2014-06-16dissector: Get rid of now unnecessary HAVE_DISSECTOR_PROTOSTobias Klauser1-5/+0
Since commit 1cc762a ("lookup: Move UDP/TCP port and Ethernet type lookup into own module") the netsniff-ng tool is the only one using the dissector infrastructure. Thus we no longer need to conditionally device HAVE_DISSECTOR_PROTOS, since netsniff-ng is the only tool defining this. While at it, also remove the __WITH_PROTOS macro which is checked in dissector_init_ethernet/dissector_cleanup_ethernet but is defined nowhere. This will cause the functions to be called from both the ethernet and ieee80211 dissectors, thus make sure we check the initialization state before freeing as well.

2014-05-28netsniff-ng: Add netlink dissectorTobias Klauser1-0/+33
Add an initial implementation of a dissector to work on netlink messages as received from an nlmon device. Use can use it as follows to monitor netlink traffic to/from the kernel: modprobe nlmon ip link add type nlmon ip link set nlmon0 up netsniff-ng -i nlmon0 ip link set nlmon 0 down ip link del dev nlmon0 rmmod nlmon Fixes: #89 Suggested-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust
Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted. This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in klp_init_object() to make it work. The same applies to a func-walking helper. As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code now.
