Patrick McHardy 4738c1db15 [SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instruction
SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually
parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start
searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register
and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not
found it returns zero.

A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this
(example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg):

	...
	{
		/* A = offset of first attribute */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg)
	},
	{
		/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */
		.code	= BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= CTA_PROTOINFO,
	},
	{
		/* A = netlink attribute offset */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
		.k	= SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
	},
	{
		/* Exit if not found */
		.code   = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K,
		.k	= 0,
		.jt	= <error>
	},
	...

A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then
be parsed like this:

	...
	{
		/* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */
		.code	= BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlattr),
	},
	{
		/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */
		.code	= BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP,
	},
	{
		/* A = netlink attribute offset */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
		.k	= SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
	},
	...

The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this:

	...
	{
		/* X = A (attribute offset) */
		.code	= BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX,
	},
	{
		/* A = skb->data[X + k] */
		.code 	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlattr),
	},
	...
