Currently, bonding only obtain the timestamp (ts) information of
the active slave, which is available only for modes 1, 5, and 6.
For other modes, bonding only has software rx timestamping support.
However, some users who use modes such as LACP also want tx timestamp
support. To address this issue, let's check the ts information of each
slave. If all slaves support tx timestamping, we can enable tx
timestamping support for the bond.
Add a note that the get_ts_info may be called with RCU, or rtnl or

avoid adding Kbuild dependencies from drivers (which call these helpers)
on CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK, let's add some shim definitions which simply

We deliberately make the Linux UAPI pass the minimum fragment size in
octets, even though IEEE 802.3 defines it as discrete values, and
addFragSize is just the multiplier. This is because there is nothing
impossible in operating with an in-between value for the fragment size
of non-final preempted fragments, and there may even appear hardware
which supports the in-between sizes.
For the hardware which just understands the addFragSize multiplier,
create two helpers which translate back and forth the values passed in
octets.

When a pMAC exists but the driver is unable to atomically query the
aggregate eMAC+pMAC statistics, the user should be given back at least
the sum of eMAC and pMAC counters queried separately.
This is a generic problem, so add helpers in ethtool to do this
operation, if the driver doesn't have a better way to report aggregate
stats. Do this in a way that does not require changes to these functions
when new stats are added (basically treat the structures as an array of
u64 values, except for the first element which is the stats source).
In include/linux/ethtool.h, there is already a section where helper
function prototypes should be placed. The trouble is, this section is
too early, before the definitions of struct ethtool_eth_mac_stats et.al.
Move that section at the end and append these new helpers to it.

IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99 defines a MAC Merge sublayer which contains an
Express MAC and a Preemptible MAC. Both MACs are hidden to higher and
lower layers and visible as a single MAC (packet classification to eMAC
or pMAC on TX is done based on priority; classification on RX is done
based on SFD).
For devices which support a MAC Merge sublayer, it is desirable to
retrieve individual packet counters from the eMAC and the pMAC, as well
as aggregate statistics (their sum).
Introduce a new ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC attribute which is part of the
policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_STATS_GET and, and an ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS_SRC
which is part of the policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_PAUSE_GET (accepted when
ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS is set in the common ethtool header). Both of these
take values from enum ethtool_mac_stats_src, defaulting to "aggregate"
in the absence of the attribute.
Existing drivers do not need to pay attention to this enum which was
added to all driver-facing structures, just the ones which report the
MAC merge layer as supported.

The MAC merge sublayer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99) is one of 2
specifications (the other being Frame Preemption; IEEE 802.1Q-2018
clause 6.7.2), which work together to minimize latency caused by frame
interference at TX. The overall goal of TSN is for normal traffic and
traffic with a bounded deadline to be able to cohabitate on the same L2
network and not bother each other too much.
The standards achieve this (partly) by introducing the concept of
preemptible traffic, i.e. Ethernet frames that have a custom value for
the Start-of-Frame-Delimiter (SFD), and these frames can be fragmented
and reassembled at L2 on a link-local basis. The non-preemptible frames
are called express traffic, they are transmitted using a normal SFD, and
they can preempt preemptible frames, therefore having lower latency,
which can matter at lower (100 Mbps) link speeds, or at high MTUs (jumbo
frames around 9K). Preemption is not recursive, i.e. a P frame cannot
preempt another P frame. Preemption also does not depend upon priority,
or otherwise said, an E frame with prio 0 will still preempt a P frame
with prio 7.
In terms of implementation, the standards talk about the presence of an
express MAC (eMAC) which handles express traffic, and a preemptible MAC
(pMAC) which handles preemptible traffic, and these MACs are multiplexed
on the same MII by a MAC merge layer.
To support frame preemption, the definition of the SFD was generalized
to SMD (Start-of-mPacket-Delimiter), where an mPacket is essentially an
Ethernet frame fragment, or a complete frame. Stations unaware of an SMD
value different from the standard SFD will treat P frames as error
frames. To prevent that from happening, a negotiation process is
defined.
On RX, packets are dispatched to the eMAC or pMAC after being filtered
by their SMD. On TX, the eMAC/pMAC classification decision is taken by
the 802.1Q spec, based on packet priority (each of the 8 user priority
values may have an admin-status of preemptible or express).
The MAC Merge layer and the Frame Preemption parameters have some degree
of independence in terms of how software stacks are supposed to deal
with them. The activation of the MM layer is supposed to be controlled
by an LLDP daemon (after it has been communicated that the link partner
also supports it), after which a (hardware-based or not) verification
handshake takes place, before actually enabling the feature. So the
process is intended to be relatively plug-and-play. Whereas FP settings
are supposed to be coordinated across a network using something
approximating NETCONF.
The support contained here is exclusively for the 802.3 (MAC Merge)
portions and not for the 802.1Q (Frame Preemption) parts. This API is
sufficient for an LLDP daemon to do its job. The FP adminStatus variable
from 802.1Q is outside the scope of an LLDP daemon.
I have taken a few creative licenses and augmented the Linux kernel UAPI
compared to the standard managed objects recommended by IEEE 802.3.
These are:
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_PMAC_ENABLED: According to Figure 99-6: Receive
Processing state diagram, a MAC Merge layer is always supposed to be
able to receive P frames. However, this implies keeping the pMAC
powered on, which will consume needless power in applications where FP
will never be used. If LLDP is used, the reception of an Additional
Ethernet Capabilities TLV from the link partner is sufficient
indication that the pMAC should be enabled. So my proposal is that in
Linux, we keep the pMAC turned off by default and that user space
turns it on when needed.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_ENABLED: The IEEE managed object is called
aMACMergeVerifyDisableTx. I opted for consistency (positive logic) in
the boolean netlink attributes offered, so this is also positive here.
Other than the meaning being reversed, they correspond to the same
thing.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_MAX_VERIFY_TIME: I found it most reasonable for a LLDP
daemon to maximize the verifyTime variable (delay between SMD-V
transmissions), to maximize its chances that the LP replies. IEEE says
that the verifyTime can range between 1 and 128 ms, but the NXP ENETC
stupidly keeps this variable in a 7 bit register, so the maximum
supported value is 127 ms. I could have chosen to hardcode this in the
LLDP daemon to a lower value, but why not let the kernel expose its
supported range directly.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_TX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: the standard managed object is called
aMACMergeAddFragSize, and expresses the "additional" fragment size
(on top of ETH_ZLEN), whereas this expresses the absolute value of the
fragment size.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_RX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: there doesn't appear to exist a managed
object mandated by the standard, but user space clearly needs to know
what is the minimum supported fragment size of our local receiver,
since LLDP must advertise a value no lower than that.

