Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
  wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
  back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
  game.

  Anyways:

   1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
      is the correct implementation, like it should.  Instead it does
      something like a NAPI poll operation.  This leads to crashes.

      From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.

   2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
      fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
      release callbacks.

      This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
      variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
      actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.

      From Michael S.  Tsirkin.

   3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on
      an already "owned" socket.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

   4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the
      destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes
      multicast address.  From Linus Lüssing.

   5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter
      for the helper function call in the wrong register.  Fix from
      Alexei Starovoitov.

   6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the
      r8169 driver is incorrect.  Fix from Hayes Wang.

   7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see
      if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test.  It
      should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead.  Fix from Wei Liu.

   8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from
      Matthew Leach.

   9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's
      ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts
      in the latter.  Fix from Alexander Aring.

  10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct
      order, so promiscuous settings can get lost.  Fix from Stefan
      Wahren.

  11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann.

  12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and
      Erik Hugne.

  13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all
      frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e.  6lowpan) can
      crash.  Fix from Florian Westphal.

  14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it
      uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC.  From Anton
      Blanchard.

      The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only
      as a value that, once folded (f.e.  via csum_fold()) produces a
      correct 16-bit checksum.  It is legitimate, therefore, for
      csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the
      same data if their respective alignments are different.

  15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also
      from Anton Blanchard.

  16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed,
      from Anton Nayshtut.

  17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the
      garbage collection threshold.  Fix from Sabrina Dubroca.

  18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the
      chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular
      causes the firmware to shut down the PHY.  Fix from Michael Chan.

  19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as
      currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations.
      From Eric Dumazet.

  20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay()
      call, fix from Ben Hutchings.

  21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix
      from Eric Dumazet.

  22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a
      regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in
      some circumstances.  Fix from Peter Boström"

fdf57dd052 perf machine: Use map as success in ip__resolve_ams
When trying to map a bunch of instruction addresses to their respective
threads, I kept getting a lot of bogus entries [I forget the exact
reason as I patched my code months ago].

Looking through ip__resolve_ams, I noticed the check for

  if (al.sym)

and realized, most times I have an al.map definition but sometimes an
al.sym is undefined.  In the cases where al.sym is undefined, the loop
keeps going even though a valid al.map exists.

Modify this check to use the more reliable al.map.  This fixed my bogus
entries.

b39c2a57a0 perf tools: Fix strict alias issue for find_first_bit
When compiling perf tool code with gcc 4.4.7 I'm getting
following error:

    CC       util/session.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session_deliver_event’:
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:109: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules

  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: note: initialized from here
  make[1]: *** [util/session.o] Error 1
  make: *** [util/session.o] Error 2

The aliased types here are u64 and unsigned long pointers, which is safe
for the find_first_bit processing.

This error shows up for me only for gcc 4.4 on 32bit x86, even for
-Wstrict-aliasing=3, while newer gcc are quiet and scream here for
-Wstrict-aliasing={2,1}. Looks like newer gcc changed the rules for
strict alias warnings.

The gcc documentation offers workaround for valid aliasing by using
__may_alias__ attribute:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html

Using this workaround for the find_first_bit function.

98e9f03bbf perf symbols: Destroy unused symsrcs
Stephane reported that perf report and annotate failed to process data
using lots of (> 500) shared libraries.  It was because of the limit on
number of open files (ulimit -n).

Currently when perf loads a DSO, it'll look for normal and dynamic
symbol tables.  And if it fails to find out both tables, it'll iterate
all of possible symtab types.  But many of them are useless since they
have no additional information and the problem is that it's not closing
those files even though they're not used.  Fix it.

48c65bda95 perf annotate: Check availability of annotate when processing samples
The TUI of perf report and top support annotation, but stdio and GTK
don't.  So it should be checked before calling hist_entry__inc_addr_
samples() to avoid wasting resources that will never be used.

perf annotate need it regardless of UI and sort keys, so the check
of whether to allocate resources should be on the tools that have
annotate as an option in the TUI, 'report' and 'top', not on the
function called by all of them.

It caused perf annotate on ppc64 to produce zero output, since the
buckets were not being allocated.

                .type = type,
                .config = config,
                .disabled = 1,
                .exclude_kernel = 1,
        };

On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these
machines don't support .exclude_kernel.  So starting with 3.12 "perf
list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen
on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc).

This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to
check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the
exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.
