bnxt_en: Add RTC mode for PTP

This series adds Real Time Clock (RTC) mode for PTP timestamping.  In
RTC mode, the 64-bit time value is programmed into the NIC's PTP
hardware clock (PHC).  Prior to this, the PHC is running as a free
counter.  For example, in multi-function environment, we need to run
PTP in RTC mode.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In Multi-host environment, when the PHC is updated by one host,
an async message from firmware will be sent to other hosts.
Re-initialize the timecounter when the driver receives this
async message.

Add support for RTC mode if it is supported by firmware.  In RTC
mode, the PHC is set to the 64-bit clock.  Because the legacy interface
is 48-bit, the driver still has to keep track of the upper 16 bits and
handle the rollover.

net: stmmac/xpcs: modernise PCS support

This series updates xpcs and stmmac for the recent changes to phylink
to better support split PCS and to get rid of private MAC validation
functions.

This series is slightly more involved than other conversions as stmmac
has already had optional proper split PCS support.

The first six patches of this series were originally posted on 16th
December for CFT, and Wong Vee Khee reported his Intel Elkhart Lake
setup was fine the first six these. However, no tested-by was given.

The patches:

1) Provide a function to query the xpcs for the interface modes that
   are supported.

2) Populates the MAC capabilities and switches stmmac_validate() to use
   phylink_get_linkmodes(). We do not use phylink_generic_validate() yet
   as (a) we do not always have the supported interfaces populated, and
   (b) the existing code does not restrict based on interface. There
   should be no functional effect from this patch.

3) Populates phylink's supported interfaces from the xpcs when the xpcs
   is configured by firmware and also the firmware configured interface
   mode. Note: this will restrict stmmac to only supporting these
   interfaces modes - stmmac maintainers need to verify that this
   behaviour is acceptable.

4) stmmac_validate() tail-calls xpcs_validate(), but we don't need it to
   now that PCS have their own validation method. Convert stmmac and
   xpcs to use this method instead.

5) xpcs sets the poll field of phylink_pcs to true, meaning xpcs
   requires its status to be polled. There is no need to also set the
   phylink_config.pcs_poll. Remove this.

6) Switch to phylink_generic_validate(). This is probably the most
   contravertial change in this patch set as this will cause the MAC to
   restrict link modes based on the interface mode. From an inspection
   of the xpcs driver, this should be safe, as XPCS only further
   restricts the link modes to a subset of these (whether that is
   correct or not is not an issue I am addressing here.) For
   implementations that do not use xpcs, this is a more open question
   and needs feedback from stmmac maintainers.

7) Convert to use mac_select_pcs() rather than phylink_set_pcs() to set
   the PCS - the intention is to eventually remove phylink_set_pcs()
   once there are no more users of this.

Fill in phylink's supported_interfaces bitmap with the PHY interface
modes which can be used to talk to the PHY.

We indicate that the PHY interface mode passed in platform data is
always supported, as this is the initial mode passed into phylink.
When there is no PCS specified, we assume that this is the only mode
that is supported - indeed, the driver appears not to support dynamic
switching of interface types at present.

When a xpcs is present, it defines the PHY interface modes that the
stmmac driver can support. Request the supported interfaces from the
xpcs driver, and pass them to phylink.

mlxsw: Add RJ45 ports support

We are in the process of qualifying a new system that has RJ45 ports as
opposed to the transceiver modules (e.g., SFP, QSFP) present on all
existing systems.

This patchset adds support for these ports in mlxsw by adding a couple of
missing BaseT link modes and rejecting ethtool operations that are
specific to transceiver modules.

Patchset overview:

Patches #1-#3 are cleanups and preparations.

Patch #4 adds support for two new link modes.

Patches #5-#6 query and cache the port module's type (e.g., QSFP, RJ45)
during initialization.

Patches #7-#9 forbid ethtool operations that are invalid on RJ45 ports.

IPv6 GRO considers packets to belong to different flows when their
hop_limit is different. This seems counter-intuitive, the flow is
the same. hop_limit may vary because of various bugs or hacks but
that doesn't mean it's okay for GRO to reorder packets.

Practical impact of this problem on overall TCP performance
is unclear, but TCP itself detects this reordering and bumps
TCPSACKReorder resulting in user complaints.

Eric warns that there may be performance regressions in setups
which do packet spraying across links with similar RTT but different
hop count. To be safe let's target -next and not treat this
as a fix. If the packet spraying is using flow label there should
be no difference in behavior as flow label is checked first.

Note that the code plays an easy to miss trick by upcasting next_hdr
to a u16 pointer and compares next_hdr and hop_limit in one go.

net: dsa: Avoid cross-chip syncing of VLAN filtering

This bug has been latent in the source for quite some time, I suspect
due to the homogeneity of both typical configurations and hardware.

On singlechip systems, this would never be triggered. The only reason
I saw it on my multichip system was because not all chips had the same
number of ports, which means that the misdemeanor alien call turned
into a felony array-out-of-bounds access.

Changes to VLAN filtering are not applicable to cross-chip
notifications.

On a system like this:

.-----.   .-----.   .-----.
| sw1 +---+ sw2 +---+ sw3 |
'-1-2-'   '-1-2-'   '-1-2-'

Before this change, upon sw1p1 leaving a bridge, a call to
dsa_port_vlan_filtering would also be made to sw2p1 and sw3p1.

In this scenario:

.---------.   .-----.   .-----.
|   sw1   +---+ sw2 +---+ sw3 |
'-1-2-3-4-'   '-1-2-'   '-1-2-'

When sw1p4 would leave a bridge, dsa_port_vlan_filtering would be
called for sw2 and sw3 with a non-existing port - leading to array
out-of-bounds accesses and crashes on mv88e6xxx.

TCP ipv4 uses per-cpu/per-netns ctl sockets in order to send

This adds memory and cpu costs, which do not seem needed.
Now typical servers have 256 or more cores, this adds considerable
tax to netns users.

tcp sockets are used from BH context, are not receiving packets,
and do not store any persistent state but the 'struct net' pointer
in order to be able to use IPv4 output functions.
