Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.
Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.
Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.
For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).
Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.

ensure all per-vnet related hhook initialisation is completed prior to any
virtualised hhook points attempting registration.
vnet_register_sysinit() requires that a stage later than SI_SUB_VNET be chosen.
There are no per-vnet initialisors in the source tree at this time which run
earlier than SI_SUB_INIT_IF. A quick audit of non-virtualised SYSINITs indicates
there are no subsystems pre SI_SUB_MBUF that would likely be interested in
registering a virtualised hhook point.
Settle on SI_SUB_MBUF as hhook's per-vnet initialisation stage as it's the first
overtly network-related initilisation stage to run after SI_SUB_VNET. If a
subsystem that initialises earlier than SI_SUB_MBUF ends up wanting to register
virtualised hhook points in future, hhook's use of SI_SUB_MBUF will need to be
revisited and would probably warrant creating a dedicated SI_SUB_HHOOK which
runs immediately after SI_SUB_VNET.

identified by type, id and a vid (which for vimage is the pointer to the vnet
that the hhook resides in).
All hhook_head structs for both virtualised and non-virtualised hook points
coexist in hhook_head_list, and a separate list is maintained for hhook points
within each vnet to simplify some vimage-related housekeeping.

and in many respects can be thought of as a more generic superset of pfil.
Hhook provides a way for kernel subsystems to export hook points that Khelp
modules can hook to provide enhanced or new functionality to the kernel. The
KPI has been designed to ensure hook points pose no noticeable overhead when
no hook functions are registered.
- Introduce the Khelp (Kernel Helpers) KPI. Khelp provides a framework for
managing Khelp modules, which indirectly use the Hhook KPI to register their
hook functions with hook points of interest within the kernel. Khelp modules
aim to provide a structured way to dynamically extend the kernel at runtime in
an ABI preserving manner. Depending on the subsystem providing hook points, a
Khelp module may be able to associate per-object data for maintaining relevant
state between hook calls.
- pjd's Object Specific Data (OSD) KPI is used to manage the per-object data
allocated to Khelp modules. Create a new "OSD_KHELP" OSD type for use by the
Khelp framework.
- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900028 to mark the introduction of the new KPIs.
