find_idlest_group() only compares the runnable_load_avg when looking
for the least loaded group. But on fork intensive use case like
hackbench where tasks blocked quickly after the fork, this can lead to
selecting the same CPU instead of other CPUs, which have similar
runnable load but a lower load_avg.
When the runnable_load_avg of 2 CPUs are close, we now take into
account the amount of blocked load as a 2nd selection factor. There is
now 3 zones for the runnable_load of the rq:
- [0 .. (runnable_load - imbalance)]:
Select the new rq which has significantly less runnable_load
- [(runnable_load - imbalance) .. (runnable_load + imbalance)]:
The runnable loads are close so we use load_avg to chose
between the 2 rq
- [(runnable_load + imbalance) .. ULONG_MAX]:
Keep the current rq which has significantly less runnable_load
The scale factor that is currently used for comparing runnable_load,
doesn't work well with small value. As an example, the use of a
scaling factor fails as soon as this_runnable_load == 0 because we
always select local rq even if min_runnable_load is only 1, which
doesn't really make sense because they are just the same. So instead
of scaling factor, we use an absolute margin for runnable_load to
detect CPUs with similar runnable_load and we keep using scaling
factor for blocked load.
For use case like hackbench, this enable the scheduler to select
different CPUs during the fork sequence and to spread tasks across the
system.

During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been
selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to
set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is
still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to
look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization.
Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test:
hackbench -P -g 1
because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not
spread during fork.
With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as
for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test

Commit:
3cded41794 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()")
introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*]
It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is
bool. Code that looked like:
83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi
ff 15 32 a0 d8 00 callq *0xd8a032(%rip) # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20>
84 c0 test %al,%al
ended up looking like so after PVOP_CALL1() was applied:
83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi
48 63 ff movslq %edi,%rdi
ff 14 25 20 81 e2 81 callq *0xffffffff81e28120
48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
Note how it tests the whole of %rax, even though a typical bool return
function only sets %al, like:
0f 95 c0 setne %al
c3 retq
This is because ____PVOP_CALL() does:
__ret = (rettype)__eax;
and while regular integer type casts truncate the result, a cast to
bool tests for any !0 value. Fix this by explicitly truncating to
sizeof(rettype) before casting.
[*] The actual bug should've been exposed in commit:
446f3dc8cc ("locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests")
but that didn't properly implement the paravirt call.

The sync_cmos_clock function in kernel/time/ntp.c first tries to update
the internal clock of the cpu by calling the "update_persistent_clock64"
architecture specific function. If this returns -ENODEV, it then tries
to update an external RTC using "rtc_set_ntp_time".
On the mips architecture, the weak implementation of the underlying
function would return 0 if it wasn't overridden. This meant that the
sync_cmos_clock function would never try to update an external RTC
(if both CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC are
configured)
Returning -ENODEV instead, means that an external RTC will be tried.

Instead of having individual PHY drivers set the SUPPORTED_Pause and
SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause flags, phylib itself should set those flags,
unless there is a hardware erratum or other special case. During
autonegotiation, the PHYs will determine whether to enable pause
frame support.
Pause frames are a feature that is supported by the MAC. It is the MAC
that generates the frames and that processes them. The PHY can only be
configured to allow them to pass through.
This commit also effectively reverts the recently applied c7a61319
("net: phy: dp83848: Support ethernet pause frames").
So the new process is:
1) Unless the PHY driver overrides it, phylib sets the SUPPORTED_Pause
and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits in phydev->supported. This indicates that
the PHY supports pause frames.
2) The MAC driver checks phydev->supported before it calls phy_start().
If (SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_AsymPause) is set, then the MAC driver
sets those bits in phydev->advertising, if it wants to enable pause
frame support.
3) When the link state changes, the MAC driver checks phydev->pause and
phydev->asym_pause, If the bits are set, then it enables the corresponding
features in the MAC. The algorithm is:
if (phydev->pause)
The MAC should be programmed to receive and honor
pause frames it receives, i.e. enable receive flow control.
if (phydev->pause != phydev->asym_pause)
The MAC should be programmed to transmit pause
frames when needed, i.e. enable transmit flow control.

