Sparse builds have been warning for a really long time now
that etherdevice.h has a conversion that is unsafe.
include/linux/etherdevice.h:79:32: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer
This code change fixes the issue and generates the exact
same assembly before/after (checked on x86_64)
Fixes: 2c722fe1c8 (etherdevice: Optimize a few is_<foo>_ether_addr functions)

This change does two things. First it fixes a sparse error for the fact
that the __be16 degrades to an integer. Since that is actually what I am
kind of doing I am simply working around that by forcing both sides of the
comparison to u16.
Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for
big endian systems such as PowerPC since it was masking the value before
doing the comparison. So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out
and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN.
Lastly I pulled this all out into its own function. I notices there are
similar checks in a number of other places so this function can be reused
there to help reduce overhead in these paths as well.

This change makes it so that we process the address in
is_multicast_ether_addr at the same size as the other calls. This allows
us to avoid duplicate reads when used with other calls such as
is_zero_ether_addr or eth_addr_copy. In addition I have added a 64 bit
version of the function so in eth_type_trans we can process the destination
address as a 64 bit value throughout.

This patch adds two new helper functions skb_put_padto and eth_skb_pad.
These functions deviate from the standard skb_pad or skb_padto in that they
will also update the length and tail pointers so that they reflect the
padding added to the frame.
The eth_skb_pad helper is meant to be used with Ethernet devices to update
either Rx or Tx frames so that they report the correct size. The
skb_put_padto helper is meant to be used primarily in the transmit path for
network devices that need frames to be padded up to some minimum size and
don't wish to simply update the length somewhere external to the frame.
The motivation behind this is that there are a number of implementations
throughout the network device drivers that are all doing the same thing,
but each a little bit differently and as a result several implementations
contain bugs such as updating the length without updating the tail offset
and other similar issues.

This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.
I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
several is_<foo>_ether_addr functions can be slightly
improved by using u32 dereferences.
I believe all current uses of is_zero_ether_addr and
is_broadcast_ether_addr are u16 aligned, so always use
u16 references to improve those functions performance.
Document the u16 alignment requirements.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.
Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
callers to implement error handling nicely.
This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.
We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access. Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.
eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0
VF VF PF
| | | <-- stand-in for uplink
| | |
--------------------------
| Embedded Switch |
--------------------------
|
MAC <-- uplink
But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.
In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.
This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.
