ice: implement GTP RSS context tracking and configuration
This commit implements the core RSS context management and configuration
logic for GTP (GTPU) protocol support in VF RSS operations.
Key implementation features:
- GTPU hash context management with pre/post processing functions
- Context index calculation and mapping for different GTPU scenarios
- Integration with main RSS configuration flow via wrapper functions
- Support for IPv4/IPv6 GTPU RSS configurations
- Rollback mechanism for handling RSS rule conflicts
- Hash context reset and cleanup functionality
The implementation provides comprehensive GTPU RSS support by:
1. Adding ice_add_rss_cfg_pre_gtpu() for preprocessing GTPU contexts
2. Adding ice_add_rss_cfg_post_gtpu() for postprocessing configurations
3. Adding ice_calc_gtpu_ctx_idx() for context index calculation
4. Integrating GTPU logic into ice_add_rss_cfg_wrap() and
ice_rem_rss_cfg_wrap()
5. Supporting context tracking in VF hash_ctx structures
This completes the GTP RSS infrastructure enabling VFs to configure
RSS hashing on GTP-encapsulated traffic.

i40e: support generic devlink param "max_mac_per_vf"
Currently the i40e driver enforces its own internally calculated per-VF MAC
filter limit, derived from the number of allocated VFs and available
hardware resources. This limit is not configurable by the administrator,
which makes it difficult to control how many MAC addresses each VF may
use.
This patch adds support for the new generic devlink runtime parameter
"max_mac_per_vf" which provides administrators with a way to cap the
number of MAC addresses a VF can use:
- When the parameter is set to 0 (default), the driver continues to use
its internally calculated limit.
- When set to a non-zero value, the driver applies this value as a strict
cap for VFs, overriding the internal calculation.
Important notes:
- The configured value is a theoretical maximum. Hardware limits may
still prevent additional MAC addresses from being added, even if the
parameter allows it.
- Since MAC filters are a shared hardware resource across all VFs,
setting a high value may cause resource contention and starve other
VFs.
- This change gives administrators predictable and flexible control over
VF resource allocation, while still respecting hardware limitations.

net: stmmac: socfpga: Add Agilex5 platform support and enhancements
This patch series adds support for the Agilex5 EMAC platform to the
dwmac-socfpga driver.
The series includes:
- Platform configuration for Agilex5 EMAC
- Enabling Time-Based Scheduling (TBS) for Tx queues 6 and 7
- Enabling TCP Segmentation Offload(TSO)
- Adding hardware-supported cross timestamping using the SMTG IP,
allowing precise synchronization between MAC and system time via
PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE.
====================
Cross timestamping is supported on Agilex5 platform with Synchronized
Multidrop Timestamp Gathering(SMTG) IP. The hardware cross-timestamp
result is made available the applications through the ioctl call
PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE, which inturn calls stmmac_getcrosststamp().
Device time is stored in the MAC Auxiliary register. The 64-bit System
time (ARM_ARCH_COUNTER) is stored in SMTG IP. SMTG IP is an MDIO device
with 0xC - 0xF MDIO register space holds 64-bit system time.
This commit is similar to following commit for Intel platforms:
Commit 341f67e424e5 ("net: stmmac: Add hardware supported cross-timestamp")
Agilex5 HPS EMAC uses the dwxgmac-3.10a IP, unlike previous socfpga
platforms which use dwmac1000 IP. Due to differences in platform
configuration, Agilex5 requires a distinct setup.
Introduce a setup_plat_dat() callback in socfpga_dwmac_ops to handle
platform-specific setup. This callback is invoked before
stmmac_dvr_probe() to ensure the platform data is correctly
configured. Also, implemented separate setup_plat_dat() callback for
current socfpga platforms and Agilex5.

The historically fixed-size struct sockaddr is part of UAPI and embedded
in many existing structures. The kernel uses struct sockaddr extensively
within the kernel to represent arbitrarily sized sockaddr structures,
which caused problems with the compiler's ability to determine object
sizes correctly. The "temporary" solution was to make sockaddr explicitly
use a flexible array, but this causes problems for embedding struct
sockaddr in structures, where once again the compiler has to guess about
the size of such objects, and causes thousands of warnings under the
coming -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning.
Switching to sockaddr_storage internally everywhere wastes a lot of memory,
so we are left with needing two changes:
- introduction of an explicitly arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct
- switch struct sockaddr back to being fixed size
Doing the latter step requires all "arbitrarily sized" uses of struct
sockaddr to be replaced with the new struct from the first step.
So, introduce the new struct and do enough conversions that we can
switch sockaddr back to a fixed-size sa_data.

