Rework the remaining setsockopt code to pass a sockptr_t instead of a
plain user pointer. This removes the last remaining set_fs(KERNEL_DS)

The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many
socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same
sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which
results in a lot of duplicate code.With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this
gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each
socket protocol implementation.To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in
struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common
sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go
through.We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize
it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as
timeval and timespec structures.Acked-by: Stefan Schmidt

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy - Linus ]Cc: Al Viro

Changes since v1:
Added changes in these files:
drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
drivers/vhost/net.c
fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
security/tomoyo/network.cBefore:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success."int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.
rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.Userspace API is not changed.

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

The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace. This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

We lack compat ioctl support through most of the ATM code. This patch
deals with most of it, and I can now at least use BR2684 and PPPoATM
with 32-bit userspace.I haven't added a .compat_ioctl method to struct atm_ioctl, because
AFAICT none of the current users need any conversion -- so we can just
call the ->ioctl() method in every case. I looked at br2684, clip, lec,
mpc, pppoatm and atmtcp.In svc_compat_ioctl() the only mangling which is needed is to change
COMPAT_ATM_ADDPARTY to ATM_ADDPARTY. Although it's defined as
_IOW('a', ATMIOC_SPECIAL+4,struct atm_iobuf)
it doesn't actually _take_ a struct atm_iobuf as an argument -- it takes
a struct sockaddr_atmsvc, which _is_ the same between 32-bit and 64-bit
code, so doesn't need conversion.Almost all of vcc_ioctl() would have been identical, so I converted that
into a core do_vcc_ioctl() function with an 'int compat' argument.I've done the same with atm_dev_ioctl(), where there _are_ a few
differences, but still it's relatively contained and there would
otherwise have been a lot of duplication.I haven't done any of the actual device-specific ioctls, although I've
added a compat_ioctl method to struct atmdev_ops.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.[ Integrated AF_IUCV build fixes from Andrew Morton... -DaveM ]

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
