In preparation to having more than one unicast MAC per port, we need to keep track
of the previous MAC address in the flow of ndo_set_mac_address,
so that mlx4_en_replace_mac will know what to replace.

Currently, mlx4_en_do_set_multicast serves as the ndo_set_rx_mode entry for mlx4_en,
doing all related work. Split it to few calls, one per required functionality
(e.g multicast, promiscuous, etc) and rename some structures and calls
to use rx_mode notation instead of multicast.

Move low level code that deals with management of Ethernet MACs and QPs from mlx4_core to mlx4_en.
Also convert the new functions to deal with MACs in form of char array instead of u64.
Actual functions moved:
mlx4_replace_mac
mlx4_get_eth_qp
mlx4_put_eth_qp
To conduct this change, some functionality had to be exported from the core,
the following functions were added:
mlx4_get_base_qp
__mlx4_replace_mac (low level function for CX1/A0 compatibility)

Currently, RX path code that does RX filtering is not optimized
and does an expensive conversion. In order to use ether_addr_equal_64bits
which is optimized for such cases, we need the MAC address kept by the device
to be in the form of unsigned char array instead of u64. Store the MAC address
as unsigned char array and convert to/from u64 out of the fast path when needed.
Side effect of this is that we no longer need priv->mac, since it's the same
as dev->dev_addr.
This optimization was suggested by Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

Currently there are relatively complex conditional checks in the fast path,
for TX loopback enabling and resulting RX filter logic.
Move elaborate if's out of data path, replace them with a single flag
for each state and update that state from appropriate places.
Also, in native (non SRIOV) mode and not in loopback or in selftest,
there is no need to try and filter out packets that HW loopback-ed,
as in native mode we do not loopback packets anymore.

drm/ttm: fix fence locking in ttm_buffer_object_transfer
which leaves behind a might_sleep in atomic context, since the
fence_lock spinlock is held over a kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) call. The fix
is to revert the above commit and only take the lock where we need it,
around the call to ->sync_obj_ref.
v2: Fixup things noticed by Maarten Lankhorst:
- Brown paper bag locking bug.
- No need for kzalloc if we clear the entire thing on the next line.
- check for bo->sync_obj (totally unlikely race, but still someone
else could have snuck in) and clear fbo->sync_obj if it's cleared
already.

The old SRCU implementation loads sp->completed within an
RCU-sched section, courtesy of preempt_disable(). This was required
due to the use of synchronize_sched() in the old implemenation's
synchronize_srcu(). However, the new implementation does not rely
on synchronize_sched(), so it in turn does not require the load of
sp->completed and the ->c[] counter to be in a single preempt-disabled
region of code. This commit therefore moves the sp->completed access
outside of the preempt-disabled region and applies ACCESS_ONCE().
The resulting code is almost as the same as before, but it removes the
now-misleading rcu_dereference_index_check() call.

Currently, __queue_work() chooses the pool to queue a work item to and
then determines cwq from the target wq and the chosen pool. This is a
bit backwards in that we can determine cwq first and simply use
cwq->pool. This way, we can skip get_std_worker_pool() in queueing
path which will be a hurdle when implementing custom worker pools.
Update __queue_work() such that it chooses the target cwq and then use
cwq->pool instead of the other way around. While at it, add missing
{} in an if statement.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
tj: The original patch had two get_cwq() calls - the first to
determine the pool by doing get_cwq(cpu, wq)->pool and the second
to determine the matching cwq from get_cwq(pool->cpu, wq).
Updated the function such that it chooses cwq instead of pool and
removed the second call. Rewrote the description.

get_work_pool_id() currently first obtains pool using get_work_pool()
and then return pool->id. For an off-queue work item, this involves
obtaining pool ID from worker->data, performing idr_find() to find the
matching pool and then returning its pool->id which of course is the
same as the one which went into idr_find().
Just open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and directly return pool ID from
work->data.
tj: The original patch dropped on-queue work item handling and renamed
the function to offq_work_pool_id(). There isn't much benefit in
doing so. Handling it only requires a single if() and we need at
least BUG_ON(), which is also a branch, even if we drop on-queue
handling. Open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and keep the function in
line with get_work_pool(). Rewrote the description.

