Precedence: bulk

After a few years of increasing test coverage in the MPTCP selftests, we
realised [1] the last version of the selftests is supposed to run on old
kernels without issues.

Supporting older versions is not that easy for this MPTCP case: these
selftests are often validating the internals by checking packets that
are exchanged, when some MIB counters are incremented after some
actions, how connections are getting opened and closed in some cases,
etc. In other words, it is not limited to the socket interface between
the userspace and the kernelspace.

In addition to that, the current MPTCP selftests run a lot of different
sub-tests but the TAP13 protocol used in the selftests don't support
sub-tests: one failure in sub-tests implies that the whole selftest is
seen as failed at the end because sub-tests are not tracked. It is then
important to skip sub-tests not supported by old kernels.

To minimise the modifications and reduce the complexity to support old
versions, the idea is to look at external signs and skip the whole
selftest or just some sub-tests before starting them. This cannot be
applied in all cases.

Similar to the second part, this third one focuses on marking different
sub-tests as skipped if some MPTCP features are not supported. This
time, only in "mptcp_join.sh" selftest, the remaining one, is modified.
Several techniques are used here to achieve this task:

- Before starting some tests:

  - Check if a file (sysctl knob) is present: that's what patch 12/17 is
    doing for the userspace PM feature.

  - Check if a required kernel symbol is present in /proc/kallsyms:
    patches 9, 10, 14 and 15/17 are using this technique.

  - Check if it is possible to setup a particular network environment
    requiring Netfilter or TC: if the preparation step fail, the linked
    sub-test is marked as skipped. Patch 5/17 is doing that.

  - Check if a MIB counter is available: patches 7 and 13/17 do that.

  - Check if the kernel version is newer than a specific one: patch 1/17
    adds some helpers in mptcp_lib.sh to ease its use. That's not ideal
    and it is only used as last resort but as mentioned above, it is
    important to skip tests if they are not supported not to have the
    whole selftest always being marked as failed on old kernels. Patches
    11 and 17/17 are checking the kernel version. An alternative would
    be to ignore the results for some sub-tests but that's not ideal
    too. Note that SELFTESTS_MPTCP_LIB_NO_KVERSION_CHECK env var can be
    set to 1 not to skip these tests if the running kernel doesn't have
    a supported version.

- After having launched the tests:

  - Adapt the expectations depending on the presence of a kernel symbol
    (patch 6/17) or a kernel version (patch 8/17).

  - Check is a MIB counter is available and skip the verification if
    not. Patch 4/17 is using this technique.

Before skipping tests, SELFTESTS_MPTCP_LIB_EXPECT_ALL_FEATURES env var
value is checked: if it is set to 1, the test is marked as "failed"
instead of "skipped". MPTCP public CI expects to have all features
supported and it sets this env var to 1 to catch regressions in these
new checks.

Patch 2/17 uses 'iptables-legacy' if available because it might be
needed when using an older kernel not supporting iptables-nft.

Patch 3/17 adds some helpers used in the other patches mentioned to
easily mark sub-tests as skipped.

Patch 16/17 uniforms MPTCP Join "listener" tests: it was imported code
from userspace_pm.sh but without using the "code style" and ways of
using tools and printing messages from MPTCP Join selftest.

Note that it is supposed to be the last series on this subject for -net.

Also, this will conflict with commit 0639fa230a21 ("selftests: mptcp:
add explicit check for new mibs") that is currently in net-next but not
in -net. Here is the resolution. It is a bit long but you will see, it
is simple: take the version from -net with get_counter() and for the
last one, move the new call to chk_rm_tx_nr() inside the 'if' statement:
