[bpf-next,V3,2/6] selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata track more timestamps

Commit Message

To correlate the hardware RX timestamp with something, add tracking of
two software timestamps both clock source CLOCK_TAI (see description in
man clock_gettime(2)).

XDP metadata is extended with xdp_timestamp for capturing when XDP
received the packet. Populated with BPF helper bpf_ktime_get_tai_ns(). I
could not find a BPF helper for getting CLOCK_REALTIME, which would have
been preferred. In userspace when AF_XDP sees the packet another
software timestamp is recorded via clock_gettime() also clock source
CLOCK_TAI.

Example output shortly after loading igc driver:

  poll: 1 (0)
  xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
  0x11fc958: rx_desc[7]->addr=10000000000f000 addr=f100 comp_addr=f000
  rx_hash: 0x00000000
  rx_timestamp:  1676297171760293047 (sec:1676297171.7603)
  XDP RX-time:   1676297208760355863 (sec:1676297208.7604) delta sec:37.0001
  AF_XDP time:   1676297208760416292 (sec:1676297208.7604) delta sec:0.0001 (60.429 usec)
  0x11fc958: complete idx=15 addr=f000

The first observation is that the 37 sec difference between RX HW vs XDP
timestamps, which indicate hardware is likely clock source
CLOCK_REALTIME, because (as of this writing) CLOCK_TAI is initialised
with a 37 sec offset.

The 60 usec (microsec) difference between XDP vs AF_XDP userspace is the
userspace wakeup time. On this hardware it was caused by CPU idle sleep
states, which can be reduced by tuning /dev/cpu_dma_latency.

View current requested/allowed latency bound via:
  hexdump --format '"%d\n"' /dev/cpu_dma_latency

More explanation of the output and how this can be used to identify
clock drift for the HW clock can be seen here[1]:
