netfilter: nf_tables: Extend nft_expr_ops::dump callback parameters

Add a 'reset' flag just like with nft_object_ops::dump. This will be
useful to reset "anonymous stateful objects", e.g. simple rule counters.

No functional change intended.

netfilter: nft_meta: add inner match support

Add support for inner meta matching on:

- NFT_META_PROTOCOL: to match on the ethertype, this can be used
regardless tunnel protocol provides no link layer header, in that case
nft_inner sets on the ethertype based on the IP header version field.
- NFT_META_L4PROTO: to match on the layer 4 protocol.

These meta expression are usually autogenerated as dependencies by
userspace nftables.

netfilter: nf_tables: cancel tracking for clobbered destination registers

Output of expressions might be larger than one single register, this might
clobber existing data. Reset tracking for all destination registers that
required to store the expression output.

This patch adds three new helper functions:

- nft_reg_track_update: cancel previous register tracking and update it.
- nft_reg_track_cancel: cancel any previous register tracking info.
- __nft_reg_track_cancel: cancel only one single register tracking info.

Partial register clobbering detection is also supported by checking the
.num_reg field which describes the number of register that are used.

This patch updates the following expressions:

- meta_bridge
- bitwise
- byteorder
- meta
- payload

to use these helper functions.

netfilter: merge meta_bridge into nft_meta

It overcomplicates things for no reason.
nft_meta_bridge only offers retrieval of bridge port interface name.

Because of this being its own module, we had to export all nft_meta
functions, which we can then make static again (which even reduces
the size of nft_meta -- including bridge port retrieval...):

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: nft_meta: improve the validity check of pkttype set expr

"meta pkttype set" is only supported on prerouting chain with bridge
family and ingress chain with netdev family.

But the validate check is incomplete, and the user can add the nft
rules on input chain with bridge family, for example:
# nft add table bridge filter
# nft add chain bridge filter input {type filter hook input \
priority 0 \;}
# nft add chain bridge filter test
# nft add rule bridge filter test meta pkttype set unicast
# nft add rule bridge filter input jump test

This patch fixes the problem.

netfilter: nf_tables: wrap tracing with a static key

Only needed when meta nftrace rule(s) were added.
The assumption is that no such rules are active, so the call to
nft_trace_init is "never" needed.

When nftrace rules are active, we always call the nft_trace_* functions,
but will only send netlink messages when all of the following are true:

- traceinfo structure was initialised
- skb->nf_trace == 1
- at least one subscriber to trace group.

Adding an extra conditional
(static_branch ... && skb->nf_trace)
nft_trace_init( ..)

Is possible but results in a larger nft_do_chain footprint.

netfilter: nf_tables: get rid of NFT_REG_VERDICT usage

Replace the array of registers passed to expressions by a struct nft_regs,
containing the verdict as a seperate member, which aliases to the
NFT_REG_VERDICT register.

This is needed to seperate the verdict from the data registers completely,
so their size can be changed.
