In order to not transmit (preemptible) frames which will be received by
the link partner as corrupted (because it doesn't support FP), the
hardware requires the driver to program the QSYS_PREEMPTION_CFG_P_QUEUES
register only after the MAC Merge layer becomes active (verification
succeeds, or was disabled).

There are some cases when FP is known (through experimentation) to be
broken. Give priority to FP over cut-through switching, and disable FP
for known broken link modes.

ocelot_mm_update_port_status() updates mm->verify_status, but when the
verification state of a port changes, an IRQ isn't emitted, but rather,
only when the verification state reaches one of the final states (like
DISABLED, FAILED, SUCCEEDED) - things that would affect mm->tx_active,
which is what the IRQ *is* actually emitted for.

That is to say, user space may miss reports of an intermediary MAC Merge
verification state (like from INITIAL to VERIFYING), unless there was an
IRQ notifying the driver of the change in mm->tx_active as well.

This is not a huge deal, but for reliable reporting to user space, let's
call ocelot_mm_update_port_status() synchronously from
ocelot_port_get_mm(), which makes user space see the current MM status.

The MAC Merge IRQ of all ports is shared with the PTP TX timestamp IRQ
of all ports, which means that currently, when a PTP TX timestamp is
generated, felix_irq_handler() also polls for the MAC Merge layer status
of all ports, looking for changes. This makes the kernel do more work,
and under certain circumstances may make ptp4l require a
tx_timestamp_timeout argument higher than before.

Changes to the MAC Merge layer status are only to be expected under
certain conditions - its TX direction needs to be enabled - so we can
check early if that is the case, and omit register access otherwise.

Make ocelot_mm_update_port_status() skip register access if
mm->tx_enabled is unset, and also call it once more, outside IRQ
context, from ocelot_port_set_mm(), when mm->tx_enabled transitions from
true to false, because an IRQ is also expected in that case.

Also, a port may have its MAC Merge layer enabled but it may not have
generated the interrupt. In that case, there's no point in writing to
DEV_MM_STATUS to acknowledge that IRQ. We can reduce the number of
register writes per port with MM enabled by keeping an "ack" variable
which writes the "write-one-to-clear" bits. Those are 3 in number:
PRMPT_ACTIVE_STICKY, UNEXP_RX_PFRM_STICKY and UNEXP_TX_PFRM_STICKY.
The other fields in DEV_MM_STATUS are read-only and it doesn't matter
what is written to them, so writing zero is just fine.

Unfortunately, the workarounds for the hardware bugs make it pointless
to keep fine-grained locking for the MAC Merge state of each port.

Our vsc9959_cut_through_fwd() implementation requires
ocelot->fwd_domain_lock to be held, in order to serialize with changes
to the bridging domains and to port speed changes (which affect which
ports can be cut-through). Simultaneously, the traffic classes which can
be cut-through cannot be preemptible at the same time, and this will
depend on the MAC Merge layer state (which changes from threaded
interrupt context).

Since vsc9959_cut_through_fwd() would have to hold the mm->lock of all
ports for a correct and race-free implementation with respect to
ocelot_mm_irq(), in practice it means that any time a port's mm->lock is
held, it would potentially block holders of ocelot->fwd_domain_lock.

In the interest of simple locking rules, make all MAC Merge layer state
changes (and preemptible traffic class changes) be serialized by the
ocelot->fwd_domain_lock.

From time to time, it was observed that the nanosecond part of the
received timestamp, which is extracted from the IFH, it was actually
bigger than 1 second. So then when actually calculating the full
received timestamp, based on the nanosecond part from IFH and the second
part which is read from HW, it was actually wrong.

The issue seems to be inside the function lan966x_ifh_get, which
extracts information from an IFH(which is an byte array) and returns the
value in a u64. When extracting the timestamp value from the IFH, which
starts at bit 192 and have the size of 32 bits, then if the most
significant bit was set in the timestamp, then this bit was extended
then the return value became 0xffffffff... . And the reason of this is
because constants without any postfix are treated as signed longs and
that is the reason why '1 << 31' becomes 0xffffffff80000000.
This is fixed by adding the postfix 'ULL' to 1.

mptcp: refactor first subflow init

This series refactors the initialisation of the first subflow of a
listen socket. The first subflow allocation is no longer done at the
initialisation of the socket but later, when the connection request is
received or when requested by the userspace.

This is needed not just because Paolo likes to refactor things but
because this simplifies the code and makes the behaviour more consistent
with the rest. Also, this is a prerequisite for future patches adding
proper support of SELinux/LSM labels with MPTCP and accept(2).

In [1], Ondrej Mosnacek explained they discovered the (userspace-facing)
sockets returned by accept(2) when using MPTCP always end up with the
label representing the kernel (typically system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0),
while it would make more sense to inherit the context from the parent
socket (the one that is passed to accept(2)).

Before being able to properly support that on SELinux/LSM side, patches
2-3/5 prepare the code to simplify the patch 4/5 moving the allocation.

Patch 1/5 is a small clean-up seen while working on the series and patch
5/5 is a small improvement when closing unaccepted sockets.

SW Steering: Support pattern/args modify_header actions

The following patch series adds support for a new pattern/arguments type
of modify_header actions.

Starting with ConnectX-6 DX, we use a new design of modify_header FW object.
The current modify_header object allows for having only limited number of
these FW objects, which means that we are limited in the number of offloaded
flows that require modify_header action.

The new approach comprises of two types of objects: pattern and argument.
Pattern holds header modification templates, later used with corresponding
argument object to create complete header modification actions.
The pattern indicates which headers are modified, while the arguments
provide the specific values.
Therefore a single pattern can be used with different arguments in different
flows, enabling offloading of large number of modify_header flows.

 - Patch 1, 2: Add ICM pool for modify-header-pattern objects and implement
   patterns cache, allowing patterns reuse for different flows
 - Patch 3: Allow for chunk allocation separately for STEv0 and STEv1
 - Patch 4: Read related device capabilities
