2013-10-01powerpc/83xx: gianfar_ptp: select 1588 clock source through dts fileAida Mynzhasova1-1/+17
Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node. For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock. Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

2013-10-01block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsingPaul Gortmaker3-4/+10
Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-09-24drivers: net: cpsw-phy-sel: Add new driver for phy mode selection for cpswMugunthan V N1-0/+28
The cpsw currently lacks code to properly set up the hardware interface mode on AM33xx. Other platforms might be equally affected. Usually, the bootloader will configure the control module register, so probably that's why such support wasn't needed in the past. In suspend mode though, this register is modified, and so it needs reprogramming after resume. This patch adds a new driver in which hardware interface can configure correct register bits when the slave is opened. The AM33xx also has a bit for each slave to configure the RMII reference clock direction. Setting it is now supported by a per-slave DT property. This code path introducted by this patch is currently exclusive for am33xx and same can be extened to various platforms via the DT compatibility property.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) If the local_df boolean is set on an SKB we have to allocate a unique ID even if IP_DF is set in the ipv4 headers, from Ansis Atteka. 2) Some fixups for the new chipset support that went into the sfc driver, from Ben Hutchings. 3) Because SCTP bypasses a good chunk of, and actually duplicates, the logic of the ipv6 output path, some IPSEC things don't get done properly.

Add a new %P variable to be used in core_pattern. This variable contains the global PID (PID in the init namespace) as %p contains the PID in the current namespace which isn't always what we want. The main use for this is to make it easier to handle crashes that happened within a container. With that new variables it's possible to have the crashes dumped into the container or forwarded to the host with the right PID (from the host's point of view).
