This adds the ability to configure marks the in- and/or outbound SA
should apply to packets after processing on Linux. Configuring such a mark
for outbound SAs requires at least a 4.14 kernel. The ability to set a mask
and configuring a mark/mask for inbound SAs will be added with the upcoming
4.19 kernel.
For inbound processing, it can be rather useful to apply the mark to the
packet in the SA, so the associated policy with that mark implicitly matches.
When using %unique as match mark, we don't know the mark beforehand, so
we most likely want to set the mark we match against.
%unique (and the upcoming %same key) are usable in specific contexts only.
To restrict the user from using it in other places where it does not get the
expected results, reject such keywords unless explicitly allowed.
We don't retransmit DPD requests like we do requests for proper exchanges,
so increasing the number with each sent DPD could result in the peer's state
getting out of sync if DPDs are lost. Because according to RFC 3706, DPDs
with an unexpected sequence number SHOULD be rejected (it does mention the
possibility of maintaining a window of acceptable numbers, but we currently
don't implement that). We partially ignore such messages (i.e. we don't
update the expected sequence number and the inbound message stats, so we
might send a DPD when none is required). However, we always send a response,
so a peer won't really notice this (it also ensures a reply for "retransmits"
caused by this change, i.e. multiple DPDs with the same number - hopefully,
other implementations behave similarly when receiving such messages).
Fixes#2714.
This is mainly for HA where a passive SA was already created when the
IKE keys were derived. If e.g. an authentication error occurs later that
SA wouldn't get cleaned up.
The reload of the configuration of the loggers so far only included
the log levels. In order to support the reload of all other options,
a reload function may be implemented.

Adds new options that allow configuring how/whether certain fields in
the IP headers are copied during IPsec processing. Currently only allows
configuration on Linux.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#104.
The options control whether the DF and ECN header bits/fields are copied
from the unencrypted packets to the encrypted packets in tunnel mode (DF only
for IPv4), and for ECN whether the same is done for inbound packets.
Note: This implementation only works with Linux/Netlink/XFRM.
Based on a patch by Markus Sattler.
During a test with ~12000 established SAs it was noted that vici
related operations hung.
The operations took over 16 minutes to finish. The time was spent in
the vici message parser, which was assigning the message over and over
again, to get rid of the already parsed portions.
First fixed by cutting the consumed parts off without copying the message.
Runtime for ~12000 SAs is now around 20 seconds.
Further optimization brought the runtime down to roughly 1-2 seconds
by using an fd to read through the message variable.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#103.
The code to support parallel Netlink queries (commit 3c7193f) made use
of nlmsg_len member from struct nlmsghdr to allocate and copy the
responses. Since NLMSG_NEXT is later used to parse these responses, they
must be aligned, or the results are undefined.
