[ Upstream commit d3ca2ef0c915d219e0d958e0bdcc4be6c02c210b ]

Originally ptp_ocp driver was not strictly checking flags for external
timestamper and was always activating rising edge timestamping as it's
the only supported mode. Recent changes to ptp made it incompatible with
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl. Adjust ptp_clock_info to provide supported
mode and be compatible with new infra.

While at here remove explicit check of periodic output flags from the
driver and provide supported flags for ptp core to check.

[ Upstream commit 5a8c02a6bf52b1cf9cfb7868a8330f7c3c6aebe9 ]

Networking drivers implementing PTP clocks and kernel socket code
handling hardware timestamps use the 64-bit signed ktime_t type counting
nanoseconds. When a PTP clock reaches the maximum value in year 2262,
the timestamps returned to applications will overflow into year 1667.
The same thing happens when injecting a large offset with
clock_adjtime(ADJ_SETOFFSET).

The commit 7a8e61f84786 ("timekeeping: Force upper bound for setting
CLOCK_REALTIME") limited the maximum accepted value setting the system
clock to 30 years before the maximum representable value (i.e. year
2232) to avoid the overflow, assuming the system will not run for more
than 30 years.

Enforce the same limit for PTP clocks. Don't allow negative values and
values closer than 30 years to the maximum value. Drivers may implement
an even lower limit if the hardware registers cannot represent the whole
interval between years 1970 and 2262 in the required resolution.

[ Upstream commit a767957e7a83f9e742be196aa52a48de8ac5a7e4 ]

In ptp_ocp_sma_fb_init(), the code mistakenly used bp-&gt;sma[1]
instead of bp-&gt;sma[i] inside a for-loop, which caused only SMA[1]
to have its DIRECTION_CAN_CHANGE capability cleared. This led to
inconsistent capability flags across SMA pins.

<content type='text'>
The ptp_ocp_detach() only shuts down the watchdog timer if it is
pending. However, if the timer handler is already running, the
timer_delete_sync() is not called. This leads to race conditions
where the devlink that contains the ptp_ocp is deallocated while
the timer handler is still accessing it, resulting in use-after-free
bugs. The following details one of the race scenarios.

(thread 1)                           | (thread 2)
ptp_ocp_remove()                     |
  ptp_ocp_detach()                   | ptp_ocp_watchdog()
    if (timer_pending(&amp;bp-&gt;watchdog))|   bp = timer_container_of()
      timer_delete_sync()            |
                                     |
  devlink_free(devlink) //free       |
                                     |   bp-&gt; //use

Resolve this by unconditionally calling timer_delete_sync() to ensure
the timer is reliably deactivated, preventing any access after free.

<title>ptp: prevent possible ABBA deadlock in ptp_clock_freerun()</title>

syzbot reported the following ABBA deadlock:

       CPU0                           CPU1
       ----                           ----

    lock(&amp;ptp-&gt;n_vclocks_mux) [1]

                                       ...

                                         ptp_vclock_in_use()
                                           lock(&amp;ptp-&gt;n_vclocks_mux) [3]
                                              (physical clock)
    ptp_clock_unregister()
      posix_clock_unregister()
        lock(&amp;clk-&gt;rwsem) [4]
          (virtual clock)

Since ptp virtual clock is registered only under ptp physical clock, both
ptp_clock and posix_clock must be physical clocks for ptp_vclock_in_use()
to lock &amp;ptp-&gt;n_vclocks_mux and check ptp-&gt;n_vclocks.

However, when unregistering vclocks in n_vclocks_store(), the locking
ptp-&gt;n_vclocks_mux is a physical clock lock, but clk-&gt;rwsem of
ptp_clock_unregister() called through device_for_each_child_reverse()
is a virtual clock lock.

Therefore, clk-&gt;rwsem used in CPU0 and clk-&gt;rwsem used in CPU1 are
different locks, but in lockdep, a false positive occurs because the
possibility of deadlock is determined through lock-class.

To solve this, lock subclass annotation must be added to the posix_clock
rwsem of the vclock.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A treewide cleanup of struct cycle_counter const annotations.

  The initial idea of making them const was correct as they were
  seperate instances. When they got embedded into larger data
  structures, which are even modified by the callback this got moot. The
  only reason why this went unnoticed is that the required
  container_of() casts the const attribute forcefully away.

  Stop pretending that it is const"

<title>ptp: Enable auxiliary clocks for PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED</title>

<id>urn:sha1:17c395bba1a3983b1b1918286979bae5f6851f33</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow ioctl(PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED*) to select CLOCK_AUX clock ids for
generating the pre and post hardware readout timestamps.

Aside of adding these clocks to the clock ID validation, this also requires
to check the timestamp to be valid, i.e. the seconds value being greater
than or equal zero. This is necessary because AUX clocks can be
asynchronously enabled or disabled, so there is no way to validate the
availability upfront.

The same could have been achieved by handing the return value of
ktime_get_aux_ts64() all the way down to the IOCTL call site, but that'd
require to modify all existing ptp::gettimex64() callbacks and their inner
call chains. The timestamp check achieves the same with less churn and less
complicated code all over the place.

<id>urn:sha1:e78f70bad29c5ae1e1076698b690b15794e9b81e</id>
<content type='text'>
In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct
timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer.

Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const
pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by
the callback function when accessed.  This lie had been hidden by the fact
that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any
compiler warning happening at all.

Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so
that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can,
and is, modified by the users of it.
