This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc()                    sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit()			sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb()                   dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc()                   sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.

Fengguang reported, that some randconfig generated the following linker
issue with nf_ct_zone_dflt object involved:

  [...]

  make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Given that configurations exist where we have a built-in part, which is
accessing nf_ct_zone_dflt such as the two handlers nf_ct_defrag_user()
and nf_ct6_defrag_user(), and a part that configures nf_conntrack as a
module, we must move nf_ct_zone_dflt into a fixed, guaranteed built-in
area when netfilter is configured in general.

Therefore, split the more generic parts into a common header under
include/linux/netfilter/ and move nf_ct_zone_dflt into the built-in
section that already holds parts related to CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK in the
netfilter core. This fixes the issue on my side.

- Add a new set of functions for registering and unregistering per
  network namespace hooks.

- Modify the old global namespace hook functions to use the per
  network namespace hooks in their implementation, so their remains a
  single list that needs to be walked for any hook (this is important
  for keeping the hook priority working and for keeping the code
  walking the hooks simple).

- Only allow registering the per netdevice hooks in the network
  namespace where the network device lives.

- Dynamically allocate the structures in the per network namespace
  hook list in nf_register_net_hook, and unregister them in
  nf_unregister_net_hook.

  Dynamic allocate is required somewhere as the number of network
  namespaces are not fixed so we might as well allocate them in the
  registration function.

  The chain of registered hooks on any list is expected to be small so
  the cost of walking that list to find the entry we are unregistering
  should also be small.

  Performing the management of the dynamically allocated list entries
  in the registration and unregistration functions keeps the complexity
  from spreading.

This patch adds the Netfilter ingress hook just after the existing tc ingress
hook, that seems to be the consensus solution for this.

Note that the Netfilter hook resides under the global static key that enables
ingress filtering. Nonetheless, Netfilter still also has its own static key for
minimal impact on the existing handle_ing().

I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path.
Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter
ingress static key. My explanation for this is that this reduces the pressure
on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path,
and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables.
This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks,
the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent
proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet
queueing facilities.

In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general
purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store
verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set,
a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included
in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are:

* bitwise: to perform bitwise operations.
* byteorder: to change from host/network endianess.
* cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers.
* counter: to enable counters on rules.
* ct: to store conntrack keys into register.
* exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers.
* immediate: to load data into registers.
* limit: to limit matching based on packet rate.
* log: to log packets.
* meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff.
* nat: to perform Network Address Translation.
* payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into
  registers.
* reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST.

Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform
the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a
new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode.

nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from
iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the
original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support.
This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter:
nf_tables: add netlink set API).

This patch includes the following components:

* the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and
  include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h
* the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c
* the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c
* the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge:
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c
  net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c
  net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c
* the NAT table (IPv4 only):
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c
* the route table (similar to mangle):
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c
  net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c
* internal definitions under:
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h
* It also includes an skeleton expression:
  net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c
  and the preliminary implementation of the meta target
  net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c

It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new
pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store
the rule list per chain.

This patch is based on the patch from Patrick McHardy, plus merged
accumulated cleanups, fixes and small enhancements to the nftables
code that has been done since 2009, which are:

If NAT is enabled, this usually puzzles sequence tracking, leading to

By now, we only support TCP since we have no helpers for DCCP or SCTP.
Better to add this if we ever have some helper over those layer 4 protocols.

This patch allows you to include the conntrack information together
with the packet that is sent to user-space via NFQUEUE.

Previously, there was no integration between ctnetlink and
nfnetlink_queue. If you wanted to access conntrack information
from your libnetfilter_queue program, you required to query
ctnetlink from user-space to obtain it. Thus, delaying the packet
processing even more.

Including the conntrack information is optional, you can set it
via NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag with the new NFQA_CFG_FLAGS attribute.

The mask option allows you put all address belonging that mask into
the same recent slot. This can be useful in case that recent is used
to detect attacks from the same network segment.

Tested for backward compatibility.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

On configs where CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y, we can replace in fast path a
load/compare/conditional jump by a single jump with no dcache reference.

Jump target is modified as soon as nf_hooks[pf][hook] switches from
empty state to non empty states. jump_label state is kept outside of
nf_hooks array so has no cost on cpu caches.

This patch removes the test on CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG : No need to call
nf_hook_slow() at all if nf_hooks[pf][hook] is empty, this didnt give
useful information, but slowed down things a lot.
