Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 4/5] net-timestamp: TCP timestamping

TCP timestamping extends datagram MSG_TSTAMP support to bytestreams.

Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and
network packets. The feature interprets a send call with MSG_TSTAMP on
a bytestream as a request for a timestamp for the last byte in the
buffer.

The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in
the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel
transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to
construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering.
The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad.

This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces
one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies
the option into the correct smaller packet.

This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP
Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path.

The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. To avoid
having multiple timestamp requests per sk_buff, the skb is locked
against extension once the flag is set.
