netns: fix net_generic() "id - 1" bloat

netns: fix net_generic() "id - 1" bloat

net_generic() function is both a) inline and b) used ~600 times.

It has the following code inside

...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...

"id" is never compile time constant so compiler is forced to subtract 1.
And those decrements or LEA [r32 - 1] instructions add up.

We also start id'ing from 1 to catch bugs where pernet sybsystem id
is not initialized and 0. This is quite pointless idea (nothing will
work or immediate interference with first registered subsystem) in
general but it hints what needs to be done for code size reduction.

Namely, overlaying allocation of pointer array and fixed part of
structure in the beginning and using usual base-0 addressing.

Ids are just cookies, their exact values do not matter, so lets start
with 3 on x86_64.

Code size savings (oh boy): -4.2 KB

As usual, ignore the initial compiler stupidity part of the table.

Publishing net_generic pointer is done with silly mistake: new array is

ng->ptr[id - 1] = data;

This bug was introduced with commit dec827d174d7f76c457238800183ca864a639365
("[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.") in the glorious days of
chopping networking stack into containers proper 8.5 years ago (whee...)

How it didn't trigger for so long?
Well, you need quite specific set of conditions:

*) race window opens once per pernet subsystem addition
(read: modprobe or boot)

*) not every pernet subsystem is eligible (need ->id and ->size)

*) not every pernet subsystem is vulnerable (need incorrect or absense
of ordering of register_pernet_sybsys() and actually using net_generic())

*) to hide the bug even more, default is to preallocate 13 pointers which
is actually quite a lot. You need IPv6, netfilter, bridging etc together
loaded to trigger reallocation in the first place. Trimmed down
config are OK.

netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}

roughly translates to

movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

After that point we should not even access net->netns_ids, we
should check the death of the current netns as early as we can in
peernet2id_alloc().

For net-next we can consider to avoid sending rtmsg totally,
it is a good optimization for netns teardown path.

netns: do not call pernet ops for not yet set up init_net namespace

When CONFIG_NET_NS is disabled, registering pernet operations causes
init() to be called immediately with init_net as an argument. Unfortunately
this leads to some pernet ops, such as proc_net_ns_init() to be called too
early, when init_net namespace has not been fully initialized. This causes
issues when we want to change pernet ops to use more data from the net
namespace in question, for example reference user namespace that owns our
network namespace.

To fix this we could either play game of musical chairs and rearrange init
order, or we could do the same as when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled, and
postpone calling pernet ops->init() until namespace is set up properly.

Note that we can not simply undo commit ed160e839d2e ("[NET]: Cleanup
pernet operation without CONFIG_NET_NS") and use the same implementations
for __register_pernet_operations() and __unregister_pernet_operations(),
because many pernet ops are marked as __net_initdata and will be discarded,
which wreaks havoc on our ops lists. Here we rely on the fact that we only
use lists until init_net is fully initialized, which happens much earlier
than discarding __net_initdata sections.

netlink: allow to listen "all" netns

More accurately, listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns
where the netlink socket is opened.
For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added:
NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this
socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid
assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent
to userland via an anscillary data.

With this patch, a daemon needs only one socket to listen many netns. This
is useful when the number of netns is high.

Because 0 is a valid value for a nsid, the field nsid_is_set indicates if
the field nsid is valid or not. skb->cb is initialized to 0 on skb
allocation, thus we are sure that we will never send a nsid 0 by error to
the userland.

The next patch will introduce a netlink socket option to listen to all

Thus, it's important to call rtnl_net_notifyid() outside the spinlock, to
avoid a recursive lock (nsid are notified via rtnl). This was the main
reason of the previous patch.
