inet frag handling. From Florian Westphal.
5) Add support for various RFC6458 control messages in SCTP, from
Geir Ola Vaagland.
6) Allow to filter bridge forwarding database dumps by device, from
Jamal Hadi Salim.

drivers/net/Makefile
net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c
Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.
In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
"USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte
in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP.
The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved
beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK
and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not
necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler.
Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the
scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding,
tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp.

Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack
and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams
from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique
correlate looped data with original send() call (for application
level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex,
requiring packet inspection.
Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with
send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of
sock_extended_err.
The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the
socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx
timestamp generation is enabled.
The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to
avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0.
The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling
does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible
to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced
first.

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit.
Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags.
Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt.
SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive
timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this
last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch.

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING
read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined
implicitly as timespec[3].
1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and
2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always
accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field
ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to
define the existing behavior.
The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to
sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING.

This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging
by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay.
When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers
send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue
and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly
received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP
SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April
2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows
2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also
been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked
into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014,
where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box.
Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed
range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux
SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear
the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit
(potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate
just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the
sender.
To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it
does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the
receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs
that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging
persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard
and enter CA_Loss.
A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at
56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested
paths, we wait for at least RTT/2.
We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix
of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and
found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging:
(1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms
(2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2
In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by
75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without
any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

