When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.
The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.
This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.
The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.
Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:
When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:
1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
or xapic phys driver at first.
2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.
3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
FADT PHYSICAL.
Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

When trying to connect to an AP that advertises HT but not
VHT, the mac80211 code erroneously uses the configuration
from the AP as is instead of checking it against regulatory
and local capabilities. This can lead to using an invalid
or even inexistent channel (like 11/HT40+).
Additionally, the return flags from downgrading must be
ORed together, to collect them from all of the downgrades.

This field was needed to differentiate memory slots created by the new
API, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, from those by the old equivalent,
KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION, whose support was dropped long before:
commit b74a07beed
KVM: Remove kernel-allocated memory regions
Although we also have private memory slots to which KVM allocates
memory with vm_mmap(), !user_alloc slots in other words, the slot id
should be enough for differentiating them.
Note: corresponding function parameters will be removed later.

There are two ways to express an interruption subclass:
- As a bitmask, as used in cr6.
- As a number, as used in the I/O interruption word.
Unfortunately, we have treated the I/O interruption word as if it
contained the bitmask as well, which went unnoticed so far as
- (not-yet-released) qemu made the same mistake, and
- Linux guest kernels don't check the isc value in the I/O interruption
word for subchannel interrupts.
Make sure that we treat the I/O interruption word correctly.

The Linux kernel currently implements the GARP VLAN Registration
Protocol (GVRP) from IEEE 802.1Q-1998 (applicant-only participant).
When the GVRP flag is set for a VLAN interface on a Linux host, the
host advertises its membership in the VLAN to the attached bridge/
switch, so that it is not necessary to manually configure the bridge/
switch port to participate in the VLAN.
GVRP has been superseded by the Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol
(MVRP) in IEEE 802.1Q-2011, which addresses scalability concerns about
the earlier protocol. The following patches add support for MVRP to
the Linux kernel and iproute2 utility. They are based largely off of
the existing implementation of GVRP, but have been modified for the
new PDU structure and state machine.
This implementation was tested with two Juniper EX4200 switches.

At the moment, macvtap crashes are observed if macvtap is attached
to an interface with LRO enabled.
The crash in question is BUG() in macvtap_skb_to_vnet_hdr.
This happens because several drivers set gso_size but not gso_type
in incoming skbs.
This didn't use to be the case: with intel cards on 3.2 and older
kernels, with qlogic - on 3.4 and older kernels, so it's a regression if
not a recent one.
The following patches fix this for qlogic, broadcom and intel drivers.
I tested that the patch fixes the crash for ixgbe but
don't have qlogic/broadcom hardware to test.
I also only tested TCPv4.

In an effort to improve the out-of-the-box experience with Linux kernels for
VMware users, VMware is working on readying the VM Sockets (VSOCK, formerly
VMCI Sockets) (vsock) kernel module for inclusion in the Linux kernel. The
purpose of this post is to acquire feedback on the vsock kernel module.
Unlike previous submissions, where the new socket family was entirely reliant
on VMware's VMCI PCI device (and thus VMware's hypervisor), VM Sockets is now
completely[1] separated out into two parts, each in its own module:
o Core socket code, which is transport-neutral and invokes transport
callbacks to communicate with the hypervisor. This is vsock.ko.
o A VMCI transport, which communicates over VMCI with the VMware hypervisor.
This is vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko, and it registers with the core module
as a transport.
This should provide a path to introducing additional transports, for example
virtio, with the ultimate goal being to make this new socket family
hypervisor-neutral.
[1] If Gerd tries it and determines this to be false (still), I'll ship him
a keg of beer.

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.
Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.
The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.
For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:
