Essentially reverts commit 8fd75c58a0 ("i40e: move ethtool
stats boiler plate code to i40e_ethtool_stats.h", 2018-08-30), and
additionally moves the similar code in i40evf into i40evf_ethtool.c.
The code was intially moved from i40e_ethtool.c into i40e_ethtool_stats.h
as a way of better logically organizing the code. This has two problems.
First, we can't have an inline function with variadic arguments on all
platforms. Second, it gave the appearance that we had plans to share
code between the i40e and i40evf drivers, due to having a near copy of
the contents in the i40evf/i40e_ethtool_stats.h file.
Patches which actually attempt to combine or share code between the i40e
and i40evf drivers have not materialized, and are likely a ways off.
Rather than fixing the one function which causes build issues, just move
this code back into the i40e_ethtool.c and i40evf_ethtool.c files. Note
that we also change these functions back from static inlines to just
statics, since they're no longer in a header file.
We can revisit this if/when work is done to actually attempt to share
code between drivers. Alternatively, this stats code could be made more
generic so that it can be shared across drivers as part of ethtool
kernel work.

This series provides updates to mlx5 ethernet driver.
1) Starting with a four patches series to optimize flow counters updates,
From Vlad Buslov:
==============================================
By default mlx5 driver updates cached counters each second. Update function
consumes noticeable amount of CPU resources. The goal of this patch series
is to optimize update function.
Investigation revealed following bottlenecks in fs counters
implementation:
1) Update code(scheduled each second) iterates over all counters twice.
(first for finding and deleting counters that are marked for deletion,
second iteration is for actually updating the counters)
2) Counters are stored in rb tree. Linear iteration over all rb tree
elements(rb_next in profiling data) consumed ~65% of time spent in
update function.
Following optimizations were implemented:
1) Instead of just marking counters for deletion, store them in
standalone list. This removes first iteration over whole counters tree.
2) Store counters in sorted list to optimize traversing them and remove
calls to rb_next.
First implementation of these changes caused degradation of performance,
instead of improving it. Investigation revealed that there first cache
line of struct mlx5_fc is full and adding anything to it causes amount
of cache misses to double. To mitigate that, following refactorings were
implemented:
- Change 'addlist' list type from double linked to single linked. This
allowes to get free space for one additional pointer that is used to
store deletion list(optimization 1)
- Substitute rb tree with idr. Idr is non-intrusive data structure and
doesn't require adding any new members to struct mlx5_fc. Use free
space that became available for double linked sorted list that is used
for traversing all counters. (optimization 2)
Described changes reduced CPU time spent in mlx5_fc_stats_work from 70%
to 44%. (global perf profile mode)
============================================
The rest of the series are misc updates:
2) From Kamal, Move mlx5e_priv_flags into en_ethtool.c, to avoid a
compilation warning.
3) From Roi Dayan, Move Q counters allocation and drop RQ to init_rx profile
function to avoid allocating Q counters when not required.
4) From Shay Agroskin, Replace PTP clock lock from RW lock to seq lock.
Almost double the packet rate when timestamping is active on multiple TX
queues.
5) From: Natali Shechtman, set ECN for received packets using CQE indication.
6) From: Alaa Hleihel, don't set CHECKSUM_COMPLETE on SCTP packets.
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE is not applicable to SCTP protocol.

Add support for the Northstar Plus SerDes which is accessed through a
special page of the switch. Since this is something that most people
probably will not want to use, make it a configurable option with a
default on ARCH_BCM_NSP where it is the most useful currently.
The SerDes supports both SGMII and 1000baseX modes for both lanes, and
2500baseX for one of the lanes, and is internally looking like a
seemingly standard MII PHY, except for the few bits that got repurposed.

