[v3,0/5] net: Bluetooth: add TX timestamping for ISO/L2CAP/SCO

Add support for TX timestamping in Bluetooth ISO/L2CAP/SCO sockets.

Add new COMPLETION timestamp type, to report a software timestamp when
the hardware reports a packet completed. (Cc netdev for this)

Overview
========

The packet flow in Bluetooth is the following. Timestamps added here
indicated:

user sendmsg() generates skbs
|
* skb waits in net/bluetooth queue for a free HW packet slot
|
* orphan skb, send to driver -> TSTAMP_SND
|
* driver: send packet data to transport (eg. USB)
|
* wait for transport completion
|
* driver: transport tx completion, free skb (some do this immediately)
|
* packet waits in HW side queue
|
* HCI report for packet completion -> TSTAMP_COMPLETION (for non-SCO)

In addition, we may want to do the following in future (but not
implemented in this series as we don't have ISO sequence number
synchronization yet which is needed first, moreover e.g. Intel
controllers return only zeros in timestamps):

* if packet is ISO, send HCI LE Read ISO TX Sync
|
* HCI response -> hardware TSTAMP_SND for the packet the response
  corresponds to if it was waiting for one, might not be possible
  to get a tstamp for every packet

Bluetooth does not have tx timestamps in the completion reports from
hardware, and only for ISO packets there are HCI commands in
specification for querying timestamps afterward.

The drivers do not provide ways to get timestamps either, I'm also not
aware if some devices would have vendor-specific commands to get them.

Driver-side timestamps
======================

Generating SND on driver side may be slightly more accurate, but that
requires changing the BT driver API to not orphan skbs first.  In theory
this probably won't cause problems, but it is not done in this patchset.

For some of the drivers it won't gain much. E.g. btusb immediately
submits the URB, so if one would emit SND just before submit (as
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c does), it is essentially identical to emitting
before sending to driver.  btintel_pcie looks like it does synchronous
send, so looks the same.  hci_serdev has internal queue, iiuc flushing
as fast as data can be transferred, but it shouldn't be waiting for
hardware slots due to HCI flow control.

Unless HW buffers are full, packets mostly wait on the HW side.  E.g.
with btusb (non-SCO) median time from sendmsg() to URB generation is
~0.1 ms, to USB completion ~0.5 ms, and HCI completion report at ~5 ms.

The exception is SCO, for which HCI flow control is disabled, so they do
not get completion events so it's possible to build up queues inside the
driver. For SCO, COMPLETION needs to be generated from driver side, eg.
for btusb maybe at URB completion.  This could be useful for SCO PCM
modes (but which are more or less obsolete nowadays), where USB isoc
data rate matches audio data rate, so queues on USB side may build up.

Use cases
=========

In audio use cases we want to track and avoid queues building up, to
control latency, especially in cases like ISO where the controller has a
fixed schedule that the sending application must match.  E.g.
application can aim to keep 1 packet in HW queue, so it has 2*7.5ms of
slack for being woken up too late.

Applications can use SND & COMPLETION timestamps to track in-kernel and
in-HW packet queues separately.  This can matter for ISO, where the
specification allows HW to use the timings when it gets packets to
determine what packets are synchronized together. Applications can use
SND to track that.

Changes in v3
=============

- Add new COMPLETION timestamp type, and emit it in HCI completion.

- Emit SND instead of SCHED, when sending to driver.

- Do not emit SCHED timestamps.

- Don't safeguard tx_q length explicitly. Now that hci_sched_acl_blk()
  is no more, the scheduler flow control is guaranteed to keep it
  bounded.

- Fix L2CAP stream sockets to use the bytestream timestamp conventions.
