A "conjunctive match" allows higher-level matches in the flow table, such
as set membership matches, without causing a cross-product explosion for
multidimensional matches. Please refer to the documentation that this
commit adds to ovs-ofctl(8) for a better explanation, including an example.

So far the compressed flow data in struct miniflow has been in 32-bit
words with a 63-bit map, allowing for a maximum size of struct flow of
252 bytes. With the forthcoming Geneve options this is not sufficient
any more.
This patch solves the problem by changing the miniflow data to 64-bit
words, doubling the flow max size to 504 bytes. Since the word size
is doubled, there is some loss in compression efficiency. To counter
this some of the flow fields have been reordered to keep related
fields together (e.g., the source and destination IP addresses share
the same 64-bit word).
This change should speed up flow data processing on 64-bit CPUs, which
may help counterbalance the impact of making the struct flow bigger in
the future.
Classifier lookup stage boundaries are also changed to 64-bit
alignment, as the current algorithm depends on each miniflow word to
not be split between ranges. This has resulted in new padding (part
of the 'mpls_lse' field).
The 'dp_hash' field is also moved to packet metadata to eliminate
otherwise needed padding there. This allows the L4 to fit into one
64-bit word, and also makes matches on 'dp_hash' more efficient as
misses can be found already on stage 1.

OpenFlow has priorities in the 16-bit unsigned range, from 0 to 65535.
In the classifier, it is sometimes useful to be able to have values below
and above this range. With the 'unsigned int' type used for priorities
until now, there were no values below the range, so some code worked
around it by converting priorities to 64-bit signed integers. This didn't
seem so great to me given that a plain 'int' also had the needed range.
This commit therefore changes the type used for priorities to int.
The interesting parts of this change are in pvector.h and classifier.c,
where one can see the elimination of the use of int64_t.

Add function flow_wildcards_init_for_packet() that can be used to set
sensible wildcards when megaflows are disabled. Before this, we set
all the mask bits to ones, which caused printing tunnel, mpls, and/or
transport port fields even for packets for which it makes no sense.
This has the side effect of generating different megaflow masks for
different packet types, so there will be more than one kind of mask in
the datapath classifier. This should not make practical difference,
as megaflows should not be disabled when performance is important.

Use the "+-" syntax more uniformly when printing masked flags, and use
the syntax of delimited 1-flags also for formatting fully masked TCP
flags.
The "+-" syntax only deals with masked flags, but if there are many of
those, the printout becomes long and confusing. Typically there are
many flags only when flags are fully masked, but even then most of
them are zeros, so it makes sense to print the flags that are set

miniflow_extract() extracts packet headers directly to a miniflow,
which is a compressed form of the struct flow. This does not require
a large struct to be cleared to begin with, and accesses less memory.
These performance benefits should allow this to be used in the DPDK
datapath.
miniflow_extract() takes a miniflow as an input/output parameter. On
input the buffer for values to be extracted must be properly
initialized. On output the map contains ones for all the fields that
have been extracted.
Some struct flow fields are reordered to make miniflow_extract to
progress in the logical order.
Some explicit "inline" keywords are necessary for GCC to optimize this
properly. Also, macros are used for same reason instead of inline
functions for pushing data to the miniflow.

Bitwise match on TCP flags. The flags and mask are 16-bit num‐
bers written in decimal or in hexadecimal prefixed by 0x. Each
1-bit in mask requires that the corresponding bit in port must
match. Each 0-bit in mask causes the corresponding bit to be
ignored.
TCP protocol currently defines 9 flag bits, and additional 3
bits are reserved (must be transmitted as zero), see RFCs 793,
3168, and 3540. The flag bits are, numbering from the least
significant bit:
0: FIN No more data from sender.

2: RST Reset the connection.
3: PSH Push function.

This patch gets rid of the need for having explicit padding in struct
flow as new fields are being added. flow_wildcards_init_exact(), which
used to set bits in both compiler generated and explicit padding, is
removed. match_wc_init() is now used instead, which generates the mask
based on a given flow, setting bits only in fields which make sense.
Places where random bits were placed in struct flow have been changed to
only set random bits on fields that are significant in the given context.
This avoids setting padding bits.
- lib/flow:
- Properly initialize struct flow also in places we used to zero out
padding before.
- Add flow_random_hash_fields() used for testing.
- Remove flow_wildcards_init_exact() to avoid initializing
masks where compiler generated padding has bits set.
- lib/match.c match_wc_init(): Wildcard transport layer fields for later
fragments, remove match_init_exact(), which used
flow_wildcards_init_exact().
- tests/test-flows.c: use match_wc_init() instead of match_init_exact()
- tests/flowgen.pl: generate more accurate packets and flows when
fragmenting, mark unavailable fields as wildcarded.

Rather than tracking the MPLS depth as a field in the
flow, which is an entirely poor place for it, just track
the delta to the MPLS depth during translation.
This logic was developed while implementing recirculation
and intended to be used to detect when recirculation should
occur. This variant of the patch uses the logic to determine
if processing of actions should stop due to an MPLS
action which cannot be translated (without recirculation).
A side-effect of this patch is that it resolves a bug
whereby ovs-vswitchd will abort due to to an assertion
on eth_type_mpls(ctx->xin->flow.dl_type) in compose_mpls_pop_action(()
if the actions of a flow include pop_mpls twice without

therefore may have different implementations on various systems.

The skb_mark field is currently only available with the Linux datapath
and is only used internally. However, it is desirable to expose this
through OpenFlow and when it is exposed ideally it would not be system-
specific. In preparation for this, skb_mark is rename to pkt_mark in
internal data structures for consistency.
This does not rename the Linux interfaces because doing so would break
the API. It would not necessarily be desirable to do anyways since in
Linux-specific code it is clearer to use the actual name rather than a
generic one. This can lead to confusion in some places, however, because
we do not always strictly separate generic and platform dependent code
(one example is actions). This seems inevitable though at this point if
the lower and upper layers have different names (as they must given the
above requirements).

Adds tun_src and tun_dst match and set capabilities via new NXM fields
NXM_NX_TUN_IPV4_SRC and NXM_NX_TUN_IPV4_DST. This allows management of
large number of tunnels via the flow tables, without requiring the tunnels
to be pre-configured.
Flow-based tunnels can be configured with options remote_ip=flow and
local_ip=flow. local_ip=flow requires remote_ip=flow. When set, the
tunnel remote IP address and/or local IP address is set from the flow,
instead of the tunnel configuration.

The format is mpls_ttl=YY.
3. Set the mpls_lse mask of a match to all 1's if
the dl_type of the flow is ETH_TYPE_MPLS or ETH_TYPE_MPLS_MCAST.
This will cause mpls_label=LLLL,mpls_tc=W,mpls_ttl=YY,mpls_bos=Z to

4. mpls(label:LLLL,tc:W,ttl:TT,bos:Z) and

to match and use the datapath API set out in Leo Alterman's patch
"user-space datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel".
The resulting MPLS implementation supports:
* Pushing a single MPLS label
* Poping a single MPLS label
* Modifying an MPLS lable using set-field or load actions
that act on the label value, tc and bos bit.
* There is no support for manipulating the TTL
this is considered future work.
The single-level push pop limitation is implemented by processing
push, pop and set-field/load actions in order and discarding information
that would require multiple levels of push/pop to be supported.
e.g.
push,push -> the first push is discarded
pop,pop -> the first pop is discarded
