<title>net: phy: Allow building mdio-boardinfo into the kernel</title>

<content type='text'>
mdio-boardinfo contains code that is helpful for platforms to register
specific MDIO bus devices independent of how CONFIG_MDIO_DEVICE or
CONFIG_PHYLIB will be selected (modular or built-in). In order to make
that possible, let's do the following:

- descend into drivers/net/phy/ unconditionally

- make mdiobus_setup_mdiodev_from_board_info() take a callback argument
  which allows us not to expose the internal MDIO board info list and
  mutex, yet maintain the logic within the same file

- relocate the code that creates a MDIO device into
  drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c

- build mdio-boardinfo.o into the kernel as soon as MDIO_DEVICE is
  defined (y or m)

Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs")
Fixes: 648ea0134069 ("net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices")

Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building
the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet
PHY library and devices code.

PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are
updated to reflect that.

When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we
have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a
module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is
unclear.

When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble
everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty
circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which
are really tough to untangle.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds a tap character device driver that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.

macvtap module has code for tap/queue management and link management. This patch splits
the code into macvtap_main.c for link management and tap.c for tap/queue management.
Functionality in tap.c can be re-used for implementing tap on other virtual interfaces.

<title>gtp: add initial driver for datapath of GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U)</title>

<content type='text'>
This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.

This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.

For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].

Only IPv4 is supported at this time.

This patch adds the basic code of FUJITSU Extended Socket
Network Device driver.

When "PNP0C02" is found in ACPI DSDT, it evaluates "_STR"
to check if "PNP0C02" is for Extended Socket device driver
and retrieves ACPI resource information. Then creates
platform_device.

<content type='text'>
This driver borrows heavily from IPvlan and teaming drivers.

Routing domains (VRF-lite) are created by instantiating a VRF master
device with an associated table and enslaving all routed interfaces that
participate in the domain. As part of the enslavement, all connected
routes for the enslaved devices are moved to the table associated with
the VRF device. Outgoing sockets must bind to the VRF device to function.

Standard FIB rules bind the VRF device to tables and regular fib rule
processing is followed. Routed traffic through the box, is forwarded by
using the VRF device as the IIF and following the IIF rule to a table
that is mated with the VRF.

Example:

   Create vrf 1:
     ip link add vrf1 type vrf table 5
     ip rule add iif vrf1 table 5
     ip rule add oif vrf1 table 5
     ip route add table 5 prohibit default
     ip link set vrf1 up

   Add interface to vrf 1:
     ip link set eth1 master vrf1