As nr_running is likely to be accessed from other CPUs during
try_to_wake_up(), it was kept outside worker_pool; however, while less
frequent, other fields in worker_pool are accessed from other CPUs
for, e.g., non-reentrancy check. Also, with recent pool related
changes, accessing nr_running matching the worker_pool isn't as simple
as it used to be.
Move nr_running inside worker_pool. Keep it aligned to cacheline and
define CPU pools using DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(). This should
give at least the same cacheline behavior.
get_pool_nr_running() is replaced with direct pool->nr_running
accesses.

Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation

Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by

expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to

Asymmetric keys were introduced in linux-3.7 to verify the signature on
signed kernel modules. The asymmetric keys infrastructure abstracts the
signature verification from the crypto details. This patch adds IMA/EVM
signature verification using asymmetric keys. Support for additional
signature verification methods can now be delegated to the asymmetric
key infrastructure.
Although the module signature header and the IMA/EVM signature header
could use the same format, to minimize the signature length and save
space in the extended attribute, this patch defines a new IMA/EVM
header format. The main difference is that the key identifier is a
sha1[12 - 19] hash of the key modulus and exponent, similar to the
current implementation. The only purpose of the key identifier is to
identify the corresponding key in the kernel keyring. ima-evm-utils
was updated to support the new signature format.
While asymmetric signature verification functionality supports many
different hash algorithms, the hash used in this patch is calculated
during the IMA collection phase, based on the configured algorithm.
The default algorithm is sha1, but for backwards compatibility md5
is supported. Due to this current limitation, signatures should be
generated using a sha1 hash algorithm.
Changes in this patch:
- Functionality has been moved to separate source file in order to get rid of
in source #ifdefs.
- keyid is derived according to the RFC 3280. It does not require to assign
IMA/EVM specific "description" when loading X509 certificate. Kernel
asymmetric key subsystem automatically generate the description. Also
loading a certificate does not require using of ima-evm-utils and can be
done using keyctl only.
- keyid size is reduced to 32 bits to save xattr space. Key search is done
using partial match functionality of asymmetric_key_match().
- Kconfig option title was changed

Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool
involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing. It goes like the
following.
* When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before
work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween.
* When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on
a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at
work->entry. If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then
check whether work->data points to the current pool.
This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it
currently is or were on the pool and,
* If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed.
* It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock,
so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work
item being linked on another pool. Because work->data is updated
before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update
from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after
seeing non-empty work->entry. So, we either see empty work->entry
or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool.
While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly. With recent
updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while
the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq
or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test
whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the
currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier
dancing.
This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here,
really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test -
if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently
locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as
work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under
pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue.

We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization
invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked
pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the
work item is queued on the associated pool.
With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target
workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue
work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't
update work->data after stealing a queued work item. There's no
reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to
the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does.
This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes
work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit
unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!).
After this patch, it's guaranteed that only queued work items point to
cwqs.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.
tj: Renamed the new helper function to match
set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() and rewrote the description.

To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently,
a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that,
on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the
work item is still executing or not.
A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the
target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and
CPU. This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data
such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue
and the last CPU the work item was on. __queue_delayed_work()
extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines
it with the target workqueue to create new work.data.
The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target
workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field,
which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles
work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code
by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and
becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling.
This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to
delayed_work. While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and
this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right
trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of
work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier
dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.
Add delayed_work->wq and drop the delayed_work->work.data overloading.

Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool
associated with it and if not, considers it idle. This works fine
even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()
sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its
cwq and thus pool associated with it.
However, we're about to update delayed_work queueing and this won't
hold. Update work_busy() such that it tests WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
before the associated pool. This doesn't make any noticeable behavior
difference now.
With work_pending() test moved, the function read a lot better with
"if (!pool)" test flipped to positive. Flip it.
While at it, lose the comment about now non-existent reentrant
workqueues.
tj: Reorganized the function and rewrote the description.

Now that workqueue has moved away from gcwqs, workqueue no longer has
the need to have a CPU identifier indicating "no cpu associated" - we
now use WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE instead - and most uses of WORK_CPU_NONE
are gone.
The only left usage is as the end marker for for_each_*wq*()
iterators, where the name WORK_CPU_NONE is confusing w/o actual
WORK_CPU_NONE usages. Similarly, WORK_CPU_LAST which equals
WORK_CPU_NONE no longer makes sense.
Replace both WORK_CPU_NONE and LAST with WORK_CPU_END. This patch
doesn't introduce any functional difference.

Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device.
The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue.
So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device.
This fixes the following panic:
