RFC 5082 IPV6_MINHOPCOUNT is rarely used on hosts.

Add a static key to remove from TCP fast path useless code,
and potential cache line miss to fetch tcp_inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;min_hopcount

Note that once ip6_min_hopcount static key has been enabled,
it stays enabled until next boot.

<title>ipv6: Add a sysctl to control multipath hash fields</title>

<id>ed13923f980ef84dde0b9010b9e09052dc31a909</id>
<content type='text'>
A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet
fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space.
This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields.

The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between
IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both
protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037
 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037

To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the
'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields.

The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000
 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument

<title>seg6: add support for IPv4 decapsulation in ipv6_srh_rcv()</title>

<content type='text'>
As specified in IETF RFC 8754, section 4.3.1.2, if the upper layer
header is IPv4 or IPv6, perform IPv6 decapsulation and resubmit the
decapsulated packet to the IPv4 or IPv6 module.
Only IPv6 decapsulation was implemented. This patch adds support for IPv4
decapsulation.

Rework the remaining setsockopt code to pass a sockptr_t instead of a
plain user pointer.  This removes the last remaining set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
outside of architecture specific code.

Pass a sockptr_t to prepare for set_fs-less handling of the kernel
pointer from bpf-cgroup.

Note that the get case is pretty weird in that it actually copies data
back to userspace from setsockopt.
