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.

with userland.
This is a pre-step for the introduction of tcp_hostcache. The
network stack remains fully useable with this change.

the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

o add a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion to the top of netisr's that need Giant
o pickup Giant (when debug_mpsafenet is 1) inside ip_input before
calling up with a packet

Giant before invoking handlers based on whether the handler needs Giant

- share policy-on-socket for listening socket.
- don't copy policy-on-socket at all. secpolicy no longer contain
spidx, which saves a lot of memory.
- deep-copy pcb policy if it is an ipsec policy. assign ID field to
all SPD entries. make it possible for racoon to grab SPD entry on
pcb.
- fixed the order of searching SA table for packets.
- fixed to get a security association header. a mode is always needed
to compare them.
- fixed that the incorrect time was set to
sadb_comb_{hard|soft}_usetime.
- disallow port spec for tunnel mode policy (as we don't reassemble).
- an user can define a policy-id.
- clear enc/auth key before freeing.
- fixed that the kernel crashed when key_spdacquire() was called
because key_spdacquire() had been implemented imcopletely.
- preparation for 64bit sequence number.
- maintain ordered list of SA, based on SA id.
- cleanup secasvar management; refcnt is key.c responsibility;
alloc/free is keydb.c responsibility.
- cleanup, avoid double-loop.
- use hash for spi-based lookup.
- mark persistent SP "persistent".
XXX in theory refcnt should do the right thing, however, we have
"spdflush" which would touch all SPs. another solution would be to
de-register persistent SPs from sptree.
- u_short -> u_int16_t
- reduce kernel stack usage by auto variable secasindex.
- clarify function name confusion. ipsec_*_policy ->
ipsec_*_pcbpolicy.
- avoid variable name confusion.
(struct inpcbpolicy *)pcb_sp, spp (struct secpolicy **), sp (struct
secpolicy *)
- count number of ipsec encapsulations on ipsec4_output, so that we
can tell ip_output() how to handle the packet further.
- When the value of the ul_proto is ICMP or ICMPV6, the port field in
"src" of the spidx specifies ICMP type, and the port field in "dst"
of the spidx specifies ICMP code.
- avoid from applying IPsec transport mode to the packets when the
kernel forwards the packets.

routine that takes a locked routing table reference and removes all
references to the entry in the various data structures. This
eliminates instances of recursive locking and also closes races
where the lock on the entry had to be dropped prior to calling
rtrequest(RTM_DELETE). This also cleans up confusion where the
caller held a reference to an entry that might have been reclaimed
(and in some cases used that reference).
