packet_getname_spkt() doesn't initialize all members of sa_data field of
sockaddr struct if strlen(dev-&gt;name) &lt; 13.  This structure is then copied
to userland.  It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
We have to fully fill sa_data with strncpy() instead of strlcpy().

The same with packet_getname(): it doesn't initialize sll_pkttype field of
sockaddr_ll.  Set it to zero.

This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in
the shared skb data.

The access of the different union elements at several places led to some
confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try().

<title>packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.

PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING.  However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP.  SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.

If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).

The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by
Stephane Riviere:

"Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC
addresses of the network interface."

But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for
a namespace different from the init_net_ns.

These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are
namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these
lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.

Enable the SO_TIMESTAMPING socket infrastructure for raw packet sockets.
We introduce PACKET_TX_TIMESTAMP for the control message cmsg_type.

Similar support for UDP and CAN sockets was added in commit
51f31cabe3ce5345b51e4a4f82138b38c4d5dc91

+uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
 variant) instead of a function parameter.
+removes dev_mcast.c completely.
+exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
