audit: implement multicast socket for journald

This is a patch set Eric Paris and I have been working on to add a restricted
capability read-only netlink multicast socket to kernel audit to enable
userspace clients such as systemd/journald to receive audit logs, in addition
to the bidirectional auditd userspace client.

Currently, auditd has the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capabilities
(but uses CAP_NET_ADMIN).  The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability will be added for use
by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG multicast group clients to the kaudit
subsystem.  This will remove the dependence on CAP_NET_ADMIN for the multicast
read-only socket.

Patches 1-3 provide a way for per-protocol bind functions to
signal an error and to be able to clean up after themselves.

The first netfilter cleanup patch has already been accepted by a netfilter
maintainer, though I don't see it upstream yet, so it is included for
completeness.

The second patch adds the per-protocol bind function return code to signal to
the netlink code that no further processing should be done and to undo the work
already done.
V1: This rev fixes a bug introduced by flattening the code in the last posting.
*V2: This rev moves the per-protocol bind call above the socket exposure call
and refactors out the unbind procedure.

The third provides a way per protocol to undo bind actions on DROP.

Patches 4-6 implement the audit multicast socket with capability checking.

The fourth patch adds the bind function capability check to multicast join
requests for audit.

The fifth patch adds the audit log read multicast group.  An assumption has
been made that systemd/journald reside in the initial network namespace.  This
could be changed to check the actual network namespace of systemd/journald
should this assumption no longer be true since audit now supports all network
namespaces.  This version of the patch now directly sends the broadcast when
the packet is ready rather than waiting until it passes the queue.

The sixth checks if any clients actually exist before sending.

Since the net tree is busier than the audit tree, conflicts are more likely and
the audit patches depend on the net patches, it is proposed to have the net
tree carry this entire patchset for 3.16.  Are the net maintainers ok with this?

Add a netlink multicast socket with one group to kaudit for "best-effort"
delivery to read-only userspace clients such as systemd, in addition to the
existing bidirectional unicast auditd userspace client.

Currently, auditd is intended to use the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE
capabilities, but actually uses CAP_NET_ADMIN.  The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability
is added for use by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG netlink multicast group
clients to the kaudit subsystem.

This will safely give access to services such as systemd to consume audit logs
while ensuring write access remains restricted for integrity.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code
rather than void to signal a failure.

This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including
capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in
multicast groups.

In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind
function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to
the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind
function.  This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check
permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid
the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function
fail.

The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the
per-protocol bind function.

Added a new ancillary load (bpf call in eBPF parlance) that produces
a 32-bit random number. We are implementing it as an ancillary load
(instead of an ISA opcode) because (a) it is simpler, (b) allows easy
JITing, and (c) seems more in line with generic ISAs that do not have
"get a random number" as a instruction, but as an OS call.

The main use for this ancillary load is to perform random packet sampling.

In commit 0e280af0 ("tcp: introduce TCPSpuriousRtxHostQueues SNMP

while the prior clone was still in a qdisc or driver queue.

We are now confident we can do better, and catch the problem before
we fragment a TSO packet before retransmit, or in TLP path.

This patch fully exploits the logic by simply canceling the spurious
retransmit.
Original packet is in a queue and will eventually leave the host.

This helps to avoid network collapses when some events make the RTO

purge tipc_net_lock

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.

In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
  RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
  Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
  saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
  All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
  lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
  and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
  structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
  When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
  its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
  node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node address
  to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

Commit a21a584d (tipc: fix neighbor
detection problem after hw address change) introduces a race condition
involving tipc_disc_delete() and tipc_disc_add/remove_dest that can
cause TIPC to dereference the pointer to the bearer discovery request
structure after it has been freed since a stray pointer is left in the
bearer structure.

In order to fix the issue, the process of resetting the discovery
request handler is optimized: the discovery request handler and request
buffer are just reset instead of being freed, allocated and initialized.
As the request point is always valid and the request's lock is taken
while the request handler is reset, the race doesn't happen any more.

Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the
read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed,
while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer
is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on
the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together.

So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking
policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two
data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer,
RTNL lock is applied.

Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible
to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not
use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the
bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance
from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship
between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message
transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list
array within RCU lock protection.

Currently the 'tipc_ptr' pointer is protected by tipc_net_lock
write lock on write side, and RCU read lock is applied to read
side. In addition, there have two paths on write side where we
may change variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer: one is
to configure bearer by tipc-config tool and another one is that
bearer status is changed by notification events of its attached
interface. But on the latter path, we improperly deem that
accessing 'tipc_ptr' pointer happens on read side with
rcu_read_lock() although some variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr'
pointer are changed possibly.

Moreover, as now the both paths are guarded by RTNL lock, it's
better to adjust the locking policy of 'tipc_ptr' pointer
protection, allowing RTNL instead of tipc_net_lock write lock to
protect it on write side, which will help us purge tipc_net_lock
in the future.

Currently broadcasts are handled in network RX context, where
the packets are sent through netif_rx.  This means that the number
of macvlans will be constrained by the capacity of netif_rx.

For example, setting up 4096 macvlans practically causes all
broadcast packets to be dropped as the default netif_rx queue
size simply can't handle 4096 skbs being stuffed into it all
at once.

Fundamentally, we need to ensure that the amount of work handled
in each netif_rx backlog run is constrained.  As broadcasts are
anything but constrained, it either needs to be limited per run
or moved to process context.

This patch picks the second option and moves all broadcast handling
bar the trivial case of packets going to a single interface into
a work queue.  Obviously there also needs to be a limit on how
many broadcast packets we postpone in this way.  I've arbitrarily
chosen tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit (act_mirred
also happens to use this parameter in a similar way).

In order to ensure we don't exceed the backlog queue we will use
netif_rx_ni instead of netif_rx for broadcast packets.
