This reverts commit 6d709cadfde68dbd12bef12fcced6222226dcb06.
The above change was done to avoid calling symbols exported by the
switch driver from the tagging protocol driver.
With the tagger-owned storage model, we have a new option on our hands,
and that is for the switch driver to provide a data consumer handler in
the form of a function pointer inside the ->connect_tag_protocol()
method. Having a function pointer avoids the problems of the exported
symbols approach.
By creating a handler for metadata frames holding TX timestamps on
SJA1110, we are able to eliminate an skb queue from the tagger data, and
replace it with a simple, and stateless, function pointer. This skb
queue is now handled exclusively by sja1105_ptp.c, which makes the code
easier to follow, as it used to be before the reverted patch.

The problem is that DSA tagging protocols really must not depend on the
switch driver, because this creates a circular dependency at insmod
time, and the switch driver will effectively not load when the tagging
protocol driver is missing.
The code was structured in the way it was for a reason, though. The DSA
driver-facing API for PTP timestamping relies on the assumption that
two-step TX timestamps are provided by the hardware in an out-of-band
manner, typically by raising an interrupt and making that timestamp
available inside some sort of FIFO which is to be accessed over
SPI/MDIO/etc.
So the API puts .port_txtstamp into dsa_switch_ops, because it is
expected that the switch driver needs to save some state (like put the
skb into a queue until its TX timestamp arrives).
On SJA1110, TX timestamps are provided by the switch as Ethernet
packets, so this makes them be received and processed by the tagging
protocol driver. This in itself is great, because the timestamps are
full 64-bit and do not require reconstruction, and since Ethernet is the
fastest I/O method available to/from the switch, PTP timestamps arrive
very quickly, no matter how bottlenecked the SPI connection is, because
SPI interaction is not needed at all.
DSA's code structure and strict isolation between the tagging protocol
driver and the switch driver break the natural code organization.
When the tagging protocol driver receives a packet which is classified
as a metadata packet containing timestamps, it passes those timestamps
one by one to the switch driver, which then proceeds to compare them
based on the recorded timestamp ID that was generated in .port_txtstamp.
The communication between the tagging protocol and the switch driver is
done through a method exported by the switch driver, sja1110_process_meta_tstamp.
To satisfy build requirements, we force a dependency to build the
tagging protocol driver as a module when the switch driver is a module.
However, as explained in the first paragraph, that causes the circular
dependency.
To solve this, move the skb queue from struct sja1105_private :: struct
sja1105_ptp_data to struct sja1105_private :: struct sja1105_tagger_data.
The latter is a data structure for which hacks have already been put
into place to be able to create persistent storage per switch that is
accessible from the tagging protocol driver (see sja1105_setup_ports).
With the skb queue directly accessible from the tagging protocol driver,
we can now move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp into the tagging driver
itself, and avoid exporting a symbol.

The TX timestamping procedure for SJA1105 is a bit unconventional
because the transmit procedure itself is unconventional.
Control packets (and therefore PTP as well) are transmitted to a
specific port in SJA1105 using "management routes" which must be written
over SPI to the switch. These are one-shot rules that match by
destination MAC address on traffic coming from the CPU port, and select
the precise destination port for that packet. So to transmit a packet
from NET_TX softirq context, we actually need to defer to a process
context so that we can perform that SPI write before we send the packet.
The DSA master dev_queue_xmit() runs in process context, and we poll
until the switch confirms it took the TX timestamp, then we annotate the
skb clone with that TX timestamp. This is why the sja1105 driver does
not need an skb queue for TX timestamping.
But the SJA1110 is a bit (not much!) more conventional, and you can
request 2-step TX timestamping through the DSA header, as well as give
the switch a cookie (timestamp ID) which it will give back to you when
it has the timestamp. So now we do need a queue for keeping the skb
clones until their TX timestamps become available.
The interesting part is that the metadata frames from SJA1105 haven't
disappeared completely. On SJA1105 they were used as follow-ups which
contained RX timestamps, but on SJA1110 they are actually TX completion
packets, which contain a variable (up to 32) array of timestamps.
Why an array? Because:
- not only is the TX timestamp on the egress port being communicated,
but also the RX timestamp on the CPU port. Nice, but we don't care
about that, so we ignore it.
- because a packet could be multicast to multiple egress ports, each
port takes its own timestamp, and the TX completion packet contains
the individual timestamps on each port.
This is unconventional because switches typically have a timestamping
FIFO and raise an interrupt, but this one doesn't. So the tagger needs
to detect and parse meta frames, and call into the main switch driver,
which pairs the timestamps with the skbs in the TX timestamping queue
which are waiting for one.

This is really easy, since the full RX timestamp is in the DSA trailer
and the tagger code transfers it to SJA1105_SKB_CB(skb)->tstamp, we just
need to move it to the skb shared info region. This is as opposed to
SJA1105, where the RX timestamp was received in a meta frame (so there
needed to be a state machine to pair the 2 packets) and the timestamp
was partial (so the packet, once matched with its timestamp, needed to
be added to an RX timestamping queue where the PTP aux worker would
reconstruct that timestamp).

It was a waste to clone skb directly in dsa_skb_tx_timestamp().
For one-step timestamping, a clone was not needed. For any failure of
port_txtstamp (this may usually happen), the skb clone had to be freed.
So this patch moves skb cloning for tx timestamp out of dsa core, and
let drivers clone skb in port_txtstamp if they really need.

Move ptp_classify_raw out of dsa core driver for handling tx
timestamp request. Let device drivers do this if they want.
Not all drivers want to limit tx timestamping for only PTP
packet.

The current poll interval is enough to ensure that rising and falling
edge events are not lost for a 1 PPS signal with 50% duty cycle.
But when we deliver the events to user space, it will try to infer if
they were corresponding to a rising or to a falling edge (the kernel
driver doesn't know that either). User space will try to make that
inference based on the time at which the PPS master had emitted the
pulse (i.e. if it's a .0 time, it's rising edge, if it's .5 time, it's
falling edge).
But there is no in-kernel API for retrieving the precise timestamp
corresponding to a PPS master (aka perout) pulse. So user space has to
guess even that. It will read the PTP time on the PPS master right after
we've delivered the extts event, and declare that the PPS master time
was just the closest integer second, based on 2 thresholds (lower than
.25, or higher than .75, and ignore anything else).
Except that, if we poll for extts events (and our hardware doesn't
really help us, by not providing an interrupt), then there is a risk
that the poll period (and therefore the time at which the event is
delivered) might confuse user space.
Because we are always scheduling the next extts poll at
SJA1105_EXTTS_INTERVAL "from now" (that's the only thing that the
schedule_delayed_work() API gives us), it means that the start time of
the next delayed workqueue will always be shifted to the right a little
bit (shifted with the SPI access duration of this workqueue run).
In turn, because user space sees extts events that are non-periodic
compared to the PPS master's time, this means that it might start making
wrong guesses about rising/falling edge.
To understand the effect, here is the output of ts2phc currently. Notice
the 'src' timestamps of the 'SKIP extts' events, and how they have a
large wander. They keep increasing until the upper limit for the ignore
threshold (.75 seconds), after which the application starts ignoring the
_other_ edge.

Fix that by taking the following measures:
- Schedule the poll from a timer. Because we are really scheduling the
timer periodically, the extts events delivered to user space are
periodic too, and don't suffer from the "shift-to-the-right" effect.
- Increase the poll period to 6 times a second. This imposes a smaller
upper bound to the shift that can occur to the delivery time of extts
events, and makes user space (ts2phc) to always interpret correctly
which events should be skipped and which shouldn't.
- Move the SPI readout itself to the main PTP kernel thread, instead of
the generic workqueue. This is because the timer runs in atomic
context, but is also better than before, because if needed, we can
chrt & taskset this kernel thread, to ensure it gets enough priority
under load.
After this patch, one can notice that the wander is greatly reduced, and
that the latencies of one extts poll are not propagated to the next. The
'src' timestamp that is skipped is never larger than .65 seconds (which
means .15 seconds larger than the time at which the real event occurred
at, and .10 seconds smaller than the .75 upper threshold for ignoring
the falling edge):

Restrict the TTEthernet hardware support on this switch to operate as
closely as possible to IEEE 802.1Qci as possible. This means that it can
perform PTP-time-based ingress admission control on streams identified
by {DMAC, VID, PCP}, which is useful when trying to ensure the
determinism of traffic scheduled via IEEE 802.1Qbv.
The oddity comes from the fact that in hardware (and in TTEthernet at
large), virtual links always need a full-blown action, including not
only the type of policing, but also the list of destination ports. So in
practice, a single tc-gate action will result in all packets getting
dropped. Additional actions (either "trap" or "redirect") need to be
specified in the same filter rule such that the conforming packets are
actually forwarded somewhere.
Apart from the VL Lookup, Policing and Forwarding tables which need to
be programmed for each flow (virtual link), the Schedule engine also
needs to be told to open/close the admission gates for each individual
virtual link. A fairly accurate (and detailed) description of how that
works is already present in sja1105_tas.c, since it is already used to
trigger the egress gates for the tc-taprio offload (IEEE 802.1Qbv). Key
point here, we remember that the schedule engine supports 8
"subschedules" (execution threads that iterate through the global
schedule in parallel, and that no 2 hardware threads must execute a
schedule entry at the same time). For tc-taprio, each egress port used
one of these 8 subschedules, leaving a total of 4 subschedules unused.
In principle we could have allocated 1 subschedule for the tc-gate
offload of each ingress port, but actually the schedules of all virtual
links installed on each ingress port would have needed to be merged
together, before they could have been programmed to hardware. So
simplify our life and just merge the entire tc-gate configuration, for
all virtual links on all ingress ports, into a single subschedule. Be
sure to check that against the usual hardware scheduling conflicts, and
program it to hardware alongside any tc-taprio subschedule that may be
present.

The SJA1105 switch family has a PTP_CLK pin which emits a signal with
fixed 50% duty cycle, but variable frequency and programmable start time.
On the second generation (P/Q/R/S) switches, this pin supports even more
functionality. The use case described by the hardware documents talks
about synchronization via oneshot pulses: given 2 sja1105 switches,
arbitrarily designated as a master and a slave, the master emits a
single pulse on PTP_CLK, while the slave is configured to timestamp this
pulse received on its PTP_CLK pin (which must obviously be configured as
input). The difference between the timestamps then exactly becomes the
slave offset to the master.
The only trouble with the above is that the hardware is very much tied
into this use case only, and not very generic beyond that:
- When emitting a oneshot pulse, instead of being told when to emit it,
the switch just does it "now" and tells you later what time it was,
via the PTPSYNCTS register. [ Incidentally, this is the same register
that the slave uses to collect the ext_ts timestamp from, too. ]
- On the sync slave, there is no interrupt mechanism on reception of a
new extts, and no FIFO to buffer them, because in the foreseen use
case, software is in control of both the master and the slave pins,
so it "knows" when there's something to collect.
These 2 problems mean that:
- We don't support (at least yet) the quirky oneshot mode exposed by
the hardware, just normal periodic output.
- We abuse the hardware a little bit when we expose generic extts.
Because there's no interrupt mechanism, we need to poll at double the
frequency we expect to receive a pulse. Currently that means a
non-configurable "twice a second".

Because the PTP_CLK pin starts toggling only at a time higher than the
current PTP clock, this helper from the time-aware shaper code comes in
handy here as well. We'll use it to transform generic user input for the
perout request into valid input for the sja1105 hardware.

The "state machine" is a workqueue invoked after each manipulation
command on the PTP clock (reset, adjust time, set time, adjust
frequency) which checks over the state of the time-aware scheduler.
So it is not monitored periodically, only in reaction to a PTP command
typically triggered from a userspace daemon (linuxptp). Otherwise there
is no reason for things to go wrong.
Now that the timecounter/cyclecounter has been replaced with hardware
operations on the PTP clock, the TAS Kconfig now depends upon PTP and
the standalone clocksource operating mode has been removed.

The PTPSTRTSCH and PTPSTOPSCH bits are actually readable and indicate
whether the time-aware scheduler is running or not. We will be using
that for monitoring the scheduler in the next patch, so refactor the PTP

The PTP time of the switch is not preserved when uploading a new static
configuration. Work around this hardware oddity by reading its PTP time
before a static config upload, and restoring it afterwards.
Static config changes are expected to occur at runtime even in scenarios
directly related to PTP, i.e. the Time-Aware Scheduler of the switch is
programmed in this way.
Perhaps the larger implication of this patch is that the PTP .gettimex64
and .settime functions need to be exposed to sja1105_main.c, where the
PTP lock needs to be held during this entire process. So their core
implementation needs to move to some common functions which get exposed
in sja1105_ptp.h.

