Several device drivers read their Device Serial Number from the PCIe
extended config space.
Introduce a new helper function, pci_get_dsn(). This function reads the
eight bytes of the DSN and returns them as a u64. If the capability does not
exist for the device, the function returns 0.

Add a PTP clock driver called ptp_vmw, for guests running on VMware ESXi
hypervisor. The driver attaches to a VMware virtual device called
"precision clock" that provides a mechanism for querying host system time.
Similar to existing virtual PTP clock drivers (e.g. ptp_kvm), ptp_vmw
utilizes the kernel's PTP hardware clock API to implement a clock device
that can be used as a reference in Chrony for synchronizing guest time with
host.
The driver is only applicable to x86 guests running in VMware virtual
machines with precision clock virtual device present. It uses a VMware
specific hypercall mechanism to read time from the device.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

====================
mlxsw: Offload FIFO
Petr says:
If an ETS or PRIO band contains an offloaded qdisc, it is possible to
obtain offloaded counters for that band. However, some of the bands will
likely simply contain the default invisible FIFO qdisc, which does not
present the counters.
To remedy this situation, make FIFO offloadable, and offload it by mlxsw
when below PRIO and ETS for the sole purpose of providing counters for the
bands that do not include other qdiscs.
- In patch #1, FIFO is extended to support offloading.
- Patches #2 and #3 restructure bits of mlxsw to facilitate
the offload logic.
- Patch #4 then implements the offload itself.
- Patch #5 changes the ETS selftest to use the new counters.
====================

Currently the SW-datapath ETS selftests use "ip link" stats to obtain the
number of packets that went through a given band. mlxsw then uses ethtool
per-priority counters.
Instead, change both to use qdiscs. In SW datapath this is the obvious
choice, and now that mlxsw offloads FIFO, this should work on the offloaded
datapath as well. This has the effect of verifying that the FIFO offload
works.

There are two peculiarities about offloading FIFO:
- sometimes the qdisc has an unspecified handle (it is "invisible")
- it may be created before the qdisc that it will be a child of
These features make the offload a bit more tricky. The approach chosen in
this patch is to make note of all the FIFOs that needed to be rejected
because their parents were not known. Later when the parent is created,
they are offloaded
FIFO is only offloaded for its counters, queue length is ignored.

offloads, introduce a new structure. Move there the two existing pieces of

Invoke ndo_setup_tc() as appropriate to signal init / replacement,
destroying and dumping of pFIFO / bFIFO Qdisc.
A lot of the FIFO logic is used for pFIFO_head_drop as well, but that's a

====================
ethtool: consolidate parameter checking for irq coalescing
This set aims to simplify and unify the unsupported irq
coalescing parameter handling.
First patch adds a bitmask which drivers should fill in
in their ethtool_ops structs to declare which parameters
they support. Core will then ensure that driver callback
won't see any parameter outside of that set.
This allows us to save some LoC and make sure all drivers
respond the same to unsupported parameters.
If any parameter driver does not support is set to a value
other than 0 core will return -EINVAL. In the future we can
reject any present but unsupported netlink attribute, without
assuming 0 means unset. We can also add some prints or extack,
perhaps a'la Intel's current code.
I started converting the drivers alphabetically but then
realized that for the first set it's probably best to
address a representative mix of actively developed drivers.
According to my unreliable math there are roughly 69 drivers
in the tree which support some form of interrupt coalescing
settings via ethtool. Of these roughly 17 reject parameters
they don't support.
I hope drivers which ignore the parameters don't care, and
won't care about the slight change in behavior. Once all
drivers are converted we can make the checking mandatory.
I've only tested the e1000e and virtio patches, the rest builds.
v2: fix up ice and virtio conversions
v3: (patch 1)
- move the (temporary) check if driver defines types
earlier (Michal)
- rename used_types -> nonzero_params, and
coalesce_types -> supported_coalesce_params (Alex)
- use EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL (Andrew, Michal)

Linux supports 22 different interrupt coalescing parameters.
No driver implements them all. Some drivers just ignore the
ones they don't support, while others have to carry a long
list of checks to reject unsupported settings.
To simplify the drivers add the ability to specify inside
ethtool_ops which parameters are supported and let the core
reject attempts to set any other one.
This commit makes the mechanism an opt-in, only drivers which
set ethtool_opts->coalesce_types to a non-zero value will have
the checks enforced.
The same mask is used for global and per queue settings.
v3: - move the (temporary) check if driver defines types
earlier (Michal)
- rename used_types -> nonzero_params, and
coalesce_types -> supported_coalesce_params (Alex)
- use EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL (Andrew, Michal)
Leaving the long series of ifs for now, it seems nice to
be able to grep for the field and flag names. This will
probably have to be revisited once netlink support lands.

