mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Add Bloom filter support
Nir says:
Spectrum-2 uses Bloom filter to reduce the number of lookups in the
algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM). HW performs multiple exact match lookups in a
given region using a key composed of { packet & mask, mask ID, region ID }.
The masks which are used in a region are called rule patterns or RP.
When such multiple masks are used, the A-TCAM region uses an eRP
(extended RP) table that describes which rule patterns are in use and
defines the order of the lookup. When eRP table is used in a region, one
way to reduce the number of the lookups is to consult a Bloom filter
before doing the lookup.
A Bloom filter is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure, on
which a query returns either "possibly in set" or "definitely not in
set". HW can skip a lookup if a query on the Bloom filter results a
"definitely not set" response. The mlxsw driver implements a "counting
filter" and when either a new entry is marked or the last entry is
removed it will update the HW. Update of this counting filter occurs
when rule is configured or deleted from a region.
Patch #1 adds PEABFE register which is used for setting Bloom filter
entries.
Patch #2 adds Bloom filter resources.
Patch #3 and patch #4 provide Bloom filter handling within mlxsw, by
adding initialization and logic for updating the Bloom bit vector in HW.
Patch #5 and patch #6 add required calls for Bloom filter update as part
of rule configuration flow.
Patch #7 handles transitions to and from eRP table. It uses a list to
keep A-TCAM rules in order to update rules in Bloom filter, in cases of
transitions from master mask based A-TCAM region to an eRP table based
region and vice versa.
Patch #8 removes a trick done on master RP index to a remaining RP,
since Bloom filter is updated on eRP transitions.
Finally, patch #9 activates Bloom filter mechanism in HW, by cancelling
the bypass that was configured before and the remaining three patches
are selftests that exercise the new code.

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.
