Alexei Starovoitov 783e327b69 net: filter: document internal instruction encoding
This patch adds a description of eBPFs instruction encoding in order
to bring the documentation in line with the implementation.

Alexei Starovoitov e430f34ee5 net: filter: cleanup A/X name usage
The macro 'A' used in internal BPF interpreter:
 #define A regs[insn->a_reg]
was easily confused with the name of classic BPF register 'A', since
'A' would mean two different things depending on context.

This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:

- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers

- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
        __u8    code;           /* opcode */
        __u8    dst_reg:4;      /* dest register */
        __u8    src_reg:4;      /* source register */
        __s16   off;            /* signed offset */
        __s32   imm;            /* signed immediate constant */
};

- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
  BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
  BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

Mahesh Bandewar e9f0fb8849 bonding: Add tlb_dynamic_lb parameter for tlb mode
The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active
flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime
this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less
re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables
this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course
the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing
that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if
the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup.

The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier
behavior.

Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with
4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these
changes. Following was the command used for those 200 instances -

    netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -s 5 -H <host> -- -r81920,81920

    Before change: 1,367.11

Mahesh Bandewar f05b42eaa2 bonding: Added bond_tlb_xmit() for tlb mode.
Re-organized the xmit function for the lb mode separating tlb xmit
from the alb mode. This will enable use of the hashing policies
like 802.3ad mode. Also extended use of xmit-hash-policy to tlb mode.

Now the tlb-mode defaults to BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER2 if the xmit policy
module parameter is not set (just like 802.3ad, or Xor mode).

Chema Gonzalez 4cd3675ebf filter: added BPF random opcode
Added a new ancillary load (bpf call in eBPF parlance) that produces
a 32-bit random number. We are implementing it as an ancillary load
(instead of an ISA opcode) because (a) it is simpler, (b) allows easy
JITing, and (c) seems more in line with generic ISAs that do not have
"get a random number" as a instruction, but as an OS call.

The main use for this ancillary load is to perform random packet sampling.

====================
this is a pull request of 16 patches for the 3.15 release cycle.

Bjorn Van Tilt contributes a patch which fixes a memory leak in usb_8dev's
usb_8dev_start_xmit()s error path. A patch by Robert Schwebel fixes a typo in
the can documentation. The remaining patches all target the c_can driver. Two
of them are by me; they add a missing netif_napi_del() and return value
checking. Thomas Gleixner contributes 12 patches, which address several
shortcomings in the driver like hardware initialisation, concurrency, message
ordering and poor performance.
