ptp: netc: explicitly clear TMR_OFF during initialization

2026-07-23T16:16:14+00:00

The NETC timer does not support function level reset, so TMR_OFF_L/H
registers are not cleared by pcie_flr(). If TMR_OFF was set to a
non-zero value in a previous binding, it will persist across driver
rebind and cause inaccurate PTP time.

There is also a hardware issue: after a warm reset or soft reset,
TMR_OFF_L/H registers appear to be cleared to zero, but the timer clock
domain internally retains the stale value. When the timer is re-enabled,
TMR_CUR_TIME continues to track the old offset until TMR_OFF is written
explicitly. This can cause incorrect PTP timestamps and even PTP clock
synchronization failures.

Per the recommendation from the IP team, explicitly write 0 to TMR_OFF
in netc_timer_init() to flush the internally cached value and ensure
TMR_CUR_TIME follows the freshly initialized counter.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack
continues. In this chapter:
- don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration
- don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers
- prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal

- Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU.
It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating
names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock.

- Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even
tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the
OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each
netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.

- Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes
down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.

- Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on
retransmit timeout.

- Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.

- Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.

- Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.

- Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need
to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option,
because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 >
40).

- Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address
Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN
deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).

- Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over
tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).

- Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.

- Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).

- Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).

- Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).

- Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows
migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.

The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA
migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot
express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors.

The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports
reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an
atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse
during AEAD SA migration.

- Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.

- Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.

Cross-tree stuff:

- Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth
Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto
API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into
reference-counted objects.

- Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the
global crypto API as obsolete and insecure.

Wireless:

- Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with
lower capability than AP.

- Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).

- More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast,
schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)

- Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work
(e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).

- Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.

Netfilter:

- Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary
lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different
namespaces.

- Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object
lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.

Deletions:

- Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to
avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More
work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any
users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).

- Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far
more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks
unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the
vendor that added this are AWOL.

- Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM
needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.

- Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol
graveyard, I mean, repository.

- Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit
kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely,
soon.

- Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

- Software:
- Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit)

configuration
- support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads
- add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for
control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size

Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for NTP/timekeeping and PTP:

   - Expand timekeeping snapshot mechanisms

     The various snapshot functions are mostly used for PTP to collect
     "atomic" snapshots of various involved clocks.

     They lack support for the recently introduced AUX clocks and do not
     provide the underlying counter value (e.g. TSC) to user space.
     Exposing the counter value snapshot allows for better control and
     steering.

     Convert the hard wired ktime_get_snapshot() to take a clock ID,
     which allows the caller to select the clock ID to be captured along
     with CLOCK_MONONOTONIC_RAW. Additionally capture the underlying
     hardware counter value and the clock source ID of the counter.

     Expand the hardware based snapshot capture where devices provide a
     mechanism to snapshot the hardware PTP clock and the system counter
     (usually via PCI/PTM) to support AUX clocks and also provide the
     captured counter value back to the caller and not only the clock
     timestamps derived from it.

   - Add a new optional read_snapshot() callback to clocksources

     That is required to capture atomic snapshots from clocksources
     which are derived from TSC with a scaling mechanism (e.g. Hyper-V,
     KVMclock).

     The value pair is handed back in the snapshot structure to the
     callers, so they can do the necessary correlations in a more
     precise way.

  This touches usage sites of the affected functions and data structure
  all over the tree, but stays fully backwards compatible for the
  existing user space exposed interfaces. New PTP IOCTLs will provide
  access to the extended functionality in later kernel versions"

ptp: ocp: add shutdown callback

2026-06-13T00:54:35+00:00

The shutdown callback was never implemented for this driver, but it's
needed because .remove() callback is never called during kexec/reboot
process. That leaves HW with some interrupts enabled and may cause
spurious interrupt while booting into a new kernel during with kexec.
If it happens that I2C interrupt fires during kexec, the whole I2C bus
is disabled leaving TimeCard with no devlink communication. The same
happens if timestampers were enabled, leaving the card without
timestamper interrupts until full reboot cycle.

Implement .shutdown() callback with the same function as remove
callback.

ptp: ocp: fix resource freeing order

2026-06-10T02:26:56+00:00

Commit a60fc3294a37 ("ptp: rework ptp_clock_unregister() to disable
events") added a call to ptp_disable_all_events() which changes the
configuration of pins if they support EXTTS events. In ptp_ocp_detach()
pins resources are freed before ptp_clock_unregister() and it leads to
use-after-free during driver removal. Fix it by changing the order of
free/unregister calls. To avoid irq handler running on the other core
while ptp device unregistering, call synchronize_irq() after HW is
configured to stop producing irqs and no irqs are in-flight.

ptp: vmclock: Use hw_cycles from snapshot for precise TSC pairing

2026-06-05T12:25:03+00:00

When the system clocksource is kvmclock or Hyper-V (not the TSC directly),
vmclock_get_crosststamp() falls through to a separate get_cycles() call,
losing the atomic pairing between the system time snapshot and the TSC
reading.

Now that ktime_get_snapshot_id() populates hw_cycles with the underlying
TSC value for derived clocksources, use it when available.  This gives a
perfect (system_time, tsc) pairing for the device time calculation.

The SUPPORT_KVMCLOCK wrapper is still needed to convert the TSC into
kvmclock nanoseconds for system_counter->cycles, because otherwise
get_device_system_crosststamp() can't interpret the result against the
system clock.