The getrandom(2) system call was requested by the LibreSSL Portable
developers. It is analoguous to the getentropy(2) system call in
OpenBSD.
The rationale of this system call is to provide resiliance against
file descriptor exhaustion attacks, where the attacker consumes all
available file descriptors, forcing the use of the fallback code where
/dev/[u]random is not available. Since the fallback code is often not
well-tested, it is better to eliminate this potential failure mode
entirely.
The other feature provided by this new system call is the ability to
request randomness from the /dev/urandom entropy pool, but to block
until at least 128 bits of entropy has been accumulated in the
/dev/urandom entropy pool. Historically, the emphasis in the
/dev/urandom development has been to ensure that urandom pool is
initialized as quickly as possible after system boot, and preferably
before the init scripts start execution.
This is because changing /dev/urandom reads to block represents an
interface change that could potentially break userspace which is not
acceptable. In practice, on most x86 desktop and server systems, in
general the entropy pool can be initialized before it is needed (and
in modern kernels, we will printk a warning message if not). However,
on an embedded system, this may not be the case. And so with this new
interface, we can provide the functionality of blocking until the
urandom pool has been initialized. Any userspace program which uses
this new functionality must take care to assure that if it is used
during the boot process, that it will not cause the init scripts or
other portions of the system startup to hang indefinitely.
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/random.h>
int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The system call getrandom() fills the buffer pointed to by buf
with up to buflen random bytes which can be used to seed user
space random number generators (i.e., DRBG's) or for other
cryptographic uses. It should not be used for Monte Carlo
simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing
probabilistic sampling.
If the GRND_RANDOM flags bit is set, then draw from the
/dev/random pool instead of the /dev/urandom pool. The
/dev/random pool is limited based on the entropy that can be
obtained from environmental noise, so if there is insufficient
entropy, the requested number of bytes may not be returned.
If there is no entropy available at all, getrandom(2) will
either block, or return an error with errno set to EAGAIN if
the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags.
If the GRND_RANDOM bit is not set, then the /dev/urandom pool
will be used. Unlike using read(2) to fetch data from
/dev/urandom, if the urandom pool has not been sufficiently
initialized, getrandom(2) will block (or return -1 with the
errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags).
The getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD can be emulated using
the following function:
int getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen)
{
int ret;
if (buflen > 256)
goto failure;
ret = getrandom(buf, buflen, 0);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret == buflen)
return 0;
failure:
errno = EIO;
return -1;
}
RETURN VALUE
On success, the number of bytes that was filled in the buf is
returned. This may not be all the bytes requested by the
caller via buflen if insufficient entropy was present in the
/dev/random pool, or if the system call was interrupted by a
signal.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid flag was passed to getrandom(2)
EFAULT buf is outside the accessible address space.
EAGAIN The requested entropy was not available, and
getentropy(2) would have blocked if the
GRND_NONBLOCK flag was not set.
EINTR While blocked waiting for entropy, the call was
interrupted by a signal handler; see the description
of how interrupted read(2) calls on "slow" devices
are handled with and without the SA_RESTART flag
in the signal(7) man page.
NOTES
For small requests (buflen <= 256) getrandom(2) will not
return EINTR when reading from the urandom pool once the
entropy pool has been initialized, and it will return all of
the bytes that have been requested. This is the recommended
way to use getrandom(2), and is designed for compatibility
with OpenBSD's getentropy() system call.
However, if you are using GRND_RANDOM, then getrandom(2) may
block until the entropy accounting determines that sufficient
environmental noise has been gathered such that getrandom(2)
will be operating as a NRBG instead of a DRBG for those people
who are working in the NIST SP 800-90 regime. Since it may
block for a long time, these guarantees do *not* apply. The
user may want to interrupt a hanging process using a signal,
so blocking until all of the requested bytes are returned
would be unfriendly.
For this reason, the user of getrandom(2) MUST always check
the return value, in case it returns some error, or if fewer
bytes than requested was returned. In the case of
!GRND_RANDOM and small request, the latter should never
happen, but the careful userspace code (and all crypto code
should be careful) should check for this anyway!
Finally, unless you are doing long-term key generation (and
perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using
GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for
/dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be
sufficient for all purposes. The disadvantage of GRND_RANDOM
is that it can block, and the increased complexity required to
deal with partially fulfilled getrandom(2) requests.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next
Conflicts:
net/6lowpan/iphc.c
Minor conflicts in iphc.c were changes overlapping with some
style cleanups.
John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this last(?) batch of wireless change intended for the
3.17 stream...
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"This is a rather quiet one, we have:
- A new driver from ST Microelectronics for their NCI ST21NFCB,
including device tree support.
- p2p support for the ST21NFCA driver
- A few fixes an enhancements for the NFC digital laye"
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Michal and Janusz did some important RX aggregation fixes, basically we
were missing RX reordering altogether. The 10.1 firmware doesn't support
Ad-Hoc mode and Michal fixed ath10k so that it doesn't advertise Ad-Hoc
support with that firmware. Also he implemented a workaround for a KVM
issue."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo and Johan say:
"To quote Gustavo from his previous request:
'Some last minute fixes for -next. We have a fix for a use after free in
RFCOMM, another fix to an issue with ADV_DIRECT_IND and one for ADV_IND with
auto-connection handling. Last, we added support for reading the codec and
MWS setting for controllers that support these features.'
Additionally there are fixes to LE scanning, an update to conform to the 4.1
core specification as well as fixes for tracking the page scan state. All
of these fixes are important for 3.17."
And,
"We've got:
- 6lowpan fixes/cleanups
- A couple crash fixes, one for the Marvell HCI driver and another in LE SMP.
- Fix for an incorrect connected state check
- Fix for the bondable requirement during pairing (an issue which had
crept in because of using "pairable" when in fact the actual meaning
was "bondable" (these have different meanings in Bluetooth)"
Along with those are some late-breaking hardware support patches in
brcmfmac and b43 as well as a stray ath9k patch.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Once again, Catalin's off on holiday and I'm looking after the arm64
tree. Please can you pull the following arm64 updates for 3.17?
Note that this branch also includes the new GICv3 driver (merged via a
stable tag from Jason's irqchip tree), since there is a fix for older
binutils on top.
Changes include:
- context tracking support (NO_HZ_FULL) which narrowly missed 3.16
- vDSO layout rework following Andy's work on x86
- TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing for bootloader testing
- /proc/cpuinfo tidy-up
- preliminary work to support 48-bit virtual addresses, but this is
currently disabled until KVM has been ported to use it (the patches
do, however, bring some nice clean-up)
- boot-time CPU sanity checks (especially useful on heterogenous
systems)
- support for syscall auditing
- support for CC_STACKPROTECTOR
- defconfig updates"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the
changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's
introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the
function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function
tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of
ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
introduced into Linux. Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
"notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
down into the guts of suspend and resume
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
ftrace and tracing"

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are
mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the
devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of
controllers.
- cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup
can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support
IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being
implemented.
- The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface
files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place.
Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the
new interface.
- cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in
the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's
configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations
irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or
node goes down.
All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for
the multiple hierarchies"
