Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
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. 18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay Subramanian. 19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf. 20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination address. From Christoph Paasch. 21) Support 10G in generic phylib. From Andy Fleming. 22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX hash, if provided. From Tom Herbert. The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (2064 commits) net/cxgb4: Fix referencing freed adapter ipv6: reallocate addrconf router for ipv6 address when lo device up fib_frontend: fix possible NULL pointer dereference rtnetlink: remove IFLA_BOND_SLAVE definition rtnetlink: remove check for fill_slave_info in rtnl_have_link_slave_info qlcnic: update version to 5.3.55 qlcnic: Enhance logic to calculate msix vectors. qlcnic: Refactor interrupt coalescing code for all adapters. qlcnic: Update poll controller code path qlcnic: Interrupt code cleanup qlcnic: Enhance Tx timeout debugging. qlcnic: Use bool for rx_mac_learn. bonding: fix u64 division rtnetlink: add missing IFLA_BOND_AD_INFO_UNSPEC sfc: Use the correct maximum TX DMA ring size for SFC9100 Add Shradha Shah as the sfc driver maintainer. net/vxlan: Share RX skb de-marking and checksum checks with ovs tulip: cleanup by using ARRAY_SIZE() ip_tunnel: clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() in case dst_link_failure() is called net/cxgb4: Don't retrieve stats during recovery ...

/*
- * This file describes reciprocical division.
+ * This algorithm is based on the paper "Division by Invariant
+ * Integers Using Multiplication" by Torbjörn Granlund and Peter
+ * L. Montgomery.
*
- * This optimizes the (A/B) problem, when A and B are two u32
- * and B is a known value (but not known at compile time)
+ * The assembler implementation from Agner Fog, which this code is
+ * based on, can be found here:
+ * http://www.agner.org/optimize/asmlib.zip
*
- * The math principle used is :
- * Let RECIPROCAL_VALUE(B) be (((1LL << 32) + (B - 1))/ B)
- * Then A / B = (u32)(((u64)(A) * (R)) >> 32)
- *
- * This replaces a divide by a multiply (and a shift), and
- * is generally less expensive in CPU cycles.
+ * This optimization for A/B is helpful if the divisor B is mostly
+ * runtime invariant. The reciprocal of B is calculated in the
+ * slow-path with reciprocal_value(). The fast-path can then just use
+ * a much faster multiplication operation with a variable dividend A
+ * to calculate the division A/B.
*/
-/*
- * Computes the reciprocal value (R) for the value B of the divisor.
- * Should not be called before each reciprocal_divide(),
- * or else the performance is slower than a normal divide.
