To avoid a direct dependency with tc actions from netfilter, wrap the
redirect bits around CONFIG_NET_REDIRECT and move helpers to
include/linux/skbuff.h. Turn on this toggle from the ifb driver, the
only existing client of these bits in the tree.

This patch adds skb_set_redirected() that sets on the redirected bit
on the skbuff, it specifies if the packet was redirect from ingress
and resets the timestamp (timestamp reset was originally missing in the
netfilter bugfix).

The description says 'If unsure, say N.' but
the module is built as M by default (once
the dependencies are satisfied).

When the module is selected (Y or M), it enables
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS
which alter kernel internal structures.

We (Android Studio Emulator) currently do not
use this module and think this it is more consistent
to have it disabled by default as opposite to
disabling it explicitly to prevent enabling
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS.

<title>mptcp: Add MPTCP socket stubs</title>

Implements the infrastructure for MPTCP sockets.

MPTCP sockets open one in-kernel TCP socket per subflow. These subflow
sockets are only managed by the MPTCP socket that owns them and are not
visible from userspace. This commit allows a userspace program to open
an MPTCP socket with:

  sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP);

The resulting socket is simply a wrapper around a single regular TCP
socket, without any of the MPTCP protocol implemented over the wire.

<title>net: Add a layer for non-PHY MII time stamping drivers.</title>

While PHY time stamping drivers can simply attach their interface
directly to the PHY instance, stand alone drivers require support in
order to manage their services.  Non-PHY MII time stamping drivers
have a control interface over another bus like I2C, SPI, UART, or via
a memory mapped peripheral.  The controller device will be associated
with one or more time stamping channels, each of which sits snoops in
on a MII bus.

This patch provides a glue layer that will enable time stamping
channels to find their controlling device.

<title>devlink: Add packet trap infrastructure</title>

<id>0f420b6c52e9799f664429e739a421fb4c5527a3</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the basic packet trap infrastructure that allows device drivers to
register their supported packet traps and trap groups with devlink.

Each driver is expected to provide basic information about each
supported trap, such as name and ID, but also the supported metadata
types that will accompany each packet trapped via the trap. The
currently supported metadata type is just the input port, but more will
be added in the future. For example, output port and traffic class.

Trap groups allow users to set the action of all member traps. In
addition, users can retrieve per-group statistics in case per-trap
statistics are too narrow. In the future, the trap group object can be
extended with more attributes, such as policer settings which will limit
the amount of traffic generated by member traps towards the CPU.

Beside registering their packet traps with devlink, drivers are also
expected to report trapped packets to devlink along with relevant
metadata. devlink will maintain packets and bytes statistics for each
packet trap and will potentially report the trapped packet with its
metadata to user space via drop monitor netlink channel.

The interface towards the drivers is simple and allows devlink to set
the action of the trap. Currently, only two actions are supported:
'trap' and 'drop'. When set to 'trap', the device is expected to provide
the sole copy of the packet to the driver which will pass it to devlink.
When set to 'drop', the device is expected to drop the packet and not
send a copy to the driver. In the future, more actions can be added,
such as 'mirror'.

<title>net: ipv4: move tcp_fastopen server side code to SipHash library</title>

<id>c681edae33e86ff27be2d6cc717663d91df20b0e</id>
<content type='text'>
Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea,
not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in
the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons.

In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or
two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most
systems, this results in a call chain such as

  crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src)
    crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)-&gt;cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...);
      aesni_encrypt
        kernel_fpu_begin();
        aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine
        kernel_fpu_end();

It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a
benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice
for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process
the entire input in one go.

We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get
rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only
arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will
end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher,
which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given
context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that
is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash.

Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for
TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input
sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well.

NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes
      and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by
      this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel
      upgrades at the same time.

Some drivers are becoming more dependent on NET_DEVLINK being selected

NET_DEVLINK and rely on the functions being there, not just stubs.
