qed*: Doorbell overflow recovery

Doorbell Overflow
If sufficient CPU cores will send doorbells at a sufficiently high rate, they
can cause an overflow in the doorbell queue block message fifo. When fill level
reaches maximum, the device stops accepting all doorbells from that PF until a
recovery procedure has taken place.

Doorbell Overflow Recovery
The recovery procedure basically means resending the last doorbell for every
doorbelling entity. A doorbelling entity is anything which may send doorbells:
L2 tx ring, rdma sq/rq/cq, light l2, vf l2 tx ring, spq, etc. This relies on
the design assumption that all doorbells are aggregative, so last doorbell
carries the information of all previous doorbells.

APIs
All doorbelling entities need to register with the mechanism before sending
doorbells. The registration entails providing the doorbell address the entity
would be using, and a virtual address where last doorbell data can be found.
Typically fastpath structures already have this construct.

Executing the recovery procedure
Handling the attentions, iterating over all the registered entities and
resending their doorbells, is all handled within qed core module.

Relevance
All doorbelling entities in all protocols need to register with the mechanism,
via the new APIs. Technically this is quite simple (just call the API). Some
protocol fastpath implementation may not have the doorbell data stored anywhere
(compute it from scratch every time) and will have to add such a place.
This is rare and is also better practice (save some cycles on the fastpath).

Performance Penalty
No performance penalty should incur as a result of this feature. If anything
performance can improve by avoiding recalcualtion of doorbell data everytime
doorbell is sent (in some flows).

Add the database used to register doorbelling entities, and APIs for adding
and deleting entries, and logic for traversing the database and doorbelling
once on behalf of all entities.

In case of an attention from the doorbell queue block, analyze the HW

Since there can be spurious indications (race conditions between multiple PFs),
schedule a periodic task for checking whether a doorbell overflow may have been
missed. After a set time with no indications, terminate the periodic task.

rtnetlink: avoid a warning in rtnl_newlink()

I've been hoping for some time that someone more competent would fix
the stack frame size warning in rtnl_newlink(), but looks like I'll
have to take a stab at it myself :)  That's the only warning I see
in most of my builds.

First patch refactors away a somewhat surprising if (1) code block.
Reindentation will most likely cause cherry-pick problems but OTOH
rtnl_newlink() doesn't seem to be changed often, so perhaps we can
risk it in the name of cleaner code?

Second patch fixes the warning in simplest possible way.  I was
pondering if there is any more clever solution, but I can't see it..
rtnl_newlink() is quite long with a lot of possible execution paths
so doing memory allocations half way through leads to very ugly
results.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Standard kernel compilation produces the following warning:

net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function ‘rtnl_newlink’:
net/core/rtnetlink.c:3232:1: warning: the frame size of 1288 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
 }
  ^

This should not really be an issue, as rtnl_newlink() stack is
generally quite shallow.

Fix the warning by allocating attributes with kmalloc() in a wrapper
and passing it down to rtnl_newlink(), avoiding complexities on error
paths.

Alternatively we could kmalloc() some structure within rtnl_newlink(),
slave attributes look like a good candidate.  In practice it adds to
already rather high complexity and length of the function.

rtnl_newlink() used to create VLAs based on link kind.  Since
commit ccf8dbcd ("rtnetlink: Remove VLA usage") statically
sized array is created on the stack, so there is no more use
for a separate code block that used to be the VLA's live range.

While at it christmas tree the variables.  Note that there is
a goto-based retry so to be on the safe side the variables can
no longer be initialized in place.  It doesn't seem to matter,
logically, but why make the code harder to read..

tcp: take a bit more care of backlog stress

While working on the SACK compression issue Jean-Louis Dupond
reported, we found that his linux box was suffering very hard
from tail drops on the socket backlog queue.

First patch hints the compiler about sack flows being the norm.

Second patch changes non-sack code in preparation of the ack
compression.

Third patch fixes tcp_space() to take backlog into account.

Fourth patch is attempting coalescing when a new packet must
be added to the backlog queue. Cooking bigger skbs helps
to keep backlog list smaller and speeds its handling when
user thread finally releases the socket lock.

v3: Neal/Yuchung feedback addressed :
     Do not aggregate if any skb has URG bit set.
     Do not aggregate if the skbs have different ECE/CWR bits

v2: added feedback from Neal : tcp: take care of compressed acks in tcp_add_reno_sack()

In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled,
we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while
softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop.

This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq,
to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work
before new packets are added the the backlog.

This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO
does not aggregate them.

This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver
without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on
1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.

Jean-Louis Dupond reported poor iscsi TCP receive performance
that we tracked to backlog drops.

Apparently we fail to send window updates reflecting the
fact that we are under stress.

Note that we might lack a proper window increase when
backlog is fully processed, since __release_sock() clears
sk->sk_backlog.len _after_ all skbs have been processed.

This should not matter in practice. If we had a significant
load through socket backlog, we are in a dangerous
situation.

Trace events are already present for the receive entry points, to indicate
how the reception entered the stack.

This patch adds the corresponding exit trace events that will bound the
reception such that all events occurring between the entry and the exit
can be considered as part of the reception context. This greatly helps
for dependency and root cause analyses.

Without this, it is not possible with tracepoint instrumentation to
determine whether a sched_wakeup event following a netif_receive_skb
event is the result of the packet reception or a simple coincidence after
further processing by the thread. It is possible using other mechanisms
like kretprobes, but considering the "entry" points are already present,
it would be good to add the matching exit events.

In addition to linking packets with wakeups, the entry/exit event pair
can also be used to perform network stack latency analyses.
