__DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY is defined in include/uapi/linux/stddef.h but
doesn't seem to be explicitly included from include/uapi/linux/in.h,
which breaks BPF selftests builds (once we sync linux/stddef.h into
tools/include directory in the next patch). Fix this by explicitly
including linux/stddef.h.

Given this affects BPF CI and bpf tree, targeting this for bpf tree.

IPPROTO_L2TP is currently defined in l2tp.h, but most of
ip protocols are defined in in.h file. Move it there in order
to keep code clean.

We now have a cleaner way to keep compatibility with user-space
(a.k.a. not breaking it) when we need to keep in place a one-element
array (for its use in user-space) together with a flexible-array
member (for its use in kernel-space) without making it hard to read
at the source level. This is through the use of the new
__DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro.

The size and memory layout of the structure is preserved after the
changes. See below.

Before changes:

$ pahole -C ip_msfilter net/ipv4/igmp.o
struct ip_msfilter {
	union {
		struct {
			__be32     imsf_multiaddr_aux;   /*     0     4 */
			__be32     imsf_interface_aux;   /*     4     4 */
			__u32      imsf_fmode_aux;       /*     8     4 */
			__u32      imsf_numsrc_aux;      /*    12     4 */
			__be32     imsf_slist[1];        /*    16     4 */
		};                                       /*     0    20 */
		struct {
			__be32     imsf_multiaddr;       /*     0     4 */
			__be32     imsf_interface;       /*     4     4 */
			__u32      imsf_fmode;           /*     8     4 */
			__u32      imsf_numsrc;          /*    12     4 */
			__be32     imsf_slist_flex[0];   /*    16     0 */
		};                                       /*     0    16 */
	};                                               /*     0    20 */

	/* size: 20, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 20 bytes */
};

After changes:

$ pahole -C ip_msfilter net/ipv4/igmp.o
struct ip_msfilter {
	__be32                     imsf_multiaddr;       /*     0     4 */
	__be32                     imsf_interface;       /*     4     4 */
	__u32                      imsf_fmode;           /*     8     4 */
	__u32                      imsf_numsrc;          /*    12     4 */
	union {
		__be32             imsf_slist[1];        /*    16     4 */
		struct {
			struct {
			} __empty_imsf_slist_flex;       /*    16     0 */
			__be32     imsf_slist_flex[0];   /*    16     0 */
		};                                       /*    16     0 */
	};                                               /*    16     4 */

	/* size: 20, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* last cacheline: 20 bytes */
};

In the past, we had to duplicate the whole original structure within
a union, and update the names of all the members. Now, we just need to
declare the flexible-array member to be used in kernel-space through
the __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper together with the one-element array,
within a union. This makes the source code more clean and easier to read.

<title>net/ipv4/ipv6: Replace one-element arraya with flexible-array members</title>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged and refactor the related code accordingly:

$ pahole -C group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct group_filter {
	union {
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface_aux;     /*     0     4 */

			/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux; /*     8   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode_aux;         /*   136     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc_aux;        /*   140     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1]; /*   144   128 */
		};                                       /*     0   272 */

	/* size: 272, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */

$ pahole -C compat_group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct compat_group_filter {

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*   140   128 */
		} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));                     /*     0   268 */

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

<title>net/ipv4: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member</title>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged:

$ pahole -C ip_msfilter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct ip_msfilter {
	union {
		struct {
			__be32     imsf_multiaddr_aux;   /*     0     4 */
			__be32     imsf_interface_aux;   /*     4     4 */
			__u32      imsf_fmode_aux;       /*     8     4 */
			__u32      imsf_numsrc_aux;      /*    12     4 */
			__be32     imsf_slist[1];        /*    16     4 */
		};                                       /*     0    20 */
		struct {
			__be32     imsf_multiaddr;       /*     0     4 */
			__be32     imsf_interface;       /*     4     4 */
			__u32      imsf_fmode;           /*     8     4 */
			__u32      imsf_numsrc;          /*    12     4 */
			__be32     imsf_slist_flex[0];   /*    16     0 */
		};                                       /*     0    16 */
	};                                               /*     0    20 */

	/* size: 20, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 20 bytes */
};

Also, refactor the code accordingly and make use of the struct_size()
and flex_array_size() helpers.

