Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixups on top of the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
  regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq ppc-corenet), other bug fixes
  (ACPI reset, cpufreq), new PM trace points for system suspend
  profiling and a copyright notice update.

  Specifics:

   - I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video
     patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight
     default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that.
     Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
     make that change for real now.

   - ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause the
     bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
     because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
     subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
     ACPI device objects.  Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
     too as appropriate.

   - Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
     driver that breaks arm64 builds.

   - Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
     during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
     from do_div instead of the quotient.  From Ed Swarthout.

   - Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
     systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
     space.  Fix from Randy Wright.

   - Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
     them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
     used by them for CPU load sampling.  From Srivatsa S Bhat.

   - Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
     frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
     different from both the initial and target frequencies during
     transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
     sometimes.  From Viresh Kumar.

   - New trace points and rework of some existing trace points for
     system suspend/resume profiling from Todd Brandt.

When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.

The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.

iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").

The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)

We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.

With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

net: fec: Enable Software TSO to improve the tx performance

Add SG and software TSO support for FEC.
This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance.
Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows:
        * 82% improvement comparing with NO SG & TSO patch

$ ethtool -K eth0 sg on
$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on
[  3] local 10.192.242.108 port 35388 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 3.0 sec   181 MBytes   506 Mbits/sec
* cpu loading is 30%

$ ethtool -K eth0 sg off
$ ethtool -K eth0 tso off
[  3] local 10.192.242.108 port 52618 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 3.0 sec  99.5 MBytes   278 Mbits/sec

FEC HW support IP header and TCP/UDP hw checksum, support multi buffer descriptor transfer
one frame, but don't support HW TSO. And imx6q/dl SOC FEC Gbps speed has HW bus Bandwidth
limitation (400Mbps ~ 700Mbps), imx6sx SOC FEC Gbps speed has no HW bandwidth limitation.

The patch set just enable TSO feature, which is done following the mv643xx_eth driver.

Test result analyze:
imx6dl sabresd board: there have 82% improvement, since imx6dl FEC HW has bandwidth limitation,
                      the performance with SW TSO is a milestone.

Addition test:
imx6sx sdb board:
upstream still don't support imx6sx due to some patches being upstream... they use same FEC IP.
Use the SW TSO patches test imx6sx sdb board in internal kernel tree:
No SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 840Mbps, cpu loading is 100%.
SW TSO patch:    tx bandwidth 942Mbps, cpu loading is 65%.
It means the patch set have great improvement for imx6sx FEC performance.

V2:
* From Frank Li's suggestion:
	Change the API "fec_enet_txdesc_entry_free" name to "fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num".
* Summary David Laight and Eric Dumazet's thoughts:
	RX BD entry number change to 256.
* From ezequiel's suggestion:
	Follow the latest TSO fixes from his solution to rework the queue stop/wake-up.
	Avoid unmapping the TSO header buffers.
* From Eric Dumazet's suggestion:
	Avoid more bytes copy, just copying the unaligned part of the payload into first
	descriptor. The suggestion will bring more complex for the driver, and imx6dl FEC
	DMA need 16 bytes alignment, but cpu loading is not problem that cpu loading is
	30%, the current performance is so better. Later chip like imx6sx Gigbit FEC DMA
	support byte alignment, so there don't exist memory copy. So, the V2 version drop
	the suggestion.
	Anyway, thanks for Eric's response and suggestion.

V3:
* From David Laight's feedback:
	Decide to drop RX BD entry number change for the SW TSO patch set.
	I will generate one separate patch to increase RX BDs entry for interrupt coalescing feature which
	will be supported in my later patch set.

V4:
* From David Laight's feedback:
	Remove the conditional in .fec_enet_get_bd_index().

V5:
* Patch #4 update:
  From David Laight's feedback:
	"expect fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num() to return one less than it does currently."
	Change the function:
	Return space available, 0..size-1.  it always leave one free entry. Which is same as linux circ_buf.

Thanks for Eric and ezequiel's help and idea.

Add software TSO support for FEC.
This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance.

Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows:
- 16.2% improvement comparing with FEC SG patch
- 82% improvement comparing with NO SG & TSO patch

$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on
$ iperf -c 10.192.242.167 -t 3 &
[  3] local 10.192.242.108 port 35388 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 3.0 sec   181 MBytes   506 Mbits/sec

During the testing, CPU loading is 30%.
Since imx6dl FEC Bandwidth is limited to SOC system bus bandwidth, the
performance with SW TSO is a milestone.

IP header checksum is calcalated by network layer in default.
To support software TSO, it is better to use HW calculate the
IP header checksum.

FEC hw checksum feature request the checksum field in frame
is zero, otherwise the calculative CRC is not correct.

For segmentated TCP packet, HW calculate the IP header checksum again,
it doesn't bring any impact. For SW TSO, HW calculated checksum bring
better performance.

Some fields in "struct net_bridge" aren't available when compiling the
kernel without IPv6 support. Therefore adding a check/macro to skip the

"New smatch warnings:

    we previously assumed 'group' could be null (see line 1349)"

In the rare (sort of broken) case of a query having a Maximum
Response Delay of zero, we could create a potential null pointer
dereference.

Fixing this by skipping the multicast specific MLD Query parsing again
if no multicast group address is available.

A malicious VF might try to starve the other VFs & PF by creating
contineous doorbell floods. In order to negate this, HW has a threshold of
doorbells per client, which will stop the client doorbells from arriving
if crossed.

The threshold currently configured for VFs is too low - under extreme traffic
scenarios, it's possible for a VF to reach the threshold and thus for its
fastpath to stop working.

Consider the scenario:
For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in
sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check,
a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards,
some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to
free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(),
sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial
value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535,
a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations
afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the
accept queue as full.
Fix this issue by only decrementing sk_ack_backlog for associations in
the endpoint's list.
