v5 cover Symmetric OR-XOR RSS hash

Add support for a new type of input_xfrm: Symmetric OR-XOR. Symmetric OR-XOR performs hash as follows:
(SRC_IP | DST_IP, SRC_IP ^ DST_IP, SRC_PORT | DST_PORT, SRC_PORT ^ DST_PORT)

Configuration is done through ethtool -x/X command.
For mlx5, the default is already symmetric hash, this patch now exposes this to userspace and allows enabling/disabling of the feature.

Changelog -
v4->v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
* Documentation rewording (Bagas)
* Test adjustments (Jakub)
* Verify system has at least two CPUs to run the test

v3->v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
* Test adjustments (Jakub)

v2->v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
* Reorder fields in ethtool_ops (Jakub)

PATCH v5 1/4 ethtool: Symmetric OR-XOR RSS hash

Add an additional type of symmetric RSS hash type: OR-XOR. The "Symmetric-OR-XOR" algorithm transforms the input as follows:

(SRC_IP | DST_IP, SRC_IP ^ DST_IP, SRC_PORT | DST_PORT, SRC_PORT ^ DST_PORT)

Change 'cap_rss_sym_xor_supported' to 'supported_input_xfrm', a bitmap of supported RXH_XFRM_* types.

PATCH v5 2/4 net/mlx5e: Symmetric OR-XOR RSS hash control

In reply to Gal Pressman

Allow control over the symmetric RSS hash, which was previously set to enabled by default by the driver.

Symmetric OR-XOR RSS can now be queried and controlled using the 'ethtool -x/X' command.

PATCH v5 4/4 selftests: drv-net-hw: Add a test for symmetric RSS hash

In reply to Gal Pressman

Add a selftest that verifies symmetric RSS hash is working as intended. The test runs iterations of traffic, swapping the src/dst UDP ports, and verifies that the same RX queue is receiving the traffic in both cases.

Add support for a new type of input_xfrm: Symmetric OR-XOR. Symmetric OR-XOR performs hash as follows:
(SRC_IP | DST_IP, SRC_IP ^ DST_IP, SRC_PORT | DST_PORT, SRC_PORT ^ DST_PORT)

Configuration is done through ethtool -x/X command.
For mlx5, the default is already symmetric hash, this patch now exposes this to userspace and allows enabling/disabling of the feature.
