Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains a small batch of Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next:
1) Remove unused genmask parameter in nf_tables_addchain()
2) Speed up reads from /proc/net/ip_vs_conn, from Florian Westphal.
3) Skip empty buckets in hashlimit to avoid atomic operations that results
in false positive reports by syzbot with lockdep enabled, patch from
Eric Dumazet.
4) Add conntrack event timestamps available via ctnetlink,
from Florian Westphal.

Introduce a new way to report PHY statistics in a structured and
standardized format using the netlink API. This new method does not
replace the old driver-specific stats, which can still be accessed with
`ethtool -S <eth name>`. The structured stats are available with
`ethtool -S <eth name> --all-groups`.
This new method makes it easier to diagnose problems by organizing stats
in a consistent and documented way.

I am working on a tool that allows collecting network performance
metrics by using conntrack events.
Start time of a conntrack entry is used to evaluate seen_reply
latency, therefore the sooner it is timestamped, the better the
precision is.
In particular, when using this tool to compare the performance of the
same feature implemented using iptables/nftables/OVS it is crucial
to have the entry timestamped earlier to see any difference.
At this time, conntrack events can only get timestamped at recv time in
userspace, so there can be some delay between the event being generated
and the userspace process consuming the message.
There is sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp, which adds a
64bit timestamp (ns resolution) that records start and stop times,
but its not suited for this either, start time is the 'hashtable insertion
time', not 'conntrack allocation time'.
There is concern that moving the start-time moment to conntrack
allocation will add overhead in case of flooding, where conntrack
entries are allocated and released right away without getting inserted
into the hashtable.
Also, even if this was changed it would not with events other than
new (start time) and destroy (stop time).
Pablo suggested to add new CTA_TIMESTAMP_EVENT, this adds this feature.
The timestamp is recorded in case both events are requested and the
sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp toggle is enabled.

This change introduces a mechanism for notifying userspace
applications about changes to IPv6 anycast addresses via netlink. It
includes:
* Addition and deletion of IPv6 anycast addresses are reported using
RTM_NEWANYCAST and RTM_DELANYCAST.
* A new netlink group (RTNLGRP_IPV6_ACADDR) for subscribing to these
notifications.
This enables user space applications(e.g. ip monitor) to efficiently
track anycast addresses through netlink messages, improving metrics
collection and system monitoring. It also unlocks the potential for
advanced anycast management in user space, such as hardware offload
control and fine grained network control.

Allow the user to configure needed_{head,tail}room for both netkit
devices. The idea is similar to 163e529200 ("veth: implement
ndo_set_rx_headroom") with the difference that the two parameters
can be specified upon device creation. By default the current behavior
stays as is which is needed_{head,tail}room is 0.
In case of Cilium, for example, the netkit devices are not enslaved
into a bridge or openvswitch device (rather, BPF-based redirection
is used out of tcx), and as such these parameters are not propagated
into the Pod's netns via peer device.
Given Cilium can run in vxlan/geneve tunneling mode (needed_headroom)
and/or be used in combination with WireGuard (needed_{head,tail}room),
allow the Cilium CNI plugin to specify these two upon netkit device
creation.

Pull hardening fix from Kees Cook:
- stddef: make __struct_group() UAPI C++-friendly (Alexander Lobakin)
* tag 'hardening-v6.13-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
stddef: make __struct_group() UAPI C++-friendly
For the most part of the C++ history, it couldn't have type
declarations inside anonymous unions for different reasons. At the
same time, __struct_group() relies on the latters, so when the @TAG
argument is not empty, C++ code doesn't want to build (even under
`extern "C"`):
../linux/include/uapi/linux/pkt_cls.h:25:24: error:
'struct tc_u32_sel::<unnamed union>::tc_u32_sel_hdr,' invalid;
an anonymous union may only have public non-static data members
[-fpermissive]
The safest way to fix this without trying to switch standards (which
is impossible in UAPI anyway) etc., is to disable tag declaration
for that language. This won't break anything since for now it's not
buildable at all.
Use a separate definition for __struct_group() when __cplusplus is
defined to mitigate the error, including the version from tools/.

The default IPv6 multipath hash policy takes the flow label into account
when calculating a multipath hash and previous patches added a flow
label selector to IPv6 FIB rules.
Allow user space to specify a flow label in route get requests by adding
a new netlink attribute and using its value to populate the "flowlabel"
field in the IPv6 flow info structure prior to a route lookup.
Deny the attribute in RTM_{NEW,DEL}ROUTE requests by checking for it in
rtm_to_fib6_config() and returning an error if present.
A subsequent patch will use this capability to test the new flow label
selector in IPv6 FIB rules.

This change introduces netlink notifications for multicast address
changes. The following features are included:
* Addition and deletion of multicast addresses are reported using
RTM_NEWMULTICAST and RTM_DELMULTICAST messages with AF_INET and
AF_INET6.
* Two new notification groups: RTNLGRP_IPV4_MCADDR and
RTNLGRP_IPV6_MCADDR are introduced for receiving these events.
This change allows user space applications (e.g., ip monitor) to
efficiently track multicast group memberships by listening for netlink
events. Previously, applications relied on inefficient polling of
procfs, introducing delays. With netlink notifications, applications
receive realtime updates on multicast group membership changes,
enabling more precise metrics collection and system monitoring.
This change also unlocks the potential for implementing a wide range
of sophisticated multicast related features in user space by allowing
applications to combine kernel provided multicast address information
with user space data and communicate decisions back to the kernel for
more fine grained control. This mechanism can be used for various
purposes, including multicast filtering, IGMP/MLD offload, and
IGMP/MLD snooping.
