Daniel Borkmann d70a3f887a doc: packet: simplify tpacket example code
This patch simplifies the tpacket_v3 example code a bit by getting rid
of unecessary macro wrappers, removing some debugging code so that it is
more to the point, and also adds a header comment. Now this example code
is the very minimum one needs to start from when dealing with tpacket_v3
and ~100 lines smaller than before.

Daniel Borkmann 4eb0614825 doc: packet: add minimal TPACKET_V3 example code
Lost in space for a long time, but it finally came back to us from
some ancient code tombs. This patch adds a minimal runnable example
of Linux' packet mmap(2) from Chetan Loke's TPACKET_V3. Special
thanks to David S. Miller, and also Eric Leblond and Victor Julien!

Daniel Borkmann d1ee40f960 doc: packet_mmap: update doc to implementation status
This improves the packet_mmap.txt document in the following ways:

 * Add initial information about different TPACKET versions
 * Add initial information about packet fanout
 * Add pointer to BPF document (since this also could be of interest)
 * 'Fix' minor, rather cosmetic things

Information partially taken from related commit messages.

Paul Chavent 5920cd3a41 packet: tx_ring: allow the user to choose tx data offset
The tx data offset of packet mmap tx ring used to be :
(TPACKET2_HDRLEN - sizeof(struct sockaddr_ll))

The problem is that, with SOCK_RAW socket, the payload (14 bytes after
the beginning of the user data) is misaligned.

This patch allows to let the user gives an offset for it's tx data if
he desires.

Set sock option PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF to 1, then specify in each frame of
your tx ring tp_net for SOCK_DGRAM, or tp_mac for SOCK_RAW.

Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Scott McMillan 614f60fa9d packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities
This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.

PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING.  However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP.  SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.

If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).

David S. Miller 889b8f964f packet: Kill CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP.
Early on this was an experimental facility that few
people other than Alexey Kuznetsov played with.

Now it's a pretty fundamental thing and as people add
more features to AF_PACKET sockets this config options
creates ifdef spaghetti.

So kill it off.

Johann Baudy 69e3c75f4d net: TX_RING and packet mmap
New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for
transmission.

- It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism,
  based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space
  which is mmapped from user space).

- It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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.

Let it rip!
