net: ethtool: plumb PHY stats to PHY drivers

2025-01-14T10:44:19+00:00

Introduce support for standardized PHY statistics reporting in ethtool by extending the PHYLIB framework. Add the functions phy_ethtool_get_phy_stats() and phy_ethtool_get_link_ext_stats() to provide a consistent interface for retrieving PHY-level and link-specific statistics. These functions are used within the ethtool implementation to avoid direct access to the phy_device structure outside of the PHYLIB framework. A new structure, ethtool_phy_stats, is introduced to standardize PHY statistics such as packet counts, byte counts, and error counters. Drivers are updated to include callbacks for retrieving PHY and link-specific statistics, ensuring values are explicitly set only for supported fields, initialized with ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET to avoid ambiguity.

net: phy: provide phylib stubs for hardware timestamping operations

2023-08-03T02:11:06+00:00

net/core/dev_ioctl.c (built-in code) will want to call phy_mii_ioctl() for hardware timestamping purposes. This is not directly possible, because phy_mii_ioctl() is a symbol provided under CONFIG_PHYLIB. Do something similar to what was done in DSA in commit 5a17818682cf ("net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub"), and arrange some indirect calls to phy_mii_ioctl() through a stub structure containing function pointers, that's provided by phylib as built-in even when CONFIG_PHYLIB=m, and which phy_init() populates at runtime (module insertion). Note: maybe the ownership of the ethtool_phy_ops singleton is backwards, and the methods exposed by that should be later merged into phylib_stubs.
