mac80211: Restore rx.fc before every invocation of ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers
This patch fixes a problem with rx handling on multiple interfaces. Especially
when using hardware-scanning and a wireless driver (i.e. iwlwifi) which is
able to receive data while scanning.
The rx handlers can modify the skb and the frame control field (see
ieee80211_rx_h_remove_qos_control) but since every interface gets its own
copy of the skb each should get its own copy of rx.fc too.
In my case the wlan0-interface did not remove the qos-control from the frame
because the corresponding flag in rx.fc was already removed while processing
the frame on the master interface. Therefore somehow corrupted frames were
passed to the userspace.

[LIB] pcounter : unline too big functions
Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments.
Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions.

we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function
using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... )
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values);
static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter *self, int val)

}
static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu)
{

[TCP]: Force TSO splits to MSS boundaries
If snd_wnd - snd_nxt wasn't multiple of MSS, skb was split on
odd boundary by the callers of tcp_window_allows.
We try really hard to avoid unnecessary modulos. Therefore the
old caller side check "if (skb->len < limit)" was too wide as
well because limit is not bound in any way to skb->len and can
cause spurious testing for trimming in the middle of the queue
while we only wanted that to happen at the tail of the queue.
A simple additional caller side check for tcp_write_queue_tail
would likely have resulted 2 x modulos because the limit would
have to be first calculated from window, however, doing that
unnecessary modulo is not mandatory. After a minor change to
the algorithm, simply determine first if the modulo is needed
at all and at that point immediately decide also from which
value it should be calculated from.

[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network namespaces
I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.
However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.
So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.
I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good
enough for now.
I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.

[XFRM]: Drop packets when replay counter would overflow
According to RFC4303, section 3.3.3 we need to drop outgoing packets which
cause the replay counter to overflow:
3.3.3. Sequence Number Generation
The sender's counter is initialized to 0 when an SA is established.
The sender increments the sequence number (or ESN) counter for this
SA and inserts the low-order 32 bits of the value into the Sequence
Number field. Thus, the first packet sent using a given SA will
contain a sequence number of 1.
If anti-replay is enabled (the default), the sender checks to ensure
that the counter has not cycled before inserting the new value in the
Sequence Number field. In other words, the sender MUST NOT send a
packet on an SA if doing so would cause the sequence number to cycle.
An attempt to transmit a packet that would result in sequence number
overflow is an auditable event. The audit log entry for this event
SHOULD include the SPI value, current date/time, Source Address,
Destination Address, and (in IPv6) the cleartext Flow ID.

rc80211-pid: add debugging
This adds a new debugfs file from which rate control relevant events can be
read one event per line. The output includes the current time, so graphs can be
created showing the rate control parameters. This helps in evaluating and
tuning rate control parameters. While at it, we split headers and code for
better readability.

rc80211-pid: add sharpening factor
This patch introduces a PID sharpening factor for faster response after
association and low activity events.

This patch introduces a learning algorithm in order for the PID controller
to learn how to map adjustment values to rates. This is better described in
code comments.

mac80211: make PID rate control algorithm the default
This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.
The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.
While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

[XFRM]: Assorted IPsec fixups
This patch fixes a number of small but potentially troublesome things in the
XFRM/IPsec code:
* Use the 'audit_enabled' variable already in include/linux/audit.h
Removed the need for extern declarations local to each XFRM audit fuction
* Convert 'sid' to 'secid' everywhere we can
The 'sid' name is specific to SELinux, 'secid' is the common naming
convention used by the kernel when refering to tokenized LSM labels,
unfortunately we have to leave 'ctx_sid' in 'struct xfrm_sec_ctx' otherwise
we risk breaking userspace
* Convert address display to use standard NIP* macros
Similar to what was recently done with the SPD audit code, this also also
includes the removal of some unnecessary memcpy() calls
* Move common code to xfrm_audit_common_stateinfo()
Code consolidation from the "less is more" book on software development
* Proper spacing around commas in function arguments
Minor style tweak since I was already touching the code
