Use the unified nf_log_packet() interface that allows us explicit
logger selection through the nf_loginfo structure.

If you specify the group attribute, this means you want to receive
logging messages through nfnetlink_log. In that case, the snaplen
and qthreshold attributes allows you to tune internal aspects of
the netlink logging infrastructure.

On the other hand, if the level is specified, then the plain text
format through the kernel logging ring is used instead, which is
also used by default if neither group nor level are indicated.

This includes the special handling for NFPROTO_INET. There is
no real inet logger since we don't see packets of this family.
However, rules are loaded using this special family type. So
let's just request both IPV4 and IPV6 loggers.

In order to fix set destruction notifications and get rid of unnecessary
members in private data structures, pass the context to expressions'
destructor functions again.

In order to do so, replace various members in the nft_rule_trans structure
by the full context.

The log and queue expressions both store the family during ->init() and
use it to deliver packets. This is wrong when used in NFPROTO_INET since
they should both deliver to the actual AF of the packet, not the dummy
NFPROTO_INET.

Use the family from the hook ops to fix this.

Multi-family tables need the AF from the hook ops. Add a pointer to the
hook ops and replace usage of the hooknum member in struct nft_pktinfo.

Split the expression ops into two parts and support overloading of
the runtime expression ops based on the requested function through
a ->select_ops() callback.

This can be used to provide optimized implementations, for instance
for loading small aligned amounts of data from the packet or inlining
frequently used operations into the main evaluation loop.

96518518cc417bb0a8c80b9fb736202e28acdf96 14-Oct-2013 Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> netfilter: add nftables

This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables.
This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks,
the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent
proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet
queueing facilities.

In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general
purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store
verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set,
a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included
in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are:

* bitwise: to perform bitwise operations.
* byteorder: to change from host/network endianess.
* cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers.
* counter: to enable counters on rules.
* ct: to store conntrack keys into register.
* exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers.
* immediate: to load data into registers.
* limit: to limit matching based on packet rate.
* log: to log packets.
* meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff.
* nat: to perform Network Address Translation.
* payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into
registers.
* reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST.

Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform
the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a
new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode.

nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from
iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the
original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support.
This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter:
nf_tables: add netlink set API).

This patch includes the following components:

* the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and
include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h
* the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c
* the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c
* the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge:
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c
net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c
* the NAT table (IPv4 only):
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c
* the route table (similar to mangle):
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c
* internal definitions under:
include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h
include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h
* It also includes an skeleton expression:
net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c
and the preliminary implementation of the meta target
net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c

It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new
pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store
the rule list per chain.
