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.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

alternate TCP stack in other then the closed state (pre-listen/connect).
The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the
tcb is more fully formed before the init transpires.

- Re-write tcp_ctlinput6() to closely mimic the IPv4 tcp_ctlinput()
- Now that tcp_ctlinput6() updates t_maxseg, we can allow ip6_output()
to send TCP packets without looking at the tcp host cache for every
single transmit.
- Make the icmp6 code mimic the IPv4 code & avoid returning
PRC_HOSTDEAD because it is so expensive.
Without these changes in place, every TCP6 pmtu discovery or host
unreachable ICMP resulted in a call to in6_pcbnotify() which walks the
tcbinfo table with the write lock held. Because the tcbinfo table is
shared between IPv4 and IPv6, this causes huge scalabilty issues on
servers with lots of (~100K) TCP connections, to the point where even
a small percent of IPv6 traffic had a disproportionate impact on
overall throughput.

Not all mbufs passed up from device drivers are M_WRITABLE(). In
particular, the Chelsio T4/T5 driver uses a feature called "buffer packing"
to receive multiple frames in a single receive buffer. The mbufs for
these frames all share the same external storage so are treated as
read-only by the rest of the stack when multiple frames are in flight.
Previously tcp_respond() would blindly overwrite read-only mbufs when
INVARIANTS was disabled or panic with an assertion failure if INVARIANTS
was enabled. Note that the new case is a bit of a mix of the two other
cases in tcp_respond(). The TCP and IP headers must be copied explicitly
into the new mbuf instead of being inherited (similar to the m == NULL
case), but the addresses and ports must be swapped in the reply (similar
to the m != NULL case).

and t_maxseg. This dualism emerged with T/TCP, but was not properly cleaned
up after T/TCP removal. After all permutations over the years the result is
that t_maxopd stores a minimum of peer offered MSS and MTU reduced by minimum
protocol header. And t_maxseg stores (t_maxopd - TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_APPA) if
timestamps are in action, or is equal to t_maxopd otherwise. That's a very
rough estimate of MSS reduced by options length. Throughout the code it
was used in places, where preciseness was not important, like cwnd or
ssthresh calculations.
With this change:
- t_maxopd goes away.
- t_maxseg now stores MSS not adjusted by options.
- new function tcp_maxseg() is provided, that calculates MSS reduced by
options length. The functions gives a better estimate, since it takes
into account SACK state as well.

packets and/or state transitions from each TCP socket. That would help with
narrowing down certain problems we see in the field that are hard to reproduce
without understanding the history of how we got into a certain state. This
change provides just that.
It saves copies of the last N packets in a list in the tcpcb. When the tcpcb is
destroyed, the list is freed. I thought this was likely to be more
performance-friendly than saving copies of the tcpcb. Plus, with the packets,
you should be able to reverse-engineer what happened to the tcpcb.
To enable the feature, you will need to compile a kernel with the TCPPCAP
option. Even then, the feature defaults to being deactivated. You can activate
it by setting a positive value for the number of captured packets. You can do
that on either a global basis or on a per-socket basis (via a setsockopt call).
There is no way to get the packets out of the kernel other than using kmem or
getting a coredump. I thought that would help some of the legal/privacy concerns
regarding such a feature. However, it should be possible to add a future effort
to export them in PCAP format.
I tested this at low scale, and found that there were no mbuf leaks and the peak
mbuf usage appeared to be unchanged with and without the feature.
The main performance concern I can envision is the number of mbufs that would be
used on systems with a large number of sockets. If you save five packets per
direction per socket and have 3,000 sockets, that will consume at least 30,000
mbufs just to keep these packets. I tried to reduce the concerns associated with
this by limiting the number of clusters (not mbufs) that could be used for this
feature. Again, in my testing, that appears to work correctly.
