[ Upstream commit 055d88242a6046a1ceac3167290f054c72571cd9 ]

Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in
linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken
sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not,
due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct
sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures.

Guillaume Nault adds:

  And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see 29e73269aa4d ("pppoe:
  fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I
  should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it.
  Clearly, it has never been used.

Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that
translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function.

All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion.

This should apply to all stable kernels.

<title>pppox: use standard module auto-loading feature</title>

* Register PF_PPPOX with pppox module rather than with pppoe,
    so that pppoe doesn't get loaded for any PF_PPPOX socket.

  * Register PX_PROTO_* with standard MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO()
    instead of using pppox's own naming scheme.

  * While there, add auto-loading feature for pptp.

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted
on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating
a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc.

<title>ppp: Replace uses of &lt;linux/if_ppp.h&gt; with &lt;linux/ppp-ioctl.h&gt;</title>

Since all that include/linux/if_ppp.h does is #include &lt;linux/ppp-ioctl.h&gt;,
this replaces the occurrences of #include &lt;linux/if_ppp.h&gt; with
#include &lt;linux/ppp-ioctl.h&gt;.

It also corrects an error in Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt, where
it referenced include/linux/if_ppp.h as the source of some definitions
that are actually now defined in include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h.

Move the PPP drivers into drivers/net/ppp/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
