strparser: pad sk_skb_cb to avoid straddling cachelines

sk_skb_cb lives within skb->cb[]. skb->cb[] straddles
2 cache lines, each containing 24B of data.
The first cache line does not contain much interesting
information for users of strparser, so pad things a little.
Previously strp_msg->full_len would live in the first cache
line and strp_msg->offset in the second.

We need to reorder the 8 byte temp_reg with struct tls_msg
to prevent a 4B hole which would push the struct over 48B.

tls: rx: don't store the record type in socket context

Original TLS implementation was handling one record at a time.
It stashed the type of the record inside tls context (per socket
structure) for convenience. When async crypto support was added
[1] the author had to use skb->cb to store the type per-message.

The use of skb->cb overlaps with strparser, however, so a hybrid
approach was taken where type is stored in context while parsing
(since we parse a message at a time) but once parsed its copied
to skb->cb.

Recently a workaround for sockmaps [2] exposed the previously
private struct _strp_msg and started a trend of adding user
fields directly in strparser's header. This is cleaner than
storing information about an skb in the context.

This change is not strictly necessary, but IMHO the ownership
of the context field is confusing. Information naturally
belongs to the skb.

bpf, sockmap: sk_skb data_end access incorrect when src_reg = dst_reg

The current conversion of skb->data_end reads like this:

; data_end = (void*)(long)skb->data_end;
559: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(

bpf, sockmap: sk_skb data_end access incorrect when src_reg = dst_reg

The current conversion of skb->data_end reads like this:

; data_end = (void*)(long)skb->data_end;
559: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r2 +200) ; r1 = skb->data
560: (61) r11 = *(u32 *)(r2 +112) ; r11 = skb->len
561: (0f) r1 += r11
562: (61) r11 = *(u32 *)(r2 +116)
563: (1f) r1 -= r11

But similar to the case in 84f44df664e9 ("bpf: sock_ops sk access may stomp
registers when dst_reg = src_reg"), the code will read an incorrect skb->len
when src == dst. In this case we end up generating this xlated code:

; data_end = (void*)(long)skb->data_end;
559: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +200) ; r1 = skb->data
560: (61) r11 = *(u32 *)(r1 +112) ; r11 = (skb->data)->len
561: (0f) r1 += r11
562: (61) r11 = *(u32 *)(r1 +116)
563: (1f) r1 -= r11

... where line 560 is the reading 4B of (skb->data + 112) instead of the
intended skb->len Here the skb pointer in r1 gets set to skb->data and the
later deref for skb->len ends up following skb->data instead of skb.

This fixes the issue similarly to the patch mentioned above by creating an
additional temporary variable and using to store the register when dst_reg =
src_reg. We name the variable bpf_temp_reg and place it in the cb context for
sk_skb. Then we restore from the temp to ensure nothing is lost.

bpf: sockmap, strparser, and tls are reusing qdisc_skb_cb and colliding

Strparser is reusing the qdisc_skb_cb struct to stash the skb message handling
progress, e.g. offset and length of the skb. First this is poorly named and
inherits a struct from qdisc that doesn't reflect the actual usage of cb[] at
this layer.

But, more importantly strparser is using the following to access its metadata.

(struct _strp_msg *)((void *)skb->cb + offsetof(struct qdisc_skb_cb, data))

Where _strp_msg is defined as:

struct _strp_msg {
struct strp_msg strp; /* 0 8 */
int accum_len; /* 8 4 */

/* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
};

So we use 12 bytes of ->data[] in struct. However in BPF code running parser
and verdict the user has read capabilities into the data[] array as well. Its
not too problematic, but we should not be exposing internal state to BPF
program. If its really needed then we can use the probe_read() APIs which allow
reading kernel memory. And I don't believe cb[] layer poses any API breakage by
moving this around because programs can't depend on cb[] across layers.

In order to fix another issue with a ctx rewrite we need to stash a temp
variable somewhere. To make this work cleanly this patch builds a cb struct
for sk_skb types called sk_skb_cb struct. Then we can use this consistently
in the strparser, sockmap space. Additionally we can start allowing ->cb[]
write access after this.

strparser: Add __strp_unpause and use it in ktls.

strp_unpause queues strp_work in order to parse any messages that
arrived while the strparser was paused. However, the process invoking
strp_unpause could eagerly parse a buffered message itself if it held
the sock lock.

__strp_unpause is an alternative to strp_pause that avoids the scheduling
overhead that results when a receiving thread unpauses the strparser
and waits for the next message to be delivered by the workqueue thread.

This patch more than doubled the IOPS achieved in a benchmark of NBD
traffic encrypted using ktls.

strparser: initialize all callbacks

commit bbb03029a899 ("strparser: Generalize strparser") added more
function pointers to 'struct strp_callbacks'; however, kcm_attach() was
not updated to initialize them. This could cause the ->lock() and/or
->unlock() function pointers to be set to garbage values, causing a
crash in strp_work().

Fix the bug by moving the callback structs into static memory, so
unspecified members are zeroed. Also constify them while we're at it.

strparser: Generalize strparser

Generalize strparser from more than just being used in conjunction
with read_sock. strparser will also be used in the send path with
zero proxy. The primary change is to create strp_process function
that performs the critical processing on skbs. The documentation
is also updated to reflect the new uses.

kcm: Remove TCP specific references from kcm and strparser

kcm and strparser need to work with any type of stream socket not just
TCP. Eliminate references to TCP and call generic proto_ops function

kcm: Remove TCP specific references from kcm and strparser

kcm and strparser need to work with any type of stream socket not just
TCP. Eliminate references to TCP and call generic proto_ops functions of
read_sock and peek_len. Also in strp_init check if the socket support
the proto_ops read_sock and peek_len.

strparser: Stream parser for messages

This patch introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol
messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism
implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor.

The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility
functions, and a data ready function.

A stream parser instance is defined by a strparse structure that
is bound to a TCP socket. The function to initialize the structure
is:

int strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk,
struct strp_callbacks *cb);

csk is the TCP socket being bound to and cb are the parser callbacks.

The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower
socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready
callback that is set on the socket:

void strp_tcp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp);

A parser is bound to a TCP socket by setting data_ready function to
strp_tcp_data_ready so that all receive indications on the socket
go through the parser. This is assumes that sk_user_data is set to
the strparser structure.

There are four callbacks.
- parse_msg is called to parse the message (returns length or error).
- rcv_msg is called when a complete message has been received
- read_sock_done is called when data_ready function exits
- abort_parser is called to abort the parser

The input to parse_msg is an skbuff which contains next message under
construction. The backend processing of parse_msg will parse the
application layer protocol headers to determine the length of
the message in the stream. The possible return values are:

>0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message
0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message
-ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the
kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which
can proceed to read the messages itself
other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace
assuming that synchronzation is lost and the stream
is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket)

In the case of error return (< 0) strparse will stop the parser
and report and error to userspace. The application must deal
with the error. To handle the error the strparser is unbound
from the TCP socket. If the error indicates that the stream
TCP socket is at recoverable point (ESTRPIPE) then the application
can read the TCP socket to process the stream. Once the application
has dealt with the exceptions in the stream, it may again bind the
socket to a strparser to continue data operations.

Note that ENODATA may be returned to the application. In this case
parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE, however strparser was unable to maintain
synchronization of the stream (i.e. some of the message in question
was already read by the parser).

strp_pause and strp_unpause are used to provide flow control. For
instance, if rcv_msg is called but the upper layer can't immediately
consume the message it can hold the message and pause strparser.
