asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

When running Cilium connectivity test suite with netkit in L2 mode, we
found that compared to tcx a few tests were failing which pushed traffic
into an L7 proxy sitting in host namespace. The problem in particular is
around the invocation of eth_type_trans() in netkit.
In case of tcx, this is run before the tcx ingress is triggered inside
host namespace and thus if the BPF program uses the bpf_skb_change_type()
helper the newly set type is retained. However, in case of netkit, the
late eth_type_trans() invocation overrides the earlier decision from the
BPF program which eventually leads to the test failure.
Instead of eth_type_trans(), split out the relevant parts, meaning, reset
of mac header and call to eth_skb_pkt_type() before the BPF program is run
in order to have the same behavior as with tcx, and refactor a small helper
called eth_skb_pull_mac() which is run in case it's passed up the stack
where the mac header must be pulled. With this all connectivity tests pass.

With GCC 12, -Wstringop-overread was warning about an implicit cast from

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-28
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Introduce BPF socket local storage map so that BPF programs can store
private data they associate with a socket (instead of e.g. separate hash
table), from Martin.
2) Add support for bpftool to dump BTF types. This is done through a new
`bpftool btf dump` sub-command, from Andrii.
3) Enable BPF-based flow dissector for skb-less eth_get_headlen() calls which
was currently not supported since skb was used to lookup netns, from Stanislav.
4) Add an opt-in interface for tracepoints to expose a writable context
for attached BPF programs, used here for NBD sockets, from Matt.
5) BPF xadd related arm64 JIT fixes and scalability improvements, from Daniel.
6) Change the skb->protocol for bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper in order to
support tunnels such as sit. Add selftests as well, from Willem.
7) Various smaller misc fixes.

Previously BMC's MAC address is calculated by simply adding 1 to the
last byte of network controller's MAC address, and it produces incorrect
result when network controller's MAC address ends with 0xFF.
The problem can be fixed by calling eth_addr_inc() function to increment
MAC address; besides, the MAC address is also validated before assigning
to BMC.

Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head.
Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers. When GRO receive

This change does two things. First it fixes a sparse error for the fact
that the __be16 degrades to an integer. Since that is actually what I am
kind of doing I am simply working around that by forcing both sides of the
comparison to u16.
Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for
big endian systems such as PowerPC since it was masking the value before
doing the comparison. So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out
and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN.
Lastly I pulled this all out into its own function. I notices there are
similar checks in a number of other places so this function can be reused
there to help reduce overhead in these paths as well.

This patch adds two new helper functions skb_put_padto and eth_skb_pad.
These functions deviate from the standard skb_pad or skb_padto in that they
will also update the length and tail pointers so that they reflect the
padding added to the frame.
The eth_skb_pad helper is meant to be used with Ethernet devices to update
either Rx or Tx frames so that they report the correct size. The
skb_put_padto helper is meant to be used primarily in the transmit path for
network devices that need frames to be padded up to some minimum size and
don't wish to simply update the length somewhere external to the frame.
The motivation behind this is that there are a number of implementations
throughout the network device drivers that are all doing the same thing,
but each a little bit differently and as a result several implementations
contain bugs such as updating the length without updating the tail offset
and other similar issues.

This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.
I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

several is_<foo>_ether_addr functions can be slightly
improved by using u32 dereferences.
I believe all current uses of is_zero_ether_addr and
is_broadcast_ether_addr are u16 aligned, so always use
u16 references to improve those functions performance.
Document the u16 alignment requirements.

Add a generic routine to test if possibly unaligned
to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.
If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
this uses the slightly faster generic routine
ether_addr_equal, otherwise this uses memcmp.

Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
slightly improve function performance.
Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
used only once.
Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.
Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
could occur with ether_addr_equal.
