net: introduce u64_stats_t
KCSAN found a data-race in per-cpu u64 stats accounting.

In order to fix the data-race found by KCSAN, we
can use the new u64_stats_t type and its accessors instead
of plain u64 fields. This will still generate optimal code

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides
no help against load/store tearing.
Using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() would be needed.
But the update side would be slightly more expensive.
local64_t was defined so that we could use regular adds
in a manner which is atomic wrt IRQs.
However the u64_stats infra means we do not have to use
local64_t on 32bit arches since the syncp provides the needed

mlxsw: Add layer 3 devlink-trap support
This patch set from Amit adds support in mlxsw for layer 3 traps that
can report drops and exceptions via devlink-trap.
In a similar fashion to the existing layer 2 traps, these traps can send
packets to the CPU that were not routed as intended by the underlying
device.
The traps are divided between the two types detailed in devlink-trap
documentation: drops and exceptions. Unlike drops, packets received via
exception traps are also injected to the kernel's receive path, as they
are required for the correct functioning of the control plane. For
example, packets trapped due to TTL error must be injected to kernel's
receive path for traceroute to work properly.
Patch set overview:
Patch #1 adds the layer 3 drop traps to devlink along with their
documentation.
Patch #2 adds support for layer 3 drop traps in mlxsw.
Patches #3-#5 add selftests for layer 3 drop traps.
Patch #6 adds the layer 3 exception traps to devlink along with their
documentation.
Patches #7-#9 gradually add support for layer 3 exception traps in
mlxsw.
Patches #10-#12 add selftests for layer 3 exception traps.

Currently, mlxsw does not differentiate between these two cases of
routes with invalid nexthops:
1. Nexthops whose nexthop device is a mlxsw upper (has a RIF), but whose
neighbour could not be resolved
2. Nexthops whose nexthop device is not a mlxsw upper (e.g., management
interface)
Up until now this did not matter and mlxsw trapped packets for both
cases using the same trap ID. However, packets that should have been
routed in hardware (case 1), but incurred a problem are considered
exceptions and should be reported to the user. The two cases should
therefore be split between two different trap IDs.
Allocate a new adjacency entry during initialization and upon the
insertion of the first route with an invalid mlxsw nexthop, program this
entry to discard packets. Packets hitting this entry will be reported
using new trap ID - "DISCARD_ROUTER3".
In the future, the entry could be written during initialization, but
currently firmware requires a valid RIF, which is not available at this
stage.

Currently, packets that cannot be routed in hardware (e.g., nexthop
device is not upper of mlxsw), are trapped to the kernel for forwarding.
Such packets are trapped using "RTR_INGRESS0" trap. This trap also traps
packets that hit reject routes (e.g., "unreachable") so that the kernel
will generate the appropriate ICMP error message for them.
Subsequent patch will need to only report to devlink packets that hit a
reject route, which is impossible as long as "RTR_INGRESS0" is
overloaded like that.
Solve this by using "RTR_INGRESS1" trap for packets that hit reject
routes.

cxgb4: add support for TC-MQPRIO Qdisc Offload
This series of patches add support for offloading TC-MQPRIO Qdisc
to Chelsio T5/T6 NICs. Offloading QoS traffic shaping and pacing
requires using Ethernet Offload (ETHOFLD) resources available on
Chelsio NICs. The ETHOFLD resources are configured by firmware
and taken from the resource pool shared with other Chelsio Upper
Layer Drivers. Traffic flowing through ETHOFLD region requires a
software netdev Tx queue (EOSW_TXQ) exposed to networking stack,
and an underlying hardware Tx queue (EOHW_TXQ) used for sending
packets through hardware.
ETHOFLD region is addressed using EOTIDs, which are per-connection
resource. Hence, EOTIDs are capable of storing only a very small
number of packets in flight. To allow more connections to share
the the QoS rate limiting configuration, multiple EOTIDs must be
allocated to reduce packet drops. EOTIDs are 1-to-1 mapped with
software EOSW_TXQ. Several software EOSW_TXQs can post packets to
a single hardware EOHW_TXQ.
The series is broken down as follows:
Patch 1 queries firmware for maximum available traffic classes,
as well as, start and maximum available indices (EOTID) into ETHOFLD
region, supported by the underlying device.
Patch 2 reworks queue configuration and simplifies MSI-X allocation
logic in preparation for ETHOFLD queues support.
Patch 3 adds skeleton for validating and configuring TC-MQPRIO Qdisc
offload. Also, adds support for software EOSW_TXQs and exposes them
to network stack. Updates Tx queue selection to use fallback NIC Tx
path for unsupported traffic that can't go through ETHOFLD queues.
Patch 4 adds support for managing hardware queues to rate limit
traffic flowing through them. The queues are allocated/removed based
on enabling/disabling TC-MQPRIO Qdisc offload, respectively.
Patch 5 adds Tx path for traffic flowing through software EOSW_TXQ
and EOHW_TXQ. Also, adds Rx path to handle Tx completions.
Patch 6 updates exisiting SCHED API to configure FLOWC based QoS
offload. In the existing QUEUE based rate limiting, multiple queues
sharing a traffic class get the aggreagated max rate limit value.
On the other hand, in FLOWC based rate limiting, multiple queues
sharing a traffic class get their own individual max rate limit
value. For example, if 2 queues are bound to class 0, which is rate
limited to 1 Gbps, then in QUEUE based rate limiting, both the
queues get the aggregate max output of 1 Gbps only. In FLOWC based
rate limiting, each queue gets its own output of max 1 Gbps each;
i.e. 2 queues * 1 Gbps rate limit = 2 Gbps max output.
