be4f3cd0d9 Summer of Code 2005: improve libalias - part 1 of 2
With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:

-made libalias modular:

 -support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
  hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
  modules loadable at runtime

 -modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
  user land (/lib/libalias_*)

 -protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
  skinny and smedia

-added logging support for kernel side

-cleanup

After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.

During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.

User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.

The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).

General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.

NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

59dde15e82 Disable checksum processing in LibAlias, when it works as a
kernel module. LibAlias is not aware about checksum offloading,
so the caller should provide checksum calculation. (The only
current consumer is ng_nat(4)). When TCP packet internals has
been changed and it requires checksum recalculation, a cookie
is set in th_x2 field of TCP packet, to inform caller that it
needs to recalculate checksum. This ugly hack would be removed
when LibAlias is made more kernel friendly.

Incremental checksum updates are left as is, since they don't
conflict with offloading.

72f2d6578c - Don't use legacy function in a non-legacy one. This gives us
possibility to compile libalias without legacy support.
- Use correct way to mark variable as unused.

9fa0fd2682 Introduce inline {ip,udp,tcp}_next() functions which take a pointer to an
{ip,udp,tcp} header and return a void * pointing to the payload (i.e. the
first byte past the end of the header and any required padding).  Use them
consistently throughout libalias to a) reduce code duplication, b) improve
code legibility, c) get rid of a bunch of alignment warnings.

ed01a58215 Make libalias WARNS?=6-clean. This mostly involves renaming variables
named link, foo_link or link_foo to lnk, foo_lnk or lnk_foo, fixing
signed / unsigned comparisons, and shoving unused function arguments
under the carpet.

I was hoping WARNS?=6 might reveal more serious problems, and perhaps
the source of the -O2 breakage, but found no smoking gun.

f0f93429cf Run through indent(1) so I can read the code without getting a headache.
The result isn't quite knf, but it's knfer than the original, and far
more consistent.

5e289f9eb6 Mostly mechanical rework of libalias:
Makes it possible to have multiple packet aliasing instances in a
single process by moving all static and global variables into an
instance structure called "struct libalias".

Redefine a new API based on s/PacketAlias/LibAlias/g

Add new "instance" argument to all functions in the new API.

Implement old API in terms of the new API.

3b160b8b6e Create the alias library. This is currently only used by
ppp (or will be shortly).  Natd can now be updated to use
this library rather than carrying its own version of the code.
