Tony Lu d7cd421da9 net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support
This implements TCP ULP for SMC, helps applications to replace TCP with
SMC protocol in place. And we use it to implement transparent
replacement.

This replaces original TCP sockets with SMC, reuse TCP as clcsock when
calling setsockopt with TCP_ULP option, and without any overhead.

To replace TCP sockets with SMC, there are two approaches:

- use setsockopt() syscall with TCP_ULP option, if error, it would
  fallback to TCP.

- use BPF prog with types BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE or others to
  replace transparently. BPF hooks some points in create socket, bind
  and others, users can inject their BPF logics without modifying their
  applications, and choose which connections should be replaced with SMC
  by calling setsockopt() in BPF prog, based on rules, such as TCP tuples,
  PID, cgroup, etc...

  BPF doesn't support calling setsockopt with TCP_ULP now, I will send the
  patches after this accepted.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
