In an ideal world, every host would have exactly one PTP hardware clock, and every Ethernet MAC would support SO_TIMESTAMPING on both the transmit and receive paths. However, since we do not yet have full coverage for these features, user space programs need a way to discover what a given interface supports in these two areas. * PTP Hardware Clocks The relationship between the network interfaces and the (possibly multiple) PHC devices is not discoverable except by knowing what hardware you have got and carefully looking into the kernel log. * SO_TIMESTAMPING - Receive software time stamps are implemented in the stack and thus work for all MAC hardware. - Transmit software time stamps are only supported by a dozen drivers or so. - Some special devices support Tx/Rx time stamping in hardware. - None of this is discoverable except by looking into the kernel sources. This series exposes the hardware and driver capabilities known to user space via ethtool. Since the PHC code was first merged, this has become the number one requested new feature. Patch number 3 applies on top of my recent two igb/phc patches. Patch number 12 applies on top of my recent e100 patch. The new feature has been tested on the following hardware: igb Hardware time stamping in the MAC dp83640 Hardware time stamping in the PHY r8169 Software Tx time stamping in the MAC Thanks, Richard Richard Cochran (28): phc: Add a method for obtaining the device index. ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities. igb: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. dp83640: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. gianfar: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. bfin_mac: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. ixp4xx_eth: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. ethtool: Add a common function for drivers with transmit time stamping. ax88796: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. davinci_emac: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. dnet: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. e100: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. etherh: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. fec_mpc52xx: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. fec: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. fs_enet: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. ll_temac: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. macb: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. mv643xx_eth: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. pxa168_eth: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. r6040: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. r8169: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. smsc911x: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. smsc9420: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. stmmac: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. tg3: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. ucc_geth: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. usbnet: Support the get_ts_info ethtool method. arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/include/mach/ixp46x_ts.h | 3 + drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/8390/etherh.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/adi/bfin_mac.c | 20 ++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/dnet.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_mpc52xx.c | 1 + .../net/ethernet/freescale/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.h | 3 + drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar_ethtool.c | 29 ++++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar_ptp.c | 2 + drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/ucc_geth_ethtool.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c | 31 +++++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mv643xx_eth.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/pxa168_eth.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/rdc/r6040.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smsc911x.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smsc9420.c | 1 + .../net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_ethtool.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_emac.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/ll_temac_main.c | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ixp4xx_eth.c | 29 ++++++++++++ drivers/net/phy/dp83640.c | 31 +++++++++++++ drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c | 1 + drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c | 6 +++ drivers/ptp/ptp_ixp46x.c | 3 + include/linux/ethtool.h | 24 ++++++++++ include/linux/phy.h | 3 + include/linux/ptp_clock_kernel.h | 8 +++ net/core/ethtool.c | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++ 34 files changed, 259 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) -- 1.7.2.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
