      xen network backend driver · f942dc25
      Ian Campbell authored
      netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
      drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
      frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.
      
      The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
      has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
      cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
      drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.
      
      One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
      looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
      the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
      patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
      put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
      based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
      frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
      regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
      map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
      future.
      
      Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58 "xen/irq: implement
      bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
      linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
      window:
              git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git
      
       stable/backends
      this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
      cross merging into the net branch.

      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes authored
      
      The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.

      net/fec: add dual fec support for mx28 · b5680e0b
      Shawn Guo authored
      
      This patch is to add mx28 dual fec support. Here are some key notes
      for mx28 fec controller.
      
       - The mx28 fec controller naming ENET-MAC is a different IP from FEC
         used on other i.mx variants.  But they are basically compatible
         on software interface, so it's possible to share the same driver.
       - ENET-MAC design on mx28 made an improper assumption that it runs
         on a big-endian system. As the result, driver has to swap every
         frame going to and coming from the controller.
       - The external phys can only be configured by fec0, which means fec1
         can not work independently and both phys need to be configured by
         mii_bus attached on fec0.
       - ENET-MAC reset will get mac address registers reset too.
       - ENET-MAC MII/RMII mode and 10M/100M speed are configured
         differently FEC.
       - ETHER_EN bit must be set to get ENET-MAC interrupt work.

      drivers/net/tile/: on-chip network drivers for the tile architecture · e5a06939
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture,
      supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims.
      
      The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another
      three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual
      tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers.
      
      Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the
      Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review.

      net: move MII outside of NET_ETHERNET, fix kconfig warning · 81ccb499
      Randy Dunlap authored
      
      We have USB, PCMCIA, and gigabit ethernet drivers that select
      MII even though NET_ETHERNET is not enabled, so make MII not
      be dependent on NET_ETHERNET.  It is still dependent on NET
      and NETDEVICES.
      
      Fixes kconfig unmet dependency warning (shortened, was very long string):

      PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) · 00959ade
      Dmitry Kozlov authored
      PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework
      NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria
           (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists)
      NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module
      
      This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which
      dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in
      comparison of existing user-space implementation
      (poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project
      (https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/
      
      ) to utilize this module,
      it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
      pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.
      
      There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are:
      1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
      2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated
      3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages
      4. fixed many coding style issues
      Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
