485ac57bc1 netns: add register_pernet_gen_subsys/unregister_pernet_gen_subsys
netns ops which are registered with register_pernet_gen_device() are
shutdown strictly before those which are registered with
register_pernet_subsys(). Sometimes this leads to opposite (read: buggy)
shutdown ordering between two modules.

Add register_pernet_gen_subsys()/unregister_pernet_gen_subsys() for modules
which aren't elite enough for entry in struct net, and which can't use
register_pernet_gen_device(). PPTP conntracking module is such one.

96631ed16c udp: introduce sk_for_each_rcu_safenext()
Corey Minyard found a race added in commit 271b72c7fa
(udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.)

 "If the socket is moved from one list to another list in-between the
 time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
 socket has moved to the end of the new list, the traversal will not
 complete properly on the list it should have, since the socket will
 be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
 new list and restart the list traversal.  I think that this can be
 solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
 checking the hash."

This patch corrects this problem, introducing a new
sk_for_each_rcu_safenext() macro.

271b72c7fa udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.
Goals are :

1) Optimizing handling of incoming Unicast UDP frames, so that no memory
 writes should happen in the fast path.

 Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock,
 because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult.

2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases :
  - No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls.

  - No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs,
  but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls,
  that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold.
  (rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse
   make this socket being cold in CPU cache).
  David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20%
  impact on TCP connection rates.
  Quoting Cristopher Lameter :
   "Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle
    the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed
    up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple
    regressions due to cacheline cooldown.
    The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the
    complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU."

  - Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache,
  use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here.

Theory of operation :
---------------------

As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()),
special attention must be taken by readers and writers.

Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed,
reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain
while readers could do lookups in the same time.

In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain
really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a
mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop
is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because
we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket.

We use RCU only for fast path.
Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks.

645ca708f9 udp: introduce struct udp_table and multiple spinlocks
UDP sockets are hashed in a 128 slots hash table.

This hash table is protected by *one* rwlock.

This rwlock is readlocked each time an incoming UDP message is handled.

This rwlock is writelocked each time a socket must be inserted in
hash table (bind time), or deleted from this table (close time)

This is not scalable on SMP machines :

1) Even in read mode, lock() and unlock() are atomic operations and
 must dirty a contended cache line, shared by all cpus.

2) A writer might be starved if many readers are 'in flight'. This can
 happen on a machine with some NIC receiving many UDP messages. User
 process can be delayed a long time at socket creation/dismantle time.

This patch prepares RCU migration, by introducing 'struct udp_table
and struct udp_hslot', and using one spinlock per chain, to reduce
contention on central rwlock.

Introducing one spinlock per chain reduces latencies, for port
randomization on heavily loaded UDP servers. This also speedup
bindings to specific ports.

udp_lib_unhash() was uninlined, becoming to big.

Some cleanups were done to ease review of following patch
(RCUification of UDP Unicast lookups)

1080d709fb net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded
This is a patch to provide on demand route cache rebuilding.  Currently, our
route cache is rebulid periodically regardless of need.  This introduced
unneeded periodic latency.  This patch offers a better approach.  Using code
provided by Eric Dumazet, we compute the standard deviation of the average hash
bucket chain length while running rt_check_expire.  Should any given chain
length grow to larger that average plus 4 standard deviations, we trigger an
emergency hash table rebuild for that net namespace.  This allows for the common
case in which chains are well behaved and do not grow unevenly to not incur any
latency at all, while those systems (which may be being maliciously attacked),
only rebuild when the attack is detected.  This patch take 2 other factors into
account:
1) chains with multiple entries that differ by attributes that do not affect the
hash value are only counted once, so as not to unduly bias system to rebuilding
if features like QOS are heavily used
2) if rebuilding crosses a certain threshold (which is adjustable via the added
sysctl in this patch), route caching is disabled entirely for that net
namespace, since constant rebuilding is less efficient that no caching at all

Tested successfully by me.

This adds a new protocol processing support code based on Anthony Liguori's

printf like strings to represent protocol elements.  It is my intent to use
them to replace the current functions in conv.c as well as the 
p9_create_* functions.

This should make the client implementation much more clear, and also make it
much easier to add new protocol extensions by limiting the number of places

e6a7d3c04f netfilter: ctnetlink: remove bogus module dependency between ctnetlink and nf_nat
This patch removes the module dependency between ctnetlink and
nf_nat by means of an indirect call that is initialized when
nf_nat is loaded. Now, nf_conntrack_netlink only requires
nf_conntrack and nfnetlink.

This patch puts nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup_hook into the
nf_conntrack_core to avoid dependencies between ctnetlink,
nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack_ipv6.

This patch also introduces the function ctnetlink_change_nat
that is only invoked from the creation path. Actually, the
nat handling cannot be invoked from the update path since
this is not allowed. By introducing this function, we remove
the useless nat handling in the update path and we avoid
deadlock-prone code.

This patch also adds the required EAGAIN logic for nfnetlink.

64f1b65382 net: fix dummy 'nf_conntrack_event_cache()'
The dummy version of 'nf_conntrack_event_cache()' (used when the
NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS config option is not enabled) had not been updated
when the calling convention changed.

This was introduced by commit a71996fccc
("netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: pass conntrack to
nf_conntrack_event_cache() not skb")

Tssk.

15c45f7b2e cipso: Add support for native local labeling and fixup mapping names
This patch accomplishes three minor tasks: add a new tag type for local
labeling, rename the CIPSO_V4_MAP_STD define to CIPSO_V4_MAP_TRANS and
replace some of the CIPSO "magic numbers" with constants from the header
file.  The first change allows CIPSO to support full LSM labels/contexts,
not just MLS attributes.  The second change brings the mapping names inline
with what userspace is using, compatibility is preserved since we don't
actually change the value.  The last change is to aid readability and help
prevent mistakes.

014ab19a69 selinux: Set socket NetLabel based on connection endpoint
Previous work enabled the use of address based NetLabel selectors, which while
highly useful, brought the potential for additional per-packet overhead when
used.  This patch attempts to solve that by applying NetLabel socket labels
when sockets are connect()'d.  This should alleviate the per-packet NetLabel
labeling for all connected sockets (yes, it even works for connected DGRAM
sockets).

948bf85c1b netlabel: Add functionality to set the security attributes of a packet
This patch builds upon the new NetLabel address selector functionality by
providing the NetLabel KAPI and CIPSO engine support needed to enable the
new packet-based labeling.  The only new addition to the NetLabel KAPI at
this point is shown below:

 * int netlbl_skbuff_setattr(skb, family, secattr)

... and is designed to be called from a Netfilter hook after the packet's
IP header has been populated such as in the FORWARD or LOCAL_OUT hooks.

This patch also provides the necessary SELinux hooks to support this new
functionality.  Smack support is not currently included due to uncertainty
regarding the permissions needed to expand the Smack network access controls.

This patch extends the NetLabel traffic labeling capabilities to individual
packets based not only on the LSM domain but the by the destination address
as well.  The changes here only affect the core NetLabel infrastructre,
changes to the NetLabel KAPI and individial protocol engines are also
required but are split out into a different patch to ease review.
