general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Back out ip_output.c,v 1.143 and ip_mroute.c,v 1.69 that allowed
ip_output() to be called with a NULL route pointer. The previous
paragraph shows why this was a bad idea in the first place.

o Clean up <machine/endian.h> files.
o Remove unused __uint16_swap_uint32() from i386's <machine/endian.h>.
o Remove prototypes for non-existent bswapXX() functions.
o Include <machine/endian.h> in <arpa/inet.h> to define the
POSIX-required ntohl() family of functions.
o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,
and <sys/param.h>.
o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>.
o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

called and ip_output() encounters an error and bails (i.e. host
unreachable), we will leak an mbuf. This is because the code calls
m_freem(m0) after jumping to the bad: label at the end of the function,
when it should be calling m_freem(m). (m0 is the original mbuf list
_without_ the options mbuf prepended.)

type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically

is transmitted as all ones". This got broken after introduction
of delayed checksums as follows. Some guys (including Jonathan)
think that it is allowed to transmit all ones in place of a zero
checksum for TCP the same way as for UDP. (The discussion still
takes place on -net.) Thus, the 0 -> 0xffff checksum fixup was
first moved from udp_output() (see udp_usrreq.c, 1.64 -> 1.65)
to in_cksum_skip() (see sys/i386/i386/in_cksum.c, 1.17 -> 1.18,
INVERT expression). Besides that I disagree that it is valid for
TCP, there was no real problem until in_cksum.c,v 1.20, where the
in_cksum() was made just a special version of in_cksum_skip().
The side effect was that now every incoming IP datagram failed to
pass the checksum test (in_cksum() returned 0xffff when it should
actually return zero). It was fixed next day in revision 1.21,
by removing the INVERT expression. The latter also broke the
0 -> 0xffff fixup for UDP checksums.

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.

* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to

fields between host and network byte order. The details:
o icmp_error() now does not add IP header length. This fixes the problem
when icmp_error() is called from ip_forward(). In this case the ip_len
of the original IP datagram returned with ICMP error was wrong.
o icmp_error() expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_id and ip_off in host
byte order, so DTRT and convert these fields back to network byte order
before sending a message. This fixes the problem described in PR 16240
and PR 20877 (ip_id field was returned in host byte order).
o ip_ttl decrement operation in ip_forward() was moved down to make sure
that it does not corrupt the copy of original IP datagram passed later
to icmp_error().
o A copy of original IP datagram in ip_forward() was made a read-write,
independent copy. This fixes the problem I first reported to Garrett
Wollman and Bill Fenner and later put in audit trail of PR 16240:
ip_output() (not always) converts fields of original datagram to network
byte order, but because copy (mcopy) and its original (m) most likely
share the same mbuf cluster, ip_output()'s manipulations on original
also corrupted the copy.
o ip_output() now expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_off and (what is
significant) ip_id in host byte order. It was a headache for years that
ip_id was handled differently. The only compatibility issue here is the
raw IP socket interface with IP_HDRINCL socket option set and a non-zero
ip_id field, but ip.4 manual page was unclear on whether in this case
ip_id field should be in host or network byte order.
