These chains are indirectly attached to the hook since they are
not called for packets belonging to an established connection.
Introduce NF_HOOK_OP_NAT to identify the container and dump attached
entries instead of the container itself.
Dump these entries with the dispatcher's priority value since their own
priority merely defines ordering within the dispatcher's list.

In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], replace the
strscpy()/strlcat() pairs in xt_proto_init() and xt_proto_fini() with
snprintf(), which builds each /proc file name in a single call.
Each name is "<prefix><suffix>", where <prefix> is the address-family
string xt_prefix[af] and <suffix> is one of the FORMAT_TABLES,
FORMAT_MATCHES or FORMAT_TARGETS literals. Prepend %s to the FORMAT
macros and switch to snprintf().

kvfree() internally performs NULL check on the pointer
handed to it and takes no action if it indeed is NULL.
Hence there is no need for a pre-check of the memory
pointer before handing it to kvfree().
Issue reported by ifnullfree.cocci Coccinelle semantic
patch script.

The 'tos' match registered in xt_dscp.c has no .checkentry callback,
allowing userspace to insert rules with a non-boolean invert field
without any validation.
Add tos_mt_check() that rejects invert > 1 and attach it to both the
IPv4 and IPv6 'tos' match registrations.

Long time ago helpers were auto-assigned to connections based on
port/protocol match. For this reason, nf_conntrack_helper still contains
a full tuple.
Nowadays the only relevant entries in the tuple are the l3 and l4 protocol
numbers.
Prepare for tuple removal and switch to hashing name and l4 protocol.
l3num cannot be used because helpers can also register for "unspec"
protocol.

Leftover from the days when the kernel did automatic assignment of helpers
based on a pre-registered / well-known-port.
This helper autoassign was removed from the kernel, so all we really
need are the l3 and l4 protocol numbers.
In the broadcast helper, the only remaining consumer of the port number is
removed. AFAICS its not needed: The expectation is populated from the
control connection reply tuple, so the src port is the original directions
destination (snmp/161 for example).
LLM complained about silent l3num (u16) -> nfproto (u8) truncation, so
add a netlink policy validation to reject large NFPROTO values upfront.

do_replace_finish() allocates the counter buffer before it is validated:
counterstmp = vmalloc_array(repl->num_counters, sizeof(*counterstmp));
do_replace() only checks num_counters against INT_MAX / sizeof(struct
ebt_counter), so vmalloc_array() can be asked for up to 134217726 * 16 =
2147483616 bytes (~2 GiB).
num_counters must in fact equal nentries: do_replace_finish() later
rejects the request when repl->num_counters != t->private->nentries.
get_counters() folds the per-CPU counters back into one entry per rule,
so what userspace gets is bounded by nentries, never by nentries *
nr_cpus. Apply the same upper bound used for nentries (MAX_EBT_ENTRIES)
to the incoming num_counters so the over-sized allocation can no longer
be requested.
The allocation is still kept outside the ebt_mutex, since vmalloc() may
sleep and trigger reclaim; only the bound is tightened.

This feature only works for connections originating from the host
and only if there no source address rewrite.
Add the needed nat glue to have the expectation follow the original
nat binding.
