the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

Netgraph places an upper limit on the number of queue items it may allocate.
When there is a large number of netgraph messages travelling through the

queued at the nodes and netgraph runs out of queue items. In this case the data

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

control field compression. The ng_ppp(4) node correctly follows this
rule. However, PPPoE is an exception: when doing PPPoE *all* frames

granularity is on the same order of magnitude as the round trip time.

going initially when the first packet may get dropped
- Really fix the shutdown + timeout race condition this time
- Properly handle 32 bit sequence numbers when they wrap around
- Don't drop GRE packets with stale ACK numbers, just ignore the ACK
- Close race between node being shutdown and timer going off
Also add support for lots of statistics, and control message ASCIIfication
(MPPC) and Microsoft Point-to-Point encryption (MPPE) protocols.
Note: the MPPC part is disabled as it requires proprietary files.

- Make iface nodes removable on shutdown since FreeBSD now supports
removable interfaces
- Simplify supporting new protocols using family_enqueue(); add a
few new ones including IPv6
- Add support for configurable interface mode using new
NGM_IFACE_POINT2POINT and NGM_IFACE_BROADCAST control messages
- Remove NGM_IFACE_GET_IFADDRS control message; it just duplicates
the functionality of SIOCGIFCONF
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.
Several other misc. bug fixes.

parameter a char ** instead of a const char **. This make these
kernel routines consistent with the corresponding libc userland
routines.
Which is actually 'correct' is debatable, but consistency and
following the spec was deemed more important in this case.
