Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.
Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock
is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide
it's own clock.
This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have
calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer
base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average
frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary
intended usage(?)) and jitter.
Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference
from Intel's base.
Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program
the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C).
The average frequency (= bit rate) is:
66.66x MHz / (A + (B + 1) / (C + 1))
The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the
cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an
unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is
what it really counts.
I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x
and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it
looks like the avg frequency is:
(on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A + B / (C + 1)).
Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would
simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on
IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?).
Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm,
while <1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of
course).
The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate
(my IXP425 533 MHz quits at > 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the
minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s).
This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode.

This replaces dma_sync_single() with dma_sync_single_for_cpu() because
dma_sync_single() is an obsolete API; include/linux/dma-mapping.h says:
