4abe51dba6 tools: ynl: Add MAC address parsing support
Add missing support for parsing MAC addresses when display_hint is 'mac'
in the YNL library. This enables YNL CLI to accept MAC address strings
for attributes like lladdr in rt-neigh operations.

b02d229013 tools: ynltool: create skeleton for the C command
Based on past discussions it seems like integration of YNL into
iproute2 is unlikely. YNL itself is not great as a C library,
since it has no backward compat (we routinely change types).

Most of the operations can be performed with the generic Python
CLI directly. There is, however, a handful of operations where
summarization of kernel output is very useful (mostly related
to stats: page-pool, qstat).

Create a command (inspired by bpftool, I think it stood the test
of time reasonably well) to be able to plug the subcommands into.

34164142b5 tools: ynl: rework the string representation of NlError
In early days of YNL development dumping the NlMsg on errors
was quite useful, as the library itself could have been buggy.
These days increasingly the NlMsg is just taking up screen space
and means nothing to a typical user. Try to format the errors
more in line with how YNL C formats its errors strings.

Before:
  $ ynl --family ethtool  --do channels-set  --json '{}'
  Netlink error: Invalid argument
  nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
	error: -22
	extack: {'miss-type': 'header'}

  $ ynl --family ethtool  --do channels-set  --json '{..., "tx-count": 999}'
  Netlink error: Invalid argument
  nl_len = 88 (72) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
	error: -22
	extack: {'msg': 'requested channel count exceeds maximum', 'bad-attr': '.tx-count'}

After:
  $ ynl --family ethtool  --do channels-set  --json '{}'
  Netlink error: Invalid argument {'miss-type': 'header'}

  $ ynl --family ethtool  --do channels-set  --json '{..., "tx-count": 999}'
  Netlink error: requested channel count exceeds maximum: Invalid argument {'bad-attr': '.tx-count'}

65f9c4c588 tools: ynl: fix string attribute length to include null terminator
The ynl_attr_put_str() function was not including the null terminator
in the attribute length calculation. This caused kernel to reject
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY requests with EINVAL:
"Attribute failed policy validation".

For a 4-character family name like "dpll":
- Sent: nla_len=8 (4 byte header + 4 byte string without null)
- Expected: nla_len=9 (4 byte header + 5 byte string with null)

The bug was introduced in commit 15d2540e0d ("tools: ynl: check for
overflow of constructed messages") when refactoring from stpcpy() to
strlen(). The original code correctly included the null terminator:

  end = stpcpy(ynl_attr_data(attr), str);
  attr->nla_len = NLA_HDRLEN + NLA_ALIGN(end -
                                (char *)ynl_attr_data(attr));

Since stpcpy() returns a pointer past the null terminator, the length
included it. The refactored version using strlen() omitted the +1.

The fix also removes NLA_ALIGN() from nla_len calculation, since
nla_len should contain actual attribute length, not aligned length.
Alignment is only for calculating next attribute position. This makes
the code consistent with ynl_attr_put().

CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME uses NLA_NUL_STRING policy which requires
null terminator. Kernel validates with memchr() and rejects if not
found.

Add a netlink family for PSP and allow drivers to register support.

The "PSP device" is its own object. This allows us to perform more
flexible reference counting / lifetime control than if PSP information
was part of net_device. In the future we should also be able
to "delegate" PSP access to software devices, such as *vlan, veth

The attribute WGALLOWEDIP_A_IPADDR can contain either an IPv4
or an IPv6 address depending on WGALLOWEDIP_A_FAMILY, however
in practice it is enough to look at the attribute length.

This patch implements an ipv4-or-v6 display hint, that can
deal with this kind of attribute.

It only implements this display hint for genetlink-legacy, it
can be added to other protocol variants if needed, but we don't
want to encourage it's use.

See include/net/netlink.h about NLA_NESTED_ARRAY:
> The difference to NLA_NESTED is the structure:
> NLA_NESTED has the nested attributes directly inside
> while an array has the nested attributes at another
> level down and the attribute types directly in the
> nesting don't matter.

Example based on include/uapi/linux/wireguard.h:
 > WGDEVICE_A_PEERS: NLA_NESTED
 >   0: NLA_NESTED
 >     WGPEER_A_PUBLIC_KEY: NLA_EXACT_LEN, len WG_KEY_LEN
 >     [..]
 >   0: NLA_NESTED
 >     ...
 >   ...

Previous the check required that the nested type was valid
in the parent attribute set, which in this case resolves to
WGDEVICE_A_UNSPEC, which is YNL_PT_REJECT, and it took the
early exit and returned YNL_PARSE_CB_ERROR.

