Extend the XDP Tx metadata framework so that user can requests launch time
hardware offload, where the Ethernet device will schedule the packet for
transmission at a pre-determined time called launch time. The value of
launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

Expose a new per-queue nest attribute, xsk, which will be present for
queues that are being used for AF_XDP. If the queue is not being used for
AF_XDP, the nest will not be present.
In the future, this attribute can be extended to include more data about
XSK as it is needed.

Recent commit 0cfe71f45f42 ("netdev: add queue stats") added
a lot of useful stats, but only those immediately needed by virtio.
Presumably virtio does not support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE,
so statistic for that form of checksumming wasn't included.
Other drivers will definitely need it, in fact we expect it
to be needed in net-next soon (mlx5). So let's add the definition
of the counter for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE to uAPI in net already,
so that the counters are in a more natural order (all subsequent
counters have not been present in any released kernel, yet).

The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol
related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under
ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink
API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new
drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to
driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report
only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats
involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is
read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user
space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel
how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime
kernel will overflow user buffer.
Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is
exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there.
Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful
when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than
just bytes and packets.
The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats.
The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not
matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).

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.

Add new xdp-rx-metadata-features member to netdev netlink
which exports a bitmask of supported kfuncs. Most of the patch
is autogenerated (headers), the only relevant part is netdev.yaml
and the changes in netdev-genl.c to marshal into netlink.
Example output on veth:
$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 # ifndex == 12
$ ./tools/net/ynl/samples/netdev 12
Select ifc ($ifindex; or 0 = dump; or -2 ntf check): 12
veth1[12] xdp-features (23): basic redirect rx-sg xdp-rx-metadata-features (3): timestamp hash xdp-zc-max-segs=0

Introduce new netlink attribute NETDEV_A_DEV_XDP_ZC_MAX_SEGS that will
carry maximum fragments that underlying ZC driver is able to handle on
TX side. It is going to be included in netlink response only when driver
supports ZC. Any value higher than 1 implies multi-buffer ZC support on
underlying device.

I relicensed Netlink spec code to GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause but
we still put a slightly different license on the uAPI header
than the rest of the code. Use the Linux-syscall-note on all
the specs and all generated code. It's moot for kernel code,
but should not hurt. This way the licenses match everywhere.