<title>icmp: don't send out ICMP messages with a source address of 0.0.0.0</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=321827477360934dc040e9d3c626bf1de6c3ab3c'/>
<id>321827477360934dc040e9d3c626bf1de6c3ab3c</id>
<content type='text'>
When constructing ICMP response messages, the kernel will try to pick a
suitable source address for the outgoing packet. However, if no IPv4
addresses are configured on the system at all, this will fail and we end up
producing an ICMP message with a source address of 0.0.0.0. This can happen
on a box routing IPv4 traffic via v6 nexthops, for instance.

Since 0.0.0.0 is not generally routable on the internet, there's a good
chance that such ICMP messages will never make it back to the sender of the
original packet that the ICMP message was sent in response to. This, in
turn, can create connectivity and PMTUd problems for senders. Fortunately,
RFC7600 reserves a dummy address to be used as a source for ICMP
messages (192.0.0.8/32), so let's teach the kernel to substitute that
address as a last resort if the regular source address selection procedure
fails.

Below is a quick example reproducing this issue with network namespaces:

ip netns add ns0
ip l add type veth peer netns ns0
ip l set dev veth0 up
ip a add 10.0.0.1/24 dev veth0
ip a add fc00:dead:cafe:42::1/64 dev veth0
ip r add 10.1.0.0/24 via inet6 fc00:dead:cafe:42::2
ip -n ns0 l set dev veth0 up
ip -n ns0 a add fc00:dead:cafe:42::2/64 dev veth0
ip -n ns0 r add 10.0.0.0/24 via inet6 fc00:dead:cafe:42::1
ip netns exec ns0 sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_ratelimit=0
ip netns exec ns0 sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
tcpdump -tpni veth0 -c 2 icmp &amp;
ping -w 1 10.1.0.1 &gt; /dev/null
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode
listening on veth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes
IP 10.0.0.1 &gt; 10.1.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 29, seq 1, length 64
IP 0.0.0.0 &gt; 10.0.0.1: ICMP net 10.1.0.1 unreachable, length 92
2 packets captured
2 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

With this patch the above capture changes to:
IP 10.0.0.1 &gt; 10.1.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 31127, seq 1, length 64
IP 192.0.0.8 &gt; 10.0.0.1: ICMP net 10.1.0.1 unreachable, length 92

<title>icmp: support rfc 4884</title>

<content type='text'>
Add setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_4884 to return the offset to an
extension struct if present.

ICMP messages may include an extension structure after the original
datagram. RFC 4884 standardized this behavior. It stores the offset
in words to the extension header in u8 icmphdr.un.reserved[1].

The field is valid only for ICMP types destination unreachable, time
exceeded and parameter problem, if length is at least 128 bytes and
entire packet does not exceed 576 bytes.

Return the offset to the start of the extension struct when reading an
ICMP error from the error queue, if it matches the above constraints.

Do not return the raw u8 field. Return the offset from the start of
the user buffer, in bytes. The kernel does not return the network and
transport headers, so subtract those.

Also validate the headers. Return the offset regardless of validation,
as an invalid extension must still not be misinterpreted as part of
the original datagram. Note that !invalid does not imply valid. If
the extension version does not match, no validation can take place,
for instance.

For backward compatibility, make this optional, set by setsockopt
SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_RFC4884. For API example and feature test, see
github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/recv_icmp_v2.c

For forward compatibility, reserve only setsockopt value 1, leaving
other bits for additional icmp extensions.

Changes
  v1-&gt;v2:
  - convert word offset to byte offset from start of user buffer
    - return in ee_data as u8 may be insufficient
  - define extension struct and object header structs
  - return len only if constraints met
  - if returning len, also validate

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has recently assigned
a protocol number value of 143 for Ethernet [1].

Before this assignment, encapsulation mechanisms such as Segment Routing
used the IPv6-NoNxt protocol number (59) to indicate that the encapsulated
payload is an Ethernet frame.

In this patch, we add the definition of the Ethernet protocol number to the
kernel headers and update the SRv6 L2 tunnels to use it.

To open a MPTCP socket with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP),
IPPROTO_MPTCP needs a value that differs from IPPROTO_TCP. The existing
IPPROTO numbers mostly map directly to IANA-specified protocol numbers.
MPTCP does not have a protocol number allocated because MPTCP packets
use the TCP protocol number. Use private number not used OTA.
