af_unix: Remove CONFIG_UNIX_SCM.

Originally, the code related to garbage collection was all in garbage.c.

Commit f4e65870e5ce ("net: split out functions related to registering
inflight socket files") moved some functions to scm.c for io_uring and
added CONFIG_UNIX_SCM just in case AF_UNIX was built as module.

However, since commit 97154bcf4d1b ("af_unix: Kconfig: make CONFIG_UNIX
bool"), AF_UNIX is no longer built separately. Also, io_uring does not
support SCM_RIGHTS now.

Let's move the functions back to garbage.c

bpfilter: remove bpfilter

bpfilter was supposed to convert iptables filtering rules into
BPF programs on the fly, from the kernel, through a usermode
helper. The base code for the UMH was introduced in 2018, and
couple of attempts (2, 3) tried to introduce the BPF program
generate features but were abandoned.

bpfilter now sits in a kernel tree unused and unusable, occasionally
causing confusion amongst Linux users (4, 5).

As bpfilter is now developed in a dedicated repository on GitHub (6),
it was suggested a couple of times this year (LSFMM/BPF 2023,
LPC 2023) to remove the deprecated kernel part of the project. This
is the purpose of this patch.

net/handshake: Create a NETLINK service for handling handshake requests

When a kernel consumer needs a transport layer security session, it
first needs a handshake to negotiate and establish a session. This
negotiation can be done in user space via one of the several
existing library implementations, or it can be done in the kernel.

No in-kernel handshake implementations yet exist. In their absence,
we add a netlink service that can:

a. Notify a user space daemon that a handshake is needed.

b. Once notified, the daemon calls the kernel back via this
netlink service to get the handshake parameters, including an
open socket on which to establish the session.

c. Once the handshake is complete, the daemon reports the
session status and other information via a second netlink
operation. This operation marks that it is safe for the
kernel to use the open socket and the security session
established there.

The notification service uses a multicast group. Each handshake
mechanism (eg, tlshd) adopts its own group number so that the
handshake services are completely independent of one another. The
kernel can then tell via netlink_has_listeners() whether a handshake
service is active and prepared to handle a handshake request.

A new netlink operation, ACCEPT, acts like accept(2) in that it
instantiates a file descriptor in the user space daemon's fd table.
If this operation is successful, the reply carries the fd number,
which can be treated as an open and ready file descriptor.

While user space is performing the handshake, the kernel keeps its
muddy paws off the open socket. A second new netlink operation,
DONE, indicates that the user space daemon is finished with the
socket and it is safe for the kernel to use again. The operation
also indicates whether a session was established successfully.

# 5a178186 06-Apr-2023 Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub

There was a sort of rush surrounding commit 88c0a6b503b7 ("net: create a
netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master"), due to a desire
to convert DSA's attempt to deny TX timestamping on a DSA master to
something that doesn't block the kernel-wide API conversion from
ndo_eth_ioctl() to ndo_hwtstamp_set().

What was required was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and what was provided was a mechanism that did not depend on
ndo_eth_ioctl(), while at the same time introducing something that
wasn't absolutely necessary - a new netdev notifier.

There have been objections from Jakub Kicinski that using notifiers in
general when they are not absolutely necessary creates complications to
the control flow and difficulties to maintainers who look at the code.
So there is a desire to not use notifiers.

In addition to that, the notifier chain gets called even if there is no
DSA in the system and no one is interested in applying any restriction.

Take the model of udp_tunnel_nic_ops and introduce a stub mechanism,
through which net/core/dev_ioctl.c can call into DSA even when
CONFIG_NET_DSA=m.

Compared to the code that existed prior to the notifier conversion, aka
what was added in commits:
- 4cfab3566710 ("net: dsa: Add wrappers for overloaded ndo_ops")
- 3369afba1e46 ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops wrappers")

this is different because we are not overloading any struct
net_device_ops of the DSA master anymore, but rather, we are exposing a
rather specific functionality which is orthogonal to which API is used
to enable it - ndo_eth_ioctl() or ndo_hwtstamp_set().

Also, what is similar is that both approaches use function pointers to
get from built-in code to DSA.

There is no point in replicating the function pointers towards
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate() once for every CPU port (dev->dsa_ptr).
Instead, it is sufficient to introduce a singleton struct dsa_stubs,
built into the kernel, which contains a single function pointer to
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate().

