100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2021-12-21

This series contains updates to ice driver only.

Karol modifies the reset flow to correct issues with PTP reset.

Jake extends PTP support for E822 based devices. This includes a few
cleanup patches, that fix some minor issues. In addition, there are some
slight refactors to ease the addition of E822 support, followed by adding
the new hardware implementation ice_ptp_hw.c.

There are a few major differences with E822 support compared to E810
support:

*) The E822 device has a Clock Generation Unit which must be initialized in
order to generate proper clock frequencies on the output that drives the PTP
hardware clock registers

*) The E822 PHY is a bit different and requires a more complex
initialization procedure which must be rerun any time the link configuration
changes.

*) The E822 devices support enhanced timestamp calibration by making use of
a process called Vernier offset measurement. This allows the hardware to
measure phase offset related to the PHY clocks for Serdes and FEC, reducing
the inaccuracy of the timestamp relative to the actual packet transmission
and receipt. Making use of this requires data gathered from the first
transmitted and received packets, and waiting for the PHY to complete the
calibration measurements. This is done as part of a new kthread, ov_work.
Note that to avoid delay in enabling timestamps, we start the PHY in
'bypass' mode which allows timestamps to be captured without the Vernier
calibration measurement. Once the first packets have been sent and received,
we then complete the calibration setup and exit bypass mode and begin using
the more precise timestamps. According to the datasheet, timestamps without
calibration data can be incorrect relative to actual receipt or transmission
by up to 1 clock cycle (~1.25 nanoseconds), while calibrated timestamps
should be correct to within 1/8th of a clock cycle (~0.15 nanoseconds).

*) E822 devices support crosstimestamping via PCIe PTM, which we enable when
available on the platform.

There is a fair amount of logic required to perform PHY and CGU
initialization, which is the vast majority of the new code, but it is fairly
self contained within ice_ptp_hw.c, with the exception of monitoring for
offset validity being handled by a kthread.

* '100GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue:
  ice: support crosstimestamping on E822 devices if supported
  ice: exit bypass mode once hardware finishes timestamp calibration
  ice: ensure the hardware Clock Generation Unit is configured
  ice: implement basic E822 PTP support
  ice: convert clk_freq capability into time_ref
  ice: introduce ice_ptp_init_phc function
  ice: use 'int err' instead of 'int status' in ice_ptp_hw.c
  ice: PTP: move setting of tstamp_config
  ice: introduce ice_base_incval function
  ice: Fix E810 PTP reset flow

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
