all pertinent statatistics for the subsystem. These structures are
sometimes "borrowed" by kernel modules that require a place to store
statistics for similar events.
Add KPI accessor functions for statistics structures referenced by kernel
modules so that they no longer encode certain specifics of how the data
structures are named and stored. This change is intended to make it
easier to move to per-CPU network stats following 8.0-RELEASE.
The following modules are affected by this change:
if_bridge
if_cxgb
if_gif
ip_mroute
ipdivert
pf
In practice, most of these statistics consumers should, in fact, maintain
their own statistics data structures rather than borrowing structures
from the base network stack. However, that change is too agressive for
this point in the release cycle.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

macros: ICMPSTAT_ADD(), ICMPSTAT_INC(), ICMP6STAT_ADD(), and
ICMP6STAT_INC(), rather than directly manipulating the fields
of these structures across the kernel. This will make it
easier to change the implementation of these statistics,
such as using per-CPU versions of the data structures.
In on case, icmp6stat members are manipulated indirectly, by
icmp6_errcount(), and this will require further work to fix
for per-CPU stats.

Put the extern declarations of the virtualized globals
under VIMAGE_GLOBAL as the globals themsevles are already.
This will help by the time when we are going to remove the globals
entirely.

- Also cleaned up the code so that the semantics of the icmp6_nodeinfo
flags is clearer (i.e., defined specific macro names instead of using
hard-coded values).

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.

critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.
TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should

KAME put INET6 related stuff into sys/netinet6 dir, but IPv6
standard API(RFC2553) require following files to be under sys/netinet.
netinet/ip6.h
netinet/icmp6.h
Now those header files just include each following files.
netinet6/ip6.h
netinet6/icmp6.h
Also KAME has netinet6/in6.h for easy INET6 common defs
sharing between different BSDs, but RFC2553 requires only
netinet/in.h should be included from userland.
So netinet/in.h also includes netinet6/in6.h inside.
To keep apps portability, apps should not directly include
above files from netinet6 dir.
Ideally, all contents of,
netinet6/ip6.h
netinet6/icmp6.h
netinet6/in6.h
should be moved into
netinet/ip6.h
netinet/icmp6.h
netinet/in.h
but to avoid big changes in this stage, add some hack, that
-Put some special macro define into those files under neitnet
-Let files under netinet6 cause error if it is included
from some apps, and, if the specifal macro define is not
defined.
(which should have been defined if files under netinet is
included)
-And let them print an error message which tells the
correct name of the include file to be included.
Also fix apps which includes invalid header files.
