<title>networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()</title>

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:

    @@
    identifier p, p2;
    expression len, skb, data;
    type t, t2;
    @@
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    |
    -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, len);
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, len);
    )

    @@
    type t, t2;
    identifier p, p2;
    expression skb, data;
    @@
    t *p;
    ...
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    |
    -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p));
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p));
    )

    @@
    expression skb, len, data;
    @@
    -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len);

<title>Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/net/irda/</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4f06e652721da79e032d3ba38bc1589bd553a5fc</id>
<content type='text'>
When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image.  Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.

To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify.  The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.

Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.

This patch annotates drivers in drivers/net/irda/.

Use the normal kernel debugging mechanism which also
enables dynamic_debug at the same time.

Other miscellanea:

o Remove sysctl for irda_debug
o Remove function tracing like uses (use ftrace instead)
o Coalesce formats
o Realign arguments
o Remove unnecessary OOM messages

o Add missing newlines
o Realign arguments
o Remove unnecessary OOM message logging as
  there's a generic stack dump already on OOM.

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment.  Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL &lt;http://www.gnu.org/licenses/&gt; so that we do not have to keep
updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

<title>drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ede23fa8161c1a04aa1b3bf5447812ca14b3fef1</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better
not used.  static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists
so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO
to the more common kernel style with zalloc.

Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent
and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead.

Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of
dma_zalloc_coherent.

Realign arguments as appropriate.

Reduce the number of calls required to alloc
a zeroed block of memory.

Trivially reduces overall object size.

Other changes around these removals
o Neaten call argument alignment
o Remove an unnecessary OOM message after dma_alloc_coherent failure
o Remove unnecessary gfp_t stack variable

I believe these error messages are already logged
on allocation failure by warn_alloc_failed and so
get a dump_stack on OOM.

Remove the unnecessary additional error logging.

Around these deletions:

o Alignment neatening.
o Remove unnecessary casts of dma_alloc_coherent.
o Hoist assigns from ifs.
