Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl handlers to respond to requests to enable timestamping support. If the request is for enabling Rx timestamps, set a bit in the Rx descriptors to indicate that receive timestamps should be reported. Hardware captures receive timestamps in the PHY which only captures part of the timer, and reports only 40 bits into the Rx descriptor. The upper 32 bits represent the contents of GLTSYN_TIME_L at the point of packet reception, while the lower 8 bits represent the upper 8 bits of GLTSYN_TIME_0. The networking and PTP stack expect 64 bit timestamps in nanoseconds. To support this, implement some logic to extend the timestamps by using the full PHC time. If the Rx timestamp was captured prior to the PHC time, then the real timestamp is PHC - (lower_32_bits(PHC) - timestamp) If the Rx timestamp was captured after the PHC time, then the real timestamp is PHC + (timestamp - lower_32_bits(PHC)) These calculations are correct as long as neither the PHC timestamp nor the Rx timestamps are more than 2^32-1 nanseconds old. Further, we can detect when the Rx timestamp is before or after the PHC as long as the PHC timestamp is no more than 2^31-1 nanoseconds old. In that case, we calculate the delta between the lower 32 bits of the PHC and the Rx timestamp. If it's larger than 2^31-1 then the Rx timestamp must have been captured in the past. If it's smaller, then the Rx timestamp must have been captured after PHC time. Add an ice_ptp_extend_32b_ts function that relies on a cached copy of the PHC time and implements this algorithm to calculate the proper upper 32bits of the Rx timestamps. Cache the PHC time periodically in all of the Rx rings. This enables each Rx ring to simply call the extension function with a recent copy of the PHC time. By ensuring that the PHC time is kept up to date periodically, we ensure this algorithm doesn't use stale data and produce incorrect results. To cache the time, introduce a kworker and a kwork item to periodically store the Rx time. It might seem like we should use the .do_aux_work interface of the PTP clock. This doesn't work because all PFs must cache this time, but only one PF owns the PTP clock device. Thus, the ice driver will manage its own kthread instead of relying on the PTP do_aux_work handler. With this change, the driver can now report Rx timestamps on all incoming packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
