Many architectures have a stub cputime.h that only include the default
cputime.h

Lets remove the useless headers, we only need to mention that we want
the default headers on the Kbuild files.

This patch allows each architecture to add its specific assembly optimized
arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended and arch_mcs_spinlock_uncontended for
MCS lock and unlock functions.

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

        cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
                i = 3;
                do {
                        for (; i &lt;= NF; i++) {
                                if ($i == "\\") {
                                        getline;
                                        i = 1;

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.

 2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.

 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.

 4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
    ioctl, add a "get" operation to match.  From Ben Hutchings.

 5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
    from Ben Hutchings.

 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.  Basically, if we
    have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
    device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.

 7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.

 8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
    layers, from Jukka Rissanen.

10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.

11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich.

12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.

13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
    Feldman.

14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
    already get the TCI.  From Atzm Watanabe.

15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.

16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.

17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets.  From Tom

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.

 2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.

 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.

 4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
    ioctl, add a "get" operation to match.  From Ben Hutchings.

 5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
    from Ben Hutchings.

 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.  Basically, if we
    have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
    device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.

 7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.

 8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
    layers, from Jukka Rissanen.

10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.

11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich.

12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.

13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
    Feldman.

14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
    already get the TCI.  From Atzm Watanabe.

15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.

16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.

17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets.  From Tom
    Herbert.

<title>net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS</title>

<id>ea02f9411d9faa3553ed09ce0ec9f00ceae9885e</id>
<content type='text'>
For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's
currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported
by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return
-EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all
extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient.

Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as
an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information
about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel.

As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right
now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this
versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later
additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the
bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.

Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.

There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.
