Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
   callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
   Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.

   It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
   experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see

     https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org

   Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
   context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
   context:

     https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35

   In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
   the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
   the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
   in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
   consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.

 - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.

 - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
   suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
   the suspend.

 - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
   legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.

 - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
   prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
   ownership in the middle of a record

 - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB

 - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
   possible

 - Misc code clean up

<title>net: dsa: sja1105: fix SGMII linking at 10M or 100M but not passing traffic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:da62abaaa268357b1aa66b372ace562189a05df1</id>
<content type='text'>
When using the SGMII PCS as a fixed-link chip-to-chip connection, it is
easy to miss the fact that traffic passes only at 1G, since that's what
any normal such connection would use.

When using the SGMII PCS connected towards an on-board PHY or an SFP
module, it is immediately noticeable that when the link resolves to a
speed other than 1G, traffic from the MAC fails to pass: TX counters
increase, but nothing gets decoded by the other end, and no local RX
counters increase either.

Artificially lowering a fixed-link rate to speed = &lt;100&gt; makes us able
to see the same issue as in the case of having an SGMII PHY.

Some debugging shows that the XPCS configuration is A-OK, but that the
MAC Configuration Table entry for the port has the SPEED bits still set
to 1000Mbps, due to a special condition in the driver. Deleting that
condition, and letting the resolved link speed be programmed directly
into the MAC speed field, results in a functional link at all 3 speeds.

This piece of evidence, based on testing on both generations with SGMII
support (SJA1105S and SJA1110A) directly contradicts the statement from
the blamed commit that "the MAC is fixed at 1 Gbps and we need to
configure the PCS only (if even that)". Worse, that statement is not
backed by any documentation, and no one from NXP knows what it might
refer to.

I am unable to recall sufficient context regarding my testing from March
2020 to understand what led me to draw such a braindead and factually
incorrect conclusion. Yet, there is nothing of value regarding forcing
the MAC speed, either for SGMII or 2500Base-X (introduced at a later
stage), so remove all such logic.

It has been reported that when under a bridge with stp_state=1, the logs
get spammed with this message:

[  251.734607] fsl_dpaa2_eth dpni.5 eth0: Couldn't decode source port

Further debugging shows the following info associated with packets:
source_port=-1, switch_id=-1, vid=-1, vbid=1

In other words, they are data plane packets which are supposed to be
decoded by dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid(), but the latter (correctly)
refuses to do so, because no switch port is currently in
BR_STATE_LEARNING or BR_STATE_FORWARDING - so the packet is effectively
unexpected.

The error goes away after the port progresses to BR_STATE_LEARNING in 15
seconds (the default forward_time of the bridge), because then,
dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid() can correctly associate the data plane
packets with a plausible bridge port in a plausible STP state.

Re-reading IEEE 802.1D-1990, I see the following:

"4.4.2 Learning: (...) The Forwarding Process shall discard received
frames."

IEEE 802.1D-2004 further clarifies:

"DISABLED, BLOCKING, LISTENING, and BROKEN all correspond to the
DISCARDING port state. While those dot1dStpPortStates serve to
distinguish reasons for discarding frames, the operation of the
Forwarding and Learning processes is the same for all of them. (...)
LISTENING represents a port that the spanning tree algorithm has
selected to be part of the active topology (computing a Root Port or
Designated Port role) but is temporarily discarding frames to guard
against loops or incorrect learning."

Well, this is not what the driver does - instead it sets
mac[port].ingress = true.

To get rid of the log spam, prevent unexpected data plane packets to
be received by software by discarding them on ingress in the LISTENING
state.

In terms of blame attribution: the prints only date back to commit
d7f9787a763f ("net: dsa: tag_8021q: add support for imprecise RX based
on the VBID"). However, the settings would permit a LISTENING port to
forward to a FORWARDING port, and the standard suggests that's not OK.

<title>net: dsa: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()</title>

<content type='text'>
New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add
NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is
time to convert DSA to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can
be removed completely.

Move the ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_hwtstamp_get() and ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_hwtstamp_set()
calls from dsa_user_ioctl() to dsa_user_hwtstamp_get() and
dsa_user_hwtstamp_set().

Due to the fact that the underlying ifreq type changes to
kernel_hwtstamp_config, the drivers and the Ocelot switchdev front-end,
all hooked up directly or indirectly, must also be converted all at once.

The conversion also updates the comment from dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp(),
which is no longer true because kernel_hwtstamp_config is kernel memory
and does not need copy_to_user(). I've deliberated whether it is
necessary to also update "err != -EOPNOTSUPP" to a more general "!err",
but all drivers now either return 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP.

