ptp: Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE for driver crosstimestamping Currently, network /system cross-timestamping is performed in the PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl. The PTP clock driver reads gettimeofday() and the gettime64() callback provided by the driver. The cross-timestamp is best effort where the latency between the capture of system time (getnstimeofday()) and the device time (driver callback) may be significant. The getcrosststamp() callback and corresponding PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE ioctl allows the driver to perform this device/system correlation when for example cross timestamp hardware is available. Modern Intel systems can do this for onboard Ethernet controllers using the ART counter. There is virtually zero latency between captures of the ART and network device clock. The capabilities ioctl (PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS), is augmented allowing applications to query whether or not drivers implement the getcrosststamp callback, providing more precise cross timestamping.

ptp: introduce ptp auxiliary worker Many PTP drivers required to perform some asynchronous or periodic work, like periodically handling PHC counter overflow or handle delayed timestamp for RX/TX network packets. In most of the cases, such work is implemented using workqueues. Unfortunately, Kernel workqueues might introduce significant delay in work scheduling under high system load and on -RT, which could cause misbehavior of PTP drivers due to internal counter overflow, for example, and there is no way to tune its execution policy and priority manuallly. Hence, The kthread_worker can be used insted of workqueues, as it create separte named kthread for each worker and its its execution policy and priority can be configured using chrt tool. This prblem was reported for two drivers TI CPSW CPTS and dp83640, so instead of modifying each of these driver it was proposed to add PTP auxiliary worker to the PHC subsystem. The patch adds PTP auxiliary worker in PHC subsystem using kthread_worker and kthread_delayed_work and introduces two new PHC subsystem APIs: - long (*do_aux_work)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp) callback in ptp_clock_info structure, which driver should assign if it require to perform asynchronous or periodic work. Driver should return the delay of the PTP next auxiliary work scheduling time (>=0) or negative value in case further scheduling is not required. - int ptp_schedule_worker(struct ptp_clock *ptp, unsigned long delay) which allows schedule PTP auxiliary work.

ethernet: fix PTP_1588_CLOCK dependencies The 'imply' keyword does not do what most people think it does, it only politely asks Kconfig to turn on another symbol, but does not prevent it from being disabled manually or built as a loadable module when the user is built-in. In the ICE driver, the latter now causes a link failure: aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_eth_ioctl': ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_get_ts_config' ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_get_ts_config' aarch64-linux-ld: ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_set_ts_config' ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_set_ts_config' aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_prepare_for_reset': ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_release' ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_release' aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_rebuild': This is a recurring problem in many drivers, and we have discussed it several times befores, without reaching a consensus. I'm providing a link to the previous email thread for reference, which discusses some related problems. To solve the dependency issue better than the 'imply' keyword, introduce a separate Kconfig symbol "CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL" that any driver can depend on if it is able to use PTP support when available, but works fine without it. Whenever CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=m, those drivers are then prevented from being built-in, the same way as with a 'depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK' dependency that does the same trick, but that can be rather confusing when you first see it. Since this should cover the dependencies correctly, the IS_REACHABLE() hack in the header is no longer needed now, and can be turned back into a normal IS_ENABLED() check. Any driver that gets the dependency wrong will now cause a link time failure rather than being unable to use PTP support when that is in a loadable module. However, the two recently added ptp_get_vclocks_index() and ptp_convert_timestamp() interfaces are only called from builtin code with ethtool and socket timestamps, so keep the current behavior by stubbing those out completely when PTP is in a loadable module. This should be addressed properly in a follow-up. As Richard suggested, we may want to actually turn PTP support into a 'bool' option later on, preventing it from being a loadable module altogether, which would be one way to solve the problem with the ethtool interface.

ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional In order to break the hard dependency between the PTP clock subsystem and ethernet drivers capable of being clock providers, this patch provides simple PTP stub functions to allow linkage of those drivers into the kernel even when the PTP subsystem is configured out. Drivers must be ready to accept NULL from ptp_clock_register() in that case. And to make it possible for PTP to be configured out, the select statement in those driver's Kconfig menu entries is converted to the new "imply" statement. This way the PTP subsystem may have Kconfig dependencies of its own, such as POSIX_TIMERS, without having to make those ethernet drivers unavailable if POSIX timers are cconfigured out. And when support for POSIX timers is selected again then the default config option for PTP clock support will automatically be adjusted accordingly. The pch_gbe driver is a bit special as it relies on extra code in drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c. Therefore we let the make process descend into drivers/ptp/ even if PTP_1588_CLOCK is unselected.

This prblem was reported for two drivers TI CPSW CPTS and dp83640, so instead of modifying each of these driver it was proposed to add PTP auxiliary worker to the PHC subsystem. The patch adds PTP auxiliary worker in PHC subsystem using kthread_worker and kthread_delayed_work and introduces two new PHC subsystem APIs: - long (*do_aux_work)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp) callback in ptp_clock_info structure, which driver should assign if it require to perform asynchronous or periodic work. Driver should return the delay of the PTP next auxiliary work scheduling time (>=0) or negative value in case further scheduling is not required. - int ptp_schedule_worker(struct ptp_clock *ptp, unsigned long delay) which allows schedule PTP auxiliary work. The name of kthread_worker thread corresponds PTP PHC device name "ptp%d". Signed-off-by: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

ptp_clock: Allow for it to be optional In order to break the hard dependency between the PTP clock subsystem and ethernet drivers capable of being clock providers, this patch provides simple PTP stub functions to allow linkage of those drivers into the kernel even when the PTP subsystem is configured out. Drivers must be ready to accept NULL from ptp_clock_register() in that case. And to make it possible for PTP to be configured out, the select statement in those driver's Kconfig menu entries is converted to the new "imply" statement. This way the PTP subsystem may have Kconfig dependencies of its own, such as POSIX_TIMERS, without having to make those ethernet drivers unavailable if POSIX timers are cconfigured out. And when support for POSIX timers is selected again then the default config option for PTP clock support will automatically be adjusted accordingly. The pch_gbe driver is a bit special as it relies on extra code in drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c. Therefore we let the make process descend into drivers/ptp/ even if PTP_1588_CLOCK is unselected.
