faa693cdbe Remove the sleep from the buffer allocation routine.
The buffer must be allocated (or even changed) before the interface is set
and thus, there is no need to verify if the buffer is in use.

3b3b91e736 Changes to resolve races in bpfread() and catchpacket() that, at worst,
cause kernel panics.

Add a flag to the bpf descriptor to indicate whether the hold buffer
is in use. In bpfread(), set the "hold buffer in use" flag before
dropping the descriptor lock during the call to bpf_uiomove().
Everywhere else the hold buffer is used or changed, wait while
the hold buffer is in use by bpfread(). Add a KASSERT in bpfread()
after re-acquiring the descriptor lock to assist uncovering any
additional hold buffer races.

c7b0200eb5 Call bpf_jitter() before acquiring BPF global lock due to malloc() being used inside bpf_jitter.
Eliminate bpf_buffer_alloc() and allocate BPF buffers on descriptor creation and BIOCSBLEN ioctl.
This permits us not to allocate buffers inside bpf_attachd() which is protected by global lock.

afa85850e7 Fix old panic when BPF consumer attaches to destroying interface.
'flags' field is added to the end of bpf_if structure. Currently the only
flag is BPFIF_FLAG_DYING which is set on bpf detach and checked by bpf_attachd()
Problem can be easily triggered on SMP stable/[89] by the following command (sort of):
'while true; do ifconfig vlan222 create vlan 222 vlandev em0 up ; tcpdump -pi vlan222 & ; ifconfig vlan222 destroy ; done'

Fix possible use-after-free when BPF detaches itself from interface, freeing bpf_bif memory,
while interface is still UP and there can be routes via this interface.
Freeing is now delayed till ifnet_departure_event is received via eventhandler(9) api.

Convert bpfd rwlock back to mutex due lack of performance gain (currently checking if packet
matches filter is done without holding bpfd lock and we have to acquire write lock if packet matches)

e4b3229aa5 - Improve BPF locking model.
Interface locks and descriptor locks are converted from mutex(9) to rwlock(9).
This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1
reader lock instead of 2 mutexes.

- Remove filter(descriptor) (reader) lock in bpf_mtap[2]
This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface
writer lock on filter change.

- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h
without including rwlock stuff. However, this is is temporary solution,
struct bpf_if should be made opaque for any external caller.

4d621040ff Introduce support for zero-copy BPF buffering, which reduces the
overhead of packet capture by allowing a user process to directly "loan"
buffer memory to the kernel rather than using read(2) to explicitly copy
data from kernel address space.

The user process will issue new BPF ioctls to set the shared memory
buffer mode and provide pointers to buffers and their size. The kernel
then wires and maps the pages into kernel address space using sf_buf(9),
which on supporting architectures will use the direct map region. The
current "buffered" access mode remains the default, and support for
zero-copy buffers must, for the time being, be explicitly enabled using
a sysctl for the kernel to accept requests to use it.

The kernel and user process synchronize use of the buffers with atomic
operations, avoiding the need for system calls under load; the user
process may use select()/poll()/kqueue() to manage blocking while
waiting for network data if the user process is able to consume data
faster than the kernel generates it. Patchs to libpcap are available
to allow libpcap applications to transparently take advantage of this
support. Detailed information on the new API may be found in bpf(4),
including specific atomic operations and memory barriers required to
synchronize buffer use safely.

These changes modify the base BPF implementation to (roughly) abstrac
the current buffer model, allowing the new shared memory model to be
added, and add new monitoring statistics for netstat to print. The
implementation, with the exception of some monitoring hanges that break
the netstat monitoring ABI for BPF, will be MFC'd.

Zerocopy bpf buffers are still considered experimental are disabled
by default. To experiment with this new facility, adjust the
net.bpf.zerocopy_enable sysctl variable to 1.

Changes to libpcap will be made available as a patch for the time being,
and further refinements to the implementation are expected.

[1] Certain portions will probably not be MFCed, specifically things
    that can break the monitoring ABI.
