Pull networking updates from David Miller:

1) New ipset extensions for matching on destination MAC addresses, from
Stefano Brivio.

2) Add ipv4 ttl and tos, plus ipv6 flow label and hop limit offloads to
nfp driver. From Stefano Brivio.

3) Implement GRO for plain UDP sockets, from Paolo Abeni.

4) Lots of work from Michał Mirosław to eliminate the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT
bit so that we could support the entire vlan_tci value.

5) Rework the IPSEC policy lookups to better optimize more usecases,
from Florian Westphal.

6) Infrastructure changes eliminating direct manipulation of SKB lists
wherever possible, and to always use the appropriate SKB list
helpers. This work is still ongoing...

7) Lots of PHY driver and state machine improvements and
simplifications, from Heiner Kallweit.

8) Various TSO deferral refinements, from Eric Dumazet.

9) Add ntuple filter support to aquantia driver, from Dmitry Bogdanov.

10) Batch dropping of XDP packets in tuntap, from Jason Wang.

11) Lots of cleanups and improvements to the r8169 driver from Heiner
Kallweit, including support for ->xmit_more. This driver has been
getting some much needed love since he started working on it.

12) Lots of new forwarding selftests from Petr Machata.

13) Enable VXLAN learning in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

14) Packed ring support for virtio, from Tiwei Bie.

15) Add new Aquantia AQtion USB driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov.

16) Add XDP support to dpaa2-eth driver, from Ioana Ciocoi Radulescu.

17) Implement coalescing on TCP backlog queue, from Eric Dumazet.

18) Implement carrier change in tun driver, from Nicolas Dichtel.

19) Support msg_zerocopy in UDP, from Willem de Bruijn.

20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when
the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern.

21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility
completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz
Shlomo and others.

22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and
therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata.

23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them
in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni.

24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu.

25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan.

26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of
the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is
designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in
the future.

27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan.

Merge branch 'mlxsw-ERP-sharing-multiple-masks'

Ido Schimmel says:

====================
mlxsw: spectrum: acl: Introduce ERP sharing by multiple masks

Jiri says:

The Spectrum-2 hardware has limitation number of ERPs per-region. In
order to accommodate more masks than number of ERPs, the hardware
supports to insert rules with delta bits. By that, the rules with masks
that differ in up-to 8 consecutive bits can share the same ERP.

Patches 1 and 2 fix couple of issues that would appear in existing
selftests after adding delta support

Patch 3 introduces a generic object aggregation library. Now it is
static, but it will get extended for recalculation of aggregations in
the future in order to reach more optimal aggregation.

Patch 4 just simply converts existing ERP code to use the objagg library
instead of a rhashtable.

Patches 5-9 do more or less small changes to prepare ground for the last
patch.

Patch 10 fills-up delta callbacks of objagg library and utilizes the
delta bits for rule insertion.

The last patch adds selftest to test the mlxsw Spectrum-2 delta flows.

Currently the ERPs are tracked internally in a hashtable. Benefit from

point, there is no nesting of objects done, as the delta_create callback

Pull more y2038 work from Arnd Bergman:

y2038: convert more syscalls

Here is another set of system call changes to prepare the change over to
64-bit time_t. As before, the strategy is to change system calls that
take a 'struct timespec' argument over to 'struct __kernel_timespec',
which for now is defined to be the same but will get redefined to use a
64-bit time_t argument once we are ready to modify the system call tables.

The major change from previous patches is that the plan is no longer
to directly use the 'compat' system calls for providing compatibility
with the existing 32-bit time_t based entry points. Instead, we rename
the compat code to something that makes more sense on 32-bit architectures,
e.g. compat_timespec becomes old_timespec32.

With the renamed types in place, change over the 'stat' and 'utimes'
families of system calls, sched_rr_get_interval, recvmmsg and
rt_sigtimedwait. Another series for poll, select and io_pgetevents is
currently being tested.

Merge branch 'mlxsw-Introduce-algorithmic-TCAM-support'

Ido Schimmel says:

====================
mlxsw: Introduce algorithmic TCAM support

The Spectrum-2 ASIC uses an algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM) where multiple
exact matches lookups are performed instead of a single lookup as with
standard circuit TCAM (C-TCAM) memory. This allows for higher scale and
reduced power consumption.

The lookups are performed by masking a packet using different masks
(e.g., {dst_ip/24, ethtype}) defined for the region and looking for an
exact match. Eventually, the rule with the highest priority will be
picked.

Since the number of masks per-region is limited, the ASIC includes a
C-TCAM that can be used as a spill area for rules that do not fit into
the A-TCAM.

The driver currently uses a C-TCAM only mode which is similar to
Spectrum-1. However, this mode severely limits both the number of
supported ACL rules and the performance of the ACL lookup.

This patch set introduces initial support for the A-TCAM mode where the
C-TCAM is only used for rule spillage.

The first five patches add the registers and ASIC resources needed in
order to make use of the A-TCAM.

Next three patches are the "meat" and add the eRP core which is used to
manage the masks used by each ACL region. The individual commit messages
are lengthy and aim to thoroughly explain the subject.

The next seven patches perform small adjustments in the code and the
related data structures and are meant to prepare the code base to the
introduction of the A-TCAM in the last two patches.

Various A-TCAM optimization will be the focus of follow-up patch sets:

* Pruning - Used to reduce the number of lookups. Each rule will include
a prune vector that indicates which masks should not be considered for
further lookups as they cannot result in a higher priority match

* Bloom filter - Used to reduce the number of lookups. Before performing
a lookup with a given mask the ASIC will consult a bloom filter
(managed by the driver) that indicates whether a match might exist using
the considered mask

* Masks aggregation - Used to increase scale and reduce lookups. Masks
that only differ by up to eight consecutive bits (delta bits) can be
aggregated into a single mask. The delta bits then become a part of the
rule's key. For example, dst_ip/16 and dst_ip/17 can be represented as
dst_ip/16 with a delta bit of one. Rules using the aggregated mask then
specify whether the 17-th bit should be masked or not and its value
