Eric Dumazet 45af29ca76 tcp: allow traceroute -Mtcp for unpriv users
Unpriv users can use traceroute over plain UDP sockets, but not TCP ones.

$ traceroute -Mtcp 8.8.8.8
You do not have enough privileges to use this traceroute method.

$ traceroute -n -Mudp 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

We can easily support traceroute over TCP, by queueing an error message
into socket error queue.

Note that applications need to set IP_RECVERR/IPV6_RECVERR option to
enable this feature, and that the error message is only queued
while in SYN_SNT state.

socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_RECVERR, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMP_OLD, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS, [5], 4) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(8787), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0),
        inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2002:a05:6608:297::", &sin6_addr), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)
recvmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(8787), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0),
        inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2002:a05:6608:297::", &sin6_addr), sin6_scope_id=0},
        msg_namelen=1024->28, msg_iov=[{iov_base="`\r\337\320\0004\6\1&\7\370\260\200\231\16\27\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 \2\n\5f\10\2\227"..., iov_len=1024}],
        msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=32, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SO_TIMESTAMP_OLD, cmsg_data={tv_sec=1590340680, tv_usec=272424}},
                                   {cmsg_len=60, cmsg_level=SOL_IPV6, cmsg_type=IPV6_RECVERR}],
        msg_controllen=96, msg_flags=MSG_ERRQUEUE}, MSG_ERRQUEUE) = 144

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
