In the rare case that drop_monitor fails to register its probe on the
'napi_poll' tracepoint, it will not deactivate its hysteresis timer as
part of the error path. If the hysteresis timer was armed by the shortly
lived 'kfree_skb' probe and user space retries to initiate tracing, a
warning will be emitted for trying to initialize an active object [1].
Fix this by properly undoing all the operations that were done prior to
probe registration, in both software and hardware code paths.
Note that syzkaller managed to fail probe registration by injecting a
slab allocation failure [2].

packets and did not pass them to drop monitor as they were not dropped
by the underlying hardware.
Now drop monitor registers its probe on a generic 'devlink_trap_report'
tracepoint and should therefore perform this filtering itself instead of
having devlink do that.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Drop monitor uses a work item that takes care of constructing and
sending netlink notifications to user space. In case drop monitor never
started to monitor, then the work item is uninitialized and not
associated with a function.
Therefore, a stop command from user space results in canceling an
uninitialized work item which leads to the following warning [1].
Fix this by not processing a stop command if drop monitor is not
currently monitoring.

In summary alert mode a notification is sent with a list of recent drop
reasons and a count of how many packets were dropped due to this reason.
To avoid expensive operations in the context in which packets are
dropped, each CPU holds an array whose number of entries is the maximum
number of drop reasons that can be encoded in the netlink notification.
Each entry stores the drop reason and a count. When a packet is dropped
the array is traversed and a new entry is created or the count of an
existing entry is incremented.
Later, in process context, the array is replaced with a newly allocated
copy and the old array is encoded in a netlink notification. To avoid
breaking user space, the notification includes the ancillary header,
which is 'struct net_dm_alert_msg' with number of entries set to '0'.

So far drop monitor supported only one alert mode in which a summary of
locations in which packets were recently dropped was sent to user space.
This alert mode is sufficient in order to understand that packets were
dropped, but lacks information to perform a more detailed analysis.
Add a new alert mode in which the dropped packet itself is passed to
user space along with metadata: The drop location (as program counter
and resolved symbol), ingress netdevice and drop timestamp. More
metadata can be added in the future.
To avoid performing expensive operations in the context in which
kfree_skb() is invoked (can be hard IRQ), the dropped skb is cloned and
queued on per-CPU skb drop list. Then, in process context the netlink
message is allocated, prepared and finally sent to user space.

The function reset_per_cpu_data() allocates and prepares a new skb for
the summary netlink alert message ('NET_DM_CMD_ALERT'). The new skb is
stored in the per-CPU 'data' variable and the old is returned.
The function is invoked during module initialization and from the
workqueue, before an alert is sent. This means that it is possible to
receive an alert with stale data, if we stopped tracing when the
hysteresis timer ('data->send_timer') was pending.
Instead of invoking the function during module initialization, invoke it
just before we start tracing and ensure we get a fresh skb.
This also allows us to remove the calls to initialize the timer and the
work item from the module initialization path, since both could have
been triggered by the error paths of reset_per_cpu_data().

Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.
In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.
This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

Instead of providing macros/inline functions to initialize
the families, make all users initialize them statically and
get rid of the macros.
This reduces the kernel code size by about 1.6k on x86-64
(with allyesconfig).

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.
