95f5c64c3c gre: Move utility functions to common headers
Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable
for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic).

These include:
  - GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h
  - GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header
  - parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header
  - iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now
    done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header
    in an int* argument.

9f57c67c37 gre: Remove support for sharing GRE protocol hook.
Support for sharing GREPROTO_CISCO port was added so that
OVS gre port and kernel GRE devices can co-exist. After
flow-based tunneling patches OVS GRE protocol processing
is completely moved to ip_gre module. so there is no need
for GRE protocol hook. Following patch consolidates
GRE protocol related functions into ip_gre module.

b2acd1dc39 openvswitch: Use regular GRE net_device instead of vport
Using GRE tunnel meta data collection feature, we can implement
OVS GRE vport. This patch removes all of the OVS
specific GRE code and make OVS use a ip_gre net_device.
Minimal GRE vport is kept to handle compatibility with
current userspace application.

4749c09c37 gre: Call gso_make_checksum
Call gso_make_checksum. This should have the benefit of using a
checksum that may have been previously computed for the packet.

This also adds NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM to differentiate devices that
offload GRE GSO with and without the GRE checksum offloaed.

438e38fadc gre_offload: statically build GRE offloading support
GRO/GSO layers can be enabled on a node, even if said
node is only forwarding packets.

This patch permits GSO (and upcoming GRO) support for GRE
encapsulated packets, even if the host has no GRE tunnel setup.

2d26f0a3c0 ipv4: generalize gre_handle_offloads
This patch makes gre_handle_offloads() more generic
and rename it to iptunnel_handle_offloads()

This will be used to add GSO/TSO support to IPIP tunnels.

c50cd35788 net: gre: move GSO functions to gre_offload
Similarly to TCP/UDP offloading, move all related GRE functions to
gre_offload.c to make things more explicit and similar to the rest
of the code.

bda7bb4634 gre: Allow multiple protocol listener for gre protocol.
Currently there is only one user is allowed to register for gre
protocol.  Following patch adds de-multiplexer.  So that multiple
modules can listen on gre protocol e.g. kernel gre devices and ovs.

c544193214 GRE: Refactor GRE tunneling code.
Following patch refactors GRE code into ip tunneling code and GRE
specific code. Common tunneling code is moved to ip_tunnel module.
ip_tunnel module is written as generic library which can be used
by different tunneling implementations.

ip_tunnel module contains following components:
 - packet xmit and rcv generic code. xmit flow looks like
   (gre_xmit/ipip_xmit)->ip_tunnel_xmit->ip_local_out.
 - hash table of all devices.
 - lookup for tunnel devices.
 - control plane operations like device create, destroy, ioctl, netlink
   operations code.
 - registration for tunneling modules, like gre, ipip etc.
 - define single pcpu_tstats dev->tstats.
 - struct tnl_ptk_info added to pass parsed tunnel packet parameters.

ipip.h header is renamed to ip_tunnel.h

00959ade36 PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework
NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria
     (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists)
NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module

This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which
dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in
comparison of existing user-space implementation
(poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module,
it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.

There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are:
1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated
3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages
4. fixed many coding style issues
Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
