* stmmac: dwmac-sti: review the glue-logic for STi4xx and STiD127 SoCsGiuseppe CAVALLARO2014-10-141-41/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is to review the whole glue logic adopted on STi SoCs that was bugged. In the old glue-logic there was a lot of confusion when setup the retiming especially for STiD127 where, for example, the bits 6 and 7 (in the GMAC control register) have a different meaning of what is used for STiH4xx SoCs. So we cannot adopt the same glue for all these SoCs. Moreover, GiGa on STiD127 didn't work and, for all the SoCs, the RGMII couldn't run when the speed was 10Mbps (because the clock was not properly managed). Note that the phy clock needs to be provided by the platform as well as documented in the related binding file (updated as consequence). The old code supported too many configurations never adopted and validated. This made the code very complex to maintain and debug in case of issues. The patch simplifies all the configurations as commented in the tables inside the file and obviously it has been tested on all the boards based on the SoCs mentioned. With this patch, the dwmac-sti is also ready to support new configurations that will be available on next SoC generations.

| | | | | | | | | | | The KSZ8021 and KSZ8031 support RMII reference input clocks of 25MHz and 50MHz. Both PHYs differ in the default frequency they expect after reset. If this differs from the actual input clock, then register 0x1f bit 7 must be changed.

This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-10-03 Please pull tihs batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream! For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have here a few things that depend on the latest mac80211's changes: RRM, TPC, Quiet Period etc... Eyal keeps improving our rate control and we have a new device ID. This last patch should probably have gone to wireless.git, but at that stage, I preferred to send it to -next and CC stable." For (most of) the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "The only new feature is testmode support from me. Ben added a new method to crash the firmware with an assert for debug purposes. As usual, we have lots of smaller fixes from Michal. Matteo fixed a Kconfig dependency with debugfs. I fixed some warnings recently added to checkpatch." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "We've had major updates for TI and ST Microelectronics drivers, and a few NCI related changes. For TI's trf7970a driver: - Target mode support for trf7970a - Suspend/resume support for trf7970a - DT properties additions to handle different quirks - A bunch of fixes for smartphone IOP related issues For ST Microelectronics' ST21NFCA and ST21NFCB drivers: - ISO15693 support for st21nfcb - checkpatch and sparse related warning fixes - Code cleanups and a few minor fixes Finally, Marvell added ISO15693 support to the NCI stack, together with a couple of NCI fixes." For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says: "This 3.18 pull request replaces the one I did on Monday ("bluetooth-next 2014-09-22", which hasn't been pulled yet). The additions since the last request are: - SCO connection fix for devices not supporting eSCO - Cleanups regarding the SCO establishment logic - Remove unnecessary return value from logging functions - Header compression fix for 6lowpan - Cleanups to the ieee802154/mrf24j40 driver Here's a copy from previous request that this one replaces: ' Here are some more patches for 3.18. They include various fixes to the btusb HCI driver, a fix for LE SMP, as well as adding Jukka to the MAINTAINERS file for generic 6LoWPAN (as requested by Alexander Aring). I've held on to this pull request a bit since we were waiting for a SCO related fix to get sorted out first. However, since the merge window is getting closer I decided not to wait for it. If we do get the fix sorted out there'll probably be a second small pull request later this week. '" And, "Unless 3.17 gets delayed this will probably be our last -next pull request for 3.18. We've got: - New Marvell hardware supportr - Multicast support for 6lowpan - Several of 6lowpan fixes & cleanups - Fix for a (false-positive) lockdep warning in L2CAP - Minor btusb cleanup" On top of all that comes the usual sort of updates to ath5k, ath9k, ath10k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, and wil6210. This time around there are also a number of rtlwifi updates to enable some new hardware and to reconcile the in-kernel drivers with some newer releases of the Realtek vendor drivers. Also of note is some device tree work for the bcma bus. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm for data center networks. Typical data center workloads are i.e. i) partition/aggregate (queries; bursty, delay sensitive), ii) short messages e.g. 50KB-1MB (for coordination and control state; delay sensitive), and iii) large flows e.g. 1MB-100MB (data update; throughput sensitive). DCTCP has therefore been designed for such environments to provide/achieve the following three requirements: * High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate) * Low latency (short flows, queries) * High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with commodity, shallow buffered switches The basic idea of its design consists of two fundamentals: i) on the switch side, packets are being marked when its internal queue length > threshold K (K is chosen so that a large enough headroom for marked traffic is still available in the switch queue); ii) the sender/host side maintains a moving average of the fraction of marked packets, so each RTT, F is being updated as follows: F := X / Y, where X is # of marked ACKs, Y is total # of ACKs alpha := (1 - g) * alpha + g * F, where g is a smoothing constant The resulting alpha (iow: probability that switch queue is congested) is then being used in order to adaptively decrease the congestion window W: W := (1 - (alpha / 2)) * W The means for receiving marked packets resp. marking them on switch side in DCTCP is the use of ECN. RFC3168 describes a mechanism for using Explicit Congestion Notification from the switch for early detection of congestion, rather than waiting for segment loss to occur. However, this method