mp_maxid or CPU_FOREACH() as appropriate. This fixes a number of places in
the kernel that assumed CPU IDs are dense in [0, mp_ncpus) and would try,
for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the
range and mp_maxid > mp_ncpus. Such circumstances generally occur on
systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system
operation at least on POWER8 systems configured in this way.
There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known
to occur, mostly in the ARM machine-dependent code. These will be fixed
in a follow-up commit after the stable/11 branch.

Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the

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.

Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

Additionally, radix should not known anything about its consumers internals.
So, radix code now uses tiny 'struct radix_head' structure along with
internal 'struct radix_mask_head' instead of 'struct radix_node_head'.
Existing consumers still uses the same 'struct radix_node_head' with

The only piece of information that is required is rt_flags subset.
In particular, if_loop() requires RTF_REJECT and RTF_BLACKHOLE flags
to check if this particular mbuf needs to be dropped (and what
error should be returned).
Note that if_loop() will always return EHOSTUNREACH for "reject" routes
regardless of RTF_HOST flag existence. This is due to upcoming routing

There are 11 places where non-zero 'struct route' is passed to if_output().
For most of the callers (forwarding, bpf, arp) does not care about exact
error value. In fact, the only place where this result is propagated
is ip_output(). (ip6_output() passes NULL route to nd6_output_ifp()).
Given that, add 3 new 'struct route' flags (RT_REJECT, RT_BLACKHOLE and

Add ro_mtu field to 'struct route' to be able to pass lookup MTU back to

Currently, ip6_getpmtu() has 2 totally different use cases:
1) control plane (IPV6_PATHMTU req), where we just need to calculate MTU
and return it, w/o any reusability.
2) Actual ip6_output() data path where we (nearly) always use the provided
route lookup data. If this data is not 'valid' we need to perform another
lookup and save the result (which cannot be re-used by ip6_output()).
Given that, handle 1) by calling separate function doing rte lookup itself.
Resulting MTU is calculated by (newly-added) ip6_calcmtu() used by both
ip6_getpmtu_ctl() and ip6_getpmtu().
For 2) instead of storing ref'ed rte, store mtu (the only needed data
from the lookup result) inside newly-added ro_mtu field.

These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data

need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios

Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable

Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.
BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is
