14ba8add01 Update in_pcb-derived basic socket types following changes to
pru_abort(), pru_detach(), and in_pcbdetach():

- Universally support and enforce the invariant that so_pcb is
  never NULL, converting dozens of unnecessary NULL checks into
  assertions, and eliminating dozens of unnecessary error handling
  cases in protocol code.

- In some cases, eliminate unnecessary pcbinfo locking, as it is no
  longer required to ensure so_pcb != NULL.  For example, in protocol
  shutdown methods, and in raw IP send.

- Abort and detach protocol switch methods no longer return failures,
  nor attempt to free sockets, as the socket layer does this.

- Invoke in_pcbfree() after in_pcbdetach() in order to free the
  detached in_pcb structure for a socket.

bc725eafc7 Chance protocol switch method pru_detach() so that it returns void
rather than an error.  Detaches do not "fail", they other occur or
the protocol flags SS_PROTOREF to take ownership of the socket.

soclose() no longer looks at so_pcb to see if it's NULL, relying
entirely on the protocol to decide whether it's time to free the
socket or not using SS_PROTOREF.  so_pcb is now entirely owned and
managed by the protocol code.  Likewise, no longer test so_pcb in
other socket functions, such as soreceive(), which have no business
digging into protocol internals.

Protocol detach routines no longer try to free the socket on detach,
this is performed in the socket code if the protocol permits it.

In rts_detach(), no longer test for rp != NULL in detach, and
likewise in other protocols that don't permit a NULL so_pcb, reduce
the incidence of testing for it during detach.

ac45e92ff2 Change protocol switch pru_abort() API so that it returns void rather
than an int, as an error here is not meaningful.  Modify soabort() to
unconditionally free the socket on the return of pru_abort(), and

since the caller will do this.

This commit likely leaves parts of netinet and netinet6 in a situation

TTL a packet must have when received on a socket.  All packets with a
lower TTL are silently dropped.  Works on already connected/connecting
and listening sockets for RAW/UDP/TCP.

This option is only really useful when set to 255 preventing packets
from outside the directly connected networks reaching local listeners
on sockets.

Allows userland implementation of 'The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism
(GTSM)' according to RFC3682.  Examples of such use include the Cisco IOS
BGP implementation command "neighbor ttl-security".

6c67b8b695 When the access control on creating raw sockets was modified so that
processes in jail could create raw sockets, additional access control
checks were added to raw IP sockets to limit the ways in which those
sockets could be used.  Specifically, only the socket option IP_HDRINCL
was permitted in rip_ctloutput().  Other socket options were protected
by a call to suser().  This change was required to prevent processes
in a Jail from modifying system properties such as multicast routing
and firewall rule sets.

However, it also introduced a regression: processes that create a raw
socket with root privilege, but then downgraded credential (i.e., a
daemon giving up root, or a setuid process switching back to the real
uid) could no longer issue other unprivileged generic IP socket option
operations, such as IP_TOS, IP_TTL, and the multicast group membership
options, which prevented multicast routing daemons (and some other
tools) from operating correctly.

This change pushes the access control decision down to the granularity
of individual socket options, rather than all socket options, on raw
IP sockets.  When rip_ctloutput() doesn't implement an option, it will
now pass the request directly to in_control() without an access
control check.  This should restore the functionality of the generic
IP socket options for raw sockets in the above-described scenarios,
which may be confirmed with the ipsockopt regression test.

RELENG_5 candidate.

5090559b7f When a prison is given the ability to create raw sockets (when the
security.jail.allow_raw_sockets sysctl MIB is set to 1) where privileged
access to jails is given out, it is possible for prison root to manipulate
various network parameters which effect the host environment. This commit
plugs a number of security holes associated with the use of raw sockets
and prisons.

This commit makes the following changes:

- Add a comment to rtioctl warning developers that if they add
  any ioctl commands, they should use super-user checks where necessary,
  as it is possible for PRISON root to make it this far in execution.
- Add super-user checks for the execution of the SIOCGETVIFCNT
  and SIOCGETSGCNT IP multicast ioctl commands.
- Add a super-user check to rip_ctloutput(). If the calling cred
  is PRISON root, make sure the socket option name is IP_HDRINCL,
  otherwise deny the request.

Although this patch corrects a number of security problems associated
with raw sockets and prisons, the warning in jail(8) should still
apply, and by default we should keep the default value of
security.jail.allow_raw_sockets MIB to 0 (or disabled) until
we are certain that we have tracked down all the problems.

Looking forward, we will probably want to eliminate the
references to curthread.

This may be a MFC candidate for RELENG_5.

9b932e9e04 Convert ipfw to use PFIL_HOOKS. This is change is transparent to userland
and preserves the ipfw ABI.  The ipfw core packet inspection and filtering
functions have not been changed, only how ipfw is invoked is different.

However there are many changes how ipfw is and its add-on's are handled:

 In general ipfw is now called through the PFIL_HOOKS and most associated
 magic, that was in ip_input() or ip_output() previously, is now done in
 ipfw_check_[in|out]() in the ipfw PFIL handler.