The existing logic from the ocelot_ioctl() function, to avoid
configuring timestamping if the PHY supports the operation, is obsoleted
by more advanced core logic in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib().

This is only a partial preparation for proper PHY timestamping support.
None of these switch driver currently sets up PTP traps for PHY
timestamping, so setting dev-&gt;see_all_hwtstamp_requests is not yet
necessary and the conversion is relatively trivial.

<title>net: ptp: introduce .supported_perout_flags to ptp_clock_info</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d9f3e9ecc4562ae07aaf614cf0a6690ef7ca0e10'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d9f3e9ecc4562ae07aaf614cf0a6690ef7ca0e10</id>
<content type='text'>
The PTP_PEROUT_REQUEST2 ioctl has gained support for flags specifying
specific output behavior including PTP_PEROUT_ONE_SHOT,
PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE, PTP_PEROUT_PHASE.

Driver authors are notorious for not checking the flags of the request.
This results in misinterpreting the request, generating an output signal
that does not match the requested value. It is anticipated that even more
flags will be added in the future, resulting in even more broken requests.

Expecting these issues to be caught during review or playing whack-a-mole
after the fact is not a great solution.

Instead, introduce the supported_perout_flags field in the ptp_clock_info
structure. Update the core character device logic to explicitly reject any
request which has a flag not on this list.

This ensures that drivers must 'opt in' to the flags they support. Drivers
which don't set the .supported_perout_flags field will not need to check
that unsupported flags aren't passed, as the core takes care of this.

Update the drivers which do support flags to set this new field.

Note the following driver files set n_per_out to a non-zero value but did
not check the flags at all:

 • drivers/ptp/ptp_clockmatrix.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_idt82p33.c

<title>net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to ptp_clock_info</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=7c571ac57d9d97190dcba18212fabf99888b0c48'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7c571ac57d9d97190dcba18212fabf99888b0c48</id>
<content type='text'>
The PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST(2) ioctl has a flags field which specifies how the
external timestamp request should behave. This includes which edge of the
signal to timestamp, as well as a specialized "offset" mode. It is expected
that more flags will be added in the future.

Driver authors routinely do not check the flags, often accepting requests
with flags which they do not support. Even drivers which do check flags may
not be future-proofed to reject flags not yet defined. Thus, any future
flag additions often require manually updating drivers to reject these
flags.

This approach of hoping we catch flag checks during review, or playing
whack-a-mole after the fact is the wrong approach.

Introduce the "supported_extts_flags" field to the ptp_clock_info
structure. This field defines the set of flags the device actually
supports.

Update the core character device logic to check this field and reject
unsupported requests. Getting this right is somewhat tricky. First, to
avoid unnecessary repetition and make basic functionality work when
.supported_extts_flags is 0, the core always accepts the PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE
flag. This flag is used to set the 'on' parameter to the .enable function
and is thus always 'supported' by all drivers.

For backwards compatibility, the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags
are merely "hints" when using the old PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl, and are not
expected to be enforced. If the user issues PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2, the
PTP_STRICT_FLAGS flag is added which is supposed to inform the driver to
strictly validate the flags and reject unsupported requests. To handle
this, first check if the driver reports PTP_STRICT_FLAGS support. If it
does not, then always allow the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags.
This keeps backwards compatibility with the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST
ioctl where these flags are not guaranteed to be honored.

This way, drivers which do not set the supported_extts_flags will continue
to accept requests for the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl. The core will
automatically reject requests with new flags, and correctly reject requests
with PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, where the driver is supposed to strictly validate
the flags.

Update the various drivers, refactoring their validation logic into the
.supported_extts_flags field. For consistency and readability,
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE is not set in the supported flags list, and
PTP_EXTTS_EDGES is expanded to PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE in all
cases.

Note the following driver files set n_ext_ts to a non-zero value but did
not check flags at all:

 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpts.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpts.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icss_iep.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c
 • drivers/net/phy/bcm-phy-ptp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_ocp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_qoriq.c

These drivers behavior does change slightly: they will now reject the
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl, because they do not strictly validate their
flags. This also makes them no longer incorrectly accept PTP_EXT_OFFSET.

Also note that the renesas ravb driver does not support PTP_STRICT_FLAGS.
We could leave the .supported_extts_flags as 0, but I added the
PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE since the driver previously manually
validated these flags. This is equivalent to 0 because the core will allow
these flags regardless unless PTP_STRICT_FLAGS is also set.
