commit 01e84c70fe40c8111f960987bcf7f931842e6d07 upstream.

xtensa actually uses sync_file_range2 implementation, so it should
define __NR_sync_file_range2 as other architectures that use that
function. That fixes userspace interface (that apparently never worked)
and avoids special-casing xtensa in libc implementations.
See the thread ending at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/uclibc/2015-February/048833.html
for more details.

commit 2651cc6974d47fc43bef1cd8cd26966e4f5ba306 upstream.

Userspace actually passes single parameter (path name) to the umount
syscall, so new umount just fails. Fix it by requesting old umount
syscall implementation and re-wiring umount to it.

commit f61bf8e7d19e0a3456a7a9ed97c399e4353698dc upstream.

This fixes userspace code that builds on other architectures but fails
on xtensa due to references to structures that other architectures don't
refer to. E.g. this fixes the following issue with python-2.7.8:

  python-2.7.8/Modules/termios.c:861:25: error: invalid application
     of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct serial_multiport_struct'
     {"TIOCSERGETMULTI", TIOCSERGETMULTI},
  python-2.7.8/Modules/termios.c:870:25: error: invalid application
     of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct serial_multiport_struct'
     {"TIOCSERSETMULTI", TIOCSERSETMULTI},
  python-2.7.8/Modules/termios.c:900:24: error: invalid application
     of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct tty_struct'
     {"TIOCTTYGSTRUCT", TIOCTTYGSTRUCT},

<title>net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS</title>

<id>ea02f9411d9faa3553ed09ce0ec9f00ceae9885e</id>
<content type='text'>
For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's
currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported
by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return
-EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all
extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient.

Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as
an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information
about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel.

As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right
now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this
versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later
additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the
bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

<title>net: introduce SO_MAX_PACING_RATE</title>

<content type='text'>
As mentioned in commit afe4fd062416b ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet
scheduler"), this patch adds a new socket option.

SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.

u32 val = 1000000;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &amp;val, sizeof(val));

To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.

Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
if any.

I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.

<title>net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

-v2-
* Added the SO_SELECT_ERR_QUEUE socket option to every architechture specific file
* Modified every socket poll function that checks error queue
