This series expands the XDP TX metadata framework to allow user
applications to pass per packet 64-bit launch time directly to the kernel
driver, requesting launch time hardware offload support. The XDP TX
metadata framework will not perform any clock conversion or packet
reordering.
Please note that the role of Tx metadata is just to pass the launch time,
not to enable the offload feature. Users will need to enable the launch
time hardware offload feature of the device by using the respective
command, such as the tc-etf command.
Although some devices use the tc-etf command to enable their launch time
hardware offload feature, xsk packets will not go through the etf qdisc.
Therefore, in my opinion, the launch time should always be based on the PTP
Hardware Clock (PHC). Thus, i did not include a clock ID to indicate the
clock source.
To simplify the test steps, I modified the xdp_hw_metadata bpf self-test
tool in such a way that it will set the launch time based on the offset
provided by the user and the value of the Receive Hardware Timestamp, which
is against the PHC. This will eliminate the need to discipline System Clock
with the PHC and then use clock_gettime() to get the time.
Please note that AF_XDP lacks a feedback mechanism to inform the
application if the requested launch time is invalid. So, users are expected
to familiar with the horizon of the launch time of the device they use and
not request a launch time that is beyond the horizon. Otherwise, the driver
might interpret the launch time incorrectly and react wrongly. For stmmac
and igc, where modulo computation is used, a launch time larger than the
horizon will cause the device to transmit the packet earlier that the
requested launch time.
Although there is no feedback mechanism for the launch time request
for now, user still can check whether the requested launch time is
working or not, by requesting the Transmit Completion Hardware Timestamp.
Changes since v1:
- renamed to use Earliest TxTime First (Willem)
- renamed to use txtime (Willem)
Changes since v2:
- renamed to use launch time (Jesper & Willem)
- changed the default launch time in xdp_hw_metadata apps from 1s to 0.1s
because some NICs do not support such a large future time.
Changes since v3:
- added XDP launch time support to the igc driver (Jesper & Florian)
- added per-driver launch time limitation on xsk-tx-metadata.rst (Jesper)
- added explanation on FIFO behavior on xsk-tx-metadata.rst (Jakub)
- added step to enable launch time in the commit message (Jesper & Willem)
- explicitly documented the type of launch_time and which clock source
it is against (Willem)

This patch set convert iptables to nftables for wireguard testing, as
iptables is deparated and nftables is the default framework of most releases.
v3: drop iptables directly (Jason A. Donenfeld)
Also convert to using nft for qemu testing (Jason A. Donenfeld)
v2: use one nft table for testing (Phil Sutter)

2.46.0
Hi,
In /proc/PID/stat, there is the kstkesp field which is the stack pointer of
a thread. While the thread is active, this field reads zero. But during a
coredump, it should have a valid value.
However, at the moment, kstkesp is zero even during coredump.
The first commit fixes this problem, and the second commit adds a selftest
to detect if this problem appears again in the future.
v2..v3 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1735550994.git.namcao@linutronix.de/
- Move stackdump file to local directory [Kees]
- Always cleanup the stackdump file after the test [Kees]
- Remove unused empty function
v1..v2 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1730883229.git.namcao@linutronix.de/
- Change the fix patch to use PF_POSTCOREDUMP [Oleg]

2.39.5
From: Li Zhijian <lizhijian(a)fujitsu.com>
[ Upstream commit 55853cb829dc707427c3519f6b8686682a204368 ]
The pattern rule `$(OUTPUT)/%: %.c` inadvertently included a circular
dependency on the global-timer target due to its inclusion in
$(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED). This resulted in a circular dependency
warning during the build process.
To resolve this, the dependency on $(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED) has been
replaced with an explicit dependency on $(OUTPUT)/libatest.so. This change
ensures that libatest.so is built before any other targets that require it,
without creating a circular dependency.
This fix addresses the following warning:
make[4]: Entering directory 'tools/testing/selftests/alsa'
make[4]: Circular default_modconfig/kselftest/alsa/global-timer <- default_modconfig/kselftest/alsa/global-timer dependency dropped.
make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