Adjusting the hardware clock (PTPCLKVAL, PTPCLKADD, PTPCLKRATE) is a
requirement for the auxiliary PTP functionality of the switch
(TTEthernet, PPS input, PPS output).
Therefore we need to switch to using these registers to keep a
synchronized time in hardware, instead of the timecounter/cyclecounter
implementation, which is reliant on the free-running PTPTSCLK.

The PTP command register contains enable bits for:
- Putting the 64-bit PTPCLKVAL register in add/subtract or write mode
- Taking timestamps off of the corrected vs free-running clock
- Starting/stopping the TTEthernet scheduling
- Starting/stopping PPS output
- Resetting the switch
When a command needs to be issued (e.g. "change the PTPCLKVAL from write
mode to add/subtract mode"), one cannot simply write to the command
register setting the PTPCLKADD bit to 1, because that would zeroize the
other settings. One also cannot do a read-modify-write (that would be
too easy for this hardware) because not all bits of the command register
are readable over SPI.
So this leaves us with the only option of keeping the value of the PTP
command register in the driver, and operating on that.
Actually there are 2 types of PTP operations now:
- Operations that modify the cached PTP command. These operate on
ptp_data->cmd as a pointer.
- Operations that apply all previously cached PTP settings, but don't
otherwise cache what they did themselves. The sja1105_ptp_reset
function is such an example. It copies the ptp_data->cmd on stack
before modifying and writing it to SPI.
This practically means that struct sja1105_ptp_cmd is no longer an
implementation detail, since it needs to be stored in full into struct
sja1105_ptp_data, and hence in struct sja1105_private. So the (*ptp_cmd)
function prototype can change and take struct sja1105_ptp_cmd as second
argument now.

This is a non-functional change with 2 goals (both for the case when
CONFIG_NET_DSA_SJA1105_PTP is not enabled):
- Reduce the size of the sja1105_private structure.
- Make the PTP code more self-contained.
Leaving priv->ptp_data.lock to be initialized in sja1105_main.c is not a
leftover: it will be used in a future patch "net: dsa: sja1105: Restore
PTP time after switch reset".

The new rule (as already started for sja1105_tas.h) is for functions of
optional driver components (ones which may be disabled via Kconfig - PTP
and TAS) to take struct dsa_switch *ds instead of struct sja1105_private
*priv as first argument.
This is so that forward-declarations of struct sja1105_private can be
avoided.
So make sja1105_ptp.h the second user of this rule.

On TX, timestamping is performed synchronously from the
port_deferred_xmit worker thread.
In management routes, the switch is requested to take egress timestamps
(again partial), which are reconstructed and appended to a clone of the
skb that was just sent. The cloning is done by DSA and we retrieve the
pointer from the structure that DSA keeps in skb->cb.
Then these clones are enqueued to the socket's error queue for
application-level processing.

The design of this PHC driver is influenced by the switch's behavior
w.r.t. timestamping. It exposes two PTP counters, one free-running
(PTPTSCLK) and the other offset- and frequency-corrected in hardware
through PTPCLKVAL, PTPCLKADD and PTPCLKRATE. The MACs can sample either
of these for frame timestamps.
However, the user manual warns that taking timestamps based on the
corrected clock is less than useful, as the switch can deliver corrupted
timestamps in a variety of circumstances.
Therefore, this PHC uses the free-running PTPTSCLK together with a
timecounter/cyclecounter structure that translates it into a software
time domain. Thus, the settime/adjtime and adjfine callbacks are
hardware no-ops.
The timestamps (introduced in a further patch) will also be translated
to the correct time domain before being handed over to the userspace PTP
stack.
The introduction of a second set of PHC operations that operate on the
hardware PTPCLKVAL/PTPCLKADD/PTPCLKRATE in the future is somewhat
unavoidable, as the TTEthernet core uses the corrected PTP time domain.
However, the free-running counter + timecounter structure combination
will suffice for now, as the resulting timestamps yield a sub-50 ns
synchronization offset in steady state using linuxptp.
For this patch, in absence of frame timestamping, the operations of the
switch PHC were tested by syncing it to the system time as a local slave
clock with:
phc2sys -s CLOCK_REALTIME -c swp2 -O 0 -m -S 0.01
