net: stmmac: use per-queue 64 bit statistics where necessary Currently, there are two major issues with stmmac driver statistics First of all, statistics in stmmac_extra_stats, stmmac_rxq_stats and stmmac_txq_stats are 32 bit variables on 32 bit platforms. This can cause some stats to overflow after several minutes of high traffic, for example rx_pkt_n, tx_pkt_n and so on. Secondly, if HW supports multiqueues, there are frequent cacheline ping pongs on some driver statistic vars, for example, normal_irq_n, tx_pkt_n and so on. What's more, frequent cacheline ping pongs on normal_irq_n happens in ISR, this makes the situation worse. To improve the driver, we convert those statistics to 64 bit, implement ndo_get_stats64 and update .get_ethtool_stats implementation accordingly. We also use per-queue statistics where necessary to remove the cacheline ping pongs as much as possible to make multiqueue operations faster. Those statistics which are not possible to overflow and not frequently updated are kept as is.

TX appears to be functional on GMAC 4.10a even if this field is not set, however, to avoid relying on undefined behavior, set the length in TDES3. The field has a different meaning depending on if the TSE bit in TDES3 is set or not (TSO). However, regardless of the TSE bit, the field is not optional. The field is already set correctly when the TSE bit is set. Since there is no limit for the number of descriptors that can be used for a single packet, the field should be set to the sum of the buffers contained in: [<desc with First Descriptor bit set> ... <desc n> ... <desc with Last Descriptor bit set>], which should be equal to skb->len.

stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1 Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1" fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits set because of the following factors: [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so it will be filled with garbage. [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC controller (for example error flags etc). And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1" fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block. This change addresses both items above with: [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because this allocation only happens once on driver probe. [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields of all buffer descriptors during initialization of DMA transfer. And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent() counterpart as well.

Precision Time Protocol(PTP),which enables precise synchronization of clocks in measurement and control systems implemented with technologies such as network communication,local computing, & distributed objects. Both PTPv1 and PTPv2 is selected at run-time using the HW capability register. The PTPv1 TimeStamp support can be used on chips that have the normal descriptor structures and PTPv2 TimeStamp support can be used on chips that have the Extended descriptors(DES4-5-6-7). All such sanity checks are done and verified by using HW capability register. V2: in this version the ethtool support has been included in this patch; Koptions have been completely removed (previously added to select PTP and PTPv2). PTPv1 and PTPv2 is now added in a single patch instead of two patches. get_timestamp() and get_systemtime() L/H have been combined into single APIs.

In case of the extend descriptors cannot be supported, at runtime, the driver will continue to work using the old style. In detail, this support extends the main descriptor structure adding new descriptors: 4, 5, 6, 7. The desc4 gives us extra information about the received ethernet payload when it is carrying PTP packets or TCP/UDP/ICMP over IP packets. The descriptors 6 and 7 are used for saving HW L/H timestamps (PTP).

stmmac: update normal descriptor structure (v2) This patch updates the normal descriptor structure to work fine on new GMAC Synopsys chips. Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100 databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload. The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new fields that actually new GMAC devices can use. For example, STx7109 (MAC10/100) will pass from the platform tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0. A platform like Loongson1B (GMAC) will pass: tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1.

stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4) This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of descriptor. STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING) and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point to only one data buffer pointer. In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself, whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode. First version of this work has been done by Rayagond. Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code. A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for managing enhanced and normal descriptors. In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage. Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

stmmac: allow mtu bigger than 1500 in case of normal desc (V4) This patch allows to set the mtu bigger than 1500 in case of normal descriptors. This is helping some SPEAr customers.
