net: omit ndo_hwtstamp_get() call when possible in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib()

Setting dev->priv_flags & IFF_SEE_ALL_HWTSTAMP_REQUESTS is only legal
for drivers which were converted to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and
ndo_hwtstamp_set(), and it is only there that we call ndo_hwtstamp_set()
for a request that otherwise goes to phylib (for stuff like packet traps,
which need to be undone if phylib failed, hence the old_cfg logic).

The problem is that we end up calling ndo_hwtstamp_get() when we don't
need to (even if the SIOCSHWTSTAMP wasn't intended for phylib, or if it
was, but the driver didn't set IFF_SEE_ALL_HWTSTAMP_REQUESTS). For those
unnecessary conditions, we share a code path with virtual drivers (vlan,
macvlan, bonding) where ndo_hwtstamp_get() is implemented as
generic_hwtstamp_get_lower(), and may be resolved through
generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() if the lower device is unconverted.

I.e. this situation:

$ ip link add link eno0 name eno0.100 type vlan id 100
$ hwstamp_ctl -i eno0.100 -t 1

We are unprepared to deal with this, because if ndo_hwtstamp_get() is
resolved through a legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(SIOCGHWTSTAMP) lower_dev
implementation, that needs a non-NULL old_cfg.ifr pointer, and we don't
have it.

But we don't even need to deal with it either. In the general case,
drivers may not even implement SIOCGHWTSTAMP handling, only SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
so it makes sense to completely avoid a SIOCGHWTSTAMP call if we can.

The solution is to split the single "if" condition into 3 smaller ones,
thus separating the decision to call ndo_hwtstamp_get() from the
decision to call ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The third "if" condition is
identical to the first one, and both are subsets of the second one.
Thus, the "cfg" argument of kernel_hwtstamp_config_changed() is always
valid.

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()

Based on previous RFCs from Maxim Georgiev:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230502043150.17097-1-glipus@gmail.com/

this series attempts to introduce new API for the hardware timestamping
control path (SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP handling).

I don't have any board with phylib hardware timestamping, so I would
appreciate testing (especially on lan966x, the most intricate
conversion). I was, however, able to test netdev level timestamping,
because I also have some more unsubmitted conversions in progress:

https://github.com/vladimiroltean/linux/commits/ndo-hwtstamp-v9

I hope that the concerns expressed in the comments of previous series
were addressed, and that Köry Maincent's series:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230406173308.401924-1-kory.maincent@bootlin.com/
can make progress in parallel with the conversion of the rest of drivers.

net: remove phy_has_hwtstamp() -> phy_mii_ioctl() decision from converted drivers

It is desirable that the new .ndo_hwtstamp_set() API gives more
uniformity, less overhead and future flexibility w.r.t. the PHY
timestamping behavior.

Currently there are some drivers which allow PHY timestamping through
the procedure mentioned in Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst.
They don't do anything locally if phy_has_hwtstamp() is set, except for
lan966x which installs PTP packet traps.

Centralize that behavior in a new dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib() code
function, which calls either phy_mii_ioctl() for the phylib PHY,
or .ndo_hwtstamp_set() of the netdev, based on a single policy
(currently simplistic: phy_has_hwtstamp()).

Any driver converted to .ndo_hwtstamp_set() will automatically opt into
the centralized phylib timestamping policy. Unconverted drivers still
get to choose whether they let the PHY handle timestamping or not.

Netdev drivers with integrated PHY drivers that don't use phylib
presumably don't set dev->phydev, and those will always see
HWTSTAMP_SOURCE_NETDEV requests even when converted. The timestamping
policy will remain 100% up to them.

net: add hwtstamping helpers for stackable net devices

The stackable net devices with hwtstamping support (vlan, macvlan,
bonding) only pass the hwtstamping ops to the lower (real) device.

These drivers are the first that need to be converted to the new
timestamping API, because if they aren't prepared to handle that,
then no real device driver cannot be converted to the new API either.

After studying what vlan_dev_ioctl(), macvlan_eth_ioctl() and
bond_eth_ioctl() have in common, here we propose two generic
implementations of ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() which
can be called by those 3 drivers, with "dev" being their lower device.

