- implement a 1us purgatory for the session structures
by adding a special connection list, where all connections
about to be deleted go.
- add per-list-head timeouts updated upon the list enqueue/dequeue
for connection idle management
- add a "unused" session list with list ID#0, which should
never be used unless there is a logic error. Use this ID
to initialize the sessions.
- improve the maintainability of the session linked list
structures by using symbolic bogus index name instead of ~0
- change the ordering of session creations - first reverse, then
local. To minimize the potential for two workers competing for
the same session in the corner case of the two packets
on different workers creating the same logical session
- reduce the maximum session count to keep the memory usage the same
- add extra log/debug/trace to session cleaning logic
- be more aggressive with cleaning up sessions - wind up the
interrupts from the workers to themselves if there is more
work to do

per-packet session key
Using a separate session key has proven to be tricky for the following reasons:
- it's a lot of storage to have what looks to be nearly identical to 5tuple,
just maybe with some fields swapped
- shuffling the fields from 5tuple adds to memory pressure
- the fact that the fields do not coincide with the packet memory
means for any staged processing we need to use up a lot of memory
Thus, just add two entries into the bihash table pointing to
the same session entry, so we could match the packets from either
direction.
With this we have the key layout of L3 info (which takes up
the majority of space for IPv6 case) the same as in the packet,
thus, opening up the possibility for other optimizations.
Not having to create and store a separate session key
should also give us a small performance win in itself.
Also, add the routine to show the session bihash in a better
way than a bunch of numbers.
Alas, the memory usage in the bihash obviously doubles.

(re-)applied
There were several discussions in which users would expect the sessions to be deleted
if the new policy after the change does not permit them.
There is no right or wrong answer to this question - it is a policy decision.
This patch implements an idea to approach this. It uses a per-interface-per-direction counter to designate
a "policy epoch" - a period of unchanging rulesets. The moment one removes or adds an ACL applied to
an interface, this counter increments.
The newly created connections inherit the current policy epoch in a given direction.
Likewise, this counter increments if anyone updates an ACL applied to an interface.
There is also a new (so far hidden) CLI "set acl-plugin reclassify-sessions [0|1]"
(with default being 0) which allows to enable the checking of the existing sessions
against the current policy epoch in a given direction.
The session is not verified unless there is traffic hitting that session
*in the direction of the policy creation* - if the epoch has changed,
the session is deleted and within the same processing cycle is evaluated
against the ACL rule base and recreated - thus, it should allow traffic-driven
session state refresh without affecting the connectivity for the existing sessions.
If the packet is coming in the direction opposite to which the session was initially
created, the state adjustment is never done, because doing so generically
is not really possible without diving too deep into the special cases,
which may or may not work.

other plugins
This code implements the functionality required for other plugins wishing
to perform ACL lookups in the contexts of their choice, rather than only
in the context of the interface in/out.
The lookups are the stateless ACLs - there is no concept of "direction"
within the context, hence no concept of "connection" either.
The plugins need to include the
The file acl_lookup_context.md has more info.

conn cleaner threads interactions
This replaces some of the early-stage commented-out printf()s with
an elog-based debug collector.
It is aimed to be "better than nothing" initial implementation to be available
in the field. It will be refined/updated based on use. This initial code
is focused on the main/worker threads interactions, hence uses just
the worker tracks.
This code adds a developer debug CLI "set acl-plugin session table event-trace 1",
which allows to gather the events pertaining to connection cleaning.
The CLI is deliberately not part of the online help, as the express
declaration that the semantics/trace levels, etc. are subject to change
without notice.

format from hex representation
Even though the trace now prints the hex as well as human readable format for acl plugin,
it can be handy to have a separate function which allows to decode the hex. So add this debug CLI.

In multithread setup the main thread may send packets,
which may pass through the node with permit+reflect action.
This creates the connection in lists for thread0,
however in multithread there are no interupt handlers there.
Ensure we are not spending too much time spinning in a
tight cycle by suspending the main cleaner thread
until the current iteration of interrupts is processed.

Fix several threading-related issues uncovered by the CSIT scale/performance test:
- make the per-interface add/del counters per-thread
- preallocate the per-worker session pools rather than
attempting to resize them within the datapath
- move the bihash initialization to the moment of ACL
being applied rather than later during the connection creation
- adjust the connection cleaning logic to not require
the signaling from workers to main thread
- make the connection lists check in the main thread robust against workers
updating the list heads at the same time
- add more information to "show acl-plugin sessions" to aid in debugging

Add a bihash-based ACL lookup mechanism and make it a new default.
This changes the time required to lookup a 5-tuple match
from O(total_N_entries) to O(total_N_mask_types), where
"mask type" is an overall mask on the 5-tuple required
to represent an ACE.
For testing/comparison there is a temporary debug CLI
"set acl-plugin use-hash-acl-matching {0|1}", which,
when set to 0, makes the plugin use the "old" linear lookup,
and when set to 1, makes it use the hash-based lookup.
Based on the discussions on vpp-dev mailing list,
prevent assigning the ACL index to an interface,
when the ACL with that index is not defined,
also prevent deleting an ACL if that ACL is applied.
Also, for the easier debugging of the state, there are
new debug CLI commands to see the ACL plugin state at
several layers:
"show acl-plugin acl [index N]" - show a high-level
ACL representation, used for the linear lookup and
as a base for building the hashtable-based lookup.
Also shows if a given ACL is applied somewhere.
"show acl-plugin interface [sw_if_index N]" - show
which interfaces have which ACL(s) applied.
"show acl-plugin tables" - a lower-level debug command
used to see the state of all of the related data structures
at once. There are specifiers possible, which make
for a more focused and maybe augmented output:
"show acl-plugin tables acl [index N]"
show the "bitmask-ready" representations of the ACLs,
we well as the mask types and their associated indices.
"show acl-plutin tables mask"
show the derived mask types and their indices only.
"show acl-plugin tables applied [sw_if_index N]"
show the table of all of the ACEs applied for a given
sw_if_index or all interfaces.
"show acl-plugin tables hash [verbose N]"
show the 48x8 bihash used for the ACL lookup.

A bihash-per-interface is convenient, but turns out tricky difficult from
the maintenance standpoint with the large number of interfaces.
This patch makes the sessions reside in a single hash table for all the interfaces,
adding the lower 16 bit of sw_if_index as part of the key into the previously
unused space.
There is a tradeoff, that a session with an identical 5-tuple and the same
sw_if_index modulo 65536 will match on either of the interfaces.
The probability of that is deemed sufficiently small to not worry about it.
In case it still happens before the heat death of the universe,
there is a clib_warning and the colliding packet will be dropped,
at which point we will need to bump the hash key size by another u64,
but rather not pay the cost of doing that right now.

Fix a logic error related to timing out of the connections
following the active one. To avoid this class of issue in
the future, create corresponding testcases, as well as some
trivial sanity testcases for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Since these tests are timing-dependent and take up time,
mark them as extended tests.

(VPP-682)
This fixes the previously-implicit "drop all non-first fragments" behavior
to be more in line with security rules: a non-first fragment is treated
for the purposes of matching the ACL as a packet with the port
match succeeding. This allows to change the behavior to permit
the fragmented packets for the default "permit specific rules"
ruleset, but also gives the flexibility to block the non-initial
fragments by inserting into the begining a bogus rule
which would deny the L4 traffic.
Also, add a knob which allows to potentially turn this behavior off
in case of a dire need (and revert to dropping all non-initial fragments),
via a debug CLI.