I find this approach preferable to what we had originally, because
dev->dsa_ptr->netdev_ops->ndo_do_ioctl() used to require going through
struct dsa_port (dev->dsa_ptr), and so, this was incompatible with any
attempts to add any data encapsulation and hide DSA data structures from
the outside world.

devlink: move code to a dedicated directory

The devlink code is hard to navigate with 13kLoC in one file.
I really like the way Michal split the ethtool into per-command
files and core. It'd probably be too much to split it all up,
but we can at least separate the core parts out of the per-cmd
implementations and put it in a directory so that new commands
can be separate files.

Move the code, subsequent commit will do a partial split.

Remove DECnet support from kernel

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

wimax: move out to staging

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.

NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.

WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.

Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.

Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

mptcp: Add MPTCP socket stubs

Implements the infrastructure for MPTCP sockets.

MPTCP sockets open one in-kernel TCP socket per subflow. These subflow
sockets are only managed by the MPTCP socket that owns them and are not
visible from userspace. This commit allows a userspace program to open
an MPTCP socket with:

sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP);

The resulting socket is simply a wrapper around a single regular TCP
socket, without any of the MPTCP protocol implemented over the wire.

net: add skeleton of bpfilter kernel module

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko

The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
Example:
$ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko

bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.

Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.

Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko

If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg

bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command

development and testing of networking bpf programs is quite cumbersome.
Despite availability of user space bpf interpreters the kernel is
the ultimate authority and execution environment.
Current test frameworks for TC include creation of netns, veth,
qdiscs and use of various packet generators just to test functionality
of a bpf program. XDP testing is even more complicated, since
qemu needs to be started with gro/gso disabled and precise queue
configuration, transferring of xdp program from host into guest,
attaching to virtio/eth0 and generating traffic from the host
while capturing the results from the guest.

Moreover analyzing performance bottlenecks in XDP program is
impossible in virtio environment, since cost of running the program
is tiny comparing to the overhead of virtio packet processing,
so performance testing can only be done on physical nic
with another server generating traffic.

Furthermore ongoing changes to user space control plane of production
applications cannot be run on the test servers leaving bpf programs
stubbed out for testing.

Last but not least, the upstream llvm changes are validated by the bpf
backend testsuite which has no ability to test the code generated.

To improve this situation introduce BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command
to test and performance benchmark bpf programs.

net: Introduce psample, a new genetlink channel for packet sampling

Add a general way for kernel modules to sample packets, without being tied
to any specific subsystem. This netlink channel can be used by tc,
iptables, etc. and allow to standardize packet sampling in the kernel.

For every sampled packet, the psample module adds the following metadata
fields:

PSAMPLE_ATTR_IIFINDEX - the packets input ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_OIFINDEX - the packet output ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_ORIGSIZE - the packet's original size, in case it has been
truncated during sampling

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_GROUP - the packet's sample group, which is set by the
user who initiated the sampling. This field allows the user to
differentiate between several samplers working simultaneously and
filter packets relevant to him

PSAMPLE_ATTR_GROUP_SEQ - sequence counter of last sent packet. The
sequence is kept for each group

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_RATE - the sampling rate used for sampling the packets

PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA - the actual packet bits

The sampled packets are sent to the PSAMPLE_NL_MCGRP_SAMPLE multicast
group. In addition, add the GET_GROUPS netlink command which allows the
user to see the current sample groups, their refcount and sequence number.
This command currently supports only netlink dump mode.

strparser: Stream parser for messages

This patch introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol
messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism
implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor.

The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility
functions, and a data ready function.

A stream parser instance is defined by a strparse structure that
is bound to a TCP socket. The function to initialize the structure
is:

int strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk,
struct strp_callbacks *cb);

csk is the TCP socket being bound to and cb are the parser callbacks.

The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower
socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready
callback that is set on the socket:

void strp_tcp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp);

A parser is bound to a TCP socket by setting data_ready function to
strp_tcp_data_ready so that all receive indications on the socket
go through the parser. This is assumes that sk_user_data is set to
the strparser structure.

