51716196a4 Support /dev/tun cloning. Ansify if_tun.c while I'm there.
Only tun0 -> tun32767 may now be opened as struct ifnet's if_unit
is a short.

It's now possible to open /dev/tun and get a handle back for an available
tun device (use devname to find out what you got).

The implementation uses rman by popular demand (and against my judgement)
to track opened devices and uses the new dev_depends() to ensure that
all make_dev()d devices go away before the module is unloaded.

fb45b6d4e3 Allow MOD_UNLOADs of if_tun, and handle event handler registration
failures in MOD_LOAD.

Dodge duplicate make_dev() calls by (ab)using dev->si_drv2 to
remember if we created the device node via a dev_clone callback
before the d_open call.

43e8def200 Implement TUN[GS]IFHEAD ioctls. Passing a non-zero int to TUNSIFHEAD
tells that tun unit to prepend a four byte address family to packets
queued for tunread() and to expect a four byte address family at the
front of data received by tunwrite().

We queue any protocol received from the interface for tunread(), but
only accept INET, INET6, IPX and NETATALK from tunwrite().  There is
support for Xerox's NS stuff, but AFAICT config(8) doesn't ever
define NS.

413dd0ba39 Add a new interface ioctl, to return "aux status".
This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.

The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.

Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c

Initial use:
        Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.

Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
        Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
        Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
        alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
        Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables

62d6ce3af2 I got another batch of suggestions for cosmetic changes from bde. 1998-11-11 10:56:07 +00:00

831d27a9f5 Installed the second patch attached to kern/7899 with some changes suggested
by bde, a few other tweaks to get the patch to apply cleanly again and
some improvements to the comments.

This change closes some fairly minor security holes associated with
F_SETOWN, fixes a few bugs, and removes some limitations that F_SETOWN
had on tty devices.  For more details, see the description on the PR.

Because this patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures,
it is necessary to re-install the includes and recompile libkvm,
the vinum lkm, fstat, gcore, gdb, ipfilter, ps, top, and w.
