/*
* Structures defining a network interface, providing a packet
* transport mechanism (ala level 0 of the PUP protocols).
*
* Each interface accepts output datagrams of a specified maximum
* length, and provides higher level routines with input datagrams
* received from its medium.
*
* Output occurs when the routine if_output is called, with three parameters:
* (*ifp->if_output)(ifp, m, dst, rt)
* Here m is the mbuf chain to be sent and dst is the destination address.
* The output routine encapsulates the supplied datagram if necessary,
* and then transmits it on its medium.
*
* On input, each interface unwraps the data received by it, and either
* places it on the input queue of an internetwork datagram routine
* and posts the associated software interrupt, or passes the datagram to a raw
* packet input routine.
*
* Routines exist for locating interfaces by their addresses
* or for locating an interface on a certain network, as well as more general
* routing and gateway routines maintaining information used to locate
* interfaces. These routines live in the files if.c and route.c

Modify the MAC Framework so that instead of embedding a (struct label) in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a (struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures. This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability. While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable) performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory. NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&' symbol.

Change and clean the mutex lock interface. 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. Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared if WITNESS is enabled. Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the "optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently need those. Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code. Contributors: jake, jhb, jasone (in no particular order)

Device Polling code for -current. Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment. To use this code you must compile a kernel with options DEVICE_POLLING and at runtime enable polling with sysctl kern.polling.enable=1 The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50) while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's. These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for more details on them. Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac). The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/ and also supports polling in the idle loop. NOTE to Alpha developers: There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific. If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like trying it, I would appreciate it. NOTE to other developers: sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and I greatly appreciated. However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a simple timeout.

Device Polling code for -current. Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment. To use this code you must compile a kernel with options DEVICE_POLLING and at runtime enable polling with sysctl kern.polling.enable=1 The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50) while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's. These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for more details on them. Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac). The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/ and also supports polling in the idle loop. NOTE to Alpha developers: There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific. If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like trying it, I would appreciate it. NOTE to other developers: sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and I greatly appreciated. However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a simple timeout.
