Maciej Żenczykowski 43db362d3a net: get rid of some pointless casts to sockaddr
The following 4 functions:
  move_addr_to_kernel
  move_addr_to_user
  verify_iovec
  verify_compat_iovec
are always effectively called with a sockaddr_storage.

Make this explicit by changing their signature.

This removes a large number of casts from sockaddr_storage to sockaddr.

Anton Blanchard 228e548e60 net: Add sendmmsg socket system call
This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.

I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c

The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.

64B UDP

batch   pkts/sec
1       804570
2       872800 (+ 8 %)
4       916556 (+14 %)
8       939712 (+17 %)
16      952688 (+18 %)
32      956448 (+19 %)
64      964800 (+20 %)

64B raw socket

batch   pkts/sec
1       1201449
2       1350028 (+12 %)
4       1461416 (+22 %)
8       1513080 (+26 %)
16      1541216 (+28 %)
32      1553440 (+29 %)
64      1557888 (+30 %)

We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30%
on raw socket send.

Heiko Carstens 60c2ffd3d2 net: fix compat_sys_recvmmsg parameter type
compat_sys_recvmmsg has a compat_timespec parameter and not a
timespec parameter. This way we also get rid of an odd cast.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

David S. Miller b7058842c9 net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.
This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

Al Viro 8920e8f94c [PATCH] Fix 32bit sendmsg() flaw
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.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
