Both TX and RX hardware time stamping are implemented. Due to
hardware limitations it is not possible to verify reliably which
packet was time stamped when multiple were pending for sending; this
could be solved by only allowing one packet marked for hardware time
stamping into the queue (not implemented yet).
RX time stamping relies on the flag in the packet descriptor which
marks packets that were time stamped. In "all packet" mode this flag
is not set. TODO: also support that mode (even though it'll suffer
from race conditions).

The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1
byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info
struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that
information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp.
union is used for the additional information so that it can be
stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info.
Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field
depending on the context, optional additional structures) this
is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself.
TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver
doesn't support hardware time stamping.
The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around
ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing
network device drivers which don't support hardware time
stamping and know nothing about it:
- they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified
- the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk
alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan()
Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe.
The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software
TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not
with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series
was tested with).

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like
ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code
in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time
stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time.
The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on
a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code
elsewhere.
The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name
"assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper:

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.
The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)
As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounter
The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX
session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under
the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the
TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled
before the sta_info is freed.
Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case,
and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in
the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something
is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it
in some other way we will no longer talk to it.
