This commit makes actions that accept NXM header values also accept OXM
header values and accept OXM field names where previously only NXM field
names were accepted.
This makes it possible to add new OXM fields that don't have NXM header
values, e.g. the OXM "metadata" field.

This code, which leverages the existing NXM implementation,
adds parsing and serialisation of OXM matches. Test cases
have also been provided.
This patch only implements parsing and serialisation of OXM fields that
are already handled by NXM.
It should be noted that in OXM ports are 32bit whereas in NXM they
are 16 bit. This has been handled as a special case as all other field
widths are the same in both OXM and NXM.
This patch does not address differences in wildcarding between OXM and NXM.
It is planned that liberal wildcarding policy dictated by either OXM or
NXM will be implemented.
This patch also does not address any (subtle?) differences between
OXM and NXM treatment of specific fields. It is envisages that his
can be handled by subsequent patches.

With OpenFlow 1.1 requiring arbitrary ethernet match support, it simplifies
other code if we have some extra helper functions. This patch adds
eth_mask_is_exact(mask), eth_addr_bitand(src, mask, dst),
eth_addr_equal_except(a, b, mask) and eth_format_masked(eth, mask, output).

This function parses a flow rather than a cls_rule. It will be useful
for "ofproto/trace", which currently requires an odp_flow and thus can't
accept values for registers and other concepts that don't exist in the

Add oxm_name and oxm_header elements to struct mf_field
and populate those entries for fields that are present
in both NXM and the OXM basic class.
This implementation was suggested by Ben Pfaff.
This does not address any possible differences in the NXM and
OXM basic class fields, for instance different maskability.
That may be addressed later as needed.

NXM breaks ICMP into v4 and v6. An upcoming commit will drop all of the
NXM specific data in favor of mf_field, and so at that point we need to
have a separate mf_field for each NXM field. So, this commit splits
ICMP into v4 and v6 for meta-flow also.
It's no longer necessary to maintain a "nw_tos_mask" wildcard member,
since we only care about completely wildcarding the DSCP and ECN
portions of the IP TOS field. This commit makes that change. It also
goes a bit further in internally using "tos" to refer to the entire TOS
field (ie, DSCP and ECN). We must still refer to the DSCP portions as
"nw_tos" externally through OpenFlow 1.0, since that's the convention it
uses.
Most of the members in structures referring to network elements indicate
the layer (e.g., "tl_", "nw_", "tp_"). The "frag" and "tos" members
didn't, so this commit add them.
Add support matching the IPv4 TTL and IPv6 hop limit fields. This
commit also adds support for modifying the IPv4 TTL. Modifying the IPv6
hop limit isn't currently supported, since we don't support modifying
IPv6 headers.
We will likely want to change the user-space interface, since basic
matching and setting the TTL are not generally useful. We will probably
want the ability to match on extraordinary events (such as TTL of 0 or 1)
and a decrement action.

Until now, OVS has handled IP fragments more awkwardly than necessary. It
has not been possible to match on L4 headers, even in fragments with offset
0 where they are actually present. This means that there was no way to
implement ACLs that treat, say, different TCP ports differently, on
fragmented traffic; instead, all decisions for fragment forwarding had to
be made on the basis of L2 and L3 headers alone.
This commit improves the situation significantly. It is still not possible
to match on L4 headers in fragments with nonzero offset, because that
information is simply not present in such fragments, but this commit adds
the ability to match on L4 headers for fragments with zero offset. This
means that it becomes possible to implement ACLs that drop such "first
fragments" on the basis of L4 headers. In practice, that effectively
blocks even fragmented traffic on an L4 basis, because the receiving IP
stack cannot reassemble a full packet when the first fragment is missing.
This commit works by adding a new "fragment type" to the kernel flow match
and making it available through OpenFlow as a new NXM field named
NXM_NX_IP_FRAG. Because OpenFlow 1.0 explicitly says that the L4 fields
are always 0 for IP fragments, it adds a new OpenFlow fragment handling
mode that fills in the L4 fields for "first fragments". It also enhances
ovs-ofctl to allow users to configure this new fragment handling mode and
to parse the new field.

Bug #7557.
These macros caused trouble if datapath-protocol.h was included before
openflow.h. Later references to the icmp_type and icmp_code members of
struct ovs_key_icmp caused compiler errors, because the macros caused them
to try to refer to nonexistent tp_src and tp_dst members in those
structures.
There are a few loose ends here. First, learning actions cause too much
flow revalidation. Upcoming commits will fix that problem. The following
additional issues have not yet been addressed:
* Resource limits: nothing yet limits the maximum number of flows that
can be learned. It is possible to exhaust all system memory.
* Age reporting: there is no way to find out how soon a learned table
entry is due to be evicted.
To try this action out, here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC
learning switch. It uses a 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier
to see what's going on:
ovs-vsctl del-controller br0
ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, hard_timeout=10, \
NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \
output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood"
You can then dump the MAC learning table with:
ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1
OVS already has a fairly good set of functions for working with fields that
are known at compile time, but support for working with fields that are
known only at runtime is fairly limited (and fairly unneeded). However,
with NXM identifiers becoming more and more widely used throughout Nicira
extensions, it's becoming corresponding more and more common to need to
refer to fields at runtime. This new library represents a first attempt
at a systematic approach for doing so.
