6d76822688 This change re-adds L2 caching for TCP and UDP, as originally added in D4306
but removed due to other changes in the system. Restore the llentry pointer
to the "struct route", and use it to cache the L2 lookup (ARP or ND6) as
appropriate.

- properly V_irtualise variable access unbreaking VIMAGE kernels.
- remove the volatile from the function return type to make architecture
  using gcc happy [-Wreturn-type]
  "type qualifiers ignored on function return type"
  I am not entirely happy with this solution putting the u_int there

84cc0778d0 FreeBSD previously provided route caching for TCP (and UDP). Re-add
route caching for TCP, with some improvements. In particular, invalidate
the route cache if a new route is added, which might be a better match.
The cache is automatically invalidated if the old route is deleted.

61eee0e202 MFP r287070,r287073: split radix implementation and route table structure.
There are number of radix consumers in kernel land (pf,ipfw,nfs,route)
  with different requirements. In fact, first 3 don't have _any_ requirements
  and first 2 does not use radix locking. On the other hand, routing
  structure do have these requirements (rnh_gen, multipath, custom
  to-be-added control plane functions, different locking).
Additionally, radix should not known anything about its consumers internals.

So, radix code now uses tiny 'struct radix_head' structure along with
  internal 'struct radix_mask_head' instead of 'struct radix_node_head'.
  Existing consumers still uses the same 'struct radix_node_head' with
  slight modifications: they need to pass pointer to (embedded)
  'struct radix_head' to all radix callbacks.

Routing code now uses new 'struct rib_head' with different locking macro:
  RADIX_NODE_HEAD prefix was renamed to RIB_ (which stands for routing
  information base).

New net/route_var.h header was added to hold routing subsystem internal
  data. 'struct rib_head' was placed there. 'struct rtentry' will also
  be moved there soon.

36402a681f Finish r275196: do not dereference rtentry in if_output() routines.
The only piece of information that is required is rt_flags subset.

In particular, if_loop() requires RTF_REJECT and RTF_BLACKHOLE flags
  to check if this particular mbuf needs to be dropped (and what
  error should be returned).
Note that if_loop() will always return EHOSTUNREACH for "reject" routes
  regardless of RTF_HOST flag existence. This is due to upcoming routing
  changes where RTF_HOST value won't be available as lookup result.

All other functions require RTF_GATEWAY flag to check if they need
  to return EHOSTUNREACH instead of EHOSTDOWN error.

There are 11 places where non-zero 'struct route' is passed to if_output().
For most of the callers (forwarding, bpf, arp) does not care about exact
  error value. In fact, the only place where this result is propagated
  is ip_output(). (ip6_output() passes NULL route to nd6_output_ifp()).

Given that, add 3 new 'struct route' flags (RT_REJECT, RT_BLACKHOLE and
  RT_IS_GW) and inline function (rt_update_ro_flags()) to copy necessary
  rte flags to ro_flags. Call this function in ip_output() after looking up/
  verifying rte.

9a1b64d5a0 Add rib_lookup_info() to provide API for retrieving individual route
entries data in unified format.

There are control plane functions that require information other than
  just next-hop data (e.g. individual rtentry fields like flags or
  prefix/mask). Given that the goal is to avoid rte reference/refcounting,
  re-use rt_addrinfo structure to store most rte fields. If caller wants
  to retrieve key/mask or gateway (which are sockaddrs and are allocated
  separately), it needs to provide sufficient-sized sockaddrs structures
  w/ ther pointers saved in passed rt_addrinfo.

Convert:
  * lltable new records checks (in_lltable_rtcheck(),
    nd6_is_new_addr_neighbor().
  * rtsock pre-add/change route check.
  * IPv6 NS ND-proxy check (RADIX_MPATH code was eliminated because
     1) we don't support RTF_ANNOUNCE ND-proxy for networks and there should
       not be multiple host routes for such hosts 2) if we have multiple
       routes we should inspect them (which is not done). 3) the entire idea
       of abusing KRT as storage for ND proxy seems odd. Userland programs
       should be used for that purpose).

0d4df0290e Handle IPV6_PATHMTU option by spliting ip6_getpmtu_ctl() from ip6_getpmtu().
Add ro_mtu field to 'struct route' to be able to pass lookup MTU back to
  the caller.

Currently, ip6_getpmtu() has 2 totally different use cases:
1) control plane (IPV6_PATHMTU req), where we just need to calculate MTU
  and return it, w/o any reusability.
2) Actual ip6_output() data path where we (nearly) always use the provided
  route lookup data. If this data is not 'valid' we need to perform another
  lookup and save the result (which cannot be re-used by ip6_output()).

Given that, handle 1) by calling separate function doing rte lookup itself.
  Resulting MTU is calculated by (newly-added) ip6_calcmtu() used by both
  ip6_getpmtu_ctl() and ip6_getpmtu().
For 2) instead of storing ref'ed rte, store mtu (the only needed data
  from the lookup result) inside newly-added ro_mtu field.
  'struct route' was shrinked by 8(or 4 bytes) in r292978. Grow it again
  by 4 bytes. New ro_mtu field will be used in other places like
  ip/tcp_output (EMSGSIZE handling from output routines).

