This patch enables support for ingress broadcast(BC)/multicast(MC) packets rate limiting in TI AM65x CPSW driver (the corresponding ALE support was added in previous patch) by implementing HW offload for simple tc-flower with policer action with matches on dst_mac/mask: - ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff has to be used for BC packets rate limiting (exact match) - 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 fixed value has to be used for MC packets rate limiting The CPSW supports MC/BC packets rate limiting in packets/sec and affects all ingress MC/BC packets and serves as BC/MC storm prevention feature. Examples: - BC rate limit to 1000pps: tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower skip_sw dst_mac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff \ action police pkts_rate 1000 pkts_burst 1 drop - MC rate limit to 20000pps: tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower skip_sw dst_mac 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 \ action police rate pkts_rate 20000 pkts_burst 1 drop pkts_burst - not used.

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.
