R. Silva keeps working on the implicit switch fallthru changes. - Support 802.11ax High-Efficiency wireless in cfg80211 et al, From Luca Coelho. - Re-enable ASPM in r8169, from Kai-Heng Feng. - Add virtual XFRM interfaces, which avoids all of the limitations of existing IPSEC tunnels. From Steffen Klassert. - Convert GRO over to use a hash table, so that when we have many flows active we don't traverse a long list during accumluation. - Many new self tests for routing, TC, tunnels, etc. Too many contributors to mention them all, but I'm really happy to keep seeing this stuff. - Hardware timestamping support for dpaa_eth/fsl-fman from Yangbo Lu. - Lots of cleanups and fixes in L2TP code from Guillaume Nault. - Add IPSEC offload support to netdevsim, from Shannon Nelson. - Add support for slotting with non-uniform distribution to netem packet scheduler, from Yousuk Seung. - Add UDP GSO support to mlx5e, from Boris Pismenny. - Support offloading of Team LAG in NFP, from John Hurley. - Allow to configure TX queue selection based upon RX queue, from Amritha Nambiar. - Support ethtool ring size configuration in aquantia, from Anton Mikaev. - Support DSCP and flowlabel per-transport in SCTP, from Xin Long. - Support list based batching and stack traversal of SKBs, this is very exciting work. From Edward Cree. - Busyloop optimizations in vhost_net, from Toshiaki Makita. - Introduce the ETF qdisc, which allows time based transmissions. IGB can offload this in hardware. From Vinicius Costa Gomes. - Add parameter support to devlink, from Moshe Shemesh. - Several multiplication and division optimizations for BPF JIT in nfp driver, from Jiong Wang. - Lots of prepatory work to make more of the packet scheduler layer lockless, when possible, from Vlad Buslov. - Add ACK filter and NAT awareness to sch_cake packet scheduler, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen. - Support regions and region snapshots in devlink, from Alex Vesker. - Allow to attach XDP programs to both HW and SW at the same time on a given device, with initial support in nfp. From Jakub Kicinski. - Add TLS RX offload and support in mlx5, from Ilya Lesokhin. - Use PHYLIB in r8169 driver, from Heiner Kallweit. - All sorts of changes to support Spectrum 2 in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel. - PTP support in mv88e6xxx DSA driver, from Andrew Lunn. - Make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option more accurate, from Jon Maxwell. - Support for templates in packet scheduler classifier, from Jiri Pirko. - IPV6 support in RDS, from Ka-Cheong Poon. - Native tproxy support in nf_tables, from Máté Eckl. - Maintain IP fragment queue in an rbtree, but optimize properly for in-order frags.

* | clang-format: add configuration fileMiguel Ojeda2018-04-113-0/+200
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/... code according to a set of rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful. In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style mistakes, typos and possible improvements. It is also handy for sorting ``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and other similar tasks. It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for newcomers. The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular Linux distributions for a long time. The rules in this file are intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most distributions. This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding style. This gives us several advantages: * clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults; avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration. * Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default configuration for most of the kernel. * If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one of the style sub-options. Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are: * Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps. * Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style. * Fast enough to be used at the press of a key. * There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party) for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim, emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file or, more usefully, just your selection. * Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat only the lines changed by a git commit. * Able to reflow text comments as well. * Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself, Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be supported for a long time.

It provides the oft-lacking guidance on the following topics: - how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer - how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG - when and how to use PGP with Git - how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation describing proper processes one should follow when participating in kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org, but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and processes evolve.

| * kbuild: prepare to remove C files pre-generated by flex and bisonMasahiro Yamada2017-12-161-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Linux build system convention, pre-generated files are version- controlled with a "_shipped" suffix. During the kernel building, they are simply shipped (copied) removing the suffix. This approach can reduce external tool dependency for the kernel build, but it is tedious to manually regenerate such artifacts from developers' point of view. (We need to do "make REGENERATE_PARSERS=1" every time we touch real source files such as *.l, *.y) Some months ago, I sent out RFC patches to run flex, bison, and gperf during the build. In the review and test, Linus noticed gperf-3.1 had changed the lookup function prototype. Then, the use of gperf in kernel was entirely removed by commit bb3290d91695 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain"). This time, I tested several versions of flex and bison, and I was not hit by any compatibility issue except a flaw in flex-2.6.3; if you generate lexer for dtc and genksyms with flex-2.6.3, you will see "yywrap redefined" warning. This was not intentional, but a bug, fixed by flex-2.6.4. Otherwise, both flex and bison look fairly stable for a long time. This commit prepares some build rules to remove the _shipped files. Also, document minimal requirement for flex and bison. Rationale for the minimal version: The -Wmissing-prototypes option of GCC warns "no previous prototype" for lexers generated by flex-2.5.34 or older, so I chose 2.5.35 as the required version for flex. Flex-2.5.35 was released in 2008. Bison looks more stable. I did not see any problem with bison-2.0, released in 2004. I did not test bison-1.x, but bison-2.0 should be old enough. Tested flex versions: 2.5.35 2.5.36 2.5.37 2.5.39 2.6.0 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 (*) 2.6.4 (*) flex-2.6.3 causes "yywrap redefined" warning Tested bison versions: 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.4.1 2.5.1 2.6 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 2.6.4 2.6.5 2.7 2.7.1 3.0 3.0.1 3.0.2 3.0.3 3.0.4 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
