x86: Fix typo preventing msr_set/clear_bit from having an effect

2014-05-09T15:42:32+00:00

Due to a typo the msr accessor function introduced in
22085a66c2fab6cf9b9393c056a3600a6b4735de didn't have any lasting
effects because they accidentally wrote the old value back.

After c0a639ad0bc6b178b46996bd1f821a04643e2bde this at the very least
this causes cpuid limits not to be lifted on some cpus leading to
missing capabilities for those.

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"

x86, hash: Swap arguments passed to crc32_u32()

2014-03-19T23:51:04+00:00

... to match the function's parameters. While reportedly commutative,
using the proper order allows for leveraging the instruction permitting
the source operand to be in memory.

[ hpa: This code originated in the dpdk toolkit.  This was a bug in dpdk
  which has recently been fixed in part due to an earlier version of
  this patch. ]

x86, hash: Fix build failure with older binutils

2014-03-19T23:51:04+00:00

Just like for other ISA extension instruction uses we should check
whether the assembler actually supports them. The fallback here simply
is to encode an instruction  with fixed operands (%eax and %ecx).

x86: Add another set of MSR accessor functions

2014-03-13T22:34:45+00:00

We very often need to set or clear a bit in an MSR as a result of doing
some sort of a hardware configuration. Add generic versions of that
repeated functionality in order to save us a bunch of duplicated code in
the early CPU vendor detection/config code.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.

 2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.

 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.

 4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
    ioctl, add a "get" operation to match.  From Ben Hutchings.

 5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
    from Ben Hutchings.

 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.  Basically, if we
    have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
    device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.

 7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.

 8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
    layers, from Jukka Rissanen.

10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.

11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich.

12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.

13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
    Feldman.

14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
    already get the TCI.  From Atzm Watanabe.

15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.

16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.

17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets.  From Tom
    Herbert.

18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay
    Subramanian.

19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf.

20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination
    address.  From Christoph Paasch.

21) Support 10G in generic phylib.  From Andy Fleming.

22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX
    hash, if provided.  From Tom Herbert.

The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too.

Pull x86 cpufeature and mpx updates from Peter Anvin:
 "This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection
  Extensions) support, but does not include MPX support itself.  It is,
  however, a prerequisite for KVM support for MPX, which I believe will
  be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.

  This includes moving the functionality in
  futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
  can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.

  The actual MPX functionality (map management and so on) will be pushed
  in a future merge window, when ready"