These helpers cover both cases, when the lower driver is converted to
the new API or unconverted.

We need some hacks in case of an unconverted driver, namely to stuff
some pointers in struct kernel_hwtstamp_config which shouldn't have
been there (since the new API isn't supposed to need it). These will
be removed when all drivers will have been converted to the new API.

net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping

Current hardware timestamping API for NICs requires implementing
.ndo_eth_ioctl() for SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP.

That API has some boilerplate such as request parameter translation
between user and kernel address spaces, handling possible translation
failures correctly, etc. Since it is the same all across the board, it
would be desirable to handle it through generic code.

Here we introduce .ndo_hwtstamp_get() and .ndo_hwtstamp_set(), which
implement that boilerplate and allow drivers to just act upon requests.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible

- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance

- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

- Optimize again the skb struct layout

- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems

- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

BPF:

- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses

- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params

- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton

- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities

- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps

- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps

- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree

- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them

- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Protocols:

- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address

- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures

- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction

- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore

- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

Netfilter:

- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged

- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore

- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the

net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub

There was a sort of rush surrounding commit 88c0a6b503b7 ("net: create a
netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master"), due to a desire
to convert DSA's attempt to deny TX timestamping on a DSA master to
something that doesn't block the kernel-wide API conversion from
ndo_eth_ioctl() to ndo_hwtstamp_set().

What was required was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and what was provided was a mechanism that did not depend on
ndo_eth_ioctl(), while at the same time introducing something that
wasn't absolutely necessary - a new netdev notifier.

There have been objections from Jakub Kicinski that using notifiers in
general when they are not absolutely necessary creates complications to
the control flow and difficulties to maintainers who look at the code.
So there is a desire to not use notifiers.

In addition to that, the notifier chain gets called even if there is no
DSA in the system and no one is interested in applying any restriction.

Take the model of udp_tunnel_nic_ops and introduce a stub mechanism,
through which net/core/dev_ioctl.c can call into DSA even when
CONFIG_NET_DSA=m.

Compared to the code that existed prior to the notifier conversion, aka
what was added in commits:
- 4cfab3566710 ("net: dsa: Add wrappers for overloaded ndo_ops")
- 3369afba1e46 ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops wrappers")

this is different because we are not overloading any struct
net_device_ops of the DSA master anymore, but rather, we are exposing a
rather specific functionality which is orthogonal to which API is used
to enable it - ndo_eth_ioctl() or ndo_hwtstamp_set().

Also, what is similar is that both approaches use function pointers to
get from built-in code to DSA.

There is no point in replicating the function pointers towards
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate() once for every CPU port (dev->dsa_ptr).
Instead, it is sufficient to introduce a singleton struct dsa_stubs,
built into the kernel, which contains a single function pointer to
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate().

I find this approach preferable to what we had originally, because
dev->dsa_ptr->netdev_ops->ndo_do_ioctl() used to require going through
struct dsa_port (dev->dsa_ptr), and so, this was incompatible with any
attempts to add any data encapsulation and hide DSA data structures from
the outside world.

Merge branch 'dsa_master_ioctl-notifier'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
net: Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier

This is preparatory work in order for Maxim Georgiev to be able to start
the API conversion process of hardware timestamping from ndo_eth_ioctl()
to ndo_hwtstamp_set():
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230331045619.40256-1-glipus@gmail.com/

In turn, Maxim Georgiev's work is a preparation so that Köry Maincent is
able to make the active hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230308135936.761794-1-kory.maincent@bootlin.com/

So, quite some dependency chain.

Before this patch set, DSA prevented the conversion of any networking
driver from the ndo_eth_ioctl() API to the ndo_hwtstamp_set() API,
because it wanted to validate the hwtstamping settings on the DSA
master, and it was only coded up to do this using the old API.