4fb3a8208c Implement interface link header precomputation API.
Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating
  various link headers for given interface. Right now there is support
  for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request).
  Other types are planned to support more complex calculation
  (L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).

Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length)
  to prepend to mbuf.

These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data
  (like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the
  need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios
  like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces.
  Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable
  code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.

ARP/ND changes:
Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle
  record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating
  headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes,
  arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for
  supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output().
Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether
  returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr()
  compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.

BPF changes:
Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT.
Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only
  difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for
  AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside
  BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data
  via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change
  non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional.
Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI.
  It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is
  dev/pdq mostly untouched since 2007. FDDI support was eliminated from
  OpenBSD in 2013 (sys/net/if_fddisubr.c rev 1.65).

Flowtable changes:
  Flowtable violates layering by saving (and not correctly managing)
  rtes/lles. Instead of passing lle pointer, pass pointer to pre-calculated
  header data from that lle.

427c2f4ef0 Provide additional lle data in IPv6 lltable dump used by ndp(8).
Before the change, things like lle state were queried via
  SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 by ndp(8) for _each_ lle entry in dump.
This ioctl was added in 1999, probably to avoid touching rtsock code.

This change maps SIOCGNBRINFO_IN6 data to standard rtsock dump the
 following way:
  expire (already) maps to rtm_rmx.rmx_expire
  isrouter -> rtm_flags & RTF_GATEWAY
  asked -> rtm_rmx.rmx_pksent
  state -> rtm_rmx.rmx_state (maps to rmx_weight via define)

65ff3638df Merge helper fib* functions used for basic lookups.
Vast majority of rtalloc(9) users require only basic info from
route table (e.g. "does the rtentry interface match with the interface
  I have?". "what is the MTU?", "Give me the IPv4 source address to use",
  etc..).
Instead of hand-rolling lookups, checking if rtentry is up, valid,
  dealing with IPv6 mtu, finding "address" ifp (almost never done right),
  provide easy-to-use API hiding all the complexity and returning the
  needed info into small on-stack structure.

This change also helps hiding route subsystem internals (locking, direct
  rtentry accesses).
Additionaly, using this API improves lookup performance since rtentry is not
  locked.
(This is safe, since all the rtentry changes happens under both radix WLOCK
  and rtentry WLOCK).

bf9840512a When ip_output()/ip6_output() is supplied a struct route *ro argument,
it skips FLOWTABLE lookup. However, the non-NULL ro has dual meaning
here: it may be supplied to provide route, and it may be supplied to
store and return to caller the route that ip_output()/ip6_output()
finds. In the latter case skipping FLOWTABLE lookup is pessimisation.

The difference between struct route filled by FLOWTABLE and filled
by rtalloc() family is that the former doesn't hold a reference on
its rtentry. Reference is hold by flow entry, and it is about to
be released in future. Thus, route filled by FLOWTABLE shouldn't
be passed to RTFREE() macro.

- Introduce new flag for struct route/route_in6, that marks route
  not holding a reference on rtentry.
- Introduce new macro RO_RTFREE() that cleans up a struct route
  depending on its kind.
- All callers to ip_output()/ip6_output() that do supply non-NULL
  but empty route should use RO_RTFREE() to free results of
  lookup.
- ip_output()/ip6_output() now do FLOWTABLE lookup always when
  ro->ro_rt == NULL.

556d81ddd7 Rather than putting magic 0s as FIB argument into the rt* calls, provide
a macro RT_DEFAULT_FIB defined to 0 to more easily identify the cases
tied to the default FIB.

528737fdfe Pass the fibnum where we need filtering of the message on the
rtsock allowing routing daemons to filter routing updates on an
rtsock per FIB.

Adjust raw_input() and split it into wrapper and a new function
taking an optional callback argument even though we only have one
consumer [1] to keep the hackish flags local to rtsock.c.

6b533b5ddb Verify interface up status using its link state only
if the interface has such capability. The interface
capability flag indicates whether such capability
exists. This approach is much more backward compatible.
Physical device driver changes will be part of another
commit.

Also updated the ifconfig utility to show the LINKSTATE
capability if present.

355ad3ead4 The if_tap interface is of IFT_ETHERNET type, but it
does not set or update the if_link_state variable.
As such RT_LINK_IS_UP() fails for the if_tap interface.

Also, the RT_LINK_IS_UP() needs to bypass all loopback
interfaces because loopback interfaces are considered
up logically as long as the system is running.

This patch fixes the above issues by setting and updating
the if_link_state variable when the tap interface is
opened or closed respectively. Similary approach is
already done in the if_tun device.

c7ea0aa648 One of the advantages of enabling ECMP (a.k.a RADIX_MPATH) is to
allow for connection load balancing across interfaces. Currently
the address alias handling method is colliding with the ECMP code.
For example, when two interfaces are configured on the same prefix,
only one prefix route is installed. So connection load balancing
among the available interfaces is not possible.

The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the
current code, is that the interface link-state is not reflected
in the route entry. For example, if there are two interfaces on
the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.
This is not done today and packets go into a black hole.

Also, there is a small bug in the kernel where deleting ECMP routes
in the userland will always return an error even though the command
is successfully executed.

c7ab66020f The proxy arp entries could not be added into the system over the
IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.