This patch renames the old nl_attr_validate() to
__nl_attr_validate(), and creates a new inline function
nl_attr_validate() to mimic the old one.

The new __nl_attr_validate() takes the attribute type as an
argument, so we can use it to validate attributes of a
nested attribute, in the context of the parents attribute
type, which in the above case is generated as:
[WGDEVICE_A_PEERS] = {
  .name = "peers",
  .type = YNL_PT_NEST,
  .nest = &wireguard_wgpeer_nest,
},

__nl_attr_validate() only checks if the attribute length
is plausible for a given attribute type, so the .nest in
the above example is not used.

As the new inline function needs to be defined after
ynl_attr_type(), then the definitions are moved down,
so we avoid a forward declaration of ynl_attr_type().

Some other examples are NL80211_BAND_ATTR_FREQS (nest) and
NL80211_ATTR_SUPPORTED_COMMANDS (u32) both in nl80211-user.c

099902fc66 tools: ynl-gen: avoid repetitive variables definitions
In the generated attribute parsing code, avoid repetitively
defining the same variables over and over again, local to
the conditional block for each attribute.

This patch consolidates the definitions of local variables
for attribute parsing, so that they are defined at the
function level, and re-used across attributes, thus making
the generated code read more natural.

If attributes defines identical local_vars, then they will
be deduplicated, attributes are assumed to only use their
local variables transiently.

The example below shows how `len` was defined repeatedly in
tools/net/ynl/generated/nl80211-user.c:

nl80211_iftype_data_attrs_parse(..) {
   [..]
   ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr, nested) {
     unsigned int type = ynl_attr_type(attr);

     if (type == NL80211_BAND_IFTYPE_ATTR_IFTYPES) {
       unsigned int len;
       [..]
     } else if (type == NL80211_BAND_IFTYPE_ATTR_HE_CAP_MAC) {
       unsigned int len;
       [..]
     [same pattern 8 times, so 11 times in total]
     } else if (type == NL80211_BAND_IFTYPE_ATTR_EHT_CAP_PPE) {
       unsigned int len;
       [..]
     }
   }
   return 0;
}

db4ea3baa4 tools: ynl-gen: refactor local vars for .attr_put() callers
Refactor the generation of local variables needed when building
requests, by moving the logic from put_req_nested() into a new
helper put_local_vars(), and use the helper before .attr_put() is
called, thus generating the local variables assumed by .attr_put().

Previously only put_req_nested() generated the variables assumed
by .attr_put(),  print_req() only generated the count iterator `i`,
and print_dump() neither generated `i` nor `array`.

This patch fixes the build errors below:

a6824f65c9 tools: ynl: avoid "use of uninitialized variable" false positive in generated code
With indexed-array types such as "ops" from
Documentation/netlink/specs/nlctrl.yaml, the generator creates code
such as:

int nlctrl_getfamily_rsp_parse(const struct nlmsghdr *nlh,
			       struct ynl_parse_arg *yarg)
{
	struct nlctrl_getfamily_rsp *dst;
	const struct nlattr *attr_ops;
	const struct nlattr *attr;
	struct ynl_parse_arg parg;
	unsigned int n_ops = 0;
	int i;

	...

	ynl_attr_for_each(attr, nlh, yarg->ys->family->hdr_len) {
		unsigned int type = ynl_attr_type(attr);

		if (type == CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_ID) {
			...
		} else if (type == CTRL_ATTR_OPS) {
			const struct nlattr *attr2;

			attr_ops = attr;
			ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr2, attr) {
				if (ynl_attr_validate(yarg, attr2))
					return YNL_PARSE_CB_ERROR;
				n_ops++;
			}
		} else {
			...
		}
	}
	if (n_ops) {
		dst->ops = calloc(n_ops, sizeof(*dst->ops));
		dst->_count.ops = n_ops;
		i = 0;
		parg.rsp_policy = &nlctrl_op_attrs_nest;
		ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr, attr_ops) {
			...
		}
	}

	return YNL_PARSE_CB_OK;
}

It is clear that due to the sequential nature of code execution, when
n_ops (initially zero) is incremented, attr_ops is also assigned from
the value of "attr" (the current iterator).

