In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled,
we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while
softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop.

This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq,
to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work
before new packets are added the the backlog.

This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO
does not aggregate them.

This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver
without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on
1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.

This behavior is required in IPv6, and there is little need
to tolerate overlapping fragments in IPv4. This change
simplifies the code and eliminates potential DDoS attack vectors.

Tested: ran ip_defrag selftest (not yet available uptream).

When sk_rmem_alloc is larger than the receive buffer and we can't
schedule more memory for it, the skb will be dropped.

In above situation, if this skb is put into the ofo queue,
LINUX_MIB_TCPOFODROP is incremented to track it.

While if this skb is put into the receive queue, there's no record.
So a new SNMP counter is introduced to track this behavior.

LINUX_MIB_TCPRCVQDROP:  Number of packets meant to be queued in rcv queue
			but dropped because socket rcvbuf limit hit.

It will be helpful if we could display the drops due to zero window or no
enough window space.
So a new SNMP MIB entry is added to track this behavior.
This entry is named LINUX_MIB_TCPZEROWINDOWDROP and published in
/proc/net/netstat in TcpExt line as TCPZeroWindowDrop.

thanks to ACK compression.

Sample output :

Export data delivered and delivered with CE marks to
1) SNMP TCPDelivered and TCPDeliveredCE
2) getsockopt(TCP_INFO)
3) Timestamping API SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

Note that for SCM_TSTAMP_ACK, the delivery info in
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS is reported before the info
was fully updated on the ACK.

These stats help application monitor TCP delivery and ECN status
on per host, per connection, even per message level.

FACK loss detection has been disabled by default and the
successor RACK subsumed FACK and can handle reordering better.
This patch removes FACK to simplify TCP loss recovery.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

This reverts commit 45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78.

Eric Dumazet says:
  We found at Google a significant regression caused by
  45f119bf936b1f9f546a0b139c5b56f9bb2bdc78 tcp: remove header prediction

  In typical RPC  (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call
  tcp_ack() while we used to not call it.

  This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown.

so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack()
call.  Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided
one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases.
