The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1
byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info
struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that
information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp.
union is used for the additional information so that it can be
stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info.
Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field
depending on the context, optional additional structures) this
is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself.
TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver
doesn't support hardware time stamping.
The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around
ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing
network device drivers which don't support hardware time
stamping and know nothing about it:
- they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified
- the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk
alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan()
Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe.
The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software
TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not

User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned

to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the

clocksource: allow usage independent of timekeeping.c
So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.
The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)
As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounter
The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

iwlwifi: fix FAT channel config for 5000 series
The test to find out if we have FAT channels do not consider that
the value of regulatory_bands for the 5000 series is larger than its
eeprom size. Using the eeprom size is strange in itself.
Use a new EEPROM_REGULATORY_BAND_NO_FAT to indicate no FAT support
and test for that explicitly.

mac80211: split managed/ibss code a little more
It appears that you can completely mess up mac80211 in IBSS
mode by sending it a disassoc or deauth: it'll stop queues
and do a lot more but not ever do anything again. Fix this
by not handling all those frames in IBSS mode,

cfg80211: allow users to request removing a BSS
This patch introduces cfg80211_unlink_bss, a function to
allow a driver to remove a BSS from the internal list and
make it not show up in scan results any more -- this is
to be used when the driver detects that the BSS is no
longer available.

cfg80211: free_priv for BSS info
When cfg80211 users have their own allocated data in the per-BSS
private data, they will need to free this when the BSS struct is
destroyed. Add a free_priv method and fix one place where the BSS
was kfree'd rather than released properly.

mac80211: dont add BSS when creating IBSS
There's no need to create a BSS struct only to pass it to
ieee80211_sta_join_ibss, so refactor this function into
__ieee80211_sta_join_ibss which takes all the relevant
paramters, and ieee80211_sta_join_ibss which takes a BSS
struct (used when joining an IBSS that already has other
members).

cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)
This patch adds basic scan capability to cfg80211/nl80211 and
changes mac80211 to use it. The BSS list that cfg80211 maintains
is made driver-accessible with a private area in each BSS struct,
but mac80211 doesn't yet use it. That's another large project.
