net: treewide: Fix typo found in DocBook/networking.xml

2014-09-06T00:35:28+00:00

This patch fix spelling typo found in DocBook/networking.xml.
It is because the neworking.xml is generated from comments
in the source, I have to fix typo in comments within the source.

net-timestamp: only report sw timestamp if reporting bit is set

2014-09-05T22:02:43+00:00

The timestamping API has separate bits for generating and reporting
timestamps. A software timestamp should only be reported for a packet
when the packet has the relevant generation flag (SKBTX_..) set
and the socket has reporting bit SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE set.

The second check was accidentally removed. Reinstitute the original
behavior.

Tested:
  Without this patch, Documentation/networking/txtimestamp reports
  timestamps regardless of whether SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is set.
  After the patch, it only reports them when the flag is set.

net-timestamp: sock_tx_timestamp() fix

2014-08-06T19:38:07+00:00

sock_tx_timestamp() should not ignore initial *tx_flags value, as TCP
stack can store SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG in it.

Also first argument (struct sock *) can be const.

net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreams

2014-08-05T23:35:54+00:00

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte
in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP.

The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved
beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK
and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not
necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet scheduler

2014-08-05T23:35:54+00:00

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler.
Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the
scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding,
tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp.

net-timestamp: move timestamp flags out of sk_flags

2014-08-05T23:35:54+00:00

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit.
Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags.

Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt.

SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive
timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this
last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch.

The u16 in sock can be moved into a 16-bit hole below sk_gso_max_segs,
though that scatters tstamp fields throughout the struct.

net-timestamp: extend SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data struct

2014-08-05T23:35:53+00:00

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING
read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined
implicitly as timespec[3].

1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and

2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always
   accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field
   ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to
   define the existing behavior.

The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to
sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING.

net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

2014-07-29T18:39:50+00:00

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software,
hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system
format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining
hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the
kernel.

The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware
support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field
in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers
implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero.

Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing
the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to
avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp.

net: use SYSCALL_DEFINEx for sys_recv

2014-04-16T19:15:05+00:00

Make sys_recv a first class citizen by using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx
macro. Besides being cleaner this will also generate meta data
for the system call so tracing tools like ftrace or LTTng can
resolve this system call.

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file

2014-04-01T20:43:18+00:00

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is
triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set:

  ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined!

The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier,
so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select
it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to
select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK
or similar that would pull it in automatically.

This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP
program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits
to drivers.

This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw()
API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also,
the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it
can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]).

In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg
tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via
`./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the
commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when
there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need
to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead,
a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old
code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very
same filter.
