sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags. Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task. The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts. No functional change intended.

Add the tap driver. The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of the bridge are separated by userland daemons. This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar purpose to the vmware port. Submitted by: myevmenkin@att.com, vsilyaev@mindspring.com

#ifndef _NET_IF_TAP_H_

tun/tap: merge and rename to `tuntap` tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types (tun, tap, vmnet). This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate: - tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0] - VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp [0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open. The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just wasn't quite ideal). ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and `ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a low overhead addition. (MFC commentary) This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this, and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier. I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

/* maximum receive packet size (hard limit) */
tap: add support for virtio-net offloads This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP) faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes. This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver, which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header (see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf). A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend, which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4). While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not. This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets. A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO. Reviewed by: kevans Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21263

/* VMware ioctl's */
Fix our ioctl(2) implementation when the argument is "int". New ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro. This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable being keyboard/syscons ioctls. Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the handling of old ioctls on sparc64.
