options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED
This option has to be specified in addition to IPFIRWALL_FORWARD.
With this option even packets targeted for an IP address local
to the host can be redirected. All restrictions to ensure proper
behaviour for locally generated packets are turned off. Firewall
rules have to be carefully crafted to make sure that things like
PMTU discovery do not break.
Document the two kernel options.

so that parent interface is not left in promiscous mode after carp

This is not perfect, since promisc counter is added when carp
interface is assigned an IP address. However, when address is removed
parent interface is still in promiscuous mode. Only removal of
carp interface removes promisc from parent. Same way in OpenBSD.

address is not supplied, then jail IP is choosed and in_pcbbind() is called.
Since udp_output() does not save local addr after call to in_pcbconnect_setup(),
in_pcbbind() is called for each packet, and this is incorrect.
So, we shall treat jailed sockets specially in udp_output(), we will save
their local address.
This fixes a long standing bug with broken sendto() system call in jails.

a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new
connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the
protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this
implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received
in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly
following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code,
as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not
have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set.
This change does the following:
- Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to
to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits
the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes,
preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP
after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket
layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the
actual transition is performed by solisten_proto().
- Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set,
and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as
the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice
versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket
layer.
This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state
to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes
atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require
elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

To retain the security advantage of random ports and ensure

Whenever the connection rate exceeds randomcps (10 by default),

cases for tcp_input():
While it is true that the pcbinfo lock provides a pseudo-reference to
inpcbs, both the inpcb and pcbinfo locks are required to free an
un-referenced inpcb. As such, we can release the pcbinfo lock as
long as the inpcb remains locked with the confidence that it will not
be garbage-collected. This leads to a less conservative locking
strategy that should reduce contention on the TCP pcbinfo lock.

mechanism used by pfil. This shared locking mechanism will remove
a nasty lock order reversal which occurs when ucred based rules
are used which results in hard locks while mpsafenet=1.
So this removes the debug.mpsafenet=0 requirement when using
ucred based rules with IPFW.
It should be noted that this locking mechanism does not guarantee
fairness between read and write locks, and that it will favor
firewall chain readers over writers. This seemed acceptable since
write operations to firewall chains protected by this lock tend to
be less frequent than reads.