only detects the presence of congestion, not the *extent*. In the presence of mild congestion, it reduces the TCP congestion window too aggressively and unnecessarily affects the throughput of long flows [4]. DCTCP, as mentioned, enhances Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) processing to estimate the fraction of bytes that encounter congestion, rather than simply detecting that some congestion has occurred. DCTCP then scales the TCP congestion window based on this estimate [4], thus it can derive multibit feedback from the information present in the single-bit sequence of marks in its control law. And thus act in *proportion* to the extent of congestion, not its *presence*. Switches therefore set the Congestion Experienced (CE) codepoint in packets when internal queue lengths exceed threshold K. Resulting, DCTCP delivers the same or better throughput than normal TCP, while using 90% less buffer space. It was found in [2] that DCTCP enables the applications to handle 10x the current background traffic, without impacting foreground traffic. Moreover, a 10x increase in foreground traffic did not cause any timeouts, and thus largely eliminates TCP incast collapse problems. The algorithm itself has already seen deployments in large production data centers since then. We did a long-term stress-test and analysis in a data center, short summary of our TCP incast tests with iperf compared to cubic: This test measured DCTCP throughput and latency and compared it with CUBIC throughput and latency for an incast scenario. In this test, 19 senders sent at maximum rate to a single receiver. The receiver simply ran iperf -s. The senders ran iperf -c <receiver> -t 30. All senders started simultaneously (using local clocks synchronized by ntp). This test was repeated multiple times. Below shows the results from a single test. Other tests are similar. (DCTCP results were extremely consistent, CUBIC results show some variance induced by the TCP timeouts that CUBIC encountered.) For this test, we report statistics on the number of TCP timeouts, flow throughput, and traffic latency. 1) Timeouts (total over all flows, and per flow summaries): CUBIC DCTCP Total 3227 25 Mean 169.842 1.316 Median 183 1 Max 207 5 Min 123 0 Stddev 28.991 1.600 Timeout data is taken by measuring the net change in netstat -s "other TCP timeouts" reported. As a result, the timeout measurements above are not restricted to the test traffic, and we believe that it is likely that all of the "DCTCP timeouts" are actually timeouts for non-test traffic. We report them nevertheless. CUBIC will also include some non-test timeouts, but they are drawfed by bona fide test traffic timeouts for CUBIC. Clearly DCTCP does an excellent job of preventing TCP timeouts. DCTCP reduces timeouts by at least two orders of magnitude and may well have eliminated them in this scenario. 2) Throughput (per flow in Mbps): CUBIC DCTCP Mean 521.684 521.895 Median 464 523 Max 776 527 Min 403 519 Stddev 105.891 2.601 Fairness 0.962 0.999 Throughput data was simply the average throughput for each flow reported by iperf. By avoiding TCP timeouts, DCTCP is able to achieve much better per-flow results. In CUBIC, many flows experience TCP timeouts which makes flow throughput unpredictable and unfair. DCTCP, on the other hand, provides very clean predictable throughput without incurring TCP timeouts. Thus, the standard deviation of CUBIC throughput is dramatically higher than the standard deviation of DCTCP throughput. Mean throughput is nearly identical because even though cubic flows suffer TCP timeouts, other flows will step in and fill the unused bandwidth. Note that this test is something of a best case scenario for incast under CUBIC: it allows other flows to fill in for flows experiencing a timeout. Under situations where the receiver is issuing requests and then waiting for all flows to complete, flows cannot fill in for timed out flows and throughput will drop dramatically. 3) Latency (in ms): CUBIC DCTCP Mean 4.0088 0.04219 Median 4.055 0.0395 Max 4.2 0.085 Min 3.32 0.028 Stddev 0.1666 0.01064 Latency for each protocol was computed by running "ping -i 0.2 <receiver>" from a single sender to the receiver during the incast test. For DCTCP, "ping -Q 0x6 -i 0.2 <receiver>" was used to ensure that traffic traversed the DCTCP queue and was not dropped when the queue size was greater than the marking threshold. The summary statistics above are over all ping metrics measured between the single sender, receiver pair. The latency results for this test show a dramatic difference between CUBIC and DCTCP. CUBIC intentionally overflows the switch buffer which incurs the maximum queue latency (more buffer memory will lead to high latency.) DCTCP, on the other hand, deliberately attempts to keep queue occupancy low. The result is a two orders of magnitude reduction of latency with DCTCP - even with a switch with relatively little RAM. Switches with larger amounts of RAM will incur increasing amounts of latency for CUBIC, but not for DCTCP. 4) Convergence and stability test: This test measured the time that DCTCP took to fairly redistribute bandwidth when a new flow commences. It also measured DCTCP's ability to remain stable at a fair bandwidth distribution. DCTCP is compared with CUBIC for this test. At the commencement of this test, a single flow is sending at maximum rate (near 10 Gbps) to a single receiver. One second after that first flow commences, a new flow from a distinct server begins sending to the same receiver as the first flow. After the second flow has sent data for 10 seconds, the second flow is terminated. The first flow sends for an additional second. Ideally, the bandwidth would be evenly shared as soon as the second flow starts, and recover as soon as it stops. The results of this test are shown below. Note that the flow bandwidth for the two flows was measured near the same time, but not simultaneously. DCTCP performs nearly perfectly within the measurement limitations of this test: bandwidth is quickly distributed fairly between the two flows, remains stable throughout the duration of the test, and recovers quickly. CUBIC, in contrast, is slow to divide the bandwidth fairly, and has trouble remaining stable.