This series makes so that we register the netdev once all resources are
cleanly initialised, that includes PCS and phylink creation as well as a
few other operations such as reading the IP version.
No errors were found in the wild, so this series doesn't target net, but
given that we fix some racy-ness, a point could be made to send that to
net.
This series doesn't introduce functional changes, however the internal
mii_bus for PCS configuration is renamed.
net: altera-tse: Init PCS and phylink before registering netdev
register_netdev() must be done only once all resources are ready, as
they may be used in .ndo_open() immediately upon registration.
Move the lynx PCS and phylink initialisation before registerng the
netdevice. We also remove the call to netif_carrier_off(), as phylink
takes care of that.
net: altera-tse: Don't use netdev name for the PCS mdio bus
The PCS mdio bus must be created before registering the net_device. To
do that, we musn't depend on the netdev name to create the mdio bus
name. Let's use the device's name instead.
Note that this changes the bus name in /sys/bus/mdiobus
net: altera-tse: Warn on bad revision at probe time
Instead of reading the core revision at probe time, and print a warning
for an unexecpected version at .ndo_open() time, let's print that
warning directly in .probe().
This allows getting rid of the "revision" private field, and also
prevent a potential race between reading the revision in .probe() after
netdev registration, and accessing that revision in .ndo_open().
By printing the warning after register_netdev(), we are sure that we
have a netdev name, and that we try to print the revision after having
read it from the internal registers.

mptcp: pm: in-kernel: fullmesh endp nb + bind cases
Here is a small optimisation for the in-kernel PM, joined by a small
behavioural change to avoid confusions, and followed by a few more
tests.
- Patch 1: record fullmesh endpoints numbers, not to iterate over all
endpoints to check if one is marked as fullmesh.
- Patch 2: when at least one endpoint is marked as fullmesh, only use
these endpoints when reacting to an ADD_ADDR, even if there are no
endpoints for this IP family: this is less confusing.
- Patch 3: reduce duplicated code to prepare the next patch.
- Patch 4: extra "bind" cases: the listen socket restrict the bind to
one IP address, not allowing MP_JOIN to extra IP addresses, except if
another listening socket accepts them.
====================
By design, an MPTCP connection will not accept extra subflows where no
MPTCP listening sockets can accept such requests.
In other words, it means that if the 'server' listens on a specific
address / device, it cannot accept MP_JOIN sent to a different address /
device. Except if there is another MPTCP listening socket accepting
them.
This is what the new tests are validating:
- Forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, and checking that MP_JOIN
to announced addresses are not accepted.
- Also forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, but before, another
listening socket is created to accept additional subflows. Note that
'mptcpize run nc -l' -- or something else only doing: socket(MPTCP),
bind(<IP>), listen(0) -- would be enough, but here mptcp_connect is
reused not to depend on another tool just for that.
- Same as the previous one, but using v6 link-local addresses: this is
a bit particular because it is required to specify the outgoing
network interface when connecting to a link-local address announced
by the other peer. When using the routing rules, this doesn't work
(the outgoing interface is not known) ; but it does work with a
'laminar' endpoint having a specified interface.
Note that extra small modifications are needed for these tests to work:
- mptcp_connect's check_getpeername_connect() check should strip the
specified interface when comparing addresses.
- With IPv6 link-local addresses, it is required to wait for them to
be ready (no longer in 'tentative' mode) before using them, otherwise
the bind() will not be allowed.
mptcp: pm: in kernel: only use fullmesh endp if any
Our documentation is saying that the in-kernel PM is only using fullmesh
endpoints to establish subflows to announced addresses when at least one
endpoint has a fullmesh flag. But this was not totally correct: only
fullmesh endpoints were used if at least one endpoint *from the same
address family as the received ADD_ADDR* has the fullmesh flag.
This is confusing, and it seems clearer not to have differences
depending on the address family.
So, now, when at least one MPTCP endpoint has a fullmesh flag, the local
addresses are picked from all fullmesh endpoints, which might be 0 if
there are no endpoints for the correct address family.
One selftest needs to be adapted for this behaviour change.
Instead of iterating over all endpoints, under RCU read lock, just to
check if one of them as the fullmesh flag, we can keep a counter of
fullmesh endpoint, similar to what is done with the other flags.
This counter is now checked, before iterating over all endpoints.
Similar to the other counters, this new one is also exposed. A userspace
app can then know when it is being used in a fullmesh mode, with
potentially (too) many subflows.

