Extend the XDP Tx metadata framework so that user can requests launch time

transmission at a pre-determined time called launch time. The value of
launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

netdev: clarify GSO vs csum in qstats

Could be just me, but I had to pause and double check that the Tx csum
counter in qstat should include GSO'd packets. GSO pretty much implies
csum so one could possibly interpret the csum counter as pure csum offload.

But the counters are based on virtio:

[tx_needs_csum]
The number of packets which require checksum calculation by the device.

[rx_needs_csum]
The number of packets with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM.

and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM gets set on GSO packets virtio sends.

Clarify this in the spec to avoid any confusion.

netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdevice

Add a netdev_dmabuf_binding struct which represents the
dma-buf-to-netdevice binding. The netlink API will bind the dma-buf to
rx queues on the netdevice. On the binding, the dma_buf_attach
& dma_buf_map_attachment will occur. The entries in the sg_table from
mapping will be inserted into a genpool to make it ready
for allocation.

The chunks in the genpool are owned by a dmabuf_chunk_owner struct which
holds the dma-buf offset of the base of the chunk and the dma_addr of
the chunk. Both are needed to use allocations that come from this chunk.

We create a new type that represents an allocation from the genpool:
net_iov. We setup the net_iov allocation size in the
genpool to PAGE_SIZE for simplicity: to match the PAGE_SIZE normally
allocated by the page pool and given to the drivers.

The user can unbind the dmabuf from the netdevice by closing the netlink
socket that established the binding. We do this so that the binding is
automatically unbound even if the userspace process crashes.

The binding and unbinding leaves an indicator in struct netdev_rx_queue
that the given queue is bound, and the binding is actuated by resetting
the rx queue using the queue API.

The netdev_dmabuf_binding struct is refcounted, and releases its
resources only when all the refs are released.

netdev: add qstat for csum complete

Recent commit 0cfe71f45f42 ("netdev: add queue stats") added
a lot of useful stats, but only those immediately needed by virtio.
Presumably virtio does not support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE,
so statistic for that form of checksumming wasn't included.
Other drivers will definitely need it, in fact we expect it
to be needed in net-next soon (mlx5). So let's add the definition
of the counter for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE to uAPI in net already,
so that the counters are in a more natural order (all subsequent
counters have not been present in any released kernel, yet).

netdev: add per-queue statistics

The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol
related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under
ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink
API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new
drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to
driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report
only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats
involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is
read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user
space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel
how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime
kernel will overflow user buffer.

Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is
exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there.
Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful
when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than
just bytes and packets.

The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats.
The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not
matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).

Add support in netlink spec(netdev.yaml) for queue information.
Add code generated from the spec.

Note: The "queue-type" attribute takes values 0 and 1 for rx
and tx queue type respectively.

xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support

This change actually defines the (initial) metadata layout
that should be used by AF_XDP userspace (xsk_tx_metadata).
The first field is flags which requests appropriate offloads,
followed by the offload-specific fields. The supported per-device
offloads are exported via netlink (new xsk-flags).

The offloads themselves are still implemented in a bit of a
framework-y fashion that's left from my initial kfunc attempt.
I'm introducing new xsk_tx_metadata_ops which drivers are
supposed to implement. The drivers are also supposed
to call xsk_tx_metadata_request/xsk_tx_metadata_complete in
the right places. Since xsk_tx_metadata_{request,_complete}
are static inline, we don't incur any extra overhead doing
indirect calls.

The benefit of this scheme is as follows:
- keeps all metadata layout parsing away from driver code
- makes it easy to grep and see which drivers implement what
- don't need any extra flags to maintain to keep track of what
offloads are implemented; if the callback is implemented - the offload
is supported (used by netlink reporting code)

Two offloads are defined right now:
1. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_CHECKSUM: skb-style csum_start+csum_offset
2. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP: writes TX timestamp back into metadata
area upon completion (tx_timestamp field)

XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is also implemented for XDP_COPY mode: it writes
SW timestamp from the skb destructor (note I'm reusing hwtstamps to pass
metadata pointer).

The struct is forward-compatible and can be extended in the future
by appending more fields.

net: page_pool: expose page pool stats via netlink

Dump the stats into netlink. More clever approaches
like dumping the stats per-CPU for each CPU individually
to see where the packets get consumed can be implemented
in the future.

A trimmed example from a real (but recently booted system):
