Now that network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
SOL_SOCKET sockopt SO_TIMESTAMPNS.
This command is similar to SO_TIMESTAMP, but permits transmission of
a 'timespec struct' instead of a 'timeval struct' control message.
(nanosecond resolution instead of microsecond)
Control message is labelled SCM_TIMESTAMPNS instead of SCM_TIMESTAMP
A socket cannot mix SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMESTAMPNS : the two modes are
mutually exclusive.
sock_recv_timestamp() became too big to be fully inlined so I added a
__sock_recv_timestamp() helper function.

Now network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
ioctl() SIOCGSTAMPNS command to get timestamps in 'struct timespec'.
User programs can thus access to nanosecond resolution.

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

If more than one file descriptor was sent with an SCM_RIGHTS message,
and on the receiving end, after installing a nonzero (but not all)
file descritpors the process runs out of fds, then the already
installed fds will be lost (userspace will have no way of knowing
about them).
The following patch makes sure, that at least the already installed
fds are sent to userspace. It doesn't solve the issue of losing file
descriptors in case of an EFAULT on the userspace buffer.

This patch extends current iptables compatibility layer in order to get
32bit iptables to work on 64bit kernel. Current layer is insufficient due
to alignment checks both in kernel and user space tools.
Patch is for current net-2.6.17 with addition of move of ipt_entry_{match|
target} definitions to xt_entry_{match|target}.

When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same
userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass.
Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches
running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with
unaligned CMSG data areas
Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s()
to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>
sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!
This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure. Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.
I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:
http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c
Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
