[MIPS] VPE: reimplement ELF loader.
Loading ELF binaries based on the section table is totally wrong. This
still leaves the other fat bug of referencing symbols in an executable
unfixed, so people better don't run strip on their binaries ...
As added bonus the new loader is also 23 lines shorter.
On MP configurations it's highly dubious what this code will actually
affect since blasting away cachelines may or may not do the right
thing wrt. cache coherency.
[MIPS] Don't abort the build process if '-msym32' isn't supported
-msym32 and previously the strategy to tell the compiler to generate
64-bit code but the assembler to put it into 32-bit ELF was initially
a hack to get around the lack of proper 64-bit binutils support and
later turned into a neat optimization with significant code size
savings. But it's really just an optimization so there is nothing
wrong with just dropping the option (and whatever else goes along with
it, I forgot all the nasty details) on the floor if due to a vintage
compiler it can't be suported.

[MIPS] Dyntick support for SMTC:
The kernel currently only supports broadcasting of the timer interrupt
from a single timer, not multicasting into two multicast groups of
processors. So the implemented mechanism for SMTC works by broadcasting
the cp0 compare interrupt on VPE 0 and ignoring it on any additional VPEs.

This replaces the MIPS-specific to_tm function with the generic

that rtc_time_to_tm uses epoch 70 while to_tm uses 1970, so the result of
rtc_time_to_tm needs to be fixed up.

pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.
This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which

working anyway for most people got forgotten.

[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
ndisc_redirect_rcv():
if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
on_link = 1;
} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
link-local.\n");
return;
}
This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can

non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.
In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.
