This reverts commit 885c36e59f46375c138de18ff1692f18eff67b7f.

The patch currently broke the bpf selftest test_tc_dtime because
uapi field __sk_buff-&gt;tstamp_type depends on skb-&gt;mono_delivery_time which
does not necessarily mean mono with the original fix as the bit was re-used
for userspace timestamp as well to avoid tstamp reset in the forwarding
path. To solve this we need to keep mono_delivery_time as is and
introduce another bit called user_delivery_time and fall back to the
initial proposal of setting the user_delivery_time bit based on
sk_clockid set from userspace.

Fixes: 885c36e59f46 ("net: Re-use and set mono_delivery_time bit for userspace tstamp packets")

ignore_outgoing is read locklessly from dev_queue_xmit_nit()

Add appropriate READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

<content type='text'>
Currently getsockopt does not support PACKET_COPY_THRESH,
and we are unable to get the value of PACKET_COPY_THRESH
socket option through getsockopt.

This patch adds getsockopt support for PACKET_COPY_THRESH.

In addition, this patch converts access to copy_thresh to
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE.

<title>net: Re-use and set mono_delivery_time bit for userspace tstamp packets</title>

<content type='text'>
Bridge driver today has no support to forward the userspace timestamp
packets and ends up resetting the timestamp. ETF qdisc checks the
packet coming from userspace and encounters to be 0 thereby dropping
time sensitive packets. These changes will allow userspace timestamps
packets to be forwarded from the bridge to NIC drivers.

Setting the same bit (mono_delivery_time) to avoid dropping of
userspace tstamp packets in the forwarding path.

Existing functionality of mono_delivery_time remains unaltered here,
instead just extended with userspace tstamp support for bridge
forwarding path.

Commit da37845fdce2 ("packet: uses kfree_skb() for errors.") switches
from consume_skb to kfree_skb to improve error handling. However, this
could bring a lot of noises when we monitor real packet drops in
kfree_skb[1], because in tpacket_rcv or packet_rcv only packet clones
can be freed, not actual packets.

Adding a generic drop reason to allow distinguish these "clone drops".

Commit da37845fdce2 ("packet: uses kfree_skb() for errors.") switches
from consume_skb to kfree_skb to improve error handling. However, this
could bring a lot of noises when we monitor real packet drops in
kfree_skb[1], because in tpacket_rcv or packet_rcv only packet clones
can be freed, not actual packets.

Adding a generic drop reason to allow distinguish these "clone drops".

<title>packet: Move reference count in packet_sock to atomic_long_t</title>

In some potential instances the reference count on struct packet_sock
could be saturated and cause overflows which gets the kernel a bit
confused. To prevent this, move to a 64-bit atomic reference count on
64-bit architectures to prevent the possibility of this type to overflow.

Because we can not handle saturation, using refcount_t is not possible
in this place. Maybe someday in the future if it changes it could be
used. Also, instead of using plain atomic64_t, use atomic_long_t instead.
32-bit machines tend to be memory-limited (i.e. anything that increases
a reference uses so much memory that you can't actually get to 2**32
references). 32-bit architectures also tend to have serious problems
with 64-bit atomics. Hence, atomic_long_t is the more natural solution.
