tools lib traceevent: Remove tep_data_event_from_type() API

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API
should be straightforward.

After discussion with Steven Rostedt, we decided to remove the
tep_data_event_from_type() API and to replace it with tep_find_event(),
as it does the same.

tools lib traceevent: Rename tep_is_file_bigendian() to tep_file_bigendian()

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API
should be straightforward.

After a discussion with Steven Rostedt, we decided to rename a few APIs,
to have more intuitive names.

This patch renames tep_is_file_bigendian() to tep_file_bigendian().

tools lib traceevent: Changed return logic of tep_register_event_handler() API

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API
should be straightforward.

The tep_register_event_handler() functions returns -1 in case it
successfully registers the new event handler. Such return code is used
by the other library APIs in case of an error.

To unify the return logic of tep_register_event_handler() with the other
APIs, this patch introduces enum tep_reg_handler, which is used by this
function as return value, to handle all possible successful return
cases.

tools lib traceevent: Changed return logic of trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() APIs

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API should be
straightforward.

The trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() APIs have inconsistent
returned values with the other trace_seq_* APIs.

This path changes the return logic of trace_seq_printf() and
trace_seq_vprintf() to return the number of printed characters, as the
other trace_seq_* related APIs.

tools lib traceevent: Rename struct cmdline to struct tep_cmdline

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions should have a unique prefix to prevent name
space conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_".

This patch renames 'struct cmdline' to 'struct tep_cmdline'.

tools lib traceevent: Initialize host_bigendian at tep_handle allocation

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

This patch initializes the host_bigendian member of the tep_handle
structure with the byte order of the current host, when this handler is
created - in tep_alloc() API. We need this in order to remove the
tep_set_host_bigendian() API.

tools lib traceevent: Introduce new libtracevent API: tep_override_comm()

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

This patch adds a new API of tracevent library: tep_override_comm() It
registers a pid / command mapping. If a mapping with the same pid
already exists, the entry is updated with the new command.

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 ->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.

tools lib traceevent: Use LDFLAGS in the build commands

So that the user can specify outside LDFLAGS values.

Keeping the CFLAGS in there as well, so we don't break existing scripts.
