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.

2.34.1
The '-f' parameter is there to force the kernel to emit MPTCP FASTCLOSE
by closing the connection with unread bytes in the receive queue.
The xdisconnect() helper was used to stop the connection, but it does
more than that: it will shut it down, then wait before reconnecting to
the same address. This causes the mptcp_join's "fastclose test" to fail
all the time.
This failure is due to a recent change, with commit 218cc166321f
("selftests: mptcp: avoid spurious errors on disconnect"), but that went
unnoticed because the test is currently ignored. The recent modification
only shown an existing issue: xdisconnect() doesn't need to be used
here, only the shutdown() part is needed.
Fixes: 6bf41020b72b ("selftests: mptcp: update and extend fastclose test-cases")

Notes:
- The failure was not clearly visible on NIPA, because the results for
the two impacted sub-tests are currently ignored (unstable). Still,
it looks important to fix that, as this will help when the tests will
be improved not to be unstable any more.

2.43.0
6.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers(a)efficios.com>
commit 336d02bc4c6bec5c3d933e5d470a94970f830957 upstream.
When porting librseq commit:
commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")
from librseq to the kernel selftests, the following line was missed
at the end of rseq_init():
rseq_size = get_rseq_kernel_feature_size();
which effectively leaves rseq_size initialized to -1U when glibc does not
have rseq support. glibc supports rseq from version 2.35 onwards.
In a following librseq commit
commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")
to mimic the libc behavior, a new approach is taken: don't set the
feature size in 'rseq_size' until at least one thread has successfully
registered. This allows using 'rseq_size' in fast-paths to test for both
registration status and available features. The caveat is that on libc
either all threads are registered or none are, while with bare librseq
it is the responsability of the user to register all threads using rseq.
This combines the changes from the following librseq git commits:
commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")
commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")
