the socket layer during connection close, which requires locking
changes. To do this, introduce MAC Framework entry point
mac_create_mbuf_from_inpcb(), which is called from tcp_twrespond()
instead of calling mac_create_mbuf_from_socket() or
mac_create_mbuf_netlayer(). Introduce MAC Policy entry point
mpo_create_mbuf_from_inpcb(), and implementations for various
policies, which generally just copy label data from the inpcb to
the mbuf. Assert the inpcb lock in the entry point since we
require consistency for the inpcb label reference.

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

mac_reflect_mbuf_icmp()
mac_reflect_mbuf_tcp()
These entry points permit MAC policies to do "update in place"
changes to the labels on ICMP and TCP mbuf headers when an ICMP or
TCP response is generated to a packet outside of the context of
an existing socket. For example, in respond to a ping or a RST
packet to a SYN on a closed port.

sure that the MAC label on TCP responses during TIMEWAIT is
properly set from either the socket (if available), or the mbuf
that it's responding to.
Unfortunately, this is made somewhat difficult by the TCP code,
as tcp_twstart() calls tcp_twrespond() after discarding the socket
but without a reference to the mbuf that causes the "response".
Passing both the socket and the mbuf works arounds this--eventually
it might be good to make sure the mbuf always gets passed in in
"response" scenarios but working through this provided to
complicate things too much.

that inp->in_socket was sometimes now NULL, but the logic wasn't
quite right, meaning that inp->in_socket would be dereferenced by
cr_canseesocket() if security.bsd.see_other_uids, jail, or MAC

Note: the work-around originally introduced with the reduced TCP

in this case isn't really right, although it "Does the right thing"

Instrument the TCP socket code for packet generation and delivery:
label outgoing mbufs with the label of the socket, and check socket and
mbuf labels before permitting delivery to a socket. Assign labels
to newly accepted connections when the syncache/cookie code has done
its business. Also set peer labels as convenient. Currently,
MAC policies cannot influence the PCB matching algorithm, so cannot
implement polyinstantiation. Note that there is at least one case
where a PCB is not available due to the TCP packet not being associated
with any socket, so we don't label in that case, but need to handle
it in a special manner.

net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min (default 3 ticks equiv)
This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO minimum,
specified in milliseconds. This value is
designed for algorithmic stability only.
net.inet.tcp.rexmit_slop (default 200ms)
This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO slop
which is added to every retransmit timeout and
is designed to handle protocol stack overheads
and delayed ack issues.
Note that the *original* code applied a 1-second
RTO minimum but never applied real slop to the RTO
calculation, so any RTO calculation over one second
would have no slop and thus not account for
protocol stack overheads (TCP timestamps are not
a measure of protocol turnaround!). Essentially,
the original code made the RTO calculation almost
completely irrelevant.
Please note that the 200ms slop is debateable.
This commit is not meant to be a line in the sand,
and if the community winds up deciding that increasing
it is the correct solution then it's easy to do.
Note that larger values will destroy performance
on lossy networks while smaller values may result in
a greater number of unnecessary retransmits.

similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Move the network code from using cr_cansee() to check whether a
socket is visible to a requesting credential to using a new
function, cr_canseesocket(), which accepts a subject credential
and object socket. Implement cr_canseesocket() so that it does a
prison check, a uid check, and add a comment where shortly a MAC
hook will go. This will allow MAC policies to seperately
instrument the visibility of sockets from the visibility of
processes.
