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"

Commit a60fc3294a ("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.

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.

The normal capture for system/device cross timestamps is CLOCK_REALTIME,
but that's meaningless for AUX clocks.
Add a clock_id field to struct system_device_crosststamp and initialize it
with CLOCK_REALTIME at the two places which prepare for cross
timestamps.
After the related code has been cleaned up, the core code will honor the
clock_id field when calculating the system time from the system counter
snapshot.
No functional change.

In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver
to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by
the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of
underlying hardware. Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be
used by driver code to bind to that device. There are multiple reasons
why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1].
Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their
ACPI companions, so convert the PTP VMware ACPI driver to a platform
one.
While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs
layout and so it will be visible to user space.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning

Update existing DPLL drivers to utilize the DPLL reference count
tracking infrastructure.
Add dpll_tracker fields to the drivers' internal device and pin
structures. Pass pointers to these trackers when calling
dpll_device_get/put() and dpll_pin_get/put().
This allows developers to inspect the specific references held by this
driver via debugfs when CONFIG_DPLL_REFCNT_TRACKER is enabled, aiding
in the debugging of resource leaks.

Add support for the REF_TRACKER infrastructure to the DPLL subsystem.
When enabled, this allows developers to track and debug reference counting
leaks or imbalances for dpll_device and dpll_pin objects. It records stack
traces for every get/put operation and exposes this information via
debugfs at:
/sys/kernel/debug/ref_tracker/dpll_device_*
/sys/kernel/debug/ref_tracker/dpll_pin_*
The following API changes are made to support this:
1. dpll_device_get() / dpll_device_put() now accept a 'dpll_tracker *'
(which is a typedef to 'struct ref_tracker *' when enabled, or an empty
struct otherwise).
2. dpll_pin_get() / dpll_pin_put() and fwnode_dpll_pin_find() similarly
accept the tracker argument.
3. Internal registration structures now hold a tracker to associate the
reference held by the registration with the specific owner.
All existing in-tree drivers (ice, mlx5, ptp_ocp, zl3073x) are updated
to pass NULL for the new tracker argument, maintaining current behavior
while enabling future debugging capabilities.

Add optional support for device notifications in VMClock. When
supported, the hypervisor will send a device notification every time it
updates the seq_count to a new even value.
Moreover, add support for poll() in VMClock as a means to propagate this
notification to user space. poll() will return a POLLIN event to
listeners every time seq_count changes to a value different than the one
last seen (since open() or last read()/pread()). This means that when
poll() returns a POLLIN event, listeners need to use read() to observe
what has changed and update the reader's view of seq_count. In other
words, after a poll() returned, all subsequent calls to poll() will
immediately return with a POLLIN event until the listener calls read().
The device advertises support for the notification mechanism by setting
flag VMCLOCK_FLAG_NOTIFICATION_PRESENT in vmclock_abi flags field. If
the flag is not present the driver won't setup the ACPI notification
handler and poll() will always immediately return POLLHUP.

Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to

This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also,

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,

- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI

context:

In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

The PTP core falls back to gettimex64 and getcrosststamp when
getcycles64 or getcyclesx64 are not implemented. This causes the CYCLES
ioctls to retrieve PHC real time instead of free-running cycles.
Reject PTP_SYS_OFFSET_{PRECISE,EXTENDED}_CYCLES for clocks without
free-running counter support since the result would represent PHC real
time and system time rather than cycles and system time.

Originally ptp_ocp driver was not strictly checking flags for external
timestamper and was always activating rising edge timestamping as it's
the only supported mode. Recent changes to ptp made it incompatible with
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl. Adjust ptp_clock_info to provide supported
mode and be compatible with new infra.
While at here remove explicit check of periodic output flags from the
driver and provide supported flags for ptp core to check.

The ordering of ptp_clock_unregister() is not ideal, as the chardev
remains published while state is being torn down, which means userspace
can race with the kernel teardown. There is also no cleanup of enabled
pin settings nor of the internal PPS event, which means enabled events
can still forward into the core, dereferencing a free'd pointer.
Rework the ordering of cleanup in ptp_clock_unregister() so that we
unpublish the posix clock (and user chardev), disable any pins that
have EXTTS events enabled, disable the PPS event, and then clean up
the aux work and PPS source.
This avoids potential use-after-free and races in PTP clock driver
teardown.

