In order to be able to reuse the core extraction logic, split the command
in two parts. The core extraction logic is moved to python/build while
the command that writes the different files out of the extracted field
info is kept in build-aux.

Python 2 reaches end-of-life on January 1, 2020, which is only
a few months away. This means that OVS needs to stop depending
on in the next release that should occur roughly that same time.
Therefore, this commit removes all support for Python 2. It
also makes Python 3 a mandatory build dependency.
Some of the interesting consequences:
- HAVE_PYTHON, HAVE_PYTHON2, and HAVE_PYTHON3 conditionals have
been removed, since we now know that Python3 is available.
- $PYTHON and $PYTHON2 are removed, and $PYTHON3 is always
available.
- Many tests for Python 2 support have been removed, and the ones
that depended on Python 3 now run unconditionally. This allowed
several macros in the testsuite to be removed, making the code
clearer. This does make some of the changes to the testsuite
files large due to indentation level changes.
- #! lines for Python now use /usr/bin/python3 instead of
/usr/bin/python.
- Packaging depends on Python 3 packages.

Currently OVS supports all ARP protocol fields as OXM match fields to
implement the relevant ARP procedures for IPv4. This includes support
for matching copying and setting ARP fields. In IPv6 ARP has been
replaced by ICMPv6 neighbor discovery (ND) procedures, neighbor
advertisement and neighbor solicitation.
The support for ICMPv6 fields in OVS is not complete for the use cases
equivalent to ARP in IPv4. OVS lacks support for matching, copying and
setting the “ND option type” and “ND reserved” fields. Without these user
cannot implement all ICMPv6 ND procedures for IPv6 support.
This commit adds additional OXM fields to OVS for ICMPv6 “ND option type“
and ICMPv6 “ND reserved” using the OXM extension mechanism. This allows
support for parsing these fields from an ICMPv6 packet header and extending
the OpenFlow protocol with specifications for these new OXM fields for
matching, copying and setting.

The purpose of including an OpenFlow version in the notes in meta-flow.h
and ovs-fields.7 is to explain what version of OpenFlow standardized a
given field. NXOXM_* are not standardized so they should not have an
OpenFlow version. This commit corrects it.

This patch adds support for NSH packet header fields to the OVS
control plane and the userspace datapath. Initially we support the
fields of the NSH base header as defined in
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-13.txt
and the fixed context headers specified for metadata format MD1.
The variable length MD2 format is parsed but the TLV context headers
are not yet available for matching.
The NSH fields are modelled as experimenter fields with the dedicated
experimenter class 0x005ad650 proposed for NSH in ONF. The following
fields are defined:
NXOXM code ofctl name Size Comment
=====================================================================
NXOXM_NSH_FLAGS nsh_flags 8 Bits 2-9 of 1st NSH word
(0x005ad650,1)
NXOXM_NSH_MDTYPE nsh_mdtype 8 Bits 16-23
(0x005ad650,2)
NXOXM_NSH_NEXTPROTO nsh_np 8 Bits 24-31
(0x005ad650,3)
NXOXM_NSH_SPI nsh_spi 24 Bits 0-23 of 2nd NSH word
(0x005ad650,4)
NXOXM_NSH_SI nsh_si 8 Bits 24-31
(0x005ad650,5)
NXOXM_NSH_C1 nsh_c1 32 Maskable, nsh_mdtype==1

Allow packet type namespace OFPHTN_ETHERTYPE as alternative pre-requisite
for matching L3 protocols (MPLS, IP, IPv6, ARP etc).
Change the meta-flow definition of packet_type field to use the new
custom format MFS_PACKET_TYPE representing "(NS,NS_TYPE)".
Parsing routine for MFS_PACKET_TYPE added to meta-flow.c. Formatting
routine for field packet_type extracted from match_format() and moved to
flow.c to be used from meta-flow.c for formatting MFS_PACKET_TYPE.
Updated the ovs-fields man page source meta-flow.xml with documentation
for packet-type-aware bridges and added documentation for field packet_type.
Added packet_type to the matching properties in tests/ofproto.at.
If dl_type is unwildcarded due to later packet modification, make sure it
is cleared again if the original packet_type was not PT_ETH.

