Add explicit disabling of 440GP IRQ compatibility mode when configuring
440GX interrupt controller.  This helps when board firmware for some reason
uses this compatibility mode and leaves it enabled.  It breaks 440GX
interrupt code because it assumes native 440GX IRQ mode.  People seems to
be continuously bitten by this.

As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I
noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's
time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset.

This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code.  This
patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable:
timezone_offset.

This patch adds the Freescale MPC86xADS board support.  The supported
devices are SMC UART and 10Mbit ethernet on SCC1.

The manual for the board says that it "is compatible with the MPC8xxFADS
for software point of view".  That's why this patch extends FADS instead of
introducing a new platform.

FEC is not supported as the "combined FCC/FEC ethernet driver" driver by
Pantelis Antoniou should replace the current FEC driver.

Congestion window recover after loss depends upon the fact
that if we have a full MSS sized frame at the head of the
send queue, we will send it.  TSO deferral can defeat the
ACK clocking necessary to exit cleanly from recovery.

Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.

The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.

This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal.  It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.

Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant.  These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.

A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side.  Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

Only put user data purely to pages when doing TSO.

The extra page allocations cause two problems:

1) Add the overhead of the page allocations themselves.
2) Make us do small user copies when we get to the end
   of the TCP socket cache page.

It is still beneficial to purely use pages for TSO,
so we will do it for that case.

tcp_snd_test() is run for every packet output by a single
call to tcp_write_xmit(), but this is not necessary.

For one, the congestion window space needs to only be
calculated one time, then used throughout the duration
of the loop.

This cleanup also makes experimenting with different TSO
packetization schemes much easier.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

tcp_snd_test() does several different things, use inline
functions to express this more clearly.

1) It initializes the TSO count of SKB, if necessary.
2) It performs the Nagle test.
3) It makes sure the congestion window is adhered to.
4) It makes sure SKB fits into the send window.

This cleanup also sets things up so that things like the
available packets in the congestion window does not need
to be calculated multiple times by packet sending loops
such as tcp_write_xmit().
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function
as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the
tail of the write_queue.  This is because Nagle does not
apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more
data onto them.

However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes
all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified
'nonagle' value.

Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling
tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL.

As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call
tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized
__tcp_data_snd_check().
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

tcp_write_xmit() uses tcp_current_mss(), but some of it's callers,
namely __tcp_push_pending_frames(), already has this value available
already.

While we're here, fix the "cur_mss" argument to be "unsigned int"
instead of plain "unsigned".

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The tcp_cwnd_validate() function should only be invoked
if we actually send some frames, yet __tcp_push_pending_frames()
will always invoke it.  tcp_write_xmit() does the call for us,
so the call here can simply be removed.

Also, tcp_write_xmit() can be marked static.

This just moves the code into tcp_output.c, no code logic changes are
made by this patch.

Using this as a baseline, we can begin to untangle the mess of
comparisons for the Nagle test et al.  We will also be able to reduce
all of the redundant computation that occurs when outputting data
packets.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

On each packet output, we call tcp_dec_quickack_mode()
if the ACK flag is set.  It drops tp->ack.quick until
it hits zero, at which time we deflate the ATO value.

When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with
ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many
segments.

Note that, unlike this case, tcp_enter_cwr() should not
take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration.  That
function, one time, readjusts tp->snd_cwnd and moves
into TCP_CA_CWR state.

The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.

This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.

So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom().  This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.

Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
  was >= 65536)

reminder of the bugfix:

The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.

With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;

the loop count :

     for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;


overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16  (65536
slots in route cache hash table).

In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all
