9affec6be8 batman-adv: enable fast client detection using unicast_4addr packets
The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by
means of unicast_4addr packets.

The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is
currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can
therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table

c384ea3ec9 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data
structures and functions for ARP management.

7cdcf6dddc batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet type
The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This
patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new
fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data
contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node
which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid
creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype
will be enough.

Headers which are already perfectly aligned and create a 4 byte boundary
non-ethernet header payload can have the __packed attribute removed. The
__packed attribute doesn't change the appeareance of the packet for these
headers because no extra padding is necessary to align the data members. The
compiler will also create slightly faster code for loads of multi-byte members.

ef468d2347 net: calxedaxgmac: ip align receive buffers
On gcc 4.7, we will get alignment traps in the ip stack if we don't align
the ip headers on receive. The h/w can support this, so use ip aligned
allocations.

Cut down the unnecessary padding on the allocation. The buffer can start on
any byte alignment, but the size including the begining offset must be 8
byte aligned. So the h/w buffer size must include the NET_IP_ALIGN offset.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for the initial patch highlighting the padding issues.

2) Missing qdisc_put_rtab() calls in htb_change_class(),
   leaking kernel memory, now struct htb_class no longer
   retains pointers to qdisc_rate_table structs.

   Since only rate is used, dont use qdisc_get_rtab() calls

GCC is correct. In promiscuous mode 'mc_filter' will be used
uninitialized in set_rx_mode_8012(), which is apparently inlined into
set_rx_mode().

But it turns out set_rx_mode_8012() will never be called, since

26cdfb4915 macb: Keep driver's speed/duplex in sync with actual NCFGR
When underlying phy driver restores its state very fast after being brought
down and up so that macb driver function macb_handle_link_change() was never
called with link state "down", driver's internal representation of phy speed
and duplex (bp->speed and bp->duplex) didn't change. So, macb driver sees no
reason to perform actual write to the NCFGR register, although the speed and
duplex settings in that register were reset when interface was brought down
and up. In that case actual phy speed and duplex differ from NCFGR settings.
The patch fixes that by keeping internal driver representation of speed and
duplex in sync with actual content of NCFGR.

56b765b79e htb: improved accuracy at high rates
Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc"
userspace program, which has the following issue:

The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths
to token (time units).  With TSO sized packets, the
256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate,
making the token bucket inaccurate.

Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch
explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet
transmission times with nanosecond granularity.

This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide
range of packet sizes.

Example:

tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \
        htb default 1

tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \
        rate 5Gbit mtu 64k

Here is an example of inaccuracy:

$ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1

With old htb:
eth4:   34.76 Mb/s In  5827.98 Mb/s Out -  65836.0 p/s In  481273.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   669 MBytes  5.61 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  6.50 GBytes  5.58 Gbits/sec

With new htb:
eth4:   28.36 Mb/s In  5208.06 Mb/s Out -  53704.0 p/s In  430076.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   594 MBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  5.80 GBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec

The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB
because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which
is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used.  But
that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback.

afb97186f5 vxlan: allow a user to set TTL value
"ip link add ... type vxlan ... ttl X" allows a user to set the TTL
used by a VXLAN for encapsulation. The provided value was ignored by
vxlan module and the default value of 1 was used when encapsulating
multicast packets.