Ports have a new layer3 attribute if they send/receive L3 packets.
The packet_type included in structs dp_packet and flow is considered in
ofproto-dpif. The classical L2 match fields (dl_src, dl_dst, dl_type, and
vlan_tci, vlan_vid, vlan_pcp) now have Ethernet as pre-requisite.
A dummy ethernet header is pushed to L3 packets received from L3 ports
before the the pipeline processing starts. The ethernet header is popped
before sending a packet to a L3 port.
For datapath ports that can receive L2 or L3 packets, the packet_type
becomes part of the flow key for datapath flows and is handled
appropriately in dpif-netdev.
In the 'else' branch in flow_put_on_pmd() function, the additional check
flow_equal(&match.flow, &netdev_flow->flow) was removed, as a) the dpcls
lookup is sufficient to uniquely identify a flow and b) it caused false
negatives because the flow in netdev->flow may not properly masked.
In dpif_netdev_flow_put() we now use the same method for constructing the
netdev_flow_key as the one used when adding the flow to the dplcs to make sure
these always match. The function netdev_flow_key_from_flow() used so far was
not only inefficient but sometimes caused mismatches and subsequent flow
update failures.
The kernel datapath does not support the packet_type match field.
Instead it encodes the packet type implictly by the presence or absence of
the Ethernet attribute in the flow key and mask.
This patch filters the PACKET_TYPE attribute out of netlink flow key and
mask to be sent to the kernel datapath.

Conntrack original direction tuple fields depend on the conntrack
state and the type of the packet that was tracked. These dependencies
were encoded as OpenFlow prerequisites in commit daf4d3c18da4 ("odp:
Support conntrack orig tuple key."). However, having a prerequisite
from a metadata field to a packet header turned out to be problematic,
since sometimes we are decoding metadata fields alone, so that the
packet type field is not available.
The reason for the packet type dependency is that the IP addresses in
the original direction tuple can be either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, and
it would be invalid to match on IPv4 original direction tuple
addresses for an IPv6 packet and vica verca. Upon closer look,
however, allowing this kind of mismatched match only causes the flow
to never match anything, rather than causing more severe problems.
This patch removes the formal prerequisite on the packet type, but
replaces that with an explicit check for the mismatch on flow install.
This way we can still return an error to the controller if it tries to
install a mismatched flow.

Previously, if a flow action that involves a tunnel metadata meta-flow
field is dumped from vswitchd, the replied field length in the OXM header
is filled with the maximum possible field length, instead of the length
configured in the tunnel TLV mapping table. To solve this issue, this patch
introduces the following changes.
In order to maintain the correct length of variable length mf_fields (i.e.
tun_metadata), this patch creates a per-switch based map (struct vl_mff_map)
that hosts the variable length mf_fields. This map is updated when a
controller adds/deletes tlv-mapping entries to/from a switch. Although the
per-swtch based vl_mff_map only hosts tun_metadata for now, it is able to
support new variable length mf_fields in the future.
With this commit, when a switch decodes a flow action with mf_field, the switch
firstly looks up the global mf_fields map to identify the mf_field type. For
the variable length mf_fields, the switch uses the vl_mff_map to get the
configured mf_field entries. By lookig up vl_mff_map, the switch can check
if the added flow action access beyond the configured size of a variable
length mf_field, and the switch reports an ofperr if the controller adds a flow
with unmapped variable length mf_field. Later on, when a controller request
flows from the switch, with the per-switch based mf_fields, the switch will
encode the OXM header with correct length for variable length mf_fields.
To use the vl_mff_map for decoding flow actions, extract-ofp-actions is
updated to pass the vl_mff_map to the required action decoding functions.
Also, a new error code is introduced to identify a flow with an invalid
variable length mf_field. Moreover, a testcase is added to prevent future
regressions.
Committer notes:
- Factor out common code
- Style fixups
- Rename OFPERR_NXFMFC_INVALID_VL_MFF -> OFPERR_NXFMFC_INVALID_TLV_FIELD

