netfilter: updates for net-next
1) prefer vmalloc_array in ebtables, from Qianfeng Rong.
2) Use csum_replace4 instead of open-coding it, from Christophe Leroy.
3+4) Get rid of GFP_ATOMIC in transaction object allocations, those
cause silly failures with large sets under memory pressure, from
myself.
5) Remove test for AVX cpu feature in nftables pipapo set type,
testing for AVX2 feature is sufficient.
6) Unexport a few function in nf_reject infra: no external callers.
7) Extend payload offset to u16, this was restricted to values <=255
so far, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera.

When tcp_ao_copy_all_matching() fails in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() it just
exits the function. This ends up causing a memory-leak:

This is because in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock (and the IPv4 counterpart), when
exiting upon error, inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() and tcp_done() need
to be called. They make sure the newsk will end up being correctly
free'd.
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() makes this very clear by having the put_and_exit
label that takes care of things. So, this patch here makes sure
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock and tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock have similar
error-handling and thus fixes the leak for TCP-AO.

The icmp_ndo_send function was originally introduced to ensure proper
rate limiting when icmp_send is called by a network device driver,
where the packet's source address may have already been transformed
by SNAT.
However, the original implementation only considers the
IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL direction for SNAT and always replaced the packet's
source address with that of the original-direction tuple. This causes
two problems:
1. For SNAT:
Reply-direction packets were incorrectly translated using the source
address of the CT original direction, even though no translation is
required.
2. For DNAT:
Reply-direction packets were not handled at all. In DNAT, the original
direction's destination is translated. Therefore, in the reply
direction the source address must be set to the reply-direction
source, so rate limiting works as intended.
Fix this by using the connection direction to select the correct tuple
for source address translation, and adjust the pre-checks to handle
reply-direction packets in case of DNAT.
Additionally, wrap the `ct->status` access in READ_ONCE(). This avoids
possible KCSAN reports about concurrent updates to `ct->status`.

When a packet flood hits one or more RAW sockets, many cpus
have to update sk->sk_drops.
This slows down other cpus, because currently
sk_drops is in sock_write_rx group.
Add a socket_drop_counters structure to raw sockets.
Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters
makes sure that consumers no longer suffer from
false sharing if/when producers only change sk->sk_drops.

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus
this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing
high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support,
and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward:
- Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares
most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the
generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the
architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use
library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally,
reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API.
- Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224
which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller
change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all
the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512.
There are also some smaller changes:
- Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code
from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For
these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet.
- Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler.
- Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts.
- Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code.
- Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code.
Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler,
the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of
new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA
variants.
These APIs will allow further simplifications across the kernel as
users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API. (I've
already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over 1000
more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later)"

fib6_info_uses_dev() seems to rely on RCU without an explicit
protection.
Like the prior fix in rt6_nlmsg_size(),
we need to make sure fib6_del_route() or fib6_add_rt2node()
have not removed the anchor from the list, or we risk an infinite loop.

While testing prior patch, I was able to trigger
an infinite loop in rt6_nlmsg_size() in the following place:
list_for_each_entry_rcu(sibling, &f6i->fib6_siblings,
fib6_siblings) {
rt6_nh_nlmsg_size(sibling->fib6_nh, &nexthop_len);
}
This is because fib6_del_route() and fib6_add_rt2node()
uses list_del_rcu(), which can confuse rcu readers,
because they might no longer see the head of the list.
Restart the loop if f6i->fib6_nsiblings is zero.

It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface
basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to
enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using
a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of
interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the
sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding
for all interfaces, while the interface-specific
`net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface
Host/Router configuration.
Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every
interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global
forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the
packet.
To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces)
to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0.
Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and
without `force_forwarding`.

The seqcount xt_recseq is used to synchronize the replacement of
xt_table::private in xt_replace_table() against all readers such as
ipt_do_table()
To ensure that there is only one writer, the writing side disables
bottom halves. The sequence counter can be acquired recursively. Only the
first invocation modifies the sequence counter (signaling that a writer
is in progress) while the following (recursive) writer does not modify
the counter.
The lack of a proper locking mechanism for the sequence counter can lead
to live lock on PREEMPT_RT if the high prior reader preempts the
writer. Additionally if the per-CPU lock on PREEMPT_RT is removed from
local_bh_disable() then there is no synchronisation for the per-CPU
sequence counter.
The affected code is "just" the legacy netfilter code which is replaced
by "netfilter tables". That code can be disabled without sacrificing
functionality because everything is provided by the newer
implementation. This will only requires the usage of the "-nft" tools
instead of the "-legacy" ones.
The long term plan is to remove the legacy code so lets accelerate the
progress.
Relax dependencies on iptables legacy, replace select with depends on,
this should cause no harm to existing kernel configs and users can still
toggle IP{6}_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY in any case.
Make EBTABLES_LEGACY, IPTABLES_LEGACY and ARPTABLES depend on
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Hide xt_recseq and its users,
xt_register_table() and xt_percpu_counter_alloc() behind
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Let NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY depend on
!PREEMPT_RT.
This will break selftest expecing the legacy options enabled and will be
addressed in a following patch.
