this is in preparation for multishot receive from io_uring, where it needs
to have access to the original struct user_msghdr.

functionally this should be a no-op.

<title>net/ipv4/ipv6: Replace one-element arraya with flexible-array members</title>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged and refactor the related code accordingly:

$ pahole -C group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct group_filter {
	union {
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface_aux;     /*     0     4 */

			/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux; /*     8   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode_aux;         /*   136     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc_aux;        /*   140     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1]; /*   144   128 */
		};                                       /*     0   272 */
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface;         /*     0     4 */

			/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group; /*     8   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode;             /*   136     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc;            /*   140     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0]; /*   144     0 */
		};                                       /*     0   144 */
	};                                               /*     0   272 */

	/* size: 272, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

$ pahole -C compat_group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct compat_group_filter {
	union {
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface_aux;     /*     0     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*     4   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode_aux;         /*   132     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc_aux;        /*   136     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*   140   128 */
		} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));                     /*     0   268 */
		struct {
			__u32      gf_interface;         /*     0     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*     4   128 */
			/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
			__u32      gf_fmode;             /*   132     4 */
			__u32      gf_numsrc;            /*   136     4 */
			struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /*   140     0 */
		} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));                     /*     0   140 */
	} __attribute__((__aligned__(1)));               /*     0   268 */

	/* size: 268, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
	/* forced alignments: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

<title>compat: always include linux/compat.h from net/compat.h</title>

We're about to do reshuffling in networking headers and
eliminate some implicit includes. This results in:

In file included from ../net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:26:
include/net/compat.h:60:40: error: unknown type name ‘compat_uptr_t’; did you mean ‘compat_ptr_ioctl’?

    compat_size_t *len);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
    compat_sigset_t

Currently net/compat.h depends on linux/compat.h being included
first. After the upcoming changes this would break the 32bit build.

now we can do MCAST_MSFILTER in compat -&gt;getsockopt() without
playing silly buggers with copying things back and forth.
We can form a native struct group_filter (sans the variable-length
tail) on stack, pass that + pointer to the tail of original request
to the helper doing the bulk of the work, then do the rest of
copyout - same as the native getsockopt() does.

We want to get rid of compat_mc_[sg]etsockopt() and to have that stuff
handled without compat_alloc_user_space(), extra copying through
userland, etc.  To do that we'll need ipv4 and ipv6 instances of
-&gt;compat_[sg]etsockopt() to manipulate the 32bit variants of mcast
requests, so we need to move the definitions of those out of net/compat.c
and into a public header.

This patch just does a mechanical move to include/net/compat.h

To prepare removing the global routing_ioctl hack start lifting the code
into the ipv4 and appletalk -&gt;compat_ioctl handlers.  Unlike the existing
handler we don't bother copying in the name - there are no compat issues for
char arrays.

This splits it into two parts, one that imports the message, and one
that imports the iovec. This allows a caller to only do the first part,
and import the iovec manually afterwards.

No functional changes in this patch.

<title>net: rework SIOCGSTAMP ioctl handling</title>

The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many
socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same
sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which
results in a lot of duplicate code.

With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this
gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each
socket protocol implementation.

To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in
struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common
sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go
through.

We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize
it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as
timeval and timespec structures.