There are four callbacks.
- parse_msg is called to parse the message (returns length or error).
- rcv_msg is called when a complete message has been received
- read_sock_done is called when data_ready function exits
- abort_parser is called to abort the parser

The input to parse_msg is an skbuff which contains next message under
construction. The backend processing of parse_msg will parse the
application layer protocol headers to determine the length of
the message in the stream. The possible return values are:

>0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message
0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message
-ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the
kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which
can proceed to read the messages itself
other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace
assuming that synchronzation is lost and the stream
is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket)

In the case of error return (< 0) strparse will stop the parser
and report and error to userspace. The application must deal
with the error. To handle the error the strparser is unbound
from the TCP socket. If the error indicates that the stream
TCP socket is at recoverable point (ESTRPIPE) then the application
can read the TCP socket to process the stream. Once the application
has dealt with the exceptions in the stream, it may again bind the
socket to a strparser to continue data operations.

Note that ENODATA may be returned to the application. In this case
parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE, however strparser was unable to maintain
synchronization of the stream (i.e. some of the message in question
was already read by the parser).

strp_pause and strp_unpause are used to provide flow control. For
instance, if rcv_msg is called but the upper layer can't immediately
consume the message it can hold the message and pause strparser.

Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI

* The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by
"struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv".
The later one is used by NCSI stack internally.
* Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up

identified by 3-bits ID.
* Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's
represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID.
* Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and
filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version",
"struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and
"struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately.
* Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack

make default ->i_fop have ->open() fail with ENXIO

As it is, default ->i_fop has NULL ->open() (along with all other methods).
The only case where it matters is reopening (via procfs symlink) a file that
didn't get its ->f_op from ->i_fop - anything else will have ->i_fop assigned
to something sane (default would fail on read/write/ioctl/etc.).

Unfortunately, such case exists - alloc_file() users, especially
anon_get_file() ones. There we have tons of opened files of very different
kinds sharing the same inode. As the result, attempt to reopen those via
procfs succeeds and you get a descriptor you can't do anything with.

Moreover, in case of sockets we set ->i_fop that will only be used
on such reopen attempts - and put a failing ->open() into it to make sure
those do not succeed.

It would be simpler to put such ->open() into default ->i_fop and leave
it unchanged both for anon inode (as we do anyway) and for socket ones. Result:
* everything going through do_dentry_open() works as it used to
* sock_no_open() kludge is gone
* attempts to reopen anon-inode files fail as they really ought to
* ditto for aio_private_file()
* ditto for perfmon - this one actually tried to imitate sock_no_open()
trick, but failed to set ->i_fop, so in the current tree reopens succeed and
yield completely useless descriptor. Intent clearly had been to fail with
-ENXIO on such reopens; now it actually does.
* everything else that used alloc_file() keeps working - it has ->i_fop
set for its inodes anyway

IPHC is the same format like IEEE 802.15.4, see [1].

Futuremore we can put more code into this directory which is shared

net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)

High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in

MPLS: Add limited GSO support

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.

SKB Usage:

When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:

* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.

* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.

* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.

Features:

I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.

This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.

A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.

Alternate Implementation:

One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.

MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.

Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.

The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:

wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel.

The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.

More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.

This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.

Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.

appletalk: move to staging

For all I know, Appletalk is dead, the only reasonable
use right now would be nostalgia, and that can be served
well enough by old kernels. The code is largely not
in a bad shape, but it still uses the big kernel lock,
and nobody seems motivated to change that.

FWIW, the last release of MacOS that supported Appletalk
was MacOS X 10.5, made in 2007, and it has been abandoned
by Apple with 10.6. Using TCP/IP instead of Appletalk has
been supported since MacOS 7.6, which was released in
1997 and is able to run on most of the legacy hardware.

ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file system

This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a
separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This
is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces
of the interface change as well:

- ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
and file system specific pieces.
- Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
two pieces.
- The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
messages (mds map, in this case).
- The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
ceph_fs_client).

No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got
cleaned up in the refactoring process.

DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver code

Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.

This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.

Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.

If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.

The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.

See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts

This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts
to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can
be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle
the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will
use.

Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
l2tp_ppp by this change.

There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are
significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific
data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for
modules like PPP to access.

Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel

# 91da11f8 07-Oct-2008 Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org>

net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support

Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware
switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and
commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to
signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from
or is intended to be sent to.

The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in
access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch
looks something like this:

+-----------+ +-----------+
| | RGMII | |
| +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN")
| | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1")
| CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2")
| |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3")
| +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4")
| | | |
+-----------+ +-----------+

The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate
network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software
link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface
accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to
the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters
via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces.

This initial patch supports the MII management interface register
layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and
supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format.

(There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA
packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use
is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value
of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in
the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or
if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and
everything will continue to work.)
