====================
selftests: openvswitch: add support for testing upcall interface

The existing selftest suite for openvswitch will work for regression
testing the datapath feature bits, but won't test things like adding
interfaces, or the upcall interface.  Here, we add some additional
test facilities.

First, extend the ovs-dpctl.py python module to support the OVS_FLOW
and OVS_PACKET netlink families, with some associated messages.  These
can be extended over time, but the initial support is for more well
known cases (output, userspace, and CT).

Next, extend the test suite to test upcalls by adding a datapath,
monitoring the upcall socket associated with the datapath, and then
dumping any upcalls that are received.  Compare with expected ARP
upcall via arping.

      The upcall socket interface can be exercised now to make sure that
future feature adjustments to the field can maintain backwards
compatibility.

      selftests: openvswitch: add flow dump support · e52b07aa
      Aaron Conole authored 
      Add a basic set of fields to print in a 'dpflow' format.  This will be
used by future commits to check for flow fields after parsing, as
well as verifying the flow fields pushed into the kernel from
userspace.

      net: phy: micrel: Fix PTP_PF_PEROUT for lan8841 · c6d6ef3e
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      If the 1PPS output was enabled and then lan8841 was configured to be a
follower, then target clock which is used to generate the 1PPS was not
configure correctly. The problem was that for each adjustments of the
time, also the nanosecond part of the target clock was changed.
Therefore the initial nanosecond part of the target clock was changed.
The issue can be observed if both the leader and the follower are
generating 1PPS and see that their PPS are not aligned even if the time
is allined.
The fix consists of not modifying the nanosecond part of the target
clock when adjusting the time. In this way the 1PPS get also aligned.

====================
page_pool: allow caching from safely localized NAPI

I went back to the explicit "are we in NAPI method", mostly
because I don't like having both around :( (even tho I maintain
that in_softirq() && !in_hardirq() is as safe, as softirqs do
not nest).

Still returning the skbs to a CPU, tho, not to the NAPI instance.
I reckon we could create a small refcounted struct per NAPI instance
which would allow sockets and other users so hold a persisent
and safe reference. But that's a bigger change, and I get 90+%
recycling thru the cache with just these patches (for RR and
streaming tests with 100% CPU use it's almost 100%).

Some numbers for streaming test with 100% CPU use (from previous version,
but really they perform the same):

      page_pool: allow caching from safely localized NAPI · 8c48eea3
      Jakub Kicinski authored 
      Recent patches to mlx5 mentioned a regression when moving from
driver local page pool to only using the generic page pool code.
Page pool has two recycling paths (1) direct one, which runs in
safe NAPI context (basically consumer context, so producing
can be lockless); and (2) via a ptr_ring, which takes a spin
lock because the freeing can happen from any CPU; producer
and consumer may run concurrently.

Since the page pool code was added, Eric introduced a revised version
of deferred skb freeing. TCP skbs are now usually returned to the CPU
which allocated them, and freed in softirq context. This places the
freeing (producing of pages back to the pool) enticingly close to
the allocation (consumer).

If we can prove that we're freeing in the same softirq context in which
the consumer NAPI will run - lockless use of the cache is perfectly fine,
no need for the lock.

Let drivers link the page pool to a NAPI instance. If the NAPI instance
is scheduled on the same CPU on which we're freeing - place the pages
in the direct cache.

With that and patched bnxt (XDP enabled to engage the page pool, sigh,
bnxt really needs page pool work :() I see a 2.6% perf boost with
a TCP stream test (app on a different physical core than softirq).

The CPU use of relevant functions decreases as expected:

  page_pool_refill_alloc_cache   1.17% -> 0%
  _raw_spin_lock                 2.41% -> 0.98%

Only consider lockless path to be safe when NAPI is scheduled
- in practice this should cover majority if not all of steady state
workloads. It's usually the NAPI kicking in that causes the skb flush.

The main case we'll miss out on is when application runs on the same
CPU as NAPI. In that case we don't use the deferred skb free path.

      net: skb: plumb napi state thru skb freeing paths · b07a2d97
      Jakub Kicinski authored 
      We maintain a NAPI-local cache of skbs which is fed by napi_consume_skb().
Going forward we will also try to cache head and data pages.
Plumb the "are we in a normal NAPI context" information thru
deeper into the freeing path, up to skb_release_data() and
skb_free_head()/skb_pp_recycle(). The "not normal NAPI context"
comes from netpoll which passes budget of 0 to try to reap
the Tx completions but not perform any Rx.

Use "bool napi_safe" rather than bare "int budget",
the further we get from NAPI the more confusing the budget
argument may seem (particularly whether 0 or MAX is the
correct value to pass in when not in NAPI).