The test was repeated five times for each number of competing flows. Competing Flows 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 ------------------------------ Mean Connection Probability 1 | 0.67 | 0.45 | 0.28 | 0 Median Connection Probability 1 | 0.65 | 0.45 | 0.25 | 0 As the number of competing flows moves beyond 1, the connection probability drops rapidly. Enabling DCTCP with this patch requires the following steps: DCTCP must be running both on the sender and receiver side in your data center, i.e.: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=dctcp Also, ECN functionality must be enabled on all switches in your data center for DCTCP to work. The default ECN marking threshold (K) heuristic on the switch for DCTCP is e.g., 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets (~100KB) at 10Gbps (K > 1/7 * C * RTT, [4]). In above tests, for each switch port, traffic was segregated into two queues. For any packet with a DSCP of 0x01 - or equivalently a TOS of 0x04 - the packet was placed into the DCTCP queue. All other packets were placed into the default drop-tail queue. For the DCTCP queue, RED/ECN marking was enabled, here, with a marking threshold of 75 KB. More details however, we refer you to the paper [2] under section 3). There are no code changes required to applications running in user space. DCTCP has been implemented in full *isolation* of the rest of the TCP code as its own congestion control module, so that it can run without a need to expose code to the core of the TCP stack, and thus nothing changes for non-DCTCP users. Changes in the CA framework code are minimal, and DCTCP algorithm operates on mechanisms that are already available in most Silicon. The gain (dctcp_shift_g) is currently a fixed constant (1/16) from the paper, but we leave the option that it can be chosen carefully to a different value by the user. In case DCTCP is being used and ECN support on peer site is off, DCTCP falls back after 3WHS to operate in normal TCP Reno mode. ss {-4,-6} -t -i diag interface: ... dctcp wscale:7,7 rto:203 rtt:2.349/0.026 mss:1448 cwnd:2054 ssthresh:1102 ce_state 0 alpha 15 ab_ecn 0 ab_tot 735584 send 10129.2Mbps pacing_rate 20254.1Mbps unacked:1822 retrans:0/15 reordering:101 rcv_space:29200 ... dctcp-reno wscale:7,7 rto:201 rtt:0.711/1.327 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 ssthresh:1102 fallback_mode send 162.9Mbps pacing_rate 325.5Mbps rcv_rtt:1.5 rcv_space:29200 More information about DCTCP can be found in [1-4].