The NETC Timer supports looping back the output pulse signal of Fiper-n
into Trigger-n input, so that users can leverage this feature to validate
some other features without external hardware support. For example, users
can use it to test external trigger stamp (EXTTS). And users can combine
EXTTS with loopback mode to check whether the generation time of PPS is
aligned with an integral second of PHC, or the periodic output signal
(PTP_CLK_REQ_PEROUT) whether is generated at the specified time.
Since ptp_clock_info::perout_loopback() has been added to the ptp_clock
driver as a generic interface to enable or disable the periodic output
signal loopback, therefore, netc_timer_perout_loopback() is added as a
callback of ptp_clock_info::perout_loopback().
Test the generation time of PPS event:
$ echo 0 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ptp0/perout_loopback
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/pps_enable
$ testptp -d /dev/ptp0 -e 3

$ echo 0 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ptp0/perout_loopback
$ echo 0 150 0 1 500000000 > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/period

generic interfaces to set the periodic output signal loopback, rather
than each vendor having a different implementation.

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/ptp<N>/n_perout_loopback
Enable the loopback of the periodic output signal of channel X:
$ echo <X> 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ptp<N>/perout_loopback
Disable the loopback of the periodic output signal of channel X:
$ echo <X> 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ptp<N>/perout_loopback

The NETC Timer is capable of recording the timestamp on receipt of an
external pulse on a GPIO pin. It supports two such external triggers.
The recorded value is saved in a 16 entry FIFO accessed by
TMR_ETTSa_H/L. An interrupt can be generated when the trigger occurs,
when the FIFO reaches a threshold or overflows.

NETC Timer has three pulse channels, all of which support periodic pulse
output. Bind the channel to a ALARM register and then sets a future time
into the ALARM register. When the current time is greater than the ALARM
value, the FIPER register will be triggered to count down, and when the
count reaches 0, the pulse will be triggered. The PPS signal is also
implemented in this way.
i.MX95 only has ALARM1 can be used as an indication to the FIPER start
down counting, but i.MX943 has ALARM1 and ALARM2 can be used. Therefore,
only one channel can work for i.MX95, two channels for i.MX943 as most.
In addition, change the PPS channel to be dynamically selected from fixed
number (0) because add PTP_CLK_REQ_PEROUT support.

The NETC Timer is capable of generating a PPS interrupt to the host. To
support this feature, a 64-bit alarm time (which is a integral second
of PHC in the future) is set to TMR_ALARM, and the period is set to
TMR_FIPER. The alarm time is compared to the current time on each update,
then the alarm trigger is used as an indication to the TMR_FIPER starts
down counting. After the period has passed, the PPS event is generated.
According to the NETC block guide, the Timer has three FIPERs, any of
which can be used to generate the PPS events, but in the current
implementation, we only need one of them to implement the PPS feature,
so FIPER 0 is used as the default PPS generator. Also, the Timer has
2 ALARMs, currently, ALARM 0 is used as the default time comparator.
However, if the time is adjusted or the integer of period is changed when
PPS is enabled, the PPS event will not be generated at an integral second
of PHC. The suggested steps from IP team if time drift happens:
1. Disable FIPER before adjusting the hardware time
2. Rearm ALARM after the time adjustment to make the next PPS event be
generated at an integral second of PHC.
3. Re-enable FIPER.

NETC V4 Timer provides current time with nanosecond resolution, precise
periodic pulse, pulse on timeout (alarm), and time capture on external
pulse support. And it supports time synchronization as required for
IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS-2020.
Inside NETC, ENETC can capture the timestamp of the sent/received packet
through the PHC provided by the Timer and record it on the Tx/Rx BD. And
through the relevant PHC interfaces provided by the driver, the enetc V4
driver can support PTP time synchronization.
In addition, NETC V4 Timer is similar to the QorIQ 1588 timer, but it is
not exactly the same. The current ptp-qoriq driver is not compatible with
NETC V4 Timer, most of the code cannot be reused, see below reasons.
1. The architecture of ptp-qoriq driver makes the register offset fixed,
however, the offsets of all the high registers and low registers of V4
are swapped, and V4 also adds some new registers. so extending ptp-qoriq
to make it compatible with V4 Timer is tantamount to completely rewriting
ptp-qoriq driver.
2. The usage of some functions is somewhat different from QorIQ timer,
such as the setting of TCLK_PERIOD and TMR_ADD, the logic of configuring
PPS, etc., so making the driver compatible with V4 Timer will undoubtedly
increase the complexity of the code and reduce readability.
3. QorIQ is an expired brand. It is difficult for us to verify whether
it works stably on the QorIQ platforms if we refactor the driver, and
this will make maintenance difficult, so refactoring the driver obviously
does not bring any benefits.
Therefore, add this new driver for NETC V4 Timer. Note that the missing
features like PEROUT, PPS and EXTTS will be added in subsequent patches.