This patch adds a new action and fields to OVS that allow connection
tracking to be performed. This support works in conjunction with the
Linux kernel support merged into the Linux-4.3 development cycle.
Packets have two possible states with respect to connection tracking:
Untracked packets have not previously passed through the connection
tracker, while tracked packets have previously been through the
connection tracker. For OpenFlow pipeline processing, untracked packets
can become tracked, and they will remain tracked until the end of the
pipeline. Tracked packets cannot become untracked.
Connections can be unknown, uncommitted, or committed. Packets which are
untracked have unknown connection state. To know the connection state,
the packet must become tracked. Uncommitted connections have no
connection state stored about them, so it is only possible for the
connection tracker to identify whether they are a new connection or
whether they are invalid. Committed connections have connection state
stored beyond the lifetime of the packet, which allows later packets in
the same connection to be identified as part of the same established
connection, or related to an existing connection - for instance ICMP
error responses.
The new 'ct' action transitions the packet from "untracked" to
"tracked" by sending this flow through the connection tracker.
The following parameters are supported initally:
- "commit": When commit is executed, the connection moves from
uncommitted state to committed state. This signals that information
about the connection should be stored beyond the lifetime of the
packet within the pipeline. This allows future packets in the same
connection to be recognized as part of the same "established" (est)
connection, as well as identifying packets in the reply (rpl)
direction, or packets related to an existing connection (rel).
- "zone=[u16|NXM]": Perform connection tracking in the zone specified.
Each zone is an independent connection tracking context. When the
"commit" parameter is used, the connection will only be committed in
the specified zone, and not in other zones. This is 0 by default.
- "table=NUMBER": Fork pipeline processing in two. The original instance
of the packet will continue processing the current actions list as an
untracked packet. An additional instance of the packet will be sent to
the connection tracker, which will be re-injected into the OpenFlow
pipeline to resume processing in the specified table, with the
ct_state and other ct match fields set. If the table is not specified,
then the packet is submitted to the connection tracker, but the
pipeline does not fork and the ct match fields are not populated. It
is strongly recommended to specify a table later than the current
table to prevent loops.
When the "table" option is used, the packet that continues processing in
the specified table will have the ct_state populated. The ct_state may
have any of the following flags set:
- Tracked (trk): Connection tracking has occurred.
- Reply (rpl): The flow is in the reply direction.
- Invalid (inv): The connection tracker couldn't identify the connection.
- New (new): This is the beginning of a new connection.
- Established (est): This is part of an already existing connection.
- Related (rel): This connection is related to an existing connection.
For more information, consult the ovs-ofctl(8) man pages.
Below is a simple example flow table to allow outbound TCP traffic from
port 1 and drop traffic from port 2 that was not initiated by port 1:
table=0,priority=1,action=drop
table=0,arp,action=normal
table=0,in_port=1,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(commit,zone=9),2
table=0,in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(zone=9,table=1)
table=1,in_port=2,ct_state=+trk+est,tcp,action=1
table=1,in_port=2,ct_state=+trk+new,tcp,action=drop
Based on original design by Justin Pettit, contributions from Thomas
Graf and Daniele Di Proietto.

The current support for Geneve in OVS is exactly equivalent to VXLAN:
it is possible to set and match on the VNI but not on any options
contained in the header. This patch enables the use of options.
The goal for Geneve support is not to add support for any particular option
but to allow end users or controllers to specify what they would like to
match. That is, the full range of Geneve's capabilities should be exposed
without modifying the code (the one exception being options that require
per-packet computation in the fast path).
The main issue with supporting Geneve options is how to integrate the
fields into the existing OpenFlow pipeline. All existing operations
are referred to by their NXM/OXM field name - matches, action generation,
arithmetic operations (i.e. tranfer to a register). However, the Geneve
option space is exactly the same as the OXM space, so a direct mapping
is not feasible. Instead, we create a pool of 64 NXMs that are then
dynamically mapped on Geneve option TLVs using OpenFlow. Once mapped,
these fields become first-class citizens in the OpenFlow pipeline.
An example of how to use Geneve options:
ovs-ofctl add-geneve-map br0 {class=0xffff,type=0,len=4}->tun_metadata0
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=LOCAL,actions=set_field:0xffffffff->tun_metadata0,1
This will add a 4 bytes option (filled will all 1's) to all packets
coming from the LOCAL port and then send then out to port 1.
A limitation of this patch is that although the option table is specified
for a particular switch over OpenFlow, it is currently global to all
switches. This will be addressed in a future patch.
Based on work originally done by Madhu Challa. Ben Pfaff also significantly
improved the comments.

