bpf: Add fd-based tcx multi-prog infra with link support

This work refactors and adds a lightweight extension ("tcx") to the tc BPF
ingress and egress data path side for allowing BPF program management based
on fds via bpf() syscall through the newly added generic multi-prog API.
The main goal behind this work which we also presented at LPC [0] last year
and a recent update at LSF/MM/BPF this year [3] is to support long-awaited
BPF link functionality for tc BPF programs, which allows for a model of safe
ownership and program detachment.

Given the rise in tc BPF users in cloud native environments, this becomes
necessary to avoid hard to debug incidents either through stale leftover
programs or 3rd party applications accidentally stepping on each others toes.
As a recap, a BPF link represents the attachment of a BPF program to a BPF
hook point. The BPF link holds a single reference to keep BPF program alive.
Moreover, hook points do not reference a BPF link, only the application's
fd or pinning does. A BPF link holds meta-data specific to attachment and
implements operations for link creation, (atomic) BPF program update,
detachment and introspection. The motivation for BPF links for tc BPF programs
is multi-fold, for example:

- From Meta: "It's especially important for applications that are deployed
fleet-wide and that don't "control" hosts they are deployed to. If such
application crashes and no one notices and does anything about that, BPF
program will keep running draining resources or even just, say, dropping
packets. We at FB had outages due to such permanent BPF attachment
semantics. With fd-based BPF link we are getting a framework, which allows
safe, auto-detachable behavior by default, unless application explicitly
opts in by pinning the BPF link." [1]

- From Cilium-side the tc BPF programs we attach to host-facing veth devices
and phys devices build the core datapath for Kubernetes Pods, and they
implement forwarding, load-balancing, policy, EDT-management, etc, within
BPF. Currently there is no concept of 'safe' ownership, e.g. we've recently
experienced hard-to-debug issues in a user's staging environment where
another Kubernetes application using tc BPF attached to the same prio/handle
of cls_bpf, accidentally wiping all Cilium-based BPF programs from underneath
it. The goal is to establish a clear/safe ownership model via links which
cannot accidentally be overridden. [0,2]

BPF links for tc can co-exist with non-link attachments, and the semantics are
in line also with XDP links: BPF links cannot replace other BPF links, BPF
links cannot replace non-BPF links, non-BPF links cannot replace BPF links and
lastly only non-BPF links can replace non-BPF links. In case of Cilium, this
would solve mentioned issue of safe ownership model as 3rd party applications
would not be able to accidentally wipe Cilium programs, even if they are not
BPF link aware.

Earlier attempts [4] have tried to integrate BPF links into core tc machinery
to solve cls_bpf, which has been intrusive to the generic tc kernel API with
extensions only specific to cls_bpf and suboptimal/complex since cls_bpf could
be wiped from the qdisc also. Locking a tc BPF program in place this way, is
getting into layering hacks given the two object models are vastly different.

We instead implemented the tcx (tc 'express') layer which is an fd-based tc BPF
attach API, so that the BPF link implementation blends in naturally similar to
other link types which are fd-based and without the need for changing core tc
internal APIs. BPF programs for tc can then be successively migrated from classic
cls_bpf to the new tc BPF link without needing to change the program's source
code, just the BPF loader mechanics for attaching is sufficient.

For the current tc framework, there is no change in behavior with this change
and neither does this change touch on tc core kernel APIs. The gist of this
patch is that the ingress and egress hook have a lightweight, qdisc-less
extension for BPF to attach its tc BPF programs, in other words, a minimal
entry point for tc BPF. The name tcx has been suggested from discussion of
earlier revisions of this work as a good fit, and to more easily differ between
the classic cls_bpf attachment and the fd-based one.

For the ingress and egress tcx points, the device holds a cache-friendly array
with program pointers which is separated from control plane (slow-path) data.
Earlier versions of this work used priority to determine ordering and expression
of dependencies similar as with classic tc, but it was challenged that for
something more future-proof a better user experience is required. Hence this
resulted in the design and development of the generic attach/detach/query API
for multi-progs. See prior patch with its discussion on the API design. tcx is
the first user and later we plan to integrate also others, for example, one
candidate is multi-prog support for XDP which would benefit and have the same
'look and feel' from API perspective.

The goal with tcx is to have maximum compatibility to existing tc BPF programs,
so they don't need to be rewritten specifically. Compatibility to call into
classic tcf_classify() is also provided in order to allow successive migration
or both to cleanly co-exist where needed given its all one logical tc layer and
the tcx plus classic tc cls/act build one logical overall processing pipeline.

tcx supports the simplified return codes TCX_NEXT which is non-terminating (go
to next program) and terminating ones with TCX_PASS, TCX_DROP, TCX_REDIRECT.
The fd-based API is behind a static key, so that when unused the code is also
not entered. The struct tcx_entry's program array is currently static, but
could be made dynamic if necessary at a point in future. The a/b pair swap
design has been chosen so that for detachment there are no allocations which
otherwise could fail.

The work has been tested with tc-testing selftest suite which all passes, as
well as the tc BPF tests from the BPF CI, and also with Cilium's L4LB.

Thanks also to Nikolay Aleksandrov and Martin Lau for in-depth early reviews
of this work.

net/sched: taprio: centralize mqprio qopt validation

There is a lot of code in taprio which is "borrowed" from mqprio.
It makes sense to put a stop to the "borrowing" and start actually
reusing code.

Because taprio and mqprio are built as part of different kernel modules,
code reuse can only take place either by writing it as static inline
(limiting), putting it in sch_generic.o (not generic enough), or
creating a third auto-selectable kernel module which only holds library
code. I opted for the third variant.

In a previous change, mqprio gained support for reverse TC:TXQ mappings,
something which taprio still denies. Make taprio use the same validation
logic so that it supports this configuration as well.

