====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree,
they are:

1) Fix incorrect timestamp in nfnetlink_queue introduced when addressing
   y2038 safe timestamp, from Florian Westphal.

2) Get rid of leftover conntrack definition from the previous merge
   window, oneliner from Florian.

3) Make nf_queue handler pernet to resolve race on dereferencing the
   hook state structure with netns removal, from Eric Biederman.

4) Ensure clean exit on unregistered helper ports, from Taehee Yoo.

5) Restore FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH in nf_dup_ipv6. This got lost while
   generalizing xt_TEE to add packet duplication support in nf_tables,
   from Paolo Abeni.

6) Insufficient netlink NFTA_SET_TABLE attribute check in
   nf_tables_getset(), from Phil Turnbull.

7) Reject helper registration on duplicated ports via modparams.

With the commit 48e8aa6e3137 ("ipv6: Set FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH at
flowi6_flags") ip6_pol_route() callers were asked to to set the
FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH properly and xt_TEE was updated accordingly,
but with the later refactor in commit bbde9fc1824a ("netfilter:
factor out packet duplication for IPv4/IPv6") the flowi6_flags
update was lost.
This commit re-add it just before the routing decision.

The dprintf() and duprintf() functions are enabled at compile time,
these days we have better runtime debugging through pr_debug() and
static keys.

On top of this, this debugging is so old that I don't expect anyone
using this anymore, so let's get rid of this.

IP_NF_ASSERT() is still left in place, although this needs that
NETFILTER_DEBUG is enabled, I think these assertions provide useful
context information when reading the code.

Note that ARP_NF_ASSERT() has been removed as there is no user of
this.

Kill also DEBUG_ALLOW_ALL and a couple of pr_error() and pr_debug()
spots that are inconsistently placed in the code.

<title>netfilter: fix IS_ERR_VALUE usage</title>

This is a forward-port of the original patch from Andrzej Hajda,
he said:

"IS_ERR_VALUE should be used only with unsigned long type.
Otherwise it can work incorrectly. To achieve this function
xt_percpu_counter_alloc is modified to return unsigned long,
and its result is assigned to temporary variable to perform
error checking, before assigning to .pcnt field.

The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

[1]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2120927
[2]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2150581"

Original patch from Andrzej is here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/582970/

This patch has clashed with input validation fixes for x_tables.

<title>netfilter: x_tables: do compat validation via translate_table</title>

<id>09d9686047dbbe1cf4faa558d3ecc4aae2046054</id>
<content type='text'>
This looks like refactoring, but its also a bug fix.

Problem is that the compat path (32bit iptables, 64bit kernel) lacks a few
sanity tests that are done in the normal path.

For example, we do not check for underflows and the base chain policies.

While its possible to also add such checks to the compat path, its more
copy&amp;pastry, for instance we cannot reuse check_underflow() helper as
e-&gt;target_offset differs in the compat case.

Other problem is that it makes auditing for validation errors harder; two
places need to be checked and kept in sync.

At a high level 32 bit compat works like this:
1- initial pass over blob:
   validate match/entry offsets, bounds checking
   lookup all matches and targets
   do bookkeeping wrt. size delta of 32/64bit structures
   assign match/target.u.kernel pointer (points at kernel
   implementation, needed to access -&gt;compatsize etc.)

2- allocate memory according to the total bookkeeping size to
   contain the translated ruleset

3- second pass over original blob:
   for each entry, copy the 32bit representation to the newly allocated
   memory.  This also does any special match translations (e.g.
   adjust 32bit to 64bit longs, etc).

4- check if ruleset is free of loops (chase all jumps)

5-first pass over translated blob:
   call the checkentry function of all matches and targets.

The alternative implemented by this patch is to drop steps 3&amp;4 from the
compat process, the translation is changed into an intermediate step
rather than a full 1:1 translate_table replacement.

In the 2nd pass (step #3), change the 64bit ruleset back to a kernel
representation, i.e. put() the kernel pointer and restore -&gt;u.user.name .

This gets us a 64bit ruleset that is in the format generated by a 64bit
iptables userspace -- we can then use translate_table() to get the
'native' sanity checks.

This has two drawbacks:

1. we re-validate all the match and target entry structure sizes even
though compat translation is supposed to never generate bogus offsets.
2. we put and then re-lookup each match and target.

THe upside is that we get all sanity tests and ruleset validations
provided by the normal path and can remove some duplicated compat code.

iptables-restore time of autogenerated ruleset with 300k chains of form
-A CHAIN0001 -m limit --limit 1/s -j CHAIN0002
-A CHAIN0002 -m limit --limit 1/s -j CHAIN0003

shows no noticeable differences in restore times:
old:   0m30.796s
new:   0m31.521s
64bit: 0m25.674s
