HPTS drives both rack and bbr, and yet there have been many complaints
about performance. This bit of work restructures hpts to help reduce CPU
overhead. It does this by now instead of relying on the timer/callout to
drive it instead use user return from a system call as well as lro flushes
to drive hpts. The timer becomes a backstop that dynamically adjusts
based on how "late" we are.

Recently (Nov) we added logic that protects against a peer negotiating a timestamp, and
then not including a timestamp. This involved in the input path doing a goto done_with_input
label. Now I suspect the code was cribbed from one in Rack that has to do with the SYN.
This had a bug, i.e. it should have a m_freem(m) before going to the label (bbr had this
missing m_freem() but rack did not). This then caused the missing m_freem to show
up in both BBR and Rack. Also looking at the code referencing m->m_pkthdr.lro_nsegs
later (after processing) is not a good idea, even though its only for logging. Best to
copy that off before any frees can take place.

When running at NF the current Rack and BBR changes with the recent
commits from Richard that cause the socket buffer lock to be held over
the ip_output() call and then finally culminating in a call to tcp_handle_wakeup()
we get a lot of leaked mbufs. I don't think that this leak is actually caused
by holding the lock or what Richard has done, but is exposing some other
bug that has probably been lying dormant for a long time. I will continue to
look (using his changes) at what is going on to try to root cause out the issue.
In the meantime I can't leave the leaks out for everyone else. So this commit
will revert all of Richards changes and move both Rack and BBR back to just
doing the old sorwakeup_locked() calls after messing with the so_rcv buffer.
We may want to look at adding back in Richards changes after I have pinpointed
the root cause of the mbuf leak and fixed it.

So it turns out that my fix before was not correct. It ended with us failing
some of the "improved" SYN tests, since we are not in the correct states.
With more digging I have figured out the root of the problem is that when
we receive a SYN|FIN the reassembly code made it so we create a segq entry
to hold the FIN. In the established state where we were not in order this
would be correct i.e. a 0 len with a FIN would need to be accepted. But
if you are in a front state we need to strip the FIN so we correctly handle
the ACK but ignore the FIN. This gets us into the proper states
and avoids the previous ack war.
I back out some of the previous changes but then add a new change
here in tcp_reass() that fixes the root cause of the issue. We still
leave the rack panic fixes in place however.

The last set of commits fixed both a panic (in rack) and an ACK-war (in freebsd and bbr).
However there was a missing case, i.e. where we get an out-of-order FIN by itself.
In such a case we don't want to leave the FIN bit set, otherwise we will do the
wrong thing and ack the FIN incorrectly. Instead we need to go through the
tcp_reasm() code and that way the FIN will be stripped and all will be well.

Michaels testing with UDP tunneling found an issue with the push bit, which was only partly fixed
in the last commit. The problem is the left edge gets transmitted before the adjustments are done
to the send_map, this means that right edge bits must be considered to be added only if
the entire RSM is being retransmitted.
Now syzkaller also continued to find a crash, which Michael sent me the reproducer for. Turns
out that the reproducer on default (freebsd) stack made the stack get into an ack-war with itself.
After fixing the reference issues in rack the same ack-war was found in rack (and bbr). Basically
what happens is we go into the reassembly code and lose the FIN bit. The trick here is we
should not be going into the reassembly code if tlen == 0 i.e. the peer never sent you anything.
That then gets the proper action on the FIN bit but then you end up in LAST_ACK with no
timers running. This is because the usrclosed function gets called and the FIN's and such have
already been exchanged. So when we should be entering FIN_WAIT2 (or even FIN_WAIT1) we get
stuck in LAST_ACK. Fixing this means tweaking the usrclosed function so that we properly
recognize the condition and drop into FIN_WAIT2 where a timer will allow at least TP_MAXIDLE
before closing (to allow time for the peer to retransmit its FIN if the ack is lost). Setting the fast_finwait2
timer can speed this up in testing.

Remove most special treatment for ifnet TLS in the TCP stack, except
for code to avoid mixing handshakes and bulk data.
This code made heroic efforts to send down entire TLS records to
NICs. It was added to improve the PCIe bus efficiency of older TLS
offload NICs which did not keep state per-session, and so would need
to re-DMA the first part(s) of a TLS record if a TLS record was sent
in multiple TCP packets or TSOs. Newer TLS offload NICs do not need
this feature.
At Netflix, we've run extensive QoE tests which show that this feature
reduces client quality metrics, presumably because the effort to send
TLS records atomically causes the server to both wait too long to send
data (leading to buffers running dry), and to send too much data at
once (leading to packet loss).

cases where you are not pacing thats probably ok, you just send an extra
window update or two. However with bbr (and rack if its paced) every time
the pacer goes off its going to send a "window update".
Also in testing bbr I have found that if we are not responding to
data right away we end up staying in startup but incorrectly holding
a pacing gain of 192 (a loss). This is because the idle window code
does not restict itself to only work with PROBE_BW. In all other

is to know the time to first byte in and time to first byte out. Currently we
have no way to know these all we have is t_starttime. That (t_starttime) tells us
what time the 3 way handshake completed. We don't know when the first
request came in or how quickly we responded. Nor from a client perspective
do we know how long from when we sent out the first byte before the
server responded.
This small change adds the ability to track the TTFB's. This will show up in
BB logging which then can be pulled for later analysis. Note that currently
the tracking is via the ticks variable of all three variables. This provides
a very rough estimate (hz=1000 its 1ms). A follow-on set of work will be
to change all three of these values into something with a much finer resolution
(either microseconds or nanoseconds), though we may want to make the resolution
configurable so that on lower powered machines we could still use the much
cheaper ticks variable.

of them have to do with TFO. Even the default stack
had one of the issues:
1) We need to make sure for rack that we don't advance
snd_nxt beyond iss when we are not doing fast open. We
otherwise can get a bunch of SYN's sent out incorrectly
with the seq number advancing.
2) When we complete the 3-way handshake we should not ever
append to reassembly if the tlen is 0, if TFO is enabled
prior to this fix we could still call the reasemmbly. Note
this effects all three stacks.
3) Rack like its cousin BBR should track if a SYN is on a
send map entry.
4) Both bbr and rack need to only consider len incremented on a SYN
if the starting seq is iss, otherwise we don't increment len which
may mean we return without adding a sendmap entry.

This change is build on top of nexthop objects introduced in r359823.
Nexthops are separate datastructures, containing all necessary information
to perform packet forwarding such as gateway interface and mtu. Nexthops
are shared among the routes, providing more pre-computed cache-efficient
data while requiring less memory. Splitting the LPM code and the attached
data solves multiple long-standing problems in the routing layer,
drastically reduces the coupling with outher parts of the stack and allows
to transparently introduce faster lookup algorithms.
Route caching was (re)introduced to minimise (slow) routing lookups, allowing
for notably better performance for large TCP senders. Caching works by
acquiring rtentry reference, which is protected by per-rtentry mutex.
If the routing table is changed (checked by comparing the rtable generation id)
or link goes down, cache record gets withdrawn.
Nexthops have the same reference counting interface, backed by refcount(9).
This change merely replaces rtentry with the actual forwarding nextop as a
cached object, which is mostly mechanical. Other moving parts like cache
cleanup on rtable change remains the same.