Allow unknown unicast traffic to CPU for Felix DSA
This is the continuation of the previous "[PATCH net-next] net: mscc:
ocelot: Workaround to allow traffic to CPU in standalone mode":
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg631067.html
Following the feedback received from Allan Nielsen, the Ocelot and Felix
drivers were made to use the CPU port module in the same way (patch 1),
and Felix was made to additionally allow unknown unicast frames towards
the CPU port module (patch 2).
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Compared to other DSA switches, in the Ocelot cores, the RX filtering is
a much more important concern.
Firstly, the primary use case for Ocelot is non-DSA, so there isn't any
secondary Ethernet MAC [the DSA master's one] to implicitly drop frames
having a DMAC we are not interested in. So the switch driver itself
needs to install FDB entries towards the CPU port module (PGID_CPU) for
the MAC address of each switch port, in each VLAN installed on the port.
Every address that is not whitelisted is implicitly dropped. This is in
order to achieve a behavior similar to N standalone net devices.
Secondly, even in the secondary use case of DSA, such as illustrated by
Felix with the NPI port mode, that secondary Ethernet MAC is present,
but its RX filter is bypassed. This is because the DSA tags themselves
are placed before Ethernet, so the DMAC that the switch ports see is
not seen by the DSA master too (since it's shifter to the right).
So RX filtering is pretty important. A good RX filter won't bother the
CPU in case the switch port receives a frame that it's not interested
in, and there exists no other line of defense.
Ocelot is pretty strict when it comes to RX filtering: non-IP multicast
and broadcast traffic is allowed to go to the CPU port module, but
unknown unicast isn't. This means that traffic reception for any other
MAC addresses than the ones configured on each switch port net device
won't work. This includes use cases such as macvlan or bridging with a
non-Ocelot (so-called "foreign") interface. But this seems to be fine
for the scenarios that the Linux system embedded inside an Ocelot switch
is intended for - it is simply not interested in unknown unicast
traffic, as explained in Allan Nielsen's presentation [0].
On the other hand, the Felix DSA switch is integrated in more
general-purpose Linux systems, so it can't afford to drop that sort of
traffic in hardware, even if it will end up doing so later, in software.
Actually, unknown unicast means more for Felix than it does for Ocelot.
Felix doesn't attempt to perform the whitelisting of switch port MAC
addresses towards PGID_CPU at all, mainly because it is too complicated
to be feasible: while the MAC addresses are unique in Ocelot, by default
in DSA all ports are equal and inherited from the DSA master. This adds
into account the question of reference counting MAC addresses (delayed
ocelot_mact_forget), not to mention reference counting for the VLAN IDs
that those MAC addresses are installed in. This reference counting
should be done in the DSA core, and the fact that it wasn't needed so
far is due to the fact that the other DSA switches don't have the DSA
tag placed before Ethernet, so the DSA master is able to whitelist the
MAC addresses in hardware.
So this means that even regular traffic termination on a Felix switch
port happens through flooding (because neither Felix nor Ocelot learn
source MAC addresses from CPU-injected frames).
So far we've explained that whitelisting towards PGID_CPU:
- helps to reduce the likelihood of spamming the CPU with frames it
won't process very far anyway
- is implemented in the ocelot driver
- is sufficient for the ocelot use cases
- is not feasible in DSA
- breaks use cases in DSA, in the current status (whitelisting enabled
but no MAC address whitelisted)
So the proposed patch allows unknown unicast frames to be sent to the
CPU port module. This is done for the Felix DSA driver only, as Ocelot
seems to be happy without it.

Ocelot has the concept of a CPU port. The CPU port is represented in the
forwarding and the queueing system, but it is not a physical device. The
CPU port can either be accessed via register-based injection/extraction
(which is the case of Ocelot), via Frame-DMA (similar to the first one),
or "connected" to a physical Ethernet port (called NPI in the datasheet)
which is the case of the Felix DSA switch.
In Ocelot the CPU port is at index 11.
In Felix the CPU port is at index 6.
The CPU bit is treated special in the forwarding, as it is never cleared
from the forwarding port mask (once added to it). Other than that, it is
treated the same as a normal front port.
Both Felix and Ocelot should use the CPU port in the same way. This
means that Felix should not use the NPI port directly when forwarding to
the CPU, but instead use the CPU port.
This patch is fixing this such that Felix will use port 6 as its CPU
port, and just use the NPI port to carry the traffic.
Therefore, eliminate the "ocelot->cpu" variable which was holding the
index of the NPI port for Felix, and the index of the CPU port module
for Ocelot, so the variable was actually configuring different things
for different drivers and causing at least part of the confusion.
Also remove the "ocelot->num_cpu_ports" variable, which is the result of
another confusion. The 2 CPU ports mentioned in the datasheet are
because there are two frame extraction channels (register based or DMA
based). This is of no relevance to the driver at the moment, and
invisible to the analyzer module.

Leslie Monis says:
====================
pie: minor improvements
This patch series includes the following minor changes with
respect to the PIE/FQ-PIE qdiscs:
- Patch 1 removes some ambiguity by using the term "backlog"
instead of "qlen" when referring to the queue length
in bytes.
- Patch 2 removes redundant type casting on two expressions.
- Patch 3 removes the pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows variable
without affecting the precision in calculations and
makes the size of the pie_vars structure exactly 64
bytes.
- Patch 4 realigns a comment affected by a change in patch 3.
Changes from v1 to v2:
- Kept 8 as the argument to prandom_bytes() instead of changing it
to 7 as suggested by David Miller.
