This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING
capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs
can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device
associated with the interface.

Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic
ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY
drivers lack special time stamping features.

Add a new ethtool operation (get_rxfh_indir_size) to get the
indirectional table size.  Use this to validate the user buffer size
before calling get_rxfh_indir or set_rxfh_indir.  Use get_rxnfc to get
the number of RX rings, and validate the contents of the new
indirection table before calling set_rxfh_indir.  Remove this
validation from drivers.

<title>net: add external loopback test in ethtool self test</title>

External loopback test can be performed by application without any driver
support on normal Ethernet cards.
But on CNA devices, where multiple functions share same physical port.
Here internal loopback test and external loopback test can be initiated by
multiple functions at same time. To co exist all functions, firmware need
to regulate what test can be run by which function. So before performing external
loopback test, command need to send to firmware, which will quiescent other functions.

User may not want to run external loopback test always. As special cable need to be
connected for this test.
So adding explicit flag in ethtool self test, which will specify interface
to perform external loopback test.
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB: Application set to request external loopback test
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB_DONE: Driver ack if test performed

<title>v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE</title>

<id>bff55273f98dea0ceb78e28eb69462fe5f72ef3d</id>
<content type='text'>
This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE.  The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
 - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
 - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
 - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
 - Endianess wrong on displayed values.
 - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited

The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe.  Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.

v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
 - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
 - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
 - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated

Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops-&gt;set_rx_ntuple().

<id>29dd54b72ba8c5ad0dd6dd33584449b5953f700b</id>
<content type='text'>
Added code to take FW dump via ethtool. Dump level can be controlled via setting the
dump flag. A get function is provided to query the current setting of the dump flag.
Dump data is obtained from the driver via a separate get function.

Changes from v3:
Fixed buffer length issue in ethtool_get_dump_data function.
Updated kernel doc for ethtool_dump struct and get_dump_flag function.

Changes from v2:
Provided separate commands for get flag and data.
Check for minimum of the two buffer length obtained via ethtool and driver and
use that for dump buffer
Pass up the driver return error codes up to the caller.
Added kernel doc comments.

<title>ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data</title>

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.
