net: tipc: remove redundant 'bool' from CONFIG_TIPC_{MEDIA_UDP,CRYPTO}

The 'bool' is already specified for these options.

The second 'bool' under the help message is redundant.

While I am here, I moved 'default y' above, as it is common to place
the help text last.

tipc: not enable tipc when ipv6 works as a module

When using ipv6_dev_find() in one module, it requires ipv6 not to
work as a module. Otherwise, this error occurs in build:

undefined reference to `ipv6_dev_find'.

So fix it by adding "depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n" to tipc/Kconfig,
as it does in sctp/Kconfig.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

tipc: introduce TIPC encryption & authentication

This commit offers an option to encrypt and authenticate all messaging,
including the neighbor discovery messages. The currently most advanced
algorithm supported is the AEAD AES-GCM (like IPSec or TLS). All
encryption/decryption is done at the bearer layer, just before leaving
or after entering TIPC.

Supported features:
- Encryption & authentication of all TIPC messages (header + data);
- Two symmetric-key modes: Cluster and Per-node;
- Automatic key switching;
- Key-expired revoking (sequence number wrapped);
- Lock-free encryption/decryption (RCU);
- Asynchronous crypto, Intel AES-NI supported;
- Multiple cipher transforms;
- Logs & statistics;

Two key modes:
- Cluster key mode: One single key is used for both TX & RX in all
nodes in the cluster.
- Per-node key mode: Each nodes in the cluster has one specific TX key.
For RX, a node requires its peers' TX key to be able to decrypt the
messages from those peers.

Key setting from user-space is performed via netlink by a user program
(e.g. the iproute2 'tipc' tool).

Internal key state machine:

Attach Align(RX)
+-+ +-+
| V | V
+---------+ Attach +---------+
| IDLE |---------------->| PENDING |(user = 0)
+---------+ +---------+
A A Switch| A
| | | |
| | Free(switch/revoked) | |
(Free)| +----------------------+ | |Timeout
| (TX) | | |(RX)
| | | |
| | v |
+---------+ Switch +---------+
| PASSIVE |<----------------| ACTIVE |
+---------+ (RX) +---------+
(user = 1) (user >= 1)

The number of TFMs is 10 by default and can be changed via the procfs
'net/tipc/max_tfms'. At this moment, as for simplicity, this file is
also used to print the crypto statistics at runtime:

echo 0xfff1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/max_tfms

The patch defines a new TIPC version (v7) for the encryption message (-
backward compatibility as well). The message is basically encapsulated
as follows:

+----------------------------------------------------------+
| TIPCv7 encryption | Original TIPCv2 | Authentication |
| header | packet (encrypted) | Tag |
+----------------------------------------------------------+

The throughput is about ~40% for small messages (compared with non-
encryption) and ~9% for large messages. With the support from hardware
crypto i.e. the Intel AES-NI CPU instructions, the throughput increases
upto ~85% for small messages and ~55% for large messages.

By default, the new feature is inactive (i.e. no encryption) until user
sets a key for TIPC. There is however also a new option - "TIPC_CRYPTO"
in the kernel configuration to enable/disable the new code when needed.

docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

tipc: implement socket diagnostics for AF_TIPC

This commit adds socket diagnostics capability for AF_TIPC in netlink
family NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG in a new kernel module (diag.ko).

The following are key design considerations:
- config TIPC_DIAG has default y, like INET_DIAG.
- only requests with flag NLM_F_DUMP is supported (dump all).
- tipc_sock_diag_req message is introduced to send filter parameters.
- the response attributes are of TLV, some nested.

To avoid exposing data structures between diag and tipc modules and
avoid code duplication, the following additions are required:
- export tipc_nl_sk_walk function to reuse socket iterator.
- export tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill the tipc diag attributes.
- create a sock_diag response message in __tipc_add_sock_diag defined
in diag.c and use the above exported tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag
to fill response.

tipc: add ip/udp media type

The ip/udp bearer can be configured in a point-to-point
mode by specifying both local and remote ip/hostname,
or it can be enabled in multicast mode, where links are
established to all tipc nodes that have joined the same
multicast group. The multicast IP address is generated
based on the TIPC network ID, but can be overridden by
using another multicast address as remote ip.

tipc: convert tipc reference table to use generic rhashtable

As tipc reference table is statically allocated, its memory size
requested on stack initialization stage is quite big even if the
maximum port number is just restricted to 8191 currently, however,
the number already becomes insufficient in practice. But if the
maximum ports is allowed to its theory value - 2^32, its consumed
memory size will reach a ridiculously unacceptable value. Apart from
this, heavy tipc users spend a considerable amount of time in
tipc_sk_get() due to the read-lock on ref_table_lock.

If tipc reference table is converted with generic rhashtable, above
mentioned both disadvantages would be resolved respectively: making
use of the new resizable hash table can avoid locking on the lookup;
smaller memory size is required at initial stage, for example, 256
hash bucket slots are requested at the beginning phase instead of
allocating the entire 8191 slots in old mode. The hash table will
grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size
of 1M, and it will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%,
but the minimum table size is allowed down to 256.

Also converts ref_table_lock to a separate mutex to protect hash table
mutations on write side. Lastly defers the release of the socket
reference using call_rcu() to allow using an RCU read-side protected
call to rhashtable_lookup().

tipc: add InfiniBand media type

Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type.

The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire
20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is
not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

tipc: delete TIPC_ADVANCED Kconfig variable

There used to be a time when TIPC had lots of Kconfig knobs the
end user could alter, but they have all been made automatic or
obsolete, with the exception of CONFIG_TIPC_PORTS. This
previously existing set of options was all hidden under the
TIPC_ADVANCED setting, which does not exist in any code, but
only in Kconfig scope.

Having this now, just to hide the one remaining "advanced"
option no longer makes sense. Remove it. Also get rid of the
ifdeffery in the TIPC code that allowed for TIPC_PORTS to be
possibly undefined.

tipc: remove print_buf and deprecated log buffer code

The internal log buffer handling functions can now safely be
removed since there is no code using it anymore. Requests to
interact with the internal tipc log buffer over netlink (in
config.c) will report 'obsolete command'.

This represents the final removal of any references to a
struct print_buf, and the removal of the struct itself.
We also get rid of a TIPC specific Kconfig in the process.

Finally, log.h is removed since it is not needed anymore.

tipc: Eliminate configuration for maximum number of cluster nodes

Gets rid of the need for users to specify the maximum number of
cluster nodes supported by TIPC. TIPC now automatically provides
support for all 4K nodes allowed by its addressing scheme.

Note: This change sets TIPC's memory usage to the amount used by
a maximum size node table with 4K entries. An upcoming patch that
converts the node table from a linear array to a hash table will
compact the node table to a more efficient design, but for clarity
it is nice to have all the Kconfig infrastruture go away separately.
