607c702914 ethtool: (uapi) Add ETHTOOL_PHY_DOWNSHIFT to PHY tunables
For operation in cabling environments that are incompatible with
1000BASE-T, PHY device may provide an automatic link speed downshift
operation. When enabled, the device automatically changes its 1000BASE-T
auto-negotiation to the next slower speed after a configured number of
failed attempts at 1000BASE-T.  This feature is useful in setting up in
networks using older cable installations that include only pairs A and B,
and not pairs C and D.

85a624403c ethtool: silence warning on bit loss
Sparse was complaining when we went to prototype some code
using ethtool_cmd_speed_set and SPEED_100000, which uses
the upper 16 bits of __u32 speed for the first time.

CHECK
...
.../uapi/linux/ethtool.h:123:28: warning:
  cast truncates bits from constant value (186a0 becomes 86a0)

The warning is actually bogus, as no bits are really lost, but
we can get rid of the sparse warning with this one small change.

5711a98221 net: ethtool: add support for 1000BaseX and missing 10G link modes
This patch enhances ethtool link mode bitmap to include
missing interface modes for 1G/10G speeds

Changes:
1000baseX is the mode introduced to cover all 1G Fiber cases.
All modes under 1000BaseX i.e. 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LX10
and 1000BASE-BX10 are not explicitly defined at this moment.
10G CR,SR,LR and ER link modes are included for 10G speed..

Issue:
ethtool on  1G/10G SFP port reports Base-T
as this port supports 1000baseX,10G CR, SR and LR modes.

3f1ac7a700 net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API
This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API,
handled by the new get_link_ksettings/set_link_ksettings callbacks.
This API provides support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds
support for larger link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length),
and removes ethtool_cmd deprecated
fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt).

This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API and provides
the following backward compatibility properties:
 - legacy ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks.
 - legacy ethtool with new get/set_link_ksettings drivers: the new
   driver callbacks are used, data internally converted to legacy
   ethtool_cmd. ETHTOOL_GSET will return only the 1st 32b of each link
   mode mask. ETHTOOL_SSET will fail if user tries to set the
   ethtool_cmd deprecated fields to
   non-0 (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). A kernel warning is logged if
   driver sets higher bits.
 - future ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks, internally converted to new data
   structure. Deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt) will be
   ignored and seen as 0 from user space. Note that that "future"
   ethtool tool will not allow changes to these deprecated fields.
 - future ethtool with new drivers: direct call to the new callbacks.

By "future" ethtool, what is meant is:
 - query: first try ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, and revert to ETHTOOL_GSET if
   fails
 - set: query first and remember which of ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS or
   ETHTOOL_GSET was successful
   + if ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS was successful, then change config with
     ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS. A failure there is final (do not try
     ETHTOOL_SSET).
   + otherwise ETHTOOL_GSET was successful, change config with
     ETHTOOL_SSET. A failure there is final (do not try
     ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS).

The interaction user/kernel via the new API requires a small
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS handshake first to agree on the length of the link
mode bitmaps. If kernel doesn't agree with user, it returns the bitmap
length it is expecting from user as a negative length (and cmd field is
0). When kernel and user agree, kernel returns valid info in all
fields (ie. link mode length > 0 and cmd is ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS).

Data structure crossing user/kernel boundary is 32/64-bit
agnostic. Converted internally to a legal kernel bitmap.

The internal __ethtool_get_settings kernel helper will gradually be
replaced by __ethtool_get_link_ksettings by the time the first
"link_settings" drivers start to appear. So this patch doesn't change
it, it will be removed before it needs to be changed.

eff3cddc22 clarify implementation of ethtool's get_ts_info op
This patch adds some clarification about the intended way to implement
both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info. The HWTSTAMP API has
several Rx filters which are very specific, as well as more general
filters. The specific filters really only exist to support some broken
hardware which can't fully implement the generic filters. This patch
adds clarification that it is okay to support the specific filters in
SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic filters. In addition,
update the header for ethtool_ts_info to specify that drivers ought to
only report the filters they support without upscaling in this manner.

892311f66f ethtool: Support for configurable RSS hash function
This patch extends the set/get_rxfh ethtool-options for getting or
setting the RSS hash function.

It modifies drivers implementation of set/get_rxfh accordingly.

This change also delegates the responsibility of checking whether a
modification to a certain RX flow hash parameter is supported to the
driver implementation of set_rxfh.

User-kernel API is done through the new hfunc bitmask field in the
ethtool_rxfh struct. A bit set in the hfunc field is corresponding to an
index in the new string-set ETH_SS_RSS_HASH_FUNCS.

Got approval from most of the relevant driver maintainers that their
driver is using Toeplitz, and for the few that didn't answered, also
assumed it is Toeplitz.

6a7a1081ce ethtool: Update documentation of struct ethtool_pauseparam
Convert the inline comments to kernel-doc format.

Explicitly specify that non-zero autoneg is an error if link
autonegotiation is disabled.

Specify that pause capabilities should be advertised dependent on link
autonegotiation, not the autoneg flag here.  There is no way to
opt-out of pause frame autonegotiation, and this improves behaviour
when the link partner is configured to follow pause frame
autonegotiation and our interface is not.

daba1b6bc1 ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_drvinfo
Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics, in kernel-doc format.  Specify which
strings may be empty.  Document the relationship with other commands.

Replace the 'deprecation' of some fields with a proper explanation of
the conversion to generalised string sets, as userland programs may
not be able to assume that ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO is available.

bf8fc60a62 ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_cmd
struct ethtool_cmd has very limited documentation; it contains
several obscure or obsolete fields and several with non-obvious
interpretation.

Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full
explanation of the semantics as well as I understand them, in
kernel-doc format.  Formally deprecate some fields that seem to be of
historical use only.

Extend the comment about 32/64-bit compatibility to cover all
ethtool structures.

7ec8721142 net: ethtool: disambiguate XCVR_* meaning
Add a comment which explains the real meaning of XCVR_INTERNAL (PHY and
Ethernet MAC in the same package/die) and XCVR_EXTERNAL (PHY and
Ethernet MAC in a different package/die). Most if not all of the drivers
setting their transceiver type already do it the way the comment
describes it.
