This patch adds a new feature called feature-split-event-channels for
netfront, enabling it to handle TX and RX events separately.
If netback does not support this feature, it falls back to use single event
channel.
If netfront fails to setup split event channels, it will try falling back to
single event channel.

The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback
wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly.
Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535. This can 1) save the effort
to send malformed packet to netback, 2) help spotting misconfiguration of
netfront in the future.

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
Features:
* Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV
console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
Bug-fixes:
* Fix compile linux-next fallout.
* Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.
The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
ARMv7 platforms.
The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV
operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
(network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests
operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
drivers and infrastructure.
Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions
and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
overall architecture:

After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous
ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can
take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However,
if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added
to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's
peers become unable to talk to the guest.
A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is:
(1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its
hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the
bridge; and
(2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move
to Connected.
These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already
satisfied by commit f942dc2552 in Linus' tree, based on commit
6b0b80ca7165 from [1].
In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because,
according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without
satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported
to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6
guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream.
The Reviewed-by line comes from [3].

The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed.
Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the
type of entropy source it is.
drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for
devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced
with these add_*_randomness exported functions.
Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of
entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can
be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the
entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq
mitigation and NAPI.
If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false
sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good
sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or
feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy
such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.
The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.
One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
future.
Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7 "xen/irq: implement
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
window:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends
this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
cross merging into the net branch.

The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial
checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB
which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a
partial checksum).
However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as
GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a
frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then
force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot
rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank.
Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.

Now that there is a single function that can compute the device
features relevant to a packet, we don't want to run it for each
offload. This converts netif_needs_gso() to take the features
of the device, rather than computing them itself.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
