tools: ynl: check for overflow of constructed messages

Donald points out that we don't check for overflows.
Stash the length of the message on nlmsg_pid (nlmsg_seq would
do as well). This allows the attribute helpers to remain
self-contained (no extra arguments). Also let the put
helpers continue to return nothing. The error is checked
only in (newly introduced) ynl_msg_end().

tools: ynl: use MSG_DONTWAIT for getting notifications

To stick to libmnl wrappers in the past we had to use poll()
to check if there are any outstanding notifications on the socket.
This is no longer necessary, we can use MSG_DONTWAIT.

tools: ynl: stop using mnl_cb_run2()

There's only one set of callbacks in YNL, for netlink control
messages, and most of them are trivial. So implement the message
walking directly without depending on mnl_cb_run2().

tools: ynl: use ynl_sock_read_msgs() for ACK handling

ynl_recv_ack() is simple and it's the only user of mnl_cb_run().
Now that ynl_sock_read_msgs() exists it's actually less code
to use ynl_sock_read_msgs() instead of being special.

# 2f22f0b3 27-Feb-2024 Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

tools: ynl: wrap recv() + mnl_cb_run2() into a single helper

All callers to mnl_cb_run2() call mnl_socket_recvfrom() right before.
Wrap the two in a helper, take typed arguments (struct ynl_parse_arg),
instead of hoping that all callers remember that parser error handling
requires yarg.

In case of ynl_sock_read_family() we will no longer check for kernel
returning no data, but that would be a kernel bug, not worth complicating
the code to catch this. Calling mnl_cb_run2() on an empty buffer
is legal and results in STOP (1).

tools: ynl: make yarg the first member of struct ynl_dump_state

All YNL parsing code expects a pointer to struct ynl_parse_arg AKA yarg.
For dump was pass in struct ynl_dump_state, which works fine, because
struct ynl_dump_state and struct ynl_parse_arg have identical layout
for the members that matter.. but it's a bit hacky.

tools: ynl: create local attribute helpers

Don't use mnl attr helpers, we're trying to remove the libmnl

had unsigned helpers, so code generator no longer needs
the mnl_type() hack.

The new helpers are written from first principles, but are
hopefully not too buggy.

tools: ynl: fix handling of multiple mcast groups

We never increment the group number iterator, so all groups
get recorded into index 0 of the mcast_groups[] array.

As a result YNL can only handle using the last group.
For example using the "netdev" sample on kernel with
page pool commands results in:

$ ./samples/netdev
YNL: Multicast group 'mgmt' not found

Most families have only one multicast group, so this hasn't
been noticed. Plus perhaps developers usually test the last
group which would have worked.

This is part of the ynl_sock_create() error path, so we won't
get a call to ynl_sock_destroy() to free them later.

tools: ynl: make sure we always pass yarg to mnl_cb_run

There is one common error handler in ynl - ynl_cb_error().
It expects priv to be a pointer to struct ynl_parse_arg AKA yarg.
To avoid potential crashes if we encounter a stray NLMSG_ERROR
always pass yarg as priv (or a struct which has it as the first
member).

ynl_cb_null() has a similar problem directly - it expects yarg
but priv passed by the caller is ys.

Found by code inspection.
