60d5fcfb19 [IPSEC]: Remove nhoff from xfrm_input
The nhoff field isn't actually necessary in xfrm_input.  For tunnel
mode transforms we now throw away the output IP header so it makes no
sense to fill in the nexthdr field.  For transport mode we can now let
the function transport_finish do the setting and it knows where the
nexthdr field is.

The only other thing that needs the nexthdr field to be set is the
header extraction code.  However, we can simply move the protocol
extraction out of the generic header extraction.

We want to minimise the amount of info we have to carry around between
transforms as this simplifies the resumption process for async crypto.

d26f398400 [IPSEC]: Make x->lastused an unsigned long
Currently x->lastused is u64 which means that it cannot be
read/written atomically on all architectures.  David Miller observed
that the value stored in it is only an unsigned long which is always
atomic.

So based on his suggestion this patch changes the internal
representation from u64 to unsigned long while the user-interface
still refers to it as u64.

0ebea8ef35 [IPSEC]: Move state lock into x->type->input
This patch releases the lock on the state before calling
x->type->input.  It also adds the lock to the spots where they're
currently needed.

Most of those places (all except mip6) are expected to disappear with
async crypto.

668dc8af31 [IPSEC]: Move integrity stat collection into xfrm_input
Similar to the moving out of the replay processing on the output, this
patch moves the integrity stat collectin from x->type->input into
xfrm_input.

This would eventually allow transforms such as AH/ESP to be lockless.

The error value EBADMSG (currently unused in the crypto layer) is used
to indicate a failed integrity check.  In future this error can be
directly returned by the crypto layer once we switch to aead
algorithms.

b2aa5e9d43 [IPSEC]: Store xfrm states in security path directly
As it is xfrm_input first collects a list of xfrm states on the stack
before storing them in the packet's security path just before it
returns.  For async crypto, this construction presents an obstacle
since we may need to leave the loop after each transform.

In fact, it's much easier to just skip the stack completely and always
store to the security path.  This is proven by the fact that this
patch actually shrinks the code.

Most callers of the LOCAL_OUT chain will set the IP packet length

227620e295 [IPSEC]: Separate inner/outer mode processing on input
With inter-family transforms the inner mode differs from the outer
mode.  Attempting to handle both sides from the same function means
that it needs to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 which creates duplication
and confusion.

This patch separates the two parts on the input path so that each
function deals with one family only.

In particular, the functions xfrm4_extract_inut/xfrm6_extract_inut
moves the pertinent fields from the IPv4/IPv6 IP headers into a
neutral format stored in skb->cb.  This is then used by the inner mode
input functions to modify the inner IP header.  In this way the input
function no longer has to know about the outer address family.

function no longer has to know about the inner address family.

Since the extract functions are only called by tunnel modes (the only
modes that can support inter-family transforms), I've also moved the
xfrm*_tunnel_check_size calls into them.  This allows the correct ICMP
message to be sent as opposed to now where you might call icmp_send
with an IPv6 packet and vice versa.

a2deb6d26f [IPSEC]: Move x->outer_mode->output out of locked section
RO mode is the only one that requires a locked output function.  So
it's easier to move the lock into that function rather than requiring
everyone else to run under the lock.

function without causing a potential dead-lock should the ICMP error
somehow hit the same SA on transmission.

e40b328615 [IPSEC]: Forbid BEET + ipcomp for now
While BEET can theoretically work with IPComp the current code can't
do that because it tries to construct a BEET mode tunnel type which
doesn't (and cannot) exist.  In fact as it is it won't even attach a
tunnel object at all for BEET which is bogus.

To support this fully we'd also need to change the policy checks on
input to recognise a plain tunnel as a legal variant of an optional
BEET transform.

This patch simply fails such constructions for now.

25ee3286dc [IPSEC]: Merge common code into xfrm_bundle_create
Half of the code in xfrm4_bundle_create and xfrm6_bundle_create are
common.  This patch extracts that logic and puts it into
xfrm_bundle_create.  The rest of it are then accessed through afinfo.

As a result this fixes the problem with inter-family transforms where
we treat every xfrm dst in the bundle as if it belongs to the top
family.

This patch also fixes a long-standing error-path bug where we may free
the xfrm states twice.

fff6938880 [IPSEC]: Make sure idev is consistent with dev in xfrm_dst
Previously we took the device from the bottom route and idev from the
top route.  This is bad because idev may well point to a different
device.  This patch changes it so that we get the idev from the device
directly.

It also makes it an error if either dev or idev is NULL.  This is
consistent with the rest of the routing code which also treats these
cases as errors.

I've removed the err initialisation in xfrm6_policy.c because it
achieves no purpose and hid a bug when an initial version of this
patch neglected to set err to -ENODEV (fortunately the IPv4 version
warned about it).

352e512c32 [NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discard
We have a number of copies of dst_discard scattered around the place
which all do the same thing, namely free a packet on the input or
output paths.

This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the
users to it.

The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error.
However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions
used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors.  So they should
either all return errors or all return zero.  For now I've stuck with
the majority and picked zero as the return value.

It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would
react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

312b1485fb Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst
Today we have the following annotations for functions/data
referencing __init/__exit functions / data:

__init_refok     => for init functions
__initdata_refok => for init data
__exit_refok     => for exit functions

There is really no difference between the __init and __exit
versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation
the following new annotations are introduced:

__ref      => for functions (code) that
              references __*init / __*exit
__refdata  => for variables
__refconst => for const variables

Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation
is for and there is no longer the arbitary division
between __init and __exit code.

The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section
is created which is made part of the usual sections
in the linker script.

We will start to see annotations like this:

-static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = {
+static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = {
-----------------
-static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier =
+static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata =
----------------
-static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,
+static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,

[The above is just random samples].

Note: No modifications were needed in modpost
to support the new sections due to the newly introduced
blacklisting.

e241a63037 kbuild: warn about ld added unique sections
If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc
and assembler then if the assembler code do not add
the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections
and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot
and a number.
Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this
pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections.

It will result in warnings like this:

WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name.
The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?

58fb0d4f2f kbuild: simplified warning report in modpost
Refactor code so the warning report function
does nothing else than reporting warnings.
As a side effect some other code paths were cleaned
up by this.

157c23c80e kbuild: use simpler section mismatch warnings in modpost
The typical layout is now:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x372ec): Section mismatch: reference to .devinit.text:pci_scan_one_pbm in 'psycho_scan_bus'

This is first step towards more readable warnings.

310f8243a6 kbuild: link vmlinux.o before kallsyms passes
link vmlinux.o so we may report section mismatch bugs before
we start with the real link - that may error out.

91341d4b2c kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch analysis
Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will
report additional section mismatch'es but this
should in the end makes it possible to get rid of
all of them.

See help text in lib/Kconfig.debug for details.

eb8f689046 Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data
Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.

This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.
