Ido Schimmel d12d04d221 ipv6: icmp: Add RFC 5837 support
Add the ability to append the incoming IP interface information to
ICMPv6 error messages in accordance with RFC 5837 and RFC 4884. This is
required for more meaningful traceroute results in unnumbered networks.

The feature is disabled by default and controlled via a new sysctl
("net.ipv6.icmp.errors_extension_mask") which accepts a bitmask of ICMP
extensions to append to ICMP error messages. Currently, only a single
value is supported, but the interface and the implementation should be
able to support more extensions, if needed.

Clone the skb and copy the relevant data portions before modifying the
skb as the caller of icmp6_send() still owns the skb after the function
returns. This should be fine since by default ICMP error messages are
rate limited to 1000 per second and no more than 1 per second per
specific host.

Trim or pad the packet to 128 bytes before appending the ICMP extension
structure in order to be compatible with legacy applications that assume
that the ICMP extension structure always starts at this offset (the
minimum length specified by RFC 4884).

Since commit 20e1954fe2 ("ipv6: RFC 4884 partial support for SIT/GRE
tunnels") it is possible for icmp6_send() to be called with an skb that
already contains ICMP extensions. This can happen when we receive an
ICMPv4 message with extensions from a tunnel and translate it to an
ICMPv6 message towards an IPv6 host in the overlay network. I could not
find an RFC that supports this behavior, but it makes sense to not
overwrite the original extensions that were appended to the packet.
Therefore, avoid appending extensions if the length field in the
provided ICMPv6 header is already filled.

Export netdev_copy_name() using EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() to make it
available to IPv6 when it is built as a module.
