net: reduce cycles spend on ICMP replies that gets rate limited

This patch split the global and per (inet)peer ICMP-reply limiter
code, and moves the global limit check to earlier in the packet
processing path. Thus, avoid spending cycles on ICMP replies that
gets limited/suppressed anyhow.

The global ICMP rate limiter icmp_global_allow() is a good solution,
it just happens too late in the process. The kernel goes through the
full route lookup (return path) for the ICMP message, before taking
the rate limit decision of not sending the ICMP reply.

Details: The kernels global rate limiter for ICMP messages got added
in commit 4cdf507d5452 ("icmp: add a global rate limitation"). It is
a token bucket limiter with a global lock. It brilliantly avoids
locking congestion by only updating when 20ms (HZ/50) were elapsed. It
can then avoids taking lock when credit is exhausted (when under
pressure) and time constraint for refill is not yet meet.

net: inet: Support UID-based routing in IP protocols.

- Use the UID in routing lookups made by protocol connect() and
sendmsg() functions.
- Make sure that routing lookups triggered by incoming packets
(e.g., Path MTU discovery) take the UID of the socket into
account.
- For packets not associated with a userspace socket, (e.g., ping
replies) use UID 0 inside the user namespace corresponding to
the network namespace the socket belongs to. This allows
all namespaces to apply routing and iptables rules to
kernel-originated traffic in that namespaces by matching UID 0.
This is better than using the UID of the kernel socket that is
sending the traffic, because the UID of kernel sockets created
at namespace creation time (e.g., the per-processor ICMP and
TCP sockets) is the UID of the user that created the socket,
which might not be mapped in the namespace.

ipv6: RFC 4884 partial support for SIT/GRE tunnels

When receiving an ICMPv4 message containing extensions as
defined in RFC 4884, and translating it to ICMPv6 at SIT
or GRE tunnel, we need some extra manipulation in order
to properly forward the extensions.

This patch only takes care of Time Exceeded messages as they
are the ones that typically carry information from various
routers in a fabric during a traceroute session.

It also avoids complex skb logic if the data_len is not
a multiple of 8.

RFC states :

The "original datagram" field MUST contain at least 128 octets.
If the original datagram did not contain 128 octets, the
"original datagram" field MUST be zero padded to 128 octets.

In practice routers use 128 bytes of original datagram, not more.

Initial translation was added in commit ca15a078bd90
("sit: generate icmpv6 error when receiving icmpv4 error")

net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses

IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the
VRF driver:
1. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups,
packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on
the VRF device table.

2. fail sends/receives on a VRF device to/from a multicast address
(e.g, make ping6 ff02::1%<vrf> fail)

3. move the setting of the flow oif to the first dst lookup and revert
the change in icmpv6_echo_reply made in ca254490c8dfd ("net: Add VRF
support to IPv6 stack"). Linklocal/mcast addresses require use of the
skb->dev.

With this change connections into and out of a VRF enslaved device work

ping6 -c3 ff02::1%br1

sock: enable timestamping using control messages

Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
tx timestamps.

Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.

Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
write.

ipv6: kill sk_dst_lock

While testing the np->opt RCU conversion, I found that UDP/IPv6 was
using a mixture of xchg() and sk_dst_lock to protect concurrent changes
to sk->sk_dst_cache, leading to possible corruptions and crashes.

ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() uses sk_dst_check() anyway, so the simplest
way to fix the mess is to remove sk_dst_lock completely, as we did for
IPv4.

__ip6_dst_store() and ip6_dst_store() share same implementation.

sk_setup_caps() being called with socket lock being held or not,
we have to use sk_dst_set() instead of __sk_dst_set()

Note that I had to move the "np->dst_cookie = rt6_get_cookie(rt);"
in ip6_dst_store() before the sk_setup_caps(sk, dst) call.

This is because ip6_dst_store() can be called from process context,
without any lock held.

As soon as the dst is installed in sk->sk_dst_cache, dst can be freed
from another cpu doing a concurrent ip6_dst_store()

Doing the dst dereference before doing the install is needed to make
sure no use after free would trigger.

ipv6: change ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup to take net argument

This patch adds net argument to ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup
for use cases where sk is not available (like mpls).
sk appears to be needed to get the namespace 'net' and is optional
otherwise. This patch series changes ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup
to take net argument. sk remains optional.

All callers of ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup have been modified
to pass net. I have modified them to use already available
'net' in the scope of the call. I can change them to
sock_net(sk) to avoid any unintended change in behaviour if sock
namespace is different. They dont seem to be from code inspection.

ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST

When creating a RTF_CACHE route, RTF_ANYCAST is set based on rt6i_dst.
Also, rt6i_gateway is always set to the nexthop while the nexthop
could be a gateway or the rt6i_dst.addr.

After removing the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src dependency in the last patch,
we also need to stop the caller from depending on rt6i_gateway and
RTF_ANYCAST.

ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_dst and rt6i_src

This patch removes the assumptions that the returned rt is always
a RTF_CACHE entry with the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src containing the
destination and source address. The dst and src can be recovered from
the calling site.

We may consider to rename (rt6i_dst, rt6i_src) to
(rt6i_key_dst, rt6i_key_src) later.

ipv6: coding style: comparison for equality with NULL

The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL
pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is preferred according to
checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter
form.

No changes detected by objdiff.
