xsk: Add launch time hardware offload support to XDP Tx metadata

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

launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

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.

xsk: Support tx_metadata_len

For zerocopy mode, tx_desc->addr can point to an arbitrary offset

is no way currently to populate skb metadata.

Introduce new tx_metadata_len umem config option that indicates how many
bytes to treat as metadata. Metadata bytes come prior to tx_desc address
(same as in RX case).

The size of the metadata has mostly the same constraints as XDP:
- less than 256 bytes
- 8-byte aligned (compared to 4-byte alignment on xdp, due to 8-byte
timestamp in the completion)
- non-zero

This data is not interpreted in any way right now.

xsk: introduce XSK_USE_SG bind flag for xsk socket

As of now xsk core drops any xdp_buff with data size greater than the
xsk frame_size as set by the af_xdp application. With multi-buffer
support introduced in the next patch xsk core can now split those
buffers into multiple descriptors provided the af_xdp application can
handle them. Such capability of the application needs to be independent
of the xdp_prog's frag support capability since there are cases where
even a single xdp_buffer may need to be split into multiple descriptors
owing to a smaller xsk frame size.

For e.g., with NIC rx_buffer size set to 4kB, a 3kB packet will
constitute of a single buffer and so will be sent as such to AF_XDP layer
irrespective of 'xdp.frags' capability of the XDP program. Now if the xsk
frame size is set to 2kB by the AF_XDP application, then the packet will
need to be split into 2 descriptors if AF_XDP application can handle
multi-buffer, else it needs to be dropped.

Applications can now advertise their frag handling capability to xsk core
so that xsk core can decide if it should drop or split xdp_buffs that
exceed xsk frame size. This is done using a new 'XSK_USE_SG' bind flag
for the xdp socket.

xsk: add support to allow unaligned chunk placement

Currently, addresses are chunk size aligned. This means, we are very
restricted in terms of where we can place chunk within the umem. For
example, if we have a chunk size of 2k, then our chunks can only be placed
at 0,2k,4k,6k,8k... and so on (ie. every 2k starting from 0).

This patch introduces the ability to use unaligned chunks. With these
changes, we are no longer bound to having to place chunks at a 2k (or
whatever your chunk size is) interval. Since we are no longer dealing with
aligned chunks, they can now cross page boundaries. Checks for page
contiguity have been added in order to keep track of which pages are
followed by a physically contiguous page.

xsk: add support for need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP rings

This commit adds support for a new flag called need_wakeup in the
AF_XDP Tx and fill rings. When this flag is set, it means that the
application has to explicitly wake up the kernel Rx (for the bit in
the fill ring) or kernel Tx (for bit in the Tx ring) processing by
issuing a syscall. Poll() can wake up both depending on the flags
submitted and sendto() will wake up tx processing only.

The main reason for introducing this new flag is to be able to
efficiently support the case when application and driver is executing
on the same core. Previously, the driver was just busy-spinning on the
fill ring if it ran out of buffers in the HW and there were none on
the fill ring. This approach works when the application is running on
another core as it can replenish the fill ring while the driver is
busy-spinning. Though, this is a lousy approach if both of them are
running on the same core as the probability of the fill ring getting
more entries when the driver is busy-spinning is zero. With this new
feature the driver now sets the need_wakeup flag and returns to the
application. The application can then replenish the fill queue and
then explicitly wake up the Rx processing in the kernel using the
syscall poll(). For Tx, the flag is only set to one if the driver has
no outstanding Tx completion interrupts. If it has some, the flag is
zero as it will be woken up by a completion interrupt anyway.

As a nice side effect, this new flag also improves the performance of
the case where application and driver are running on two different
cores as it reduces the number of syscalls to the kernel. The kernel
tells user space if it needs to be woken up by a syscall, and this
eliminates many of the syscalls.

This flag needs some simple driver support. If the driver does not
support this, the Rx flag is always zero and the Tx flag is always
one. This makes any application relying on this feature default to the
old behaviour of not requiring any syscalls in the Rx path and always
having to call sendto() in the Tx path.

For backwards compatibility reasons, this feature has to be explicitly
turned on using a new bind flag (XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP). I recommend
that you always turn it on as it so far always have had a positive
performance impact.

The name and inspiration of the flag has been taken from io_uring by
Jens Axboe. Details about this feature in io_uring can be found in
http://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf, section 8.3.

xsk: new descriptor addressing scheme

Currently, AF_XDP only supports a fixed frame-size memory scheme where
each frame is referenced via an index (idx). A user passes the frame
index to the kernel, and the kernel acts upon the data. Some NICs,
however, do not have a fixed frame-size model, instead they have a
model where a memory window is passed to the hardware and multiple
frames are filled into that window (referred to as the "type-writer"
model).

By changing the descriptor format from the current frame index
addressing scheme, AF_XDP can in the future be extended to support
these kinds of NICs.

In the index-based model, an idx refers to a frame of size
frame_size. Addressing a frame in the UMEM is done by offseting the
UMEM starting address by a global offset, idx * frame_size + offset.
Communicating via the fill- and completion-rings are done by means of
idx.

In this commit, the idx is removed in favor of an address (addr),
which is a relative address ranging over the UMEM. To convert an
idx-based address to the new addr is simply: addr = idx * frame_size +
offset.

We also stop referring to the UMEM "frame" as a frame. Instead it is
simply called a chunk.

To transfer ownership of a chunk to the kernel, the addr of the chunk
is passed in the fill-ring. Note, that the kernel will mask addr to
make it chunk aligned, so there is no need for userspace to do
that. E.g., for a chunk size of 2k, passing an addr of 2048, 2050 or
3000 to the fill-ring will refer to the same chunk.

On the completion-ring, the addr will match that of the Tx descriptor,
passed to the kernel.

Changing the descriptor format to use chunks/addr will allow for
future changes to move to a type-writer based model, where multiple
frames can reside in one chunk. In this model passing one single chunk
into the fill-ring, would potentially result in multiple Rx
descriptors.

This commit changes the uapi of AF_XDP sockets, and updates the
documentation.

Here, the bind syscall is added. Binding an AF_XDP socket, means

The first way, creating a "socket from scratch". Create the umem using

XDP_UMEM_FILL_QUEUE. Create the Rx queue using the XDP_RX_QUEUE
setsockopt. Call bind passing ifindex and queue index ("channel" in
ethtool speak).

The second way to bind a socket, is simply skipping the
umem/netdev/queue index, and passing another already setup AF_XDP
socket. The new socket will then have the same umem/netdev/queue index
as the parent so it will share the same umem. You must also set the
flags field in the socket address to XDP_SHARED_UMEM.
