Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.

The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call.  This takes no parameters.

When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt.  If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.

Note that:

 (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server

 (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
     are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.

 (3) This should only be used to probe the service.  Clients should then
     use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
     server (and not set the upgrade).  Note that the kernel will not
     retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.

 (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
     whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
     OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
     server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.

     At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.

<title>rxrpc: Trace protocol errors in received packets</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a tracepoint (rxrpc_rx_proto) to record protocol errors in received
packets.  The following changes are made:

 (1) Add a function, __rxrpc_abort_eproto(), to note a protocol error on a
     call and mark the call aborted.  This is wrapped by
     rxrpc_abort_eproto() that makes the why string usable in trace.

 (2) Add trace_rxrpc_rx_proto() or rxrpc_abort_eproto() to protocol error
     generation points, replacing rxrpc_abort_call() with the latter.

 (3) Only send an abort packet in rxkad_verify_packet*() if we actually
     managed to abort the call.

Note that a trace event is also emitted if a kernel user (e.g. afs) tries
to send data through a call when it's not in the transmission phase, though
it's not technically a receive event.

Use negative error codes in struct rxrpc_call::error because that's what
the kernel normally deals with and to make the code consistent.  We only
turn them positive when transcribing into a cmsg for userspace recvmsg.

<title>rxrpc: Wake up the transmitter if Rx window size increases on the peer</title>

<id>702f2ac87a9a8da23bf8506466bc70175fc970b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The RxRPC ACK packet may contain an extension that includes the peer's
current Rx window size for this call.  We adjust the local Tx window size
to match.  However, the transmitter can stall if the receive window is
reduced to 0 by the peer and then reopened.

This is because the normal way that the transmitter is re-energised is by
dropping something out of our Tx queue and thus making space.  When a
single gap is made, the transmitter is woken up.  However, because there's
nothing in the Tx queue at this point, this doesn't happen.

To fix this, perform a wake_up() any time we see the peer's Rx window size
increasing.

The observable symptom is that calls start failing on ETIMEDOUT and the
following:

	kAFS: SERVER DEAD state=-62

appears in dmesg.

<title>rxrpc: Fix deadlock between call creation and sendmsg/recvmsg</title>

<id>540b1c48c37ac0ad66212004db21e1ff7e2d78be</id>
<content type='text'>
All the routines by which rxrpc is accessed from the outside are serialised
by means of the socket lock (sendmsg, recvmsg, bind,
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(), ...) and this presents a problem:

 (1) If a number of calls on the same socket are in the process of
     connection to the same peer, a maximum of four concurrent live calls
     are permitted before further calls need to wait for a slot.

 (2) If a call is waiting for a slot, it is deep inside sendmsg() or
     rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and the entry function is holding the socket
     lock.

 (3) sendmsg() and recvmsg() or the in-kernel equivalents are prevented
     from servicing the other calls as they need to take the socket lock to
     do so.

 (4) The socket is stuck until a call is aborted and makes its slot
     available to the waiter.

Fix this by:

 (1) Provide each call with a mutex ('user_mutex') that arbitrates access
     by the users of rxrpc separately for each specific call.

 (2) Make rxrpc_sendmsg() and rxrpc_recvmsg() unlock the socket as soon as
     they've got a call and taken its mutex.

     Note that I'm returning EWOULDBLOCK from recvmsg() if MSG_DONTWAIT is
     set but someone else has the lock.  Should I instead only return
     EWOULDBLOCK if there's nothing currently to be done on a socket, and
     sleep in this particular instance because there is something to be
     done, but we appear to be blocked by the interrupt handler doing its
     ping?

 (3) Make rxrpc_new_client_call() unlock the socket after allocating a new
     call, locking its user mutex and adding it to the socket's call tree.
     The call is returned locked so that sendmsg() can add data to it
     immediately.

     From the moment the call is in the socket tree, it is subject to
     access by sendmsg() and recvmsg() - even if it isn't connected yet.

 (4) Lock new service calls in the UDP data_ready handler (in
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call()) because they may already be in the socket's
     tree and the data_ready handler makes them live immediately if a user
     ID has already been preassigned.

     Note that the new call is locked before any notifications are sent
     that it is live, so doing mutex_trylock() *ought* to always succeed.
     Userspace is prevented from doing sendmsg() on calls that are in a
     too-early state in rxrpc_do_sendmsg().

 (5) Make rxrpc_new_incoming_call() return the call with the user mutex
     held so that a ping can be scheduled immediately under it.

     Note that it might be worth moving the ping call into
     rxrpc_new_incoming_call() and then we can drop the mutex there.

 (6) Make rxrpc_accept_call() take the lock on the call it is accepting and
     release the socket after adding the call to the socket's tree.  This
     is slightly tricky as we've dequeued the call by that point and have
     to requeue it.

     Note that requeuing emits a trace event.

 (7) Make rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() take the
     new mutex immediately and don't bother with the socket mutex at all.

This patch has the nice bonus that calls on the same socket are now to some
extent parallelisable.

Note that we might want to move rxrpc_service_prealloc() calls out from the
socket lock and give it its own lock, so that we don't hang progress in
other calls because we're waiting for the allocator.

We probably also want to avoid calling rxrpc_notify_socket() from within
the socket lock (rxrpc_accept_call()).

     this is varied by the slow-start algorithm.

 (2) Modify the rxrpc_rx_ack tracepoint to record more information from
     received ACK packets.

 (3) Add an rxrpc_rx_data tracepoint to record the information in DATA

 (4) Add an rxrpc_disconnect_call tracepoint to record call disconnection,
     including the reason the call was disconnected.

 (5) Add an rxrpc_improper_term tracepoint to record implicit termination
     of a call by a client either by starting a new call on a particular
     connection channel without first transmitting the final ACK for the
     previous call.

Fix the way enum values are translated into strings in AF_RXRPC
tracepoints.  The problem with just doing a lookup in a normal flat array
of strings or chars is that external tracing infrastructure can't find it.
Rather, TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM must be used.

Also sort the enums and string tables to make it easier to keep them in
order so that a future patch to __print_symbolic() can be optimised to try
a direct lookup into the table first before iterating over it.

A couple of _proto() macro calls are removed because they refered to tables
that got moved to the tracing infrastructure.  The relevant data can be
found by way of tracing.
