2013-08-27netfilter: add SYNPROXY core/targetPatrick McHardy
Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy core with common functions and an address family specific target. The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie. It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size announced by the server. Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in the direction server->client.