Many of the drivers which implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() will
prints the .driver, .version or .bus_info of struct ethtool_drvinfo.
To have a glance of current state, do:
$ git grep -W "get_drvinfo(struct"
Printing in those three fields is useless because:
- since [1], the driver version should be the kernel version (at
least for upstream drivers). Arguably, out of tree drivers might
still want to set a custom version, but out of tree is not our
focus.
- since [2], the core is able to provide default values for .driver
and .bus_info.
In summary, drivers may provide .fw_version and .erom_version, the
rest is expected to be done by the core.
In struct ethtool_ops doc from linux/ethtool: rephrase field
get_drvinfo() doc to discourage developers from implementing this
callback.
In struct ethtool_drvinfo doc from uapi/linux/ethtool.h: remove the
paragraph mentioning what drivers should do. Rationale: no need to
repeat what is already written in struct ethtool_ops doc. But add a
note that .fw_version and .erom_version are driver defined.
Also update the dummy driver and simply remove the callback in order
not to confuse the newcomers: most of the drivers will not need this
callback function any more.

The previous attempt to augment carrier_down (see Link)
was not met with much enthusiasm so let's do the simple
thing of exposing what some devices already maintain.
Add a common ethtool statistic for link going down.
Currently users have to maintain per-driver mapping
to extract the right stat from the vendor-specific ethtool -S
stats. carrier_down does not fit the bill because it counts
a lot of software related false positives.
Add the statistic to the extended link state API to steer
vendors towards implementing all of it.
Implement for bnxt and all Linux-controlled PHYs. mlx5 and (possibly)
enic also have a counter for this but I leave the implementation
to their maintainers.

For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful

Most NICs can't do that.

enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words
I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial.

Add a pair of new ethtool messages, 'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_SET' and
'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_GET', that can be used to control transceiver
modules parameters and retrieve their status.
The first parameter to control is the power mode of the module. It is
only relevant for paged memory modules, as flat memory modules always
operate in low power mode.
When a paged memory module is in low power mode, its power consumption
is reduced to the minimum, the management interface towards the host is
available and the data path is deactivated.
User space can choose to put modules that are not currently in use in
low power mode and transition them to high power mode before putting the
associated ports administratively up. This is useful for user space that
favors reduced power consumption and lower temperatures over reduced
link up times. In QSFP-DD modules the transition from low power mode to
high power mode can take a few seconds and this transition is only
expected to get longer with future / more complex modules.
User space can control the power mode of the module via the power mode
policy attribute ('ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY'). Possible
values:
* high: Module is always in high power mode.
* auto: Module is transitioned by the host to high power mode when the
first port using it is put administratively up and to low power mode
when the last port using it is put administratively down.
The operational power mode of the module is available to user space via
the 'ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE' attribute. The attribute is not
reported to user space when a module is not plugged-in.
The user API is designed to be generic enough so that it could be used
for modules with different memory maps (e.g., SFF-8636, CMIS).
The only implementation of the device driver API in this series is for a
MAC driver (mlxsw) where the module is controlled by the device's
firmware, but it is designed to be generic enough so that it could also
be used by implementations where the module is controlled by the CPU.

but it's actually wrong to do it for x32 and cannot work there.
- On 32-bit Arm, it never worked for compat oabi user space, since
that needs to do the same conversion but does not.
- It would be nice to get rid of both compat_alloc_user_space()
and copy_in_user() throughout the kernel.
None of these actually seems to be a serious problem that real
users are likely to encounter, but fixing all of them actually
leads to code that is both shorter and more readable.

The struct is not visible to user space and therefore should not use the
user visible data types.
Instead, use internal data types like other structures in the file.
