net: Build IPv6 into kernel by default This patch makes the default to build IPv6 into the kernel. IPv6 now has significant traction and any remaining vestiges of IPv6 not being provided parity with IPv4 should be swept away. IPv6 is now core to the Internet and kernel. Points on IPv6 adoption: - Per Google statistics, IPv6 usage has reached 7% on the Internet and continues to exhibit an exponential growth rate https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html - Just a few days ago ARIN officially depleted its IPv4 pool - IPv6 only data centers are being successfully built (e.g. at Facebook) This patch changes the IPv6 Kconfig for IPV6. Default for CONFIG_IPV6 is set to "y" and the text has been updated to reflect the maturity of IPv6. Impact: Under some circumstances building modules in to kernel might have a performance advantage. In my testing, I did notice a very slight improvement. This will obviously increase the size of the kernel image. In my configuration I see: IPv6 as module: text data bss dec hex filename 9703666 1899288 933888 12536842 bf4c0a vmlinux IPv6 built into kernel text data bss dec hex filename 9436490 1879600 913408 12229498 ba9b7a vmlinux Which increases text size by ~270K (2.8% increase in size for me). If image size is an issue, presumably for a device which does not do IP networking (IMO we should be discouraging IPv4-only devices), IPV6 can be disabled or still built as a module.

[INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6 Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c and tunnel6 respectively. The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module case at all. For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load. After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem. This is still preserved by this patch. So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before xfrm4_tunnel. The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching in general. The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP as it stands. The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since module dependency will cause them to be loaded. Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this patch to skb's. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.

bpf: Add IPv6 Segment Routing helpers The BPF seg6local hook should be powerful enough to enable users to implement most of the use-cases one could think of. After some thinking, we figured out that the following actions should be possible on a SRv6 packet, requiring 3 specific helpers : - bpf_lwt_seg6_store_bytes: Modify non-sensitive fields of the SRH - bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh: Allow to grow or shrink a SRH (to add/delete TLVs) - bpf_lwt_seg6_action: Apply some SRv6 network programming actions (specifically End.X, End.T, End.B6 and End.B6.Encap) The specifications of these helpers are provided in the patch (see include/uapi/linux/bpf.h). The non-sensitive fields of the SRH are the following : flags, tag and TLVs. The other fields can not be modified, to maintain the SRH integrity. Flags, tag and TLVs can easily be modified as their validity can be checked afterwards via seg6_validate_srh. It is not allowed to modify the segments directly. If one wants to add segments on the path, he should stack a new SRH using the End.B6 action via bpf_lwt_seg6_action. Growing, shrinking or editing TLVs via the helpers will flag the SRH as invalid, and it will have to be re-validated before re-entering the IPv6 layer. This flag is stored in a per-CPU buffer, along with the current header length in bytes. Storing the SRH len in bytes in the control block is mandatory when using bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh. The Header Ext. Length field contains the SRH len rounded to 8 bytes (a padding TLV can be inserted to ensure the 8-bytes boundary). When adding/deleting TLVs within the BPF program, the SRH may temporary be in an invalid state where its length cannot be rounded to 8 bytes without remainder, hence the need to store the length in bytes separately. The caller of the BPF program can then ensure that the SRH's final length is valid using this value. Again, a final SRH modified by a BPF program which doesn’t respect the 8-bytes boundary will be discarded as it will be considered as invalid. Finally, a fourth helper is provided, bpf_lwt_push_encap, which is available from the LWT BPF IN hook, but not from the seg6local BPF one. This helper allows to encapsulate a Segment Routing Header (either with a new outer IPv6 header, or by inlining it directly in the existing IPv6 header) into a non-SRv6 packet. This helper is required if we want to offer the possibility to dynamically encapsulate a SRH for non-SRv6 packet, as the BPF seg6local hook only works on traffic already containing a SRH. This is the BPF equivalent of the seg6 LWT infrastructure, which achieves the same purpose but with a static SRH per route. These helpers require CONFIG_IPV6=y (and not =m).
