jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO network layer

2018-12-15T21:23:02+00:00

This avoids an indirect calls for L3 GRO receive path, both
for ipv4 and ipv6, if the latter is not compiled as a module.

Note that when IPv6 is compiled as builtin, it will be checked first,
so we have a single additional compare for the more common path.

 - adapted to INDIRECT_CALL_ changes

net: dev: Issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

When a device address is about to be changed, or an address added to the
list of device HW addresses, it is necessary to ensure that all
interested parties can support the address. Therefore, send the
NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR notification, and if anyone bails on it, do not
change the address.

net: dev: Add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

The NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification is emitted after a device address
changes. Extending this message to allow vetoing is certainly possible,
but several other notification types have instead adopted a simple
two-stage approach: first a "pre" notification is sent to make sure all
interested parties are OK with a change that's about to be done. Then
the change is done, and afterwards a "post" notification is sent.

This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing
has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back.
Therefore adopt it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well.

To that end, add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR and an info structure to go along
with it.

net: dev: Add extack argument to dev_set_mac_address()

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which
allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that
notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this
function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the
notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be
communicated back to the user.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2018-12-10T05:43:31+00:00

Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place.

I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not
just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely
goes to him.

The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations
past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial
argument in the function call in the moved code.

The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of
making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging
attribute location.

cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or
overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction.

__set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve
because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter
of taking the net-next copy.  Or at least I think it was :-)

Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup()
intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated
in these code paths in net-next.

The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the
__bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions
to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

net: core: dev: Attach extack to NETDEV_PRE_UP

2018-12-06T21:26:07+00:00

Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to
be upped. Should the validation fail, there's currently no way to
communicate details of the failure to the user, beyond an error number.

To mend that, change __dev_open() to take an extack argument and pass it
from __dev_change_flags() and dev_open(), where it was propagated in the
previous patches.

Change __dev_open() to call call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() so that
the passed-in extack is attached to the NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier.

net: core: dev: Add call_netdevice_notifiers_extack()

2018-12-06T21:26:07+00:00

In order to propagate extack through NETDEV_PRE_UP, add a new function
call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() that primes the extack field of the
notifier info. Convert call_netdevice_notifiers() to a simple wrapper
around the new function that passes NULL for extack.

net: core: dev: Add extack argument to __dev_change_flags()

2018-12-06T21:26:07+00:00

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. The last missing API is __dev_change_flags().

Therefore extend __dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and
update the two existing users.

Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the struct
net_device argument to placate checkpatch.