This series adds a callback for platform glue to configure the stmmac
core interface mode depending on the PHY interface mode that is being
used. This is currently only called just before the dwmac core is reset
since these signals are latched on reset.
Included in this series are changes to s32 to move its PHY_INTF_SEL_x
definitions out of the way of the dwmac core's signals which has more
entitlement to use this name. We convert dwmac-imx as an example.
Including other platform glue would make this series excessively large,
but once this core code is merged, the individual platform glue updates
can be posted one after another as they will be independent of each
other.
It is hoped that this callback can be used in future to reconfigure the
dwmac core when the interface mode changes to support PHYs that change
their interface mode, but we're nowhere near being able to do that yet.
====================
i.MX implementations other than IMX8DXL involve setting the dwmac core
phy_intf_sel input. Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY
interface mode to the phy_intf_sel value, validating the result, and
passing it into the implementation specific .set_intf_mode() method
rather than each .set_intf_mode() method doing this.
Convert dwmac-imx to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_xxx definitions rather than
constants via:
- ensuring that the prefix for the MASK and value definitions is the
same.
- using FIELD_PREP() to shift the PHY_INTF_SEL_xxx definition to the
appropriate bitfield.
net: stmmac: add support for configuring the phy_intf_sel inputs
When dwmac is synthesised with support for multiple PHY interfaces, the
core provides phy_intf_sel inputs, sampled on reset, to configure the
PHY facing interface. Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() in core code to
determine the dwmac phy_intf_sel input value, and provide a new
platform method called with this value just before we issue a soft
reset to the dwmac core.
Provide a function to translate the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel pin configuration for dwmac1000 and dwmac4 cores that
support multiple interfaces. We currently handle MII, GMII, RGMII,
SGMII, RMII and REVMII, but not TBI, RTBI nor SMII as drivers do not
appear to use these three and the driver doesn't currently support
these.

ethtool: introduce PHY MSE diagnostics UAPI and drivers
This series introduces a generic kernel-userspace API for retrieving PHY
Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, together with netlink integration,
a fast-path reporting hook in LINKSTATE_GET, and initial driver
implementations for the KSZ9477 and DP83TD510E PHYs.
MSE is defined by the OPEN Alliance "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification [1] as a measure of
slicer error rate, typically used internally to derive the Signal
Quality Indicator (SQI). While SQI is useful as a normalized quality
index, it hides raw measurement data, varies in scaling and thresholds
between vendors, and may not indicate certain failure modes - for
example, cases where autonegotiation would fail even though SQI reports
a good link. In practice, such scenarios can only be investigated in
fixed-link mode; here, MSE can provide an empirically estimated value
indicating conditions under which autonegotiation would not succeed.
Example output with current implementation:
root@DistroKit:~ ethtool lan1

net: phy: dp83td510: add MSE interface support for 10BASE-T1L
Implement get_mse_capability() and get_mse_snapshot() for the DP83TD510E
to expose its Mean Square Error (MSE) register via the new PHY MSE
UAPI.
The DP83TD510E does not document any peak MSE values; it only exposes
a single average MSE register used internally to derive SQI. This
implementation therefore advertises only PHY_MSE_CAP_AVG, along with
LINK and channel-A selectors. Scaling is fixed to 0xFFFF, and the
refresh interval/number of symbols are estimated from 10BASE-T1L
symbol rate (7.5 MBd) and typical diagnostic intervals (~1 ms).
For 10BASE-T1L deployments, SQI is a reliable indicator of link
modulation quality once the link is established, but it does not
indicate whether autonegotiation pulses will be correctly received
in marginal conditions. MSE provides a direct measurement of slicer
error rate that can be used to evaluate if autonegotiation is likely
to succeed under a given cable length and condition. In practice,
testing such scenarios often requires forcing a fixed-link setup to
isolate MSE behaviour from the autonegotiation process.