The taprio code didn't enforce TXQ overlaps in txtime-assist mode and
that looks intentional, even if I've no idea why that might be. Preserve
that, but add a comment.

There isn't any dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for mqprio, so nothing to
update there.

net: move the nat function to nf_nat_ovs for ovs and tc

There are two nat functions are nearly the same in both OVS and
TC code, (ovs_)ct_nat_execute() and ovs_ct_nat/tcf_ct_act_nat().

This patch creates nf_nat_ovs.c under netfilter and moves them
there then exports nf_ct_nat() so that it can be shared by both
OVS and TC, and keeps the nat (type) check and nat flag update
in OVS and TC's own place, as these parts are different between
OVS and TC.

Note that in OVS nat function it was using skb->protocol to get
the proto as it already skips vlans in key_extract(), while it
doesn't in TC, and TC has to call skb_protocol() to get proto.
So in nf_ct_nat_execute(), we keep using skb_protocol() which
works for both OVS and TC contrack.

net: qos: introduce a gate control flow action

Introduce a ingress frame gate control flow action.
Tc gate action does the work like this:
Assume there is a gate allow specified ingress frames can be passed at
specific time slot, and be dropped at specific time slot. Tc filter
chooses the ingress frames, and tc gate action would specify what slot
does these frames can be passed to device and what time slot would be
dropped.
Tc gate action would provide an entry list to tell how much time gate
keep open and how much time gate keep state close. Gate action also
assign a start time to tell when the entry list start. Then driver would
repeat the gate entry list cyclically.
For the software simulation, gate action requires the user assign a time
clock type.

Below is the setting example in user space. Tc filter a stream source ip
address is 192.168.0.20 and gate action own two time slots. One is last
200ms gate open let frame pass another is last 100ms gate close let
frames dropped. When the ingress frames have reach total frames over
8000000 bytes, the excessive frames will be dropped in that 200000000ns
time slot.

> tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress

> tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip \
flower src_ip 192.168.0.20 \
action gate index 2 clockid CLOCK_TAI \
sched-entry open 200000000 -1 8000000 \
sched-entry close 100000000 -1 -1

> tc chain del dev eth0 ingress chain 0

"sched-entry" follow the name taprio style. Gate state is
"open"/"close". Follow with period nanosecond. Then next item is internal
priority value means which ingress queue should put. "-1" means
wildcard. The last value optional specifies the maximum number of
MSDU octets that are permitted to pass the gate during the specified
time interval.
Base-time is not set will be 0 as default, as result start time would
be ((N + 1) * cycletime) which is the minimal of future time.

Below example shows filtering a stream with destination mac address is
10:00:80:00:00:00 and ip type is ICMP, follow the action gate. The gate
action would run with one close time slot which means always keep close.
The time cycle is total 200000000ns. The base-time would calculate by:

1357000000000 + (N + 1) * cycletime

When the total value is the future time, it will be the start time.
The cycletime here would be 200000000ns for this case.

net: sched: add Flow Queue PIE packet scheduler

Principles:
- Packets are classified on flows.
- This is a Stochastic model (as we use a hash, several flows might
be hashed to the same slot)
- Each flow has a PIE managed queue.
- Flows are linked onto two (Round Robin) lists,
so that new flows have priority on old ones.
- For a given flow, packets are not reordered.
- Drops during enqueue only.
- ECN capability is off by default.
- ECN threshold (if ECN is enabled) is at 10% by default.
- Uses timestamps to calculate queue delay by default.

Usage:
tc qdisc ... fq_pie [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows NUMBER ]
[ target TIME ] [ tupdate TIME ]
[ alpha NUMBER ] [ beta NUMBER ]
[ quantum BYTES ] [ memory_limit BYTES ]
[ ecnprob PERCENTAGE ] [ [no]ecn ]
[ [no]bytemode ] [ [no_]dq_rate_estimator ]

defaults:
limit: 10240 packets, flows: 1024
target: 15 ms, tupdate: 15 ms (in jiffies)
alpha: 1/8, beta : 5/4
quantum: device MTU, memory_limit: 32 Mb

net: sch_ets: Add a new Qdisc

Introduces a new Qdisc, which is based on 802.1Q-2014 wording. It is
PRIO-like in how it is configured, meaning one needs to specify how many
bands there are, how many are strict and how many are dwrr, quanta for the
latter, and priomap.

The new Qdisc operates like the PRIO / DRR combo would when configured as
per the standard. The strict classes, if any, are tried for traffic first.
When there's no traffic in any of the strict queues, the ETS ones (if any)
are treated in the same way as in DRR.

net: openvswitch: Set OvS recirc_id from tc chain index

Offloaded OvS datapath rules are translated one to one to tc rules,
for example the following simplified OvS rule:

recirc_id(0),in_port(dev1)

net: openvswitch: Set OvS recirc_id from tc chain index

Offloaded OvS datapath rules are translated one to one to tc rules,
for example the following simplified OvS rule:

recirc_id(0),in_port(dev1),eth_type(0x0800),ct_state(-trk) actions:ct(),recirc(2)

Will be translated to the following tc rule:

$ tc filter add dev dev1 ingress \
prio 1 chain 0 proto ip \
flower tcp ct_state -trk \
action ct pipe \
action goto chain 2

Received packets will first travel though tc, and if they aren't stolen
by it, like in the above rule, they will continue to OvS datapath.
Since we already did some actions (action ct in this case) which might
modify the packets, and updated action stats, we would like to continue
the proccessing with the correct recirc_id in OvS (here recirc_id(2))
where we left off.

To support this, introduce a new skb extension for tc, which
will be used for translating tc chain to ovs recirc_id to
handle these miss cases. Last tc chain index will be set
by tc goto chain action and read by OvS datapath.
