d3244af9c4 ovpn: consolidate crypto allocations in one chunk
Currently ovpn uses three separate dynamically allocated structures to
set up cryptographic operations for both encryption and decryption. This
adds overhead to performance-critical paths and contribute to memory
fragmentation.

This commit consolidates those allocations into a single temporary blob,
similar to what esp_alloc_tmp() does.

The resulting performance gain is +7.7% and +4.3% for UDP when using AES
and ChaChaPoly respectively, and +4.3% for TCP.

2e570a5140 ovpn: add support for asymmetric peer IDs
In order to support the multipeer architecture, upon connection setup
each side of a tunnel advertises a unique ID that the other side must
include in packets sent to them. Therefore when transmitting a packet, a
peer inserts the recipient's advertised ID for that specific tunnel into
the peer ID field. When receiving a packet, a peer expects to find its
own unique receive ID for that specific tunnel in the peer ID field.

Add support for the TX peer ID and embed it into transmitting packets.
If no TX peer ID is specified, fallback to using the same peer ID both
for RX and TX in order to be compatible with the non-multipeer compliant
peers.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

40d48527a5 ovpn: fix check for skb_to_sgvec_nomark() return value
Depending on the data offset, skb_to_sgvec_nomark() may use
less scatterlist elements than what was forecasted by the
previous call to skb_cow_data().

It specifically happens when 'skbheadlen(skb) < offset', because
in this case we entirely skip the skb's head, which would have
required its own scatterlist element.

For this reason, it doesn't make sense to check that
skb_to_sgvec_nomark() returns the same value as skb_cow_data(),
but we can rather check for errors only, as it happens in
other parts of the kernel.

203e2bf559 ovpn: implement key add/get/del/swap via netlink
This change introduces the netlink commands needed to add, get, delete
and swap keys for a specific peer.

Userspace is expected to use these commands to create, inspect (non
sensitive data only), destroy and rotate session keys for a specific
peer.

encapsulation/decapsulation of OpenVPN packets.

Support for generic crypto state is added along with
a wrapper for the AEAD crypto kernel API.