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel and userspace. Userspace example: /* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes * and returns map_fd on success. * use close(map_fd) to delete the map */ int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size, int value_size, int max_entries) { union bpf_attr attr = { .map_type = map_type, .key_size = key_size, .value_size = value_size, .max_entries = max_entries }; return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr)); } 'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

When say a DNS or NTP server process is restarted, inetpeer tree grows quick and machine comes to its knees. iptables can not help because the bottleneck happens before ICMP messages are even cooked and sent. This patch adds a new global limitation, using a token bucket filter, controlled by two new sysctl : icmp_msgs_per_sec - INTEGER Limit maximal number of ICMP packets sent per second from this host. Only messages whose type matches icmp_ratemask are controlled by this limit. Default: 1000 icmp_msgs_burst - INTEGER icmp_msgs_per_sec controls number of ICMP packets sent per second, while icmp_msgs_burst controls the burst size of these packets. Default: 50 Note that if we really want to send millions of ICMP messages per second, we might extend idea and infra added in commit 04ca6973f7c1a ("ip: make IP identifiers less predictable") : add a token bucket in the ip_idents hash and no longer rely on inetpeer.

All previous instructions were 8-byte. This is first 16-byte instruction. Two consecutive 'struct bpf_insn' blocks are interpreted as single instruction: insn[0].code = BPF_LD | BPF_DW | BPF_IMM insn[0].dst_reg = destination register insn[0].imm = lower 32-bit insn[1].code = 0 insn[1].imm = upper 32-bit All unused fields must be zero. Classic BPF has similar instruction: BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_IMM which loads 32-bit immediate value into a register. x64 JITs it as single 'movabsq %rax, imm64' arm64 may JIT as sequence of four 'movk x0, #imm16, lsl #shift' insn Note that old eBPF programs are binary compatible with new interpreter. It helps eBPF programs load 64-bit constant into a register with one instruction instead of using two registers and 4 instructions: BPF_MOV32_IMM(R1, imm32) BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_LSH, R1, 32) BPF_MOV32_IMM(R2, imm32) BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_OR, R1, R2) User space generated programs will use this instruction to load constants only. To tell kernel that user space needs a pointer the _pseudo_ variant of this instruction may be added later, which will use extra bits of encoding to indicate what type of pointer user space is asking kernel to provide. For example 'off' or 'src_reg' fields can be used for such purpose. src_reg = 1 could mean that user space is asking kernel to validate and load in-kernel map pointer. src_reg = 2 could mean that user space needs readonly data section pointer src_reg = 3 could mean that user space needs a pointer to per-cpu local data All such future pseudo instructions will not be carrying the actual pointer as part of the instruction, but rather will be treated as a request to kernel to provide one. The kernel will verify the request_for_a_pointer, then will drop _pseudo_ marking and will store actual internal pointer inside the instruction, so the end result is the interpreter and JITs never see pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insns and only operate on generic BPF_LD_IMM64 that loads 64-bit immediate into a register. User space never operates on direct pointers and verifier can easily recognize request_for_pointer vs other instructions. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

E.g., if two nodes simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table. In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous, conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node. However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error". In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it. The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

There is one patch by Wolfram Sang to clean up the build system. Two patches by Stefan Agner that add vf610 support to the flexcan driver. Dong Aisheng add support for bosch's m_can core, which is found in the new freescale ARM SoCs. Sergei Shtylyov improves the rcar_can driver by supporting all input clocks and adding device tree support. The next patch is a small cleanup for the bit rate calculation function by Lad, Prabhakar. And finally a patch by Himangi Saraogi, which converts the mcp251x driver to use dmam_alloc_coherent. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Emac splitter is a soft IP core in FPGA system that converts GMII interface from Synopsys mac to RGMII/SGMII interface. This splitter core is an optional IP if user would like to use RGMII/SGMII interface in their system. Software needs to update a register in splitter core when there is speed change.