After this patch set, a new netdev notifier exists, which does not
depend on anything that would constitute the "soon-to-be-legacy" API,
but rather, it uses a newly introduced struct kernel_hwtstamp_config,
and it doesn't issue any ioctl at all, being thus compatible both with
ndo_eth_ioctl(), and with the not-yet-introduced, but now possible,
ndo_hwtstamp_set().

net: create a netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master

The fact that PTP 2-step TX timestamping is broken on DSA switches if
the master also timestamps the same packets is documented by commit
f685e609a301 ("net: dsa: Deny PTP on master if switch supports it").
We attempt to help the users avoid shooting themselves in the foot by
making DSA reject the timestamping ioctls on an interface that is a DSA
master, and the switch tree beneath it contains switches which are aware
of PTP.

The only problem is that there isn't an established way of intercepting
ndo_eth_ioctl calls, so DSA creates avoidable burden upon the network
stack by creating a struct dsa_netdevice_ops with overlaid function
pointers that are manually checked from the relevant call sites. There
used to be 2 such dsa_netdevice_ops, but now, ndo_eth_ioctl is the only
one left.

There is an ongoing effort to migrate driver-visible hardware timestamping
control from the ndo_eth_ioctl() based API to a new ndo_hwtstamp_set()
model, but DSA actively prevents that migration, since dsa_master_ioctl()
is currently coded to manually call the master's legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and so, whenever a network device driver would be converted to the new
API, DSA's restrictions would be circumvented, because any device could
be used as a DSA master.

The established way for unrelated modules to react on a net device event
is via netdevice notifiers. So we create a new notifier which gets
called whenever there is an attempt to change hardware timestamping
settings on a device.

Finally, there is another reason why a netdev notifier will be a good
idea, besides strictly DSA, and this has to do with PHY timestamping.

With ndo_eth_ioctl(), all MAC drivers must manually call
phy_has_hwtstamp() before deciding whether to act upon SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
otherwise they must pass this ioctl to the PHY driver via
phy_mii_ioctl().

With the new ndo_hwtstamp_set() API, it will be desirable to simply not
make any calls into the MAC device driver when timestamping should be
performed at the PHY level.

But there exist drivers, such as the lan966x switch, which need to
install packet traps for PTP regardless of whether they are the layer
that provides the hardware timestamps, or the PHY is. That would be
impossible to support with the new API.

The proposal there, too, is to introduce a netdev notifier which acts as
a better cue for switching drivers to add or remove PTP packet traps,
than ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The one introduced here "almost" works there as
well, except for the fact that packet traps should only be installed if
the PHY driver succeeded to enable hardware timestamping, whereas here,
we need to deny hardware timestamping on the DSA master before it
actually gets enabled. This is why this notifier is called "PRE_", and
the notifier that would get used for PHY timestamping and packet traps
would be called NETDEV_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP. This isn't a new concept, for
example NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER do the same thing.

In expectation of future netlink UAPI, we also pass a non-NULL extack
pointer to the netdev notifier, and we make DSA populate it with an
informative reason for the rejection. To avoid making it go to waste, we
make the ioctl-based dev_set_hwtstamp() create a fake extack and print
the message to the kernel log.

net: add struct kernel_hwtstamp_config and make net_hwtstamp_validate() use it

Jakub Kicinski suggested that we may want to add new UAPI for
controlling hardware timestamping through netlink in the future, and in
that case, we will be limited to the struct hwtstamp_config that is
currently passed in fixed binary format through the SIOCGHWTSTAMP and
SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctls. It would be good if new kernel code already
started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure,
similar in concept to struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce vs struct
ethtool_coalesce.

Since struct hwtstamp_config is in include/uapi/linux/net_tstamp.h, here
we introduce include/linux/net_tstamp.h which shadows that other header,
but also includes it, so that existing includers of this header work as
before. In addition to that, we add the definition for the kernel-only
structure, and a helper which translates all fields by manual copying.
I am doing a manual copy in order to not force the alignment (or type)
of the fields of struct kernel_hwtstamp_config to be the same as of
struct hwtstamp_config, even though now, they are the same.

Split the handling of SIOCSHWTSTAMP and SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctls into
separate case statements of dev_ifsioc(), and make each one call its own
