Enforcement of the accept queue limits is done by sonewconn() after the
3WHS is completed. It is not necessary to have an earlier check before a
connection request enters the SYN cache awaiting the full handshake. It
rather limits the effectiveness of the syncache by preventing legit and
illegit connections from entering it and having them shaken out before we
hit the real limit which may have vanished by then.

For both cases an RST is sent back in tcp_input().
A logic error leading to a panic is fixed where syncache_expand() would

Instead of callout_reset(9) and callout_stop(9) the new function
tcp_timer_activate() is used which then internally manages the callout.
The single new callout is a mutex callout on inpcb simplifying the
locking a bit.
tcp_timer() is the called function which handles all race conditions
in one place and then dispatches the individual timer functions.

to the smallest MSS we accept. Ideally we'd use the actual MSS information
here but it is not available yet.
For socket buffer auto sizing to be effective we need room to grow the
receive window. The window scale shift is determined at connection setup
and can't be changed afterwards. The previous, original, method effectively
just did a power of two roundup of the socket buffer size at connection
setup severely limiting the headroom for larger socket buffers.

kernel. This LOR snuck in with some of the recent syncache changes. To
fix this, the inpcb handling was changed:
- Hang a MAC label off the syncache object
- When the syncache entry is initially created, we pickup the PCB lock
is held because we extract information from it while initializing the
syncache entry. While we do this, copy the MAC label associated with
the PCB and use it for the syncache entry.
- When the packet is transmitted, copy the label from the syncache entry
to the mbuf so it can be processed by security policies which analyze
mbuf labels.
This change required that the MAC framework be extended to support the
label copy operations from the PCB to the syncache entry, and then from
the syncache entry to the mbuf.
These functions really should be referencing the syncache structure instead
of the label. However, due to some of the complexities associated with
exposing this syncache structure we operate directly on it's label pointer.
This should be OK since we aren't making any access control decisions within
this code directly, we are merely allocating and copying label storage so
we can properly initialize mbuf labels for any packets the syncache code
might create.
This also has a nice side effect of caching. Prior to this change, the
PCB would be looked up/locked for each packet transmitted. Now the label
is cached at the time the syncache entry is initialized.

functionality:
- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking
is now integrated with the bucket row locking of syncache itself and
syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.
This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.
The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.
A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

as possible for the syncache_add() case. The syncache timer no longer
aquires the tcpinfo lock and timeout/retransmit runs can happen in
parallel with bucket granularity.
On a P4 the additional locks cause a slight degression of 0.7% in tcp
connections per second. When IP and TCP input are deserialized and
can run in parallel this little overhead can be neglected. The syncookie
handling still leaves room for improvement and its random salts may be
moved to the syncache bucket head structures to remove the second lock
operation currently required for it. However this would be a more
involved change from the way syncookies work at the moment.

Having an additional MT_HEADER mbuf type is superfluous and redundant

distinction between header mbuf's and data mbuf's is solely done
through the m->m_flags M_PKTHDR flag.
