Chia-Yu Chang aa55a7dde7 tcp: accecn: AccECN option send control
Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to
those ACKs where the option is necessary:
- Handshake
- "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The
  2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which
  of the ECN byte counters in increasing. The first
  ACK has two counters increasing due to the ecnfield
  edge.
- ACKs with CE to allow CEP delta validations to take
  advantage of the option.
- Force option to be sent every at least once per 2^22
  bytes. The check is done using the bit edges of the
  byte counters (avoids need for extra variables).
- AccECN option beacon to send a few times per RTT even if
  nothing in the ECN state requires that. The default is 3
  times per RTT, and its period can be set via
  sysctl_tcp_ecn_option_beacon.

Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch,
in which the group size of tcp_sock_write_tx is increased
from 89 to 97 due to the new u64 accecn_opt_tstamp member:

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 reStructuredText 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.
