net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completion

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp
when hardware reports a packet completed.

Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not
exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware
has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND
timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency
(usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers
congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of
the true latency.

It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be
obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX
probably happened.

icmp: support rfc 4884

Add setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_4884 to return the offset to an
extension struct if present.

ICMP messages may include an extension structure after the original
datagram. RFC 4884 standardized this behavior. It stores the offset
in words to the extension header in u8 icmphdr.un.reserved[1].

The field is valid only for ICMP types destination unreachable, time
exceeded and parameter problem, if length is at least 128 bytes and
entire packet does not exceed 576 bytes.

Return the offset to the start of the extension struct when reading an
ICMP error from the error queue, if it matches the above constraints.

Do not return the raw u8 field. Return the offset from the start of
the user buffer, in bytes. The kernel does not return the network and
transport headers, so subtract those.

Also validate the headers. Return the offset regardless of validation,
as an invalid extension must still not be misinterpreted as part of
the original datagram. Note that !invalid does not imply valid. If
the extension version does not match, no validation can take place,
for instance.

For backward compatibility, make this optional, set by setsockopt
SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_RFC4884. For API example and feature test, see
github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/recv_icmp_v2.c

For forward compatibility, reserve only setsockopt value 1, leaving
other bits for additional icmp extensions.

Changes
v1->v2:
- convert word offset to byte offset from start of user buffer
- return in ee_data as u8 may be insufficient
- define extension struct and object header structs
- return len only if constraints met
- if returning len, also validate

net/sched: Make etf report drops on error_queue

Use the socket error queue for reporting dropped packets if the
socket has enabled that feature through the SO_TXTIME API.

Packets are dropped either on enqueue() if they aren't accepted by the
qdisc or on dequeue() if the system misses their deadline. Those are
reported as different errors so applications can react accordingly.

Userspace can retrieve the errors through the socket error queue and the
corresponding cmsg interfaces. A struct sock_extended_err* is used for
returning the error data, and the packet's timestamp can be retrieved by
adding both ee_data and ee_info fields as e.g.:

((__u64) serr->ee_data << 32) + serr->ee_info

This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by
applications. Enabling it can bring some overhead for the Tx cycles
of the application.

rds: deliver zerocopy completion notification with data

This commit is an optimization over commit 01883eda72bd
("rds: support for zcopy completion notification") for PF_RDS sockets.

RDS applications are predominantly request-response transactions, so
it is more efficient to reduce the number of system calls and have
zerocopy completion notification delivered as ancillary data on the
POLLIN channel.

Cookies are passed up as ancillary data (at level SOL_RDS) in a
struct rds_zcopy_cookies when the returned value of recvmsg() is
greater than, or equal to, 0. A max of RDS_MAX_ZCOOKIES may be passed
with each message.

This commit removes support for zerocopy completion notification on
MSG_ERRQUEUE for PF_RDS sockets.

rds: support for zcopy completion notification

RDS removes a datagram (rds_message) from the retransmit queue when
an ACK is received. The ACK indicates that the receiver has queued
the RDS datagram, so that the sender can safely forget the datagram.
When all references to the rds_message are quiesced, rds_message_purge
is called to release resources used by the rds_message

If the datagram to be removed had pinned pages set up, add
an entry to the rs->rs_znotify_queue so that the notifcation
will be sent up via rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() when the
rds_message is eventually freed by rds_message_purge.

rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() attempts to batch the number of cookies
sent with each notification to a max of SO_EE_ORIGIN_MAX_ZCOOKIES.
This is achieved by checking the tail skb in the sk_error_queue:
if this has room for one more cookie, the cookie from the
current notification is added; else a new skb is added to the
sk_error_queue. Every invocation of rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() will
trigger a ->sk_error_report to notify the application.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

The kernel supports zerocopy sendmsg in virtio and tap. Expand the
infrastructure to support other socket types. Introduce a completion
notification channel over the socket error queue. Notifications are
returned with ee_origin SO_EE_ORIGIN_ZEROCOPY. ee_errno is 0 to avoid
blocking the send/recv path on receiving notifications.

Add reference counting, to support the skb split, merge, resize and
clone operations possible with SOCK_STREAM and other socket types.

ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to
