[ Upstream commit 52f79609c0c5b25fddb88e85f25ce08aa7e3fb42 ]
When compiling YNL generated code compiler complains about
array-initializer-out-of-bounds. Turns out the MAX value
for STATS_GRP uses the value for STATS.
This may lead to random corruptions in user space (kernel
itself doesn't use this value as it never parses stats).

Add interface to support Power Sourcing Equipment. At current step it
provides generic way to address all variants of PSE devices as defined
in IEEE 802.3-2018 but support only objects specified for IEEE 802.3-2018 104.4
PoDL Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
Currently supported and mandatory objects are:
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.2 aPoDLPSEAdminState
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl
This is minimal interface needed to control PSE on each separate
ethernet port but it provides not all mandatory objects specified in
IEEE 802.3-2018.
Since "PoDL PSE" and "PSE" have similar names, but some different values
I decide to not merge them and keep separate naming schema. This should
allow as to be as close to IEEE 802.3 spec as possible and avoid name
conflicts in the future.
This implementation is connected to PHYs instead of MACs because PSE
auto classification can potentially interfere with PHY auto negotiation.
So, may be some extra PHY related initialization will be needed.
With WIP version of ethtools interaction with PSE capable link looks
as following:
$ ip l

This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to
the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at
one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to
the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for
achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame
based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and
2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W).
This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same
form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices
will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening
these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if
all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching,
then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would
suffice.
For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.
802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and
"rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls
this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is
shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this
context.

For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful
to have a clear indication whether host's NIC supports the
geometry requirements of TCP zero-copy. TCP zero-copy Rx
requires data to be neatly placed into memory pages.
Most NICs can't do that.
This patch is adding GET support only, since the NICs
I work with either always have the feature enabled or
enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words
I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial.
(The only note on SET is that we will likely want
the setting to be "sticky" and use 0 / `unknown`
to reset it back to driver default.)

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.

Most devices maintain RMON (RFC 2819) stats - particularly
the "histogram" of packets received by size. Unlike other
RFCs which duplicate IEEE stats, the short/oversized frame
counters in RMON don't seem to match IEEE stats 1-to-1 either,
so expose those, too. Do not expose basic packet, CRC errors
etc - those are already otherwise covered.
Because standard defines packet ranges only up to 1518, and
everything above that should theoretically be "oversized"
- devices often create their own ranges.
Going beyond what the RFC defines - expose the "histogram"
in the Tx direction (assume for now that the ranges will

Similarly to pause statistics add stats for FEC.
The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters:
- 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks
- 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks
where block is a block of bits FEC operates on.
Each of these counters is defined per lane (PCS instance).
Multiple vendors provide number of corrected _bits_ rather
than/as well as blocks.
This set adds the 2 standard-based block counters and a extra
one for corrected bits.
Counters are exposed to user space via netlink in new attributes.
Each attribute carries an array of u64s, first element is
the total count, and the following ones are a per-lane break down.
Much like with pause stats the operation will not fail when driver
does not implement the get_fec_stats callback (nor can the driver
fail the operation by returning an error). If stats can't be
reported the relevant attributes will be empty.

Currently, when auto negotiation is on, the user can advertise all the
linkmodes which correspond to a specific speed, but does not have a
similar selector for the number of lanes. This is significant when a
specific speed can be achieved using different number of lanes. For
example, 2x50 or 4x25.
Add 'ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_LANES' attribute and expand 'struct
ethtool_link_settings' with lanes field in order to implement a new
lanes-selector that will enable the user to advertise a specific number
of lanes as well.
When auto negotiation is off, lanes parameter can be forced only if the
driver supports it. Add a capability bit in 'struct ethtool_ops' that
allows ethtool know if the driver can handle the lanes parameter when
auto negotiation is off, so if it does not, an error message will be

Currently, drivers can only tell whether the link is up/down using
LINKSTATE_GET, but no additional information is given.
Add attributes to LINKSTATE_GET command in order to allow drivers
to expose the user more information in addition to link state to ease
the debug process, for example, reason for link down state.
Extended state consists of two attributes - link_ext_state and
link_ext_substate. The idea is to avoid 'vendor specific' states in order
to prevent drivers to use specific link_ext_state that can be in the future
common link_ext_state.
The substates allows drivers to add more information to the common
link_ext_state. For example, vendor can expose 'Autoneg' as link_ext_state
and add 'No partner detected during force mode' as link_ext_substate.
If a driver cannot pinpoint the extended state with the substate
accuracy, it is free to expose only the extended state and omit the
substate attribute.
