[ Upstream commit 2ad5d52d42810bed95100a3d912679d8864421ec ]

In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG &gt; 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if
BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.

Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead.  Since we now
#include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution
by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not
exported to userspace.

This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.

[ Upstream commit 3eb53b20d7bd1374598cfb1feaa081fcac0e76cd ]

When building gccgo in userspace, errno.h gets parsed and the go include file
sysinfo.go is generated.

Since EREFUSED is defined to the same value as ECONNREFUSED, and ECONNREFUSED
is defined later on in errno.h, this leads to go complaining that EREFUSED
isn't defined yet.

Fix this trivial problem by moving the define of EREFUSED down after
ECONNREFUSED in errno.h (and clean up the indenting while touching this line).

[ Upstream commit e60fc5aa608eb38b47ba4ee058f306f739eb70a0 ]

On a 64bit kernel build the compiler aligns the _sifields union in the
struct siginfo_t on a 64bit address. The __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE define
compensates for this alignment and thus fixes the wait testcase of the
strace package.

The symptoms of a wrong __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE value is that
_sigchld.si_stime variable is missed to be copied and thus after a
copy_siginfo() will have uninitialized values.

introduce new setsockopt() command:

setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &amp;prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd))

where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
and attr-&gt;prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER

setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.

The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets.

User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge()
which decrements refcnt of eBPF program

A bug fix went into 'net' for ieee802154/fakehard.c, which is removed
in 'net-next'.

Add build fix into the merge from Stephen Rothwell in openvswitch, the
logging macros take a new initial 'log' argument, a new call was added
in 'net' so when we merge that in here we have to explicitly add the
new 'log' arg to it else the build fails.

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.

Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.

Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.

We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.

After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :

 int cpu;
 socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);

 getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &amp;cpu, &amp;len);

And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

Switch over the msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls to use the compat
layer. The problem was found with the debian procenv package, which called
	shmctl(0, SHM_INFO, &amp;info);
in which the shmctl syscall then overwrote parts of the surrounding areas on
the stack on which the info variable was stored and thus lead to a segfault
later on.

Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like
the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a
32bit userspace up to now.
