<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

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) &amp;&amp; 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.

<title>sock: Make sock-&gt;sk_stamp thread-safe</title>

Al Viro mentioned (Message-ID
&lt;20170626041334.GZ10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk&gt;)
that there is probably a race condition
lurking in accesses of sk_stamp on 32-bit machines.

sock-&gt;sk_stamp is of type ktime_t which is always an s64.
On a 32 bit architecture, we might run into situations of
unsafe access as the access to the field becomes non atomic.

Use seqlocks for synchronization.
This allows us to avoid using spinlocks for readers as
readers do not need mutual exclusion.

Another approach to solve this is to require sk_lock for all
modifications of the timestamps. The current approach allows
for timestamps to have their own lock: sk_stamp_lock.
This allows for the patch to not compete with already
existing critical sections, and side effects are limited
to the paths in the patch.

The addition of the new field maintains the data locality
optimizations from
commit 9115e8cd2a0c ("net: reorganize struct sock for better data
locality")

Note that all the instances of the sk_stamp accesses
are either through the ioctl or the syscall recvmsg.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
      * Much improved polling
      * discard OOM fallback
      * Tracepoint improvements

   - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
      * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
        per LBA can be used as well.
      * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
      * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
      * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
        code.
      * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
      * Small geometry cleanup from me.

   - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
     blk-mq (me)

   - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

   - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

   - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
     blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
     have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
     completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
     Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
     coming in the next release.

   - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)

   - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)

   - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)

   - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)

   - IO priority improvements (Damien)

   - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)

   - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)

   - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)

   - sbitmap scalability improvements (me)

   - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)

   - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)

   - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)

   - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
     (Ming)

   - Lots of other fixes and improvements"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) New ipset extensions for matching on destination MAC addresses, from
    Stefano Brivio.

 2) Add ipv4 ttl and tos, plus ipv6 flow label and hop limit offloads to
    nfp driver. From Stefano Brivio.

 3) Implement GRO for plain UDP sockets, from Paolo Abeni.

 4) Lots of work from Michał Mirosław to eliminate the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT
    bit so that we could support the entire vlan_tci value.

 5) Rework the IPSEC policy lookups to better optimize more usecases,
    from Florian Westphal.

 6) Infrastructure changes eliminating direct manipulation of SKB lists
    wherever possible, and to always use the appropriate SKB list
    helpers. This work is still ongoing...

 7) Lots of PHY driver and state machine improvements and
    simplifications, from Heiner Kallweit.

 8) Various TSO deferral refinements, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Add ntuple filter support to aquantia driver, from Dmitry Bogdanov.

10) Batch dropping of XDP packets in tuntap, from Jason Wang.

11) Lots of cleanups and improvements to the r8169 driver from Heiner
    Kallweit, including support for -&gt;xmit_more. This driver has been
    getting some much needed love since he started working on it.

12) Lots of new forwarding selftests from Petr Machata.

13) Enable VXLAN learning in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

14) Packed ring support for virtio, from Tiwei Bie.

15) Add new Aquantia AQtion USB driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov.

16) Add XDP support to dpaa2-eth driver, from Ioana Ciocoi Radulescu.

17) Implement coalescing on TCP backlog queue, from Eric Dumazet.

18) Implement carrier change in tun driver, from Nicolas Dichtel.

19) Support msg_zerocopy in UDP, from Willem de Bruijn.

20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when
    the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern.

21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility
    completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz
    Shlomo and others.

22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and
    therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the
    NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata.

23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them
    in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni.

24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu.

25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan.

26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of
    the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is
    designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in
    the future.

27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan.

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were:

   - Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.

   - Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to

     complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions.

     ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
       respective maintainers. )

   - Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation

In net_ns_init(), register_pernet_subsys() could fail while registering
network namespace subsystems. The fix checks the return value and
sends a panic() on failure.
