This patch adds the flags parameter to ipv6_find_hdr. This flags
allows us to:

* know if this is a fragment.
* stop at the AH header, so the information contained in that header
can be used for some specific packet handling.

This patch also adds the offset parameter for inspection of one
inner IPv6 header that is contained in error messages.

Since xt_action_param is writable, let's use it. The pointer to
'bool hotdrop' always worried (8 bytes (64-bit) to write 1 byte!).
Surprisingly results in a reduction in size:

text data bss filename
5457066 692730 357892 vmlinux.o-prev
5456554 692730 357892 vmlinux.o

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report
memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than
always having to pass -EINVAL back.

This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions
that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by
xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result.

Supplement to 1159683ef48469de71dc26f0ee1a9c30d131cf89.

Downgrade the log level to INFO for most checkentry messages as they
are, IMO, just an extra information to the -EINVAL code that is
returned as part of a parameter "constraint violation". Leave errors
to real errors, such as being unable to create a LED trigger.

This member is taking up a "long" per match, yet is only used by one
module out of the roughly 90 modules, ip6t_hbh. ip6t_hbh can be
restructured a little to accomodate for the lack of the .data member.
This variant uses checking the par->match address, which should avoid
having to add two extra functions, including calls, i.e.

(hbh_mt6: call hbhdst_mt6(skb, par, NEXTHDR_OPT),
dst_mt6: call hbhdst_mt6(skb, par, NEXTHDR_DEST))

The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time.
It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space
even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into
structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to
apply its optimizations.

This patch does this for match extensions' match functions.

A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for
example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different
offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one
protocol here, so clarify).

implemented). Clearly it is not expected by user.

Kernel should reject HBH/DST rule insertion with 'Not strict' mode

As reported by Mark Dowd <Mark_Dowd@McAfee.com>, ip6_tables is susceptible
to a fragmentation attack causing false negatives on extension header matches.

When extension headers occur in the non-first fragment after the fragment
header (possibly with an incorrect nexthdr value in the fragment header)
a rule looking for this extension header will never match.

Drop fragments that are at offset 0 and don't contain the final protocol
header regardless of the ruleset, since this should not happen normally.
Since all extension headers are before the protocol header this makes sure
an extension header is either not present or in the first fragment, where
we can properly parse it.

This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early

infrastructure for it.
