* kernel: update bcma and ssb to wireless-testing master-2013-09-09Hauke Mehrtens2013-09-123-187/+422

* kernel: align the skb padding to power of twoFelix Fietkau2013-09-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The skb is usually started by a padding which allows the protocols in the network stack to add their headers in front of the payload. The skb can be reallocated in case the preallocated padding is not large enough. This can for example happen in the function __skb_cow which will check the requested extra headroom and allocate more buffer when the requested headroom is bigger than the available one. The extra buffer is aligned again to the multiple of the NET_SKB_PAD of the target architecture. The macro used to create the multiple of the NET_SKB_PAD is written in a way which allows only values power two as alignment parameter. The currently used value of 48 bytes can not be written as n ** 2 but as 2 ** 4 + 2 ** 5. The extra buffer is therefore not always the multiple of 48 but can be 16, 64, 80, 128, 144 and so on. The generated values are also not monotonic (48 requested bytes are mapped to 80 allocated bytes and 49 requested bytes are mapped to 64 allocated bytes). These unexpected small values result in more reallocations of the buffer. This was noticed prominently during tests between two QCA9558 720 MHz devices which were connected via ethernet to PCs and had a HT40 802.11n 3x3 link between each other. The throughput PC-to-PC during iperf TCP runs increased reliable from 186 Mibit/s to 214 Mibit/s in one direction and from 195 Mibit/s to 220 Mibit/s in the other direction. This is a performance increase of ~14% just by reducing the amount of reallocations. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@open-mesh.com> SVN-Revision: 37948

* kernel: don't hide the 'Warning: unable to open an initial console' messageGabor Juhos2013-08-271-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The 'Warning: unable to open an initial console' message indicates an error in the rootfs. Remove the patch which hides the warning. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> SVN-Revision: 37848
* kernel: ensure that /dev/console exists in initramfsGabor Juhos2013-08-271-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | Linux expects that the /dev/console node is present in the rootfs image. Create the node in initramfs, in order to make std{in,out,err} usable even in early init process. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> SVN-Revision: 37846

* kernel: crashlog: Avoid out-of-bounds writeFelix Fietkau2013-08-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vsnprintf returns the number of chars that would have been written, not the actual number of chars written. This can lead to crashlog_buf->len being too big which in turn can lead to get_maxlen() returning negative numbers. The length argument of kmsg_dump_get_buffer will be casted to a size_t which makes a negative input a big positive number allowing kmsg_dump_get_buffer to write out of bounds. Fix this by using vscnprintf which returns the actually written number of chars. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> SVN-Revision: 37820

* kernel: fix DMA error when BCM4331 is connected to BCM4706Hauke Mehrtens2013-08-051-0/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | The BCM4331 supports a PCIe max request size of 512 bytes and uses that, but the PCIe controller in the BCM4706 just supports 128 Bytes and that causes a DMA error for packages bigger than 126 bytes. This fixes the problem by setting the BCM4331 also to 128 Bytes. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> SVN-Revision: 37709
