/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters.

Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size
of "unsigned long" in kernel.

This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to
deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit.

This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some
counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide.

# netstat -s|egrep "InOctets|OutOctets"
    InOctets: 244068329096
    OutOctets: 244069348848

<title>ipv4: add LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER snmp counter</title>

Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.

This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.

(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)

netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
    IPReversePathFilter: 21714

<title>tcp: Add SNMP counter for DEFER_ACCEPT</title>

Its currently hard to diagnose when ACK frames are dropped because an
application set TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on its listening socket.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15507

This patch adds a SNMP value, named TCPDeferAcceptDrop

netstat -s | grep TCPDeferAcceptDrop
    TCPDeferAcceptDrop: 0

This counter is incremented every time we drop a pure ACK frame received
by a socket in SYN_RECV state because its SYNACK retrans count is lower
than defer_accept value.

Commit 6b03a53a (tcp: use limited socket backlog) added the possibility
of dropping frames when backlog queue is full.

Commit d218d111 (tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism) added the
possibility of dropping frames when TTL is under a given limit.

This patch adds new SNMP MIB entries, named TCPBacklogDrop and
TCPMinTTLDrop, published in /proc/net/netstat in TcpExt: line

<title>percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to net</title>

<content type='text'>
Add __percpu sparse annotations to net.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit
interesting.  DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field
as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly.  All
snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are
updated to cast it to (void __percpu **).

<title>snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293</title>

<content type='text'>
The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and
OutMcastOctets:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293
But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other
protocols.  This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested
successfully by me

With help from Eric Dumazet.

When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.
