Currently tc skb extension is used to send miss info from
tc to ovs datapath module, and driver to tc. For the tc to ovs
miss it is currently always allocated even if it will not
be used by ovs datapath (as it depends on a requested feature).
Export the static key which is used by openvswitch module to
guard this code path as well, so it will be skipped if ovs
datapath doesn't need it. Enable this code path once
ovs datapath needs it.

The Open vSwitch kernel module uses the upcall mechanism to send
packets from kernel space to user space when it misses in the kernel
space flow table. The upcall sends packets via a Netlink socket.
Currently, a Netlink socket is created for every vport. In this way,
there is a 1:1 mapping between a vport and a Netlink socket.
When a packet is received by a vport, if it needs to be sent to
user space, it is sent via the corresponding Netlink socket.
This mechanism, with various iterations of the corresponding user
space code, has seen some limitations and issues:
* On systems with a large number of vports, there is a correspondingly
large number of Netlink sockets which can limit scaling.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526306)
* Packet reordering on upcalls.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1844576)
* A thundering herd issue.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834444)
This patch introduces an alternative, feature-negotiated, upcall
mode using a per-cpu dispatch rather than a per-vport dispatch.
In this mode, the Netlink socket to be used for the upcall is
selected based on the CPU of the thread that is executing the upcall.
In this way, it resolves the issues above as:
a) The number of Netlink sockets scales with the number of CPUs
rather than the number of vports.
b) Ordering per-flow is maintained as packets are distributed to
CPUs based on mechanisms such as RSS and flows are distributed
to a single user space thread.
c) Packets from a flow can only wake up one user space thread.

This makes openvswitch module use the event tracing framework
to log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline. When
using openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types of
debugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd's
ofproto/trace command. However, such a command has some
limitations:
1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action,
the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably
would be potentially wrong.
2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well
even if many of the flows are known
3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without
the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).
Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible for
working through these problems in kernel space. The style is
copied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code for
consistency - this creates some checkpatch splats, but the
official 'guide' for adding tracepoints, as well as the existing
examples all add the same splats so it seems acceptable.

This patch reorders the masks array every 4 seconds based on their
usage count. This greatly reduces the masks per packet hit, and
hence the overall performance. Especially in the OVS/OVN case for
OpenShift.
Here are some results from the OVS/OVN OpenShift test, which use
8 pods, each pod having 512 uperf connections, each connection
sends a 64-byte request and gets a 1024-byte response (TCP).
All uperf clients are on 1 worker node while all uperf servers are
on the other worker node.
Kernel without this patch : 7.71 Gbps
Kernel with this patch applied: 14.52 Gbps
We also run some tests to verify the rebalance activity does not
lower the flow insertion rate, which does not.

When using the kernel datapath, the upcall don't
include skb hash info relatived. That will introduce
some problem, because the hash of skb is important
in kernel stack. For example, VXLAN module uses
it to select UDP src port. The tx queue selection
may also use the hash in stack.
Hash is computed in different ways. Hash is random
for a TCP socket, and hash may be computed in hardware,
or software stack. Recalculation hash is not easy.
Hash of TCP socket is computed:
tcp_v4_connect
-> sk_set_txhash (is random)
__tcp_transmit_skb
-> skb_set_hash_from_sk
There will be one upcall, without information of skb
hash, to ovs-vswitchd, for the first packet of a TCP
session. The rest packets will be processed in Open vSwitch
modules, hash kept. If this tcp session is forward to
VXLAN module, then the UDP src port of first tcp packet
is different from rest packets.
TCP packets may come from the host or dockers, to Open vSwitch.
To fix it, we store the hash info to upcall, and restore hash
when packets sent back.
