    net: allow simultaneous SW and HW transmit timestamping · b50a5c70
    Miroslav Lichvar authored
    Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to
    be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even
    when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the
    driver.
    
    Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from
    the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a
    hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb
    info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp
    is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the
    SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software
    timestamp or it is an incoming packet.
    
    While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as
    there are no other users.
