Since xt_action_param is writable, let's use it. The pointer to
'bool hotdrop' always worried (8 bytes (64-bit) to write 1 byte!).
Surprisingly results in a reduction in size:

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

The structures carried - besides match/target - almost the same data.
It is possible to combine them, as extensions are evaluated serially,
and so, the callers end up a little smaller.

Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.
This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
allocated for two entries into the traverser.
arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
anyhow.

Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report
memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than
always having to pass -EINVAL back.
This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions
that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by
xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result.

Supplement to 1159683ef4.
Downgrade the log level to INFO for most checkentry messages as they
are, IMO, just an extra information to the -EINVAL code that is
returned as part of a parameter "constraint violation". Leave errors
to real errors, such as being unable to create a LED trigger.

Some complex match modules (like xt_hashlimit/xt_recent) want netns
information at constructor and destructor time. We propably can play
games at match destruction time, because netns can be passed in object,
but I think it's cleaner to explicitly pass netns.
Add ->net, make sure it's set from ebtables/iptables/ip6tables code.

This adds the second check that Rusty wanted to have a long time ago. :-)
Base chain policies must have absolute verdicts that cease processing
in the table, otherwise rule execution may continue in an unexpected

This adds a check that iptables's original author Rusty set forth in
a FIXME comment.
Underflows in iptables are better known as chain policies, and are
required to be unconditional or there would be a stochastical chance
for the policy rule to be skipped if it does not match. If that were
to happen, rule execution would continue in an unexpected spurious
fashion.

The "hook_entry" and "underflow" array contains values even for hooks
not provided, such as PREROUTING in conjunction with the "filter"
table. Usually, the values point to whatever the next rule is. For
the upcoming unconditionality and underflow checking patches however,
we must not inspect that arbitrary rule.
Skipping unassigned hooks seems like a good idea, also because
newinfo->hook_entry and newinfo->underflow will then continue to have
the poison value for detecting abnormalities.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

Commit e1b4b9f ([NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix exponential worst-case
search for loops) introduced a regression in the loop detection algorithm,
causing sporadic incorrectly detected loops.
When a chain has already been visited during the check, it is treated as
having a standard target containing a RETURN verdict directly at the
beginning in order to not check it again. The real target of the first
rule is then incorrectly treated as STANDARD target and checked not to
contain invalid verdicts.
Fix by making sure the rule does actually contain a standard target.

The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:
1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
after RCU period.
2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
