Tony Nguyen says: ==================== igc: Add support for physical + free-running timers Vinicius Costa Gomes says: The objective is to allow having functionality that depends on the physical timer (taprio and ETF offloads, for example) and vclocks operating together. The "big" missing piece is the implementation of the .getcyclesx64() function in igc, as i225/i226 have multiple timers, we use one of those timers (timer 1) as a free-running (non adjustable) timer. The complication is that only implementing .getcyclesx64() and nothing else will break synchronization when using vclocks, as reading the clock will retrieve the free-running value but timnestamps will come from the adjustable timer. The solution is to modify "in one go" the timestamping code to be able to retrieve the timestamp from the correct timer (if a socket is "phc_bound" to a vclock the timestamp will come from the free-running timer). I was debating whether or not to do the adjustments for the internal latencies for the free-running timestamps, decided to do the adjustments so the path delay when using vclocks is similar to the one when using the physical clock. One future improvement is to implement the .getcrosscycles() function. * '1GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue: igc: Add support for PTP .getcyclesx64() igc: Simplify setting flags in the TX data descriptor ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231114183640.1303163-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