Until now, all fields that OVS can match against have been fixed
size (variable length headers can be skipped during parsing but
the match is fixed). However, Geneve options can vary in size
so we must not require the size of these fields to be known
at compile time.
This allows data types to be annotated with not only their size
but whether the field can be smaller than that. The following
patches will change OpenFlow parsing based on that.

We now have functions that can do parsing and printing of long hex
strings, so we should use them for meta flow fields to ensure
consistent behavior.
Since these functions can handle infinitely long strings, we can
also increase the maximum field size for MFS_HEXADECIMAL types to
the limit allowed by NXM/OXM. This is useful for future large fields,
such as Geneve options.

Mostly "print foo" -> "print(foo)" and "iteritems() -> items()". The
latter may be less efficient in python2, but we're not dealing with
massive numbers of items here so it shouldn't noticably slow the build.

actset_output, to be added in an upcoming commit, has one OXM assignment
in OpenFlow 1.3 and another one in OpenFlow 1.5. This commit allows both
of them to be supported in appropriate OpenFlow versions.
This feature is difficult to test on its own, so the same commit that adds
actset_output support also tests this feature.

OpenFlow 1.2+ defines a means for vendors to define vendor-specific OXM
fields, called "experimenter OXM". These OXM fields are expressed with a
64-bit OXM header instead of the 32-bit header used for standard OXM (and
NXM). Until now, OVS has not implemented experimenter OXM, and indeed we
have had little need to do so because of a pair of special 32-bit OXM classes
grandfathered to OVS as part of the OpenFlow 1.2 standardization process.
However, I want to prototype a feature for OpenFlow 1.5 that uses an
experimenter OXM as part of the prototype, so to do this OVS needs to
support experimenter OXM. This commit adds that support.
Most of this commit is a fairly straightforward change: it extends the type
used for OXM/NXM from 32 to 64 bits and adds code to encode and decode the
longer headers when necessary. Some other changes are necessary because
experimenter OXMs have a funny idea of the division between "header" and
"body": the extra 32 bits for experimenter OXMs are counted as part of the body
rather than the header according to the OpenFlow standard (even though this
does not entirely make sense), so arithmetic in various places has to be
adjusted, which is the reason for the new functions nxm_experimenter_len(),
nxm_payload_len(), and nxm_header_len().
Another change that calls for explanation is the new function mf_nxm_header()
that has been split from mf_oxm_header(). This function is used in actions
where the space for an NXM or OXM header is fixed so that there is no room
for a 64-bit experimenter type. An upcoming commit will add new variations
of these actions that can support experimenter OXM.
Testing experimenter OXM is tricky because I do not know of any in
widespread use. Two ONF proposals use experimenter OXMs: EXT-256 and
EXT-233. EXT-256 is not suitable to implement for testing because its use
of experimenter OXM is wrong and will be changed. EXT-233 is not suitable
to implement for testing because it requires adding a new field to struct
flow and I am not yet convinced that that field and the feature that it
supports is worth having in Open vSwitch. Thus, this commit assigns an
experimenter OXM code point to an existing OVS field that is currently
restricted from use by controllers, "dp_hash", and uses that for testing.
Because controllers cannot use it, this leaves future versions of OVS free
to drop the support for the experimenter OXM for this field without causing
backward compatibility problems.

This improves the general abstraction of OXM/NXM by eliminating direct
knowledge of it from the meta-flow code and other places.
Some function renaming might be called for; for example, mf_oxm_header()
may not be the best name now that the function is implemented within
nx-match. However, these renamings would make this commit larger and
harder to review, so I'm postponing them.

This is a first step toward improving the abstraction of OXM and NXM in the
tree. As an immediate improvement, this commit removes all of the
definitions of the OXM and NXM constants from the top-level header files,
because they are no longer used anywhere.
