Merge branch 'ethtool-mm-api-consolidation'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
ethtool mm API consolidation

This series consolidates the behavior of the 2 drivers that implement
the ethtool MAC Merge layer by making NXP ENETC commit its preemptible
traffic classes to hardware only when MM TX is active (same as Ocelot).

Then, after resolving an issue with the ENETC driver, it restricts user
space from entering 2 states which don't make sense:

- pmac-enabled off tx-enabled on verify-enabled *
- pmac-enabled * tx-enabled off verify-enabled on

Then, it introduces a selftest (ethtool_mm.sh) which puts everything
together and tests all valid configurations known to me.

This is simultaneously the v2 of "[PATCH net-next 0/2] ethtool mm API
improvements":
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230415173454.3970647-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
which had caused some problems to openlldp. Those were solved in the
meantime, see:
https://github.com/intel/openlldp/commit/11171b474f6f3cbccac5d608b7f26b32ff72c651

and of "[RFC PATCH net-next] selftests: forwarding: add a test for MAC

net: enetc: only commit preemptible TCs to hardware when MM TX is active

This was left as TODO in commit 01e23b2b3bad ("net: enetc: add support
for preemptible traffic classes") since it's relatively complicated.

Where this makes a difference is with a configuration as follows:

ethtool --set-mm eno0 pmac-enabled on tx-enabled on verify-enabled on

Preemptible packets should only be sent when the MAC Merge TX direction
becomes active (i.o.w. when the verification process succeeds, aka when
the link partner confirms it can process preemptible traffic). But the
tc qdisc with the preemptible traffic classes is offloaded completely
asynchronously w.r.t. the MM becoming active.

The ENETC manual does suggest that this should be handled in the driver:
"On startup, software should wait for the verification process to
complete (MMCSR[VSTS]=011) before initiating traffic".

Adding the necessary logic allows future selftests to uphold the claim
that an inactive or disabled MAC Merge layer should never send data
packets through the pMAC.

This change moves enetc_set_ptcfpr() from enetc.c to enetc_ethtool.c,
where its only caller is now - enetc_mm_commit_preemptible_tcs().

Merge branch 'add-kernel-tc-mqprio-and-tc-taprio-support-for-preemptible-traffic-classes'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
Add kernel tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

The last RFC in August 2022 contained a proposal for the UAPI of both
TSN standards which together form Frame Preemption (802.1Q and 802.3):
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220816222920.1952936-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

It wasn't clear at the time whether the 802.1Q portion of Frame Preemption
should be exposed via the tc qdisc (mqprio, taprio) or via some other
layer (perhaps also ethtool like the 802.3 portion, or dcbnl), even
though the options were discussed extensively, with pros and cons:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220816222920.1952936-3-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

So the 802.3 portion got submitted separately and finally was accepted:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230119122705.73054-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

leaving the only remaining question: how do we expose the 802.1Q bits?

This series proposes that we use the Qdisc layer, through separate
(albeit very similar) UAPI in mqprio and taprio, and that both these
Qdiscs pass the information down to the offloading device driver through
the common mqprio offload structure (which taprio also passes).

An implementation is provided for the NXP LS1028A on-board Ethernet
endpoint (enetc). Previous versions also contained support for its
embedded switch (felix), but this needs more work and will be submitted
separately.

net: enetc: add support for preemptible traffic classes

PFs which support the MAC Merge layer also have a set of 8 registers
called "Port traffic class N frame preemption register (PTC0FPR - PTC7FPR)".
Through these, a traffic class (group of TX rings of same dequeue
priority) can be mapped to the eMAC or to the pMAC.

There's nothing particularly spectacular here. We should probably only
commit the preemptible TCs to hardware once the MAC Merge layer became
active, but unlike Felix, we don't have an IRQ that notifies us of that.
We'd have to sleep for up to verifyTime (127 ms) to wait for a
resolution coming from the verification state machine; not only from the
ndo_setup_tc() code path, but also from enetc_mm_link_state_update().
Since it's relatively complicated and has a relatively small benefit,
I'm not doing it.

BPF:

- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.

- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to

- detects per-port frame preemption capability and only writes pMAC

- stops enabling the pMAC by default

Additionally, I noticed some build warnings in the driver which are new

Create enetc_port_mac_wr() which writes both the PM0 and PM1 register
with the same value (if frame preemption is supported on this port).
Also create enetc_port_mac_rd() which reads from PM0 - the assumption
being that PM1 contains just the same value.

This will be necessary when we enable the MAC Merge layer properly, and
the pMAC becomes operational.

net: enetc: stop configuring pMAC in lockstep with eMAC

The MWLM bit (MAC write lock-step mode) allows register writes to the
pMAC to be auto-performed whenever the corresponding eMAC register is
written by the driver. This allows their configuration to remain
in sync.

The driver has set this bit since the initial commit, but it doesn't do
anything, since the hardware feature doesn't work (and the bit has been
removed from more recent versions of the documentation).

The driver does attempt, more or less, to keep those MAC registers in
sync by writing the same value once to e.g. ENETC_PM0_CMD_CFG (eMAC) and
once to ENETC_PM1_CMD_CFG (pMAC). Because the lockstep feature doesn't
work, that's what it will stick to.

- Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
test from previous fixes.

- Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.

- Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.

- Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().

- Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.

- Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
programs.

- Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).

- Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
task/thread.

- Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.

- Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
by integrating with the rstat framework.

- Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.

- Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).

- Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
related programs.

- Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

- Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

- Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

Protocols:

- TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
packets.

- TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
and cache pressure).

- MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

- Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

- Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

- Open vSwitch:
- Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
- Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

- TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

- Remove DECnet support.

Driver API:

- Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
switches, at runtime.

- Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

- Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

- Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
and link-side speeds.

- Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

- Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

- Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
the components for which version is reported by info_get().

- Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

- Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.
