2011-09-20lib: add error checking to hex2binMimi Zohar
hex2bin converts a hexadecimal string to its binary representation. The original version of hex2bin did not do any error checking. This patch adds error checking and returns the result. Changelog v1: - removed unpack_hex_byte() - changed return code from boolean to int Changelog: - use the new unpack_hex_byte() - add __must_check compiler option (Andy Shevchenko's suggestion) - change function API to return error checking result (based on Tetsuo Handa's initial patch) Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com>
2011-09-20ip6_tunnel: add optional fwmark inheritEric Dumazet
Add IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FWMARK to ip6_tunnel, so that ip6_tnl_xmit2() makes a route lookup taking into account skb->fwmark and doesnt cache lookup result. This permits more flexibility in policies and firewall setups. To setup such a tunnel, "fwmark inherit" option should be added to "ip -f inet6 tunnel" command.

2011-09-20[S390] kvm: extension capability for new address space layoutChristian Borntraeger
598841ca9919d008b520114d8a4378c4ce4e40a1 ([S390] use gmap address spaces for kvm guest images) changed kvm on s390 to use a separate address space for kvm guests. We can now put KVM guests anywhere in the user address mode with a size up to 8PB - as long as the memory is 1MB-aligned. This change was done without KVM extension capability bit. The change was added after 3.0, but we still have a chance to add a feature bit before 3.1 (keeping the releases in a sane state). We use number 71 to avoid collisions with other pending kvm patches as requested by Alexander Graf.

If an architecture sets ARCH_HAS_DMA_GET_REQUIRED_MASK and has settable dma_map_ops, the required mask may change by the ops implementation. For example, a system that always has an mmu inline may only require 32 bits while a swiotlb would desire bits to cover all of memory. Therefore add the field if the architecture does not use the generic definition of dma_get_required_mask. The first use will by by powerpc.

2011-09-19regmap: Add the LZO cache supportDimitris Papastamos
This patch adds support for LZO compression when storing the register cache. For a typical device whose register map would normally occupy 25kB or 50kB by using the LZO compression technique, one can get down to ~5-7kB. There might be a performance penalty associated with each individual read/write due to decompressing/compressing the underlying cache, however that should not be noticeable. These memory benefits depend on whether the target architecture can get rid of the memory occupied by the original register defaults cache which is marked as __devinitconst. Nevertheless there will be some memory gain even if the target architecture can't get rid of the original register map, this should be around ~30-32kB instead of 50kB.

2011-09-19regmap: Add the rbtree cache supportDimitris Papastamos
This patch adds support for the rbtree cache compression type. Each rbnode manages a variable length block of registers. There can be no two nodes with overlapping blocks. Each block has a base register and a currently top register, all the other registers, if any, lie in between these two and in ascending order. The reasoning behind the construction of this rbtree is simple. In the snd_soc_rbtree_cache_init() function, we iterate over the register defaults provided by the regcache core. For each register value that is non-zero we insert it in the rbtree. In order to determine in which rbnode we need to add the register, we first look if there is another register already added that is adjacent to the one we are about to add. If that is the case we append it in that rbnode block, otherwise we create a new rbnode with a single register in its block and add it to the tree. There are various optimizations across the implementation to speed up lookups by caching the most recently used rbnode.

2011-09-19regmap: Add the indexed cache supportDimitris Papastamos
This is the simplest form of a cache available in regcache. Any registers whose default value is 0 are ignored. If any of those registers are modified in the future, they will be placed in the cache on demand. The cache layout is essentially using the provided register defaults by the regcache core directly and does not re-map it to another representation.

2011-09-19regmap: Introduce caching supportDimitris Papastamos
This patch introduces caching support for regmap. The regcache API has evolved essentially out of ASoC soc-cache so most of the actual caching types (except LZO) have been tested in the past. The purpose of regcache is to optimize in time and space the handling of register caches. Time optimization is achieved by not having to go over a slow bus like I2C to read the value of a register, instead it is cached locally in memory and can be retrieved faster. Regarding space optimization, some of the cache types are better at packing the caches, for e.g. the rbtree and the LZO caches. By doing this the sacrifice in time still wins over doing I2C transactions.

2011-09-19tracing: Add a counter clock for those that do not trust clocksSteven Rostedt
When debugging tight race conditions, it can be helpful to have a synchronized tracing method. Although in most cases the global clock provides this functionality, if timings is not the issue, it is more comforting to know that the order of events really happened in a precise order. Instead of using a clock, add a "counter" that is simply an incrementing atomic 64bit counter that orders the events as they are perceived to happen. The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate it.

If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE.

The location of an RX flow classification rule is needed to identify it for retrieval, replacement or deletion. However it also defines the priority of the rule in the case that a flow is matched by multiple rules. This is what I intended to imply by referring to the use of a TCAM, commonly used to implement that behaviour. However there are other ways this can be done, and it is better to specify this explicitly. Further, I want to add the option for automatic selection of rule locations.