====================
net: bridge: fast ageing on topology change
802.1D [1] specifies that the bridges in a network must use a short
value to age out dynamic entries in the Filtering Database for a period,
once a topology change has been communicated by the root bridge.
This patchset fixes this for the in-kernel STP implementation.
Once the topology change flag is set in a net_bridge instance, the
ageing time value is shorten to twice the forward delay used by the
topology.
When the topology change flag is cleared, the ageing time configured for
the bridge is restored.
To accomplish that, a new bridge_ageing_time member is added to the
net_bridge structure, to store the user configured bridge ageing time.
Two helpers are added to offload the ageing time and set the topology
change flag in the net_bridge instance. Then the required logic is added
in the topology change helper if in-kernel STP is used.
This has been tested on the following topology:
+--------------+
| root bridge |
| 1 2 3 4 |
+--+--+--+--+--+
| | | | +--------+
| | | +------| laptop |
| | | +--------+
+--+--+--+-----+
| 1 2 3 |
| slave bridge |
+--------------+
When unplugging/replugging the laptop, the slave bridge (under test)
gets the topology change flag sent by the root bridge, and fast ageing
is triggered on the bridges. Once the topology change timer of the root
bridge expires, the topology change flag is cleared and the configured
ageing time is restored on the bridges.
A similar test has been done between two bridges under test.
When changing the forward delay of the root bridge with:
# echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/forward_delay
the ageing time correctly changes on both bridges from 300s to 60s while
the TOPOLOGY_CHANGE flag is present.

====================
Three fixes:
* fix a logic bug introduced by a previous cleanup
* fix nl80211 attribute confusing (trying to use
a single attribute for two purposes)
* fix a long-standing BSS leak that happens when an
association attempt is abandoned

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted
by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message:
"We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the
same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was
enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the
one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly.
We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size
which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is
used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large,
it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer
was completely empty."
We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries
environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum
field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum
offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS.
Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer.
This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

udp: receive path optimizations
This patch series provides about 100 % performance increase under flood.
v2: added Paolo feedback on udp_rmem_release() for tiny sk_rcvbuf
added the last patch touching sk_rmem_alloc later
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
In flood situations, keeping sk_rmem_alloc at a high value
prevents producers from touching the socket.
It makes sense to lower sk_rmem_alloc only at the end
of udp_rmem_release() after the thread draining receive
queue in udp_recvmsg() finished the writes to sk_forward_alloc.

If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc
for every read packet, it gives opportunity for
producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly
try adding another packet, causing false sharing.
We can add a simple heuristic to give the signal
by batches of ~25 % of the queue capacity.
This patch considerably increases performance under
flood by about 50 %, since the thread draining the queue
is no longer slowed by false sharing.

In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb
is added to receive queue, because device pointer is no longer
available once we exit from RCU section.
Since this first cache line is always hot, lets reuse this space
to store skb->truesize and thus avoid a cache line miss at
udp_recvmsg()/udp_skb_destructor time while receive queue
spinlock is held.

Idea of busylocks is to let producers grab an extra spinlock
to relieve pressure on the receive_queue spinlock shared by consumer.
This behavior is requested only once socket receive queue is above
half occupancy.
Under flood, this means that only one producer can be in line
trying to acquire the receive_queue spinlock.
These busylock can be allocated on a per cpu manner, instead of a
per socket one (that would consume a cache line per socket)
This patch considerably improves UDP behavior under stress,
depending on number of NIC RX queues and/or RPS spread.

net: qcom/emac: simplify support for different SOCs
On SOCs that have the Qualcomm EMAC network controller, the internal
PHY block is always different. Sometimes the differences are small,
sometimes it might be a completely different IP. Either way, using version
numbers to differentiate them and putting all of the init code in one
file does not scale.
This patchset does two things: The first breaks up the current code into
different files, and the second patch adds support for a third SOC, the
Qualcomm Technologies QDF2400 ARM Server SOC.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The QDF2432 and the QDF2400 have slightly different internal PHYs,
so there are some programming differences. Some of the registers in
the QDF2400 have moved, and some registers require different values
during initialization.
Because of the differences, and because HIDs are a scare resource,
the ACPI tables specify the hardware version in an _HRV property.
Version 1 is the QDF2432, and version 2 is the QDF2400. Any future
SOC that has the same internal PHY but different programming
requirements will be assigned the next available version number.

The internal PHY of the EMAC differs on each SOC, and the list will
only continue to grow. By separating the code into individual files,
we can add support for more SOCs more cleanly.
Note: The internal PHY is also sometimes called the SGMII device.
We also stop referring to the various PHY variations by version number,
so no more "v2", "v3", etc. Instead, the devices are named after the
SOC they are, which is in sync with the device tree property names.
Future patches will probably rearrange more code among the files.

ldt->size can never be negative. The helper functions take 'unsigned int'
arguments which are assigned from ldt->size. The related user space
user_desc struct member entry_number is unsigned as well.
But ldt->size itself and a few local variables which are related to
ldt->size are type 'int' which makes no sense whatsoever and results in
typecasts which make the eyes bleed.
Clean it up and convert everything which is related to ldt->size to
unsigned it.
