<content type='text'>
Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker
can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps,
directly revealing server jiffies value.

Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary
depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS
drops for innocent clients.

Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies.

Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not
used from a module.

In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to
tcp_get_cookie_sock().

v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.

Fixes: 95a22caee396c ("tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection")

<title>syncookies: use SipHash in place of SHA1</title>

<content type='text'>
SHA1 is slower and less secure than SipHash, and so replacing syncookie
generation with SipHash makes natural sense. Some BSDs have been doing
this for several years in fact.

The speedup should be similar -- and even more impressive -- to the
speedup from the sequence number fix in this series.

<title>tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection</title>

<content type='text'>
jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices
behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler.

commit ceaa1fef65a7c2e ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset")
added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts
randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header
format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal
tcp_time_stamp (jiffies).

So only two items are left:
 - add a tsoffset for request sockets
 - extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
   in addition to the ISN.

Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically
increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work.

Includes fixes from Eric Dumazet.

<title>net: inet: Support UID-based routing in IP protocols.</title>

- Use the UID in routing lookups made by protocol connect() and
  sendmsg() functions.
- Make sure that routing lookups triggered by incoming packets
  (e.g., Path MTU discovery) take the UID of the socket into
  account.
- For packets not associated with a userspace socket, (e.g., ping
  replies) use UID 0 inside the user namespace corresponding to
  the network namespace the socket belongs to. This allows
  all namespaces to apply routing and iptables rules to
  kernel-originated traffic in that namespaces by matching UID 0.
  This is better than using the UID of the kernel socket that is
  sending the traffic, because the UID of kernel sockets created
  at namespace creation time (e.g., the per-processor ICMP and
  TCP sockets) is the UID of the user that created the socket,
  which might not be mapped in the namespace.

 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the
l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added
to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and
sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept.

This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket,
with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated.
A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks
is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3
domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev
domain provides a complete solution.

Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages
matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under
normal operations, but definitely can happen.

Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur.

To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in
inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same
ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child.

If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation.

This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in
reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path.

Fixes: e994b2f0fb92 ("tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets")
Fixes: 079096f103fa ("tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table")
