Split the xt_compat_match/xt_compat_target into smaller type-safe functions
performing just one operation. Handle all alignment and size-related
conversions centrally in these function instead of requiring each module to
implement a full-blown conversion function. Replace ->compat callback by
->compat_from_user and ->compat_to_user callbacks, responsible for
converting just a single private structure.

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:
sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))
ipt_standard_target looks like this:
struct xt_standard_target
{
struct xt_entry_target target;
int verdict;
};
xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.
Thanks to Linus for lots of debugging help and testing.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net

This patch extends current iptables compatibility layer in order to get

Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and
`fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function.
Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes
ctags rather useless.
So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and
$(filename)_fini.

netfilter's do_replace() can overflow on addition within SMP_ALIGN()
and/or on multiplication by NR_CPUS, resulting in a buffer overflow on
the copy_from_user(). In practice, the overflow on addition is
triggerable on all systems, whereas the multiplication one might require
much physical memory to be present due to the check above. Either is
sufficient to overwrite arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.
I really hate adding the same check to all 4 versions of do_replace(),
but the code is duplicate...

This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.
o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers
Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

Part of a performance problem with ip_tables is that memory allocation
is not NUMA aware, but 'only' SMP aware (ie each CPU normally touch
separate cache lines)
Even with small iptables rules, the cost of this misplacement can be
high on common workloads. Instead of using one vmalloc() area
(located in the node of the iptables process), we now allocate an area
for each possible CPU, using vmalloc_node() so that memory should be
allocated in the CPU's node if possible.

Original patch by Harald Welte, with feedback from Herbert Xu
and testing by Sbastien Bernard.
EBTABLES, ARP tables, and IP/IP6 tables all assume that cpus
are numbered linearly. That is not necessarily true.
This patch fixes that up by calculating the largest possible
cpu number, and allocating enough per-cpu structure space given
that.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