 IPDIVERT is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers.  A packet to
 be diverted is checked if it is fragmented, if yes, ip_reass() gets in for
 reassembly.  If not, or all fragments arrived and the packet is complete,
 divert_packet is called directly.  For 'tee' no reassembly attempt is made
 and a copy of the packet is sent to the divert socket unmodified.  The
 original packet continues its way through ip_input/output().

 ipfw 'forward' is done via m_tag's.  The ipfw PFIL handlers tag the packet
 with the new destination sockaddr_in.  A check if the new destination is a
 local IP address is made and the m_flags are set appropriately.  ip_input()
 and ip_output() have some more work to do here.  For ip_input() the m_flags
 are checked and a packet for us is directly sent to the 'ours' section for
 further processing.  Destination changes on the input path are only tagged
 and the 'srcrt' flag to ip_forward() is set to disable destination checks
 and ICMP replies at this stage.  The tag is going to be handled on output.
 ip_output() again checks for m_flags and the 'ours' tag.  If found, the
 packet will be dropped back to the IP netisr where it is going to be picked
 up by ip_input() again and the directly sent to the 'ours' section.  When
 only the destination changes, the route's 'dst' is overwritten with the
 new destination from the forward m_tag.  Then it jumps back at the route
 lookup again and skips the firewall check because it has been marked with
 M_SKIP_FIREWALL.  ipfw 'forward' has to be compiled into the kernel with
 'option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD' to enable it.

 DUMMYNET is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers.  A packet for
 a dummynet pipe or queue is directly sent to dummynet_io().  Dummynet will
 then inject it back into ip_input/ip_output() after it has served its time.
 Dummynet packets are tagged and will continue from the next rule when they
 hit the ipfw PFIL handlers again after re-injection.

 BRIDGING and IPFW_ETHER are not changed yet and use ipfw_chk() directly as
 they did before.  Later this will be changed to dedicated ETHER PFIL_HOOKS.

More detailed changes to the code:

 conf/files
	Add netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c.

 conf/options
	Add IPFIREWALL_FORWARD option.

 modules/ipfw/Makefile
	Add ip_fw_pfil.c.

 net/bridge.c
	Disable PFIL_HOOKS if ipfw for bridging is active.  Bridging ipfw
	is still directly invoked to handle layer2 headers and packets would
	get a double ipfw when run through PFIL_HOOKS as well.

 netinet/ip_divert.c
	Removed divert_clone() function.  It is no longer used.

 netinet/ip_dummynet.[ch]
	Neither the route 'ro' nor the destination 'dst' need to be stored
	while in dummynet transit.  Structure members and associated macros
	are removed.

 netinet/ip_fastfwd.c
	Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
	'ipfw forward' handling code.

 netinet/ip_fw.h
	Removed 'ro' and 'dst' from struct ip_fw_args.

 netinet/ip_fw2.c
	(Re)moved some global variables and the module handling.

 netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c
	New file containing the ipfw PFIL handlers and module initialization.

 netinet/ip_input.c
	Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
	'ipfw forward' handling code.  ip_forward() does not longer require
	the 'next_hop' struct sockaddr_in argument.  Disable early checks
	if 'srcrt' is set.

 netinet/ip_output.c
	Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
	'ipfw forward' handling code.

 netinet/ip_var.h
	Add ip_reass() as general function.  (Used from ipfw PFIL handlers
	for IPDIVERT.)

 netinet/raw_ip.c
	Directly check if ipfw and dummynet control pointers are active.

 netinet/tcp_input.c
	Rework the 'ipfw forward' to local code to work with the new way of
	forward tags.

 netinet/tcp_sack.c
	Remove include 'opt_ipfw.h' which is not needed here.

 sys/mbuf.h
	Remove m_claim_next() macro which was exclusively for ipfw 'forward'
	and is no longer needed.

1f44b0a1b5 Get rid of the RANDOM_IP_ID option and make it a sysctl. NetBSD
have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:

        1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
        the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
        or random IP ID.

        2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id

        3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
        Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
        IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
        be smaller performance concerns.

The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

1e4d7da707 Reduce the number of unnecessary unlock-relocks on socket buffer mutexes
associated with performing a wakeup on the socket buffer:

- When performing an sbappend*() followed by a so[rw]wakeup(), explicitly
  acquire the socket buffer lock and use the _locked() variants of both
  calls.  Note that the _locked() sowakeup() versions unlock the mutex on
  return.  This is done in uipc_send(), divert_packet(), mroute
  socket_send(), raw_append(), tcp_reass(), tcp_input(), and udp_append().

- When the socket buffer lock is dropped before a sowakeup(), remove the
  explicit unlock and use the _locked() sowakeup() variant.  This is done
  in soisdisconnecting(), soisdisconnected() when setting the can't send/
  receive flags and dropping data, and in uipc_rcvd() which adjusting
  back-pressure on the sockets.

For UNIX domain sockets running mpsafe with a contention-intensive SMP
mysql benchmark, this results in a 1.6% query rate improvement due to
reduce mutex costs.

labeling new mbufs created from sockets/inpcbs in IPv4.  This helps avoid
the need for socket layer locking in the lower level network paths

particular:

- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in raw_append().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_output().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_respond().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in tcp_twrespond().
- Use the inpcb for label instead of socket in syncache_respond().

While here, modify tcp_respond() to avoid assigning NULL to a stack

It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination.  Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.

tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.

It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with

a557af222b Introduce a MAC label reference in 'struct inpcb', which caches
the   MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols.  This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.

This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.

For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks.  Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.

Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

8afa230470 Add the IP_ONESBCAST option, to enable undirected IP broadcasts to be sent on
specific interfaces. This is required by aodvd, and may in future help us
in getting rid of the requirement for BPF from our import of isc-dhcp.

1e78ac216e 1. Basic PIM kernel support
Disabled by default. To enable it, the new "options PIM" must be
added to the kernel configuration file (in addition to MROUTING):

options	MROUTING		# Multicast routing
options	PIM			# Protocol Independent Multicast

2. Add support for advanced multicast API setup/configuration and
extensibility.

3. Add support for kernel-level PIM Register encapsulation.
Disabled by default.  Can be enabled by the advanced multicast API.

4. Implement a mechanism for "multicast bandwidth monitoring and upcalls".
