 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6.  There is quite a
  lot of interesting stuff going on.

  The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
  possible, though I consider things like per-arch &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt; as
  essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.

  Core changes:

   - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*.  Until now the gpio chips
     were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
     space outside of the device model.

     We now finally make GPIO chips devices.  The gpio_chip will create
     a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
     struct is kept private.  Anything that needs to be kept private
     from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
     gpio_device.

   - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
     resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
     overhead and reduce code lines.  A huge slew of patches convert
     almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.

   - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
     a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device.  We take small
     steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
     "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
     lines on these devices.

     We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace.  We still have
     not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.

   - To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
     have it always-enabled when using GPIO.  The old sysfs ABI is still
     opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.

     We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
     be extended to cover ever more use cases.

  Cleanup:

   - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt;
     includes.

     This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
     library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
     provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement.  These
     patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
     leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.

     Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.

   - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
     but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
     the errorpath is sanitized.  Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
     unicore still drop in.

   - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
     implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
     lines.

   - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

   - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

  New drivers:

   - WinSystems WS16C48

   - Acces 104-DIO-48E

   - F81866 (a F7188x variant)

   - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)

   - TS-4800

   - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to
     SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.

   - Texas Instruments TPIC2810

   - Texas Instruments TPS65218

   - Texas Instruments TPS65912

   - X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller"

<title>ipv4: Update parameters for csum_tcpudp_magic to their original types</title>

<id>01cfbad79a5e2b835abf6a8154a341d75a6fc8cd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
on skb-&gt;len which is an unsigned integer.

This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb-&gt;len while
csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
protocol agnostic way to update it.

With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
"(len + proto) &lt;&lt; 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
the inner headers at ~64K in size.

I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
value.

I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
were in sync going forward.

For a long time all architectures implement the pci_dma_* functions using
the generic DMA API, and they all use the same header to do so.

Move this header, pci-dma-compat.h, to include/linux and include it from
the generic pci.h instead of having each arch duplicate this include.

Move the generic implementation to &lt;linux/dma-mapping.h&gt; now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

<title>Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile</title>

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in -&gt;set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls -&gt;set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call -&gt;set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.
