As a preparation for the 'replicast' functionality we are going to
introduce in the next commits, we need the broadcast base structure to
store whether bearer broadcast is available at all from the currently
used bearer or bearers.
We do this by adding a new function tipc_bearer_bcast_support() to
the bearer layer, and letting the bearer selection function in
bcast.c use this to give a new boolean field, 'bcast_support' the
appropriate value.

Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to
insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for
even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace,
this issue can be abused by a regular user.
As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should
check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each
processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is
adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid
overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate
multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers.
The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud
environments where IP multicast is disabled. Using replicas to unicast
multicast messages is costly as we have to copy each skb and send the
copies individually.

In commit 5b7066c3dd ("tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer
layer") we introduced a method of filtering out messages while a bearer
is being reset, to avoid that links may be re-created and come back in
working state while we are still in the process of shutting them down.
This solution works well, but is limited to only work with L2 media, which
is insufficient with the increasing use of UDP as carrier media.
We now replace this solution with a more generic one, by introducing a
new flag "up" in the generic struct tipc_bearer. This field will be set
and reset at the same locations as with the previous solution, while
the packet filtering is moved to the generic code for the sending side.
On the receiving side, the filtering is still done in media specific
code, but now including the UDP bearer.

In test situations with many nodes and a heavily stressed system we have
observed that the transmission broadcast link may fail due to an
excessive number of retransmissions of the same packet. In such
situations we need to reset all unicast links to all peers, in order to
reset and re-synchronize the broadcast link.
In this commit, we add a new function tipc_bearer_reset_all() to be used
in such situations. The function scans across all bearers and resets all
their pertaining links.

TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link
connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide
a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because
of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node
cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall
monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at
a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't
scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure
discovery tolerance.
This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically
reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original
failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm,
background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and
at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will
now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead
of as before 399.
This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed
and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows:
- Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N
known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm
must be the same on all nodes.
- The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from
itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is
called its "local monitoring domain".
- It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and
piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages
(LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in
the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about
its monitoring domain.
- Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node
has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new
version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change.
- A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain
matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and
chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain
record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on
indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly
monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the
receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards
that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone.
- Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors,
each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream
neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally
will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone.
- A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that
cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its
direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in
the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss.
To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some
nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain
"heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster
will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this,
each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will
also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes.
- As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain
records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from
unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from
performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such
as re-assigning domain heads.
- As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the
new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold
value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value
will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when
it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to
a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32)
the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the
threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly.
- This change is fully backwards compatible.

Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast
destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to
have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including
a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers
and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is
also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local
broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to
eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped
multicast in the future.
A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full
set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating
how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol
is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the
nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast
protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the
moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the
retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be
acknowledged by the correct set of destinations.
This commit introduces these changes.

Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain,
where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant
part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to
overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send
the message after the spinlock has been released.
In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after
the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter
clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the
spinlock scope.
As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node
and link entities we also move the function tipc_link_xmit() to
node.c, and rename it to tipc_node_xmit().

When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes
run into circular include dependencies.
The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at
the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h
includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed
to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does
not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to,
only their type declaration.
In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any
other tipc header file.
As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function
tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline.
