Add an option to initialize SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID for TCP from
write_seq sockets instead of snd_una.
This should have been the behavior from the start. Because processes
may now exist that rely on the established behavior, do not change
behavior of the existing option, but add the right behavior with a new
flag. It is encouraged to always set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID_TCP on
stream sockets along with the existing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID.
Intuitively the contract is that the counter is zero after the
setsockopt, so that the next write N results in a notification for
the last byte N - 1.
On idle sockets snd_una == write_seq and this holds for both. But on
sockets with data in transmission, snd_una records the unacked offset
in the stream. This depends on the ACK response from the peer. A
process cannot learn this in a race free manner (ioctl SIOCOUTQ is one
racy approach).
write_seq records the offset at the last byte written by the process.
This is a better starting point. It matches the intuitive contract in
all circumstances, unaffected by external behavior.
The new timestamp flag necessitates increasing sk_tsflags to 32 bits.
Move the field in struct sock to avoid growing the socket (for some
common CONFIG variants). The UAPI interface so_timestamping.flags is
already int, so 32 bits wide.

Since commit
baebdf48c3 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.")
the function netif_rx() can be used in preemptible/thread context as
well as in interrupt context.
Use netif_rx().

Tiny doc fix. The hardware transmit function was called skb_tstamp_tx
from its introduction in commit ac45f602ee ("net: infrastructure for
hardware time stamping") in the same series as this documentation.
Fixes: cb9eff0978 ("net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets")

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.
Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.
This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.

The concept of timestamping DSA switches / Ethernet PHYs is becoming
more and more popular, however the Linux kernel timestamping code has
evolved quite organically and there's layers upon layers of new and old
code that need to work together for things to behave as expected.
Add this chapter to explain what the overall goals are.
Loosely based upon this email discussion plus some more info:
