For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on
all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The
llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast
destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast
packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast,
and we do need to know on which interface they were received.

The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
version of STP.
First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
was just copying out old data.
Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
SOCK_DGRAM.
This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.

It is legal for an application to bind to a SAP that is also being
used by the kernel. This happens if the bridge module binds to the
STP SAP, and the user wants to have a daemon for STP as well.
It is possible to have kernel doing STP on one bridge, but
let application do RSTP on another bridge.

If we use plain skb_trim(), that's wrong, because if
the SKB is cloned, and it can be because we unshared
it in the caller, we have to allow reallocation. The
pskb_trim*() family of routines is therefore the most
appropriate here.

Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)
This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.
This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

It also looks like there were 2 places where the test on sk_err was
missing from the event wait logic (in sk_stream_wait_connect and
sk_stream_wait_memory), while the rest of the sock_error() users look

and cleans up a few places that were testing ->sk_err directly.

Noticed by Olaf Hering.
The comparisons want a u8 here (the data type on the left-hand branch
is a u8 structure member, and the constant on the right-hand branch is
"~((u8) 128)"), but C turns it into an integer so we get:
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c: In function `llc_conn_ac_inc_npta_value':
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:998: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type
net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:999: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type
Fix this up by explicitly recasting the right-hand branch constant
into a "u8" once more.

So as to set the newly created sk_buff ->dev member with it, that way we stop
using dev_base->next, that is the wrong thing to do, as there may well be
several interfaces being used with LLC. This was not such a big problem after
all as most of the users of llc_alloc_frame were setting the correct dev, but

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

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.