rtnetlink: add IFA_TARGET_NETNSID for RTM_GETADDR
This iteration should mainly addresses the suggestion to use
IFA_TARGET_NETNSID as the property name. Additionally, an an alias for
the already existing IFLA_IF_NETNSID property is added.
Note that two additional cleanup patches (8\9 and 9\9) were added to
address concerns raised that passing more than 6 arguments to a function
will cause additional variables to be pushed onto the stack instead of
being placed into registers. The way I addressed this is by introducing
two new struct inet{6}_fill_args that are used to pass common
information down to inet{6}_fill_if*() functions shortening all those
functions to three pointer arguments.
If this is something more people than Kirill find useful they can be
kept if not they can simply be dropped in later iterations of this
series or when merging.
Here is a short overview:
1. Rename from IFA_IF_NETNSID to IFA_TARGET_NETNSID.
2. Add IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID as an alias for IFA_IFLA_NETNSID and switch
all occurrences over to the new alias.
3. Add inet4_fill_args struct to avoid passing more than 6 arguments in
inet_fill_if*() functions.
4. Add inet6_fill_args struct to avoid passing more than 6 arguments in
inet_fill_if*() functions.
The only functional change is the export of rtnl_get_net_ns_capable()
which is needed in case ipv6 is built as a module.
Note, I did not change the property name to IFA_TARGET_NSID as there was
no clear agreement what would be preferred. My personal preference is to
keep the IFA_IF_NETNSID name because it aligns naturally with the
IFLA_IF_NETNSID property for RTM_*LINK requests. Jiri seems to prefer
this name too.
However, if there is agreement that another property name makes more
sense I'm happy to send a v2 that changes this.
To test this patchset I performed 1 million getifaddrs() requests
against a network namespace containing 5 interfaces (lo, eth{0-4}). The
first test used a network namespace aware getifaddrs() implementation I
wrote and the second test used the traditional setns() + getifaddrs()
method. The results show that this patchsets allows userspace to cut
retrieval time in half:
1. netns_getifaddrs(): 82 microseconds
2. setns() + getifaddrs(): 162 microseconds
A while back we introduced and enabled IFLA_IF_NETNSID in
RTM_{DEL,GET,NEW}LINK requests (cf. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). This has led
to signficant performance increases since it allows userspace to avoid
taking the hit of a setns(netns_fd, CLONE_NEWNET), then getting the
interfaces from the netns associated with the netns_fd. Especially when a
lot of network namespaces are in use, using setns() becomes increasingly
problematic when performance matters.
Usually, RTML_GETLINK requests are followed by RTM_GETADDR requests (cf.
getifaddrs() style functions and friends). But currently, RTM_GETADDR
requests do not support a similar property like IFLA_IF_NETNSID for
RTM_*LINK requests.
This is problematic since userspace can retrieve interfaces from another
network namespace by sending a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property along but
RTM_GETLINK request but is still forced to use the legacy setns() style of
retrieving interfaces in RTM_GETADDR requests.
The goal of this series is to make it possible to perform RTM_GETADDR
requests on different network namespaces. To this end a new IFA_IF_NETNSID
property for RTM_*ADDR requests is introduced. It can be used to send a
network namespace identifier along in RTM_*ADDR requests. The network
namespace identifier will be used to retrieve the target network namespace
in which the request is supposed to be fulfilled. This aligns the behavior
of RTM_*ADDR requests with the behavior of RTM_*LINK requests.
- The caller must have assigned a valid network namespace identifier for
the target network namespace.
- The caller must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
target network namespace.

This adds a new IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property to be used by address
families such as PF_INET and PF_INET6.
The IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property can be used to send a network namespace
identifier as part of a request. If a IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property is
identified it will be used to retrieve the target network namespace in
which the request is to be made.

get_target_net() will be used in follow-up patches in ipv{4,6} codepaths to
retrieve network namespaces based on network namespace identifiers. So
remove the static declaration and export in the rtnetlink header. Also,
rename it to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() to make it obvious what this
function is doing.
Export rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() so it can be used when ipv6 is built as
a module.
