Tom Herbert de551f2eb2 net: Build IPv6 into kernel by default
This patch makes the default to build IPv6 into the kernel. IPv6
now has significant traction and any remaining vestiges of IPv6
not being provided parity with IPv4 should be swept away. IPv6 is now
core to the Internet and kernel.

Points on IPv6 adoption:

- Per Google statistics, IPv6 usage has reached 7% on the Internet
  and continues to exhibit an exponential growth rate
  https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
- Just a few days ago ARIN officially depleted its IPv4 pool
- IPv6 only data centers are being successfully built
  (e.g. at Facebook)

This patch changes the IPv6 Kconfig for IPV6. Default for CONFIG_IPV6
is set to "y" and the text has been updated to reflect the maturity of
IPv6.

Impact:

Under some circumstances building modules in to kernel might have a
performance advantage. In my testing, I did notice a very slight
improvement.

This will obviously increase the size of the kernel image. In my
configuration I see:

IPv6 as module:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
9703666 1899288  933888 12536842         bf4c0a vmlinux

IPv6 built into kernel

  text     data     bss     dec     hex filename
9436490 1879600  913408 12229498         ba9b7a vmlinux

Which increases text size by ~270K (2.8% increase in size for me). If
image size is an issue, presumably for a device which does not do IP
networking (IMO we should be discouraging IPv4-only devices), IPV6 can
be disabled or still built as a module.

---help---
Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give
the notion of a secure tunnel for IPSEC and then use routing protocol
on top.

---help---
Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6
into IPv4 packets. This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6
networks over an IPv4-only path.
Saying M here will produce a module called sit. If unsure, say Y.
config IPV6_SIT_6RD
bool "IPv6: IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)"
depends on IPV6_SIT
default n
---help---
IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.
If unsure, say N.

config IPV6_GRE
tristate "IPv6: GRE tunnel"
select IPV6_TUNNEL
select NET_IP_TUNNEL
---help---
Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
through the tunnel.
Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N.

config IPV6_SUBTREES
bool "IPv6: source address based routing"
depends on IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
---help---
Enable routing by source address or prefix.
The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior. This can be
avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
source prefix specific routes.
If unsure, say N.

select FIB_RULES
help
Normally, a multicast router runs a userspace daemon and decides
what to do with a multicast packet based on the source and
destination addresses. If you say Y here, the multicast router
will also be able to take interfaces and packet marks into
account and run multiple instances of userspace daemons
simultaneously, each one handling a single table.
If unsure, say N.
