Small summary
-------------
o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

'-n' to tell the driver to create _up to_ 'n' queues if enough cores are
available. For example, setting hw.cxgbe.nrxq10g="-32" will result in
16 queues if the system has 16 cores, 32 if it has 32.
There is no change in the default number of queues of any type.

The ea_name string is not nul-terminated. Correct the documentation.
Because the subsequent field is padded to 8 bytes, and the padding is
zeroed, the ea_name string will appear to be nul-terminated whenever the
length isn't exactly one (mod eight).
This was introduced in r167010 (2007).
Additionally, mark the length fields as unsigned. This particularly
matters for the single byte ea_namelength field, which can represent
extended attribute names up to 255 bytes long.
No functional change.

sh has defaulted to 'set -o emacs' since FreeBSD 9.0. Therefore, do not set
this again in .shrc, since that only serves to prevent invocations like

drain timeout handling to historical freebsd behavior.
The primary reason for these changes is the need to have tty_drain() call
ttydevsw_busy() at some reasonable sub-second rate, to poll hardware that
doesn't signal an interrupt when the transmit shift register becomes empty
(which includes virtually all USB serial hardware). Such hardware hangs
in a ttyout wait, because it never gets an opportunity to trigger a wakeup
from the sleep in tty_drain() by calling ttydisc_getc() again, after
handing the last of the buffered data to the hardware.
While researching the history of changes to tty_drain() I stumbled across
some email describing the historical BSD behavior of tcdrain() and close()
on serial ports, and the ability of comcontrol(1) to control timeout
behavior. Using that and some advice from Bruce Evans as a guide, I've
put together these changes to implement the hardware polling and restore
the historical timeout behaviors...
- tty_drain() now calls ttydevsw_busy() in a loop at 10 Hz to accomodate
hardware that requires polling for busy state.
- The "new historical" behavior for draining during close(2) is retained:
the drain timeout is "1 second without making any progress". When the
1-second timeout expires, if the count of bytes remaining in the tty
layer buffer is smaller than last time, the timeout is extended for
another second. Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be extended all
the way down to the hardware, because the interface to that layer is a
simple busy/not-busy indication.
- Due to the previous point, an application that needs a guarantee that
all data has been transmitted must use TIOCDRAIN/tcdrain(3) before
calling close(2).
- The historical behavior of honoring the drainwait setting for TIOCDRAIN
(used by tcdrain(3)) is restored.
- The historical kern.drainwait sysctl to control the global default
drainwait time is restored, but is now named kern.tty_drainwait.
- The historical default drainwait timeout of 300 seconds is restored.
- Handling of TIOCGDRAINWAIT and TIOCSDRAINWAIT ioctls is restored
(this also makes the comcontrol(1) drainwait verb work again).
- Manpages are updated to document these behaviors.
