UDP datagram with MSG_MORE and that datagram exceeds MTU, consistently choose UFO or fragmentation. Once skb_is_gso, always apply ufo. Conversely, once a datagram is split across multiple skbs, do not consider ufo. Sendpage already maintains the first invariant, only add the second. IPv6 does not have a sendpage implementation to modify. A gso skb must have a partial checksum, do not follow sk_no_check_tx in udp_send_skb. Found by syzkaller.

Commit 55917a21 ("netfilter: x_tables: add context to know if extension runs from nft_compat") introduced a member nft_compat to xt_tgchk_param structure. But it didn't set it's value for ipt_init_target. With unexpected value in par.nft_compat, it may return unexpected result in some target's checkentry. This patch is to set all it's fields as 0 and only initialize the non-zero fields in ipt_init_target. v1->v2: As Wang Cong's suggestion, fix it by setting all it's fields as 0 and only initializing the non-zero fields.

Commit dcd87999 ("igmp: net: Move igmp namespace init to correct file") moved the igmp sysctls initialization from tcp_sk_init to igmp_net_init. This function is only called as part of per-namespace initialization, only if CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is defined, otherwise igmp_mc_init() call in ip_init is compiled out, casuing the igmp pernet ops to not be registerd and those sysctl being left initialized with 0. However, there are certain functions, such as ip_mc_join_group which are always compiled and make use of some of those sysctls. Let's do a partial revert of the aforementioned commit and move the sysctl initialization into inet_init_net, that way they will always have sane values.

When a link between two nodes come up, both endpoints will initially send out a STATE message to the peer, to increase the probability that the peer endpoint also is up when the first traffic message arrives. Thereafter, if the establishing link is the second link between two nodes, this first "traffic" message is a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL/SYNCH message, helping the peer to perform initial synchronization between the two links. However, the initial STATE message may be lost, in which case the SYNCH message will be the first one arriving at the peer. This should also work, as the SYNCH message itself will be used to take up the link endpoint before initializing synchronization. Unfortunately the code for this case is broken. Currently, the link is brought up through a tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) when a SYNCH arrives, whereupon __tipc_node_link_up() is called to distribute the link slots and take the link into traffic. But, __tipc_node_link_up() is itself starting with a test for whether the link is up, and if true, returns without action. Clearly, the tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) call is unnecessary, since tipc_node_link_up() is itself issuing such an event, but also harmful, since it inhibits tipc_node_link_up() to perform the test of its tasks, and the link endpoint in question hence is never taken into traffic. This problem has been exposed when we set up dual links between pre- and post-4.4 kernels, because the former ones don't send out the initial STATE message described above. We fix this by removing the unnecessary event call. Signed-off-by:
