Add icssg_stats.c to help dump, icssg related driver statistics. ICSSG has hardware registers for providing statistics like total rx bytes, total tx bytes, etc. These registers are of 32 bits and hence in case of 1G link, they overflows in around 32 seconds. The behaviour of these registers is such that they don't roll back to 0 after overflow but rather stay at UINT_MAX. These registers support a feature where the value written to them is subtracted from the register. This feature can be utilized to fix the overflowing of stats. This solution uses a Workqueues based solution where a function gets called before the registers overflow (every 25 seconds in 1G link, 25000 seconds in 100M link), this function saves the register values in local variables and writes the last read value to the register. So any update during the read will be taken care of. Signed-off-by: MD Danish Anwar <danishanwar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
