Since fab4085 ("netfilter: log: nf_log_packet() as real unified
interface"), the loginfo structure that is passed to nf_log_packet() is
used to explicitly indicate the logger type you want to use.
This is a problem for people tracing rules through nfnetlink_log since
packets are always routed to the NF_LOG_TYPE logger after the
aforementioned patch.
We can fix this by removing the trace loginfo structures, but that still
changes the log level from 4 to 5 for tracing messages and there may be
someone relying on this outthere. So let's just introduce a new
nf_log_trace() function that restores the former behaviour.

This adds the generic plain text packet loggger for bridged packets.
It routes the logging message to the real protocol packet logger.
I decided not to refactor the ebt_log code for two reasons:
1) The ebt_log output is not consistent with the IPv4 and IPv6
Netfilter packet loggers. The output is different for no good
reason and it adds redundant code to handle packet logging.
2) To avoid breaking backward compatibility for applications
outthere that are parsing the specific ebt_log output, the ebt_log
output has been left as is. So only nftables will use the new
consistent logging format for logged bridged packets.
More decisions coming in this patch:
1) This also removes ebt_log as default logger for bridged packets.
Thus, nf_log_packet() routes packet to this new packet logger
instead. This doesn't break backward compatibility since
nf_log_packet() is not used to log packets in plain text format
from anywhere in the ebtables/netfilter bridge code.
2) The new bridge packet logger also performs a lazy request to
register the real IPv4, ARP and IPv6 netfilter packet loggers.
If the real protocol logger is no available (not compiled or the
module is not available in the system, not packet logging happens.

Before this patch, the nf_loginfo parameter specified the logging
configuration in case the specified default logger was loaded. This
patch updates the semantics of the nf_loginfo parameter in
nf_log_packet() which now indicates the logger that you explicitly
want to use.
Thus, nf_log_packet() is exposed as an unified interface which
internally routes the log message to the corresponding logger type
by family.
The module dependencies are expressed by the new nf_logger_find_get()
and nf_logger_put() functions which bump the logger module refcount.
Thus, you can not remove logger modules that are used by rules anymore.
Another important effect of this change is that the family specific
module is only loaded when required. Therefore, xt_LOG and nft_log
will just trigger the autoload of the nf_log_{ip,ip6} modules
according to the family.

The plain text logging is currently embedded into the xt_LOG target.
In order to be able to use the plain text logging from nft_log, as a
first step, this patch moves the family specific code to the following
files and Kconfig symbols:
1) net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_log_ip.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV4
2) net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_log_ip6.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV6
3) net/netfilter/nf_log_common.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_COMMON
These new modules will be required by xt_LOG and nft_log. This patch
is based on original patch from Arturo Borrero Gonzalez.

This patch moves Eric Dumazet's log buffer implementation from the
xt_log.h header file to the core net/netfilter/nf_log.c. This also
includes the renaming of the structure and functions to avoid possible
undesired namespace clashes.
This change allows us to use it from the arp and bridge packet logging
implementation in follow up patches.
Now that legacy ulog targets are not available anymore in the tree, we
can have up to two possible loggers:
1) The plain text logging via kernel logging ring.
2) The nfnetlink_log infrastructure which delivers log messages
to userspace.
This patch replaces the list of loggers by an array of two pointers
per family for each possible logger and it also introduces a new field
to the nf_logger structure which indicates the position in the logger
array (based on the logger type).
This prepares a follow up patch that consolidates the nf_log_packet()
interface by allowing to specify the logger as parameter.

Since (69b34fb netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support
for xt_LOG), we hit this:
[ 4224.708977] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000388
[ 4224.709074] IP: [<ffffffff8147f699>] ipt_log_packet+0x29/0x270
when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.
Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

This patch adds netns support to nf_log and it prepares netns
support for existing loggers. It is composed of four major
changes.
1) nf_log_register has been split to two functions: nf_log_register
and nf_log_set. The new nf_log_register is used to globally
register the nf_logger and nf_log_set is used for enabling
pernet support from nf_loggers.
Per netns is not yet complete after this patch, it comes in
separate follow up patches.
2) Add net as a parameter of nf_log_bind_pf. Per netns is not
yet complete after this patch, it only allows to bind the
nf_logger to the protocol family from init_net and it skips
other cases.
3) Adapt all nf_log_packet callers to pass netns as parameter.
After this patch, this function only works for init_net.
4) Make the sysctl net/netfilter/nf_log pernet.

This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.
This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.
