b5df85a6fd Implemented so that Mesh forwarding information lifetime is dynamic.
* Introduced ieee80211_mesh_rt_update that updates a route with the
 maximum(lifetime left, new lifetime);
 * Modified ieee80211_mesh_route struct by adding a lock that will be used
 by both ieee80211_mesh_rt_update and precursor code (added in future commit);
 * Modified in ieee80211_hwmp.c HWMP code to use new ieee80211_mesh_rt_update;
 * Modified mesh_rt_flush_invalid to use new ieee80211_mesh_rt_update;
 * mesh_rt_flush also checks that lifetime == 0, this gives route discovery
 a change to complete;
 * Modified mesh_recv_mgmt case IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_BEACON:
 when ever we received a beacon from a neighbor we update route lifetime;

530c006014 Merge the remainder of kern_vimage.c and vimage.h into vnet.c and
vnet.h, we now use jails (rather than vimages) as the abstraction
for virtualization management, and what remained was specific to
virtual network stacks.  Minor cleanups are done in the process,
and comments updated to reflect these changes.

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

59aa14a91d Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.

Authentication and encryption are not implemented.

There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).

A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.

Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh

Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
  for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly
  unavailable
o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and
  per-com state when there are active taps
o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
  state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
  bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
  should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always
  a mistake)
o update various drivers to be more consistent/correct in handling radiotap

33553d6e99 For all files including net/vnet.h directly include opt_route.h and
net/route.h.

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.

We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.

This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

10ad9a77f3 TDMA support for long distance point-to-point links using ath devices:
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
  existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
  conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
  they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
  configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits

While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

4b79449e2f Rather than using hidden includes (with cicular dependencies),
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

8b615593fc Step 1.5 of importing the network stack virtualization infrastructure
from the vimage project, as per plan established at devsummit 08/08:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Image/Notes200808DevSummit

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.

Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().

Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).

All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).

(*) netipsec/keysock.c did not validate depending on compile time options.

e6e547d57b Crypto api changes:
o don't use the key index to identify when the driver has been
  asked to allocate a key slot, use an explicit flag; allows
  drivers to force s/w fallback for entries in the global table
o change callback api to allocate driver resources for a crypto key:
  - de-const the key parameter so drivers can muck with the flags
  - on callback failure don't automatically try to setup s/w crypto;
    instead the driver must now mark the key entry for s/w crypto and
    the caller will re-attach the cipher module

NB: api change permits drivers more control over fallback to s/w
    crypto (e.g. based on a limited number of h/w key slots)