But some compilers, like gcc version 12.2.0 (Debian 12.2.0-14+deb12u1)
as distributed by Debian Bookworm, seem to be not sophisticated enough
to see this, and fail to compile (warnings treated as errors):

In file included from ../lib/ynl.h:10,
                 from nlctrl-user.c:9:
In function ‘ynl_attr_data_end’,
    inlined from ‘nlctrl_getfamily_rsp_parse’ at nlctrl-user.c:427:3:
../lib/ynl-priv.h:209:44: warning: ‘attr_ops’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  209 |         return (char *)ynl_attr_data(attr) + ynl_attr_data_len(attr);
      |                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nlctrl-user.c: In function ‘nlctrl_getfamily_rsp_parse’:
nlctrl-user.c:341:30: note: ‘attr_ops’ was declared here
  341 |         const struct nlattr *attr_ops;
      |                              ^~~~~~~~

It is a pity that we have to do this, but I see no other way than to
suppress the false positive by appeasing the compiler and initializing
the "*attr_{aspec.c_name}" variable with a bogus value (NULL). This will
never be used - at runtime it will always be overwritten when
"n_{struct[anest].c_name}" is non-zero.

b4ada0618e tools: ynl-gen: fix nested array counting
The blamed commit introduced the concept of split attribute
counting, and later allocating an array to hold them, however
TypeArrayNest wasn't updated to use the new counting variable.

Abbreviated example from tools/net/ynl/generated/nl80211-user.c:
nl80211_if_combination_attributes_parse(...):
  unsigned int n_limits = 0;
  [...]
  ynl_attr_for_each(attr, nlh, yarg->ys->family->hdr_len)
	if (type == NL80211_IFACE_COMB_LIMITS)
		ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr2, attr)
			dst->_count.limits++;
  if (n_limits) {
	dst->_count.limits = n_limits;
	/* allocate and parse attributes */
  }

In the above example n_limits is guaranteed to always be 0,
hence the conditional is unsatisfiable and is optimized out.

This patch changes the attribute counting to use n_limits++ in the
attribute counting loop in the above example.

5fece05445 tools: ynl-gen: use macro for binary min-len check
This patch changes the generated min-len check for binary
attributes to use the NLA_POLICY_MIN_LEN() macro, thereby the
generated code supports strict policy validation.

With this change TypeBinary will always generate a NLA_BINARY
attribute policy.

This doesn't change any currently generated code, as it isn't
used in any specs currently used for generating code.

f25f39e6d2 tools: ynl_gen_rst.py: Split library from command line tool
As we'll be using the Netlink specs parser inside a Sphinx
extension, move the library part from the command line parser.

While here, change the code which generates an index file
to parse inputs from both .rst and .yaml extensions. With
that, the tool can easily be tested with:

	tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_rst.py -x -o Documentation/netlink/specs/foo.rst

Without needing to first generate a temp directory with the
rst files.

dd5d5a11ba docs: netlink: netlink-raw.rst: use :ref: instead of :doc:
Currently, rt documents are referred with:

Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/netlink-raw.rst: :doc:`rt-link<../../networking/netlink_spec/rt-link>`
Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/netlink-raw.rst: :doc:`tc<../../networking/netlink_spec/tc>`
Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/netlink-raw.rst: :doc:`tc<../../networking/netlink_spec/tc>`

Having :doc: references with relative paths doesn't always work,
as it may have troubles when O= is used. Also that's hard to
maintain, and may break if we change the way rst files are
generated from yaml. Better to use instead a reference for
the netlink family.

So, replace them by Sphinx cross-reference tag that are
created by ynl_gen_rst.py.

8553fb7c55 tools: ynl-gen: print setters for multi-val attrs
For basic types we "flatten" setters. If a request "a" has a simple
nest "b" with value "val" we print helpers like:

 req_set_a_b(struct a *req, int val)
 {
   req->_present.a = 1;
   req->b._present.val = 1;
   req->b.val = ...
 }

This is not possible for multi-attr because they have to be allocated
dynamically by the user. Print "object level" setters so that user
preparing the object doesn't have to futz with the presence bits
and other YNL internals.

Add the ability to pass in the variable name to generated setters.
Using "req" here doesn't feel right, while the attr is part of a request
it's not the request itself, so it seems cleaner to call it "obj".

Example:

 static inline void
 netdev_queue_id_set_id(struct netdev_queue_id *obj, __u32 id)
 {
	obj->_present.id = 1;
	obj->id = id;
 }

2c222dde61 tools: ynl-gen: print alloc helper for multi-val attrs
In general YNL provides allocation and free helpers for types.
For pure nested structs which are used as multi-attr (and therefore
have to be allocated dynamically) we already print a free helper
as it's needed by free of the containing struct.

Add printing of the alloc helper for consistency. The helper
takes the number of entries to allocate as an argument, e.g.:

  static inline struct netdev_queue_id *netdev_queue_id_alloc(unsigned int n)
  {
	return calloc(n, sizeof(struct netdev_queue_id));
  }

before adding more things to print move the free printing
to a helper which already prints the type.
