netfilter: remove CONFIG_NETFILTER checks from headers.

`struct nf_hook_ops`, `struct nf_hook_state` and the `nf_hookfn`
function typedef appear in function and struct declarations and
definitions in a number of netfilter headers. The structs and typedef
themselves are defined by linux/netfilter.h but only when
CONFIG_NETFILTER is enabled. Define them unconditionally and add
forward declarations in order to remove CONFIG_NETFILTER conditionals
from the other headers.

netfilter: br_netfilter: update stub br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6 parameter to `void *priv`.

The real br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6 function, defined when CONFIG_IPV6 is
enabled, expects `void *priv`, not `const struct nf_hook_ops *ops`.
Update the stub br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6, defined when CONFIG_IPV6 is
disabled, to match.

netfilter: add missing IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NETFILTER) checks to some header-files.

linux/netfilter.h defines a number of struct and inline function
definitions which are only available is CONFIG_NETFILTER is enabled.
These structs and functions are used in declarations and definitions in
other header-files. Added preprocessor checks to make sure these
headers will compile if CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled.

netfilter: physdev: relax br_netfilter dependency

Following command:
iptables -D FORWARD -m physdev ...
causes connectivity loss in some setups.

Reason is that iptables userspace will probe kernel for the module revision
of the physdev patch, and physdev has an artificial dependency on
br_netfilter (xt_physdev use makes no sense unless a br_netfilter module
is loaded).

This causes the "phydev" module to be loaded, which in turn enables the
"call-iptables" infrastructure.

bridged packets might then get dropped by the iptables ruleset.

The better fix would be to change the "call-iptables" defaults to 0 and
enforce explicit setting to 1, but that breaks backwards compatibility.

This does the next best thing: add a request_module call to checkentry.
This was a stray '-D ... -m physdev' won't activate br_netfilter
anymore.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

netfilter: bridge: add and use br_nf_hook_thresh

This replaces the last uses of NF_HOOK_THRESH().
Followup patch will remove it and rename nf_hook_thresh.

The reason is that inet (non-bridge) netfilter no longer invokes the
hooks from hooks, so we do no longer need the thresh value to skip hooks
with a lower priority.

The bridge netfilter however may need to do this. br_nf_hook_thresh is a
wrapper that is supposed to do this, i.e. only call hooks with a
priority that exceeds NF_BR_PRI_BRNF.

It's used only in the recursion cases of br_netfilter. It invokes
nf_hook_slow while holding an rcu read-side critical section to make a
future cleanup simpler.

# 0c4b51f0 15-Sep-2015 Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

netfilter: Pass net into okfn

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

netfilter: bridge: fix IPv6 packets not being bridged with CONFIG_IPV6=n

230ac490f7fba introduced a dependency to CONFIG_IPV6 which breaks bridging
of IPv6 packets on a bridge with CONFIG_IPV6=n.

Sysctl entry /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-ip6tables defaults to 1,
for this reason packets are handled by br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6(). When compiled
with CONFIG_IPV6=n this function returns NF_DROP but should return NF_ACCEPT
to let packets through.

Change CONFIG_IPV6=n br_nf_pre_routing_ipv6() return value to NF_ACCEPT.

Tested with a simple bridge with two interfaces and IPv6 packets trying
to pass from host on left side to host on right side of the bridge.

netfilter: explicit module dependency between br_netfilter and physdev

You can use physdev to match the physical interface enslaved to the
bridge device. This information is stored in skb->nf_bridge and it is
set up by br_netfilter. So, this is only available when iptables is
used from the bridge netfilter path.

Since 34666d4 ("netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core"),
the br_netfilter code is modular. To reduce the impact of this change,
we can autoload the br_netfilter if the physdev match is used since
we assume that the users need br_netfilter in place.
