NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!
This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.
This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.
Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

Fortuna remains the default; no functional change to GENERIC.
Big picture:
- Scalable entropy generation with per-CPU, buffered local generators.
- "Push" system for reseeding child generators when root PRNG is
reseeded. (Design can be extended to arc4random(9) and userspace
generators.)
- Similar entropy pooling system to Fortuna, but starts with a single
pool to quickly bootstrap as much entropy as possible early on.
- Reseeding from pooled entropy based on time schedule. The time
interval starts small and grows exponentially until reaching a cap.
Again, the goal is to have the RNG state depend on as much entropy as
possible quickly, but still periodically incorporate new entropy for
the same reasons as Fortuna.
Notable design choices in this implementation that differ from those
specified in the whitepaper:
- Blake2B instead of SHA-2 512 for entropy pooling
- Chacha20 instead of AES-CTR DRBG
- Initial seeding. We support more platforms and not all of them use
loader(8). So we have to grab the initial entropy sources in kernel
mode instead, as much as possible. Fortuna didn't have any mechanism
for this aside from the special case of loader-provided previous-boot
entropy, so most of these sources remain TODO after this commit.

This change is based on the nexthop objects landed in D24232.
The change introduces the concept of nexthop groups.
Each group contains the collection of nexthops with their
relative weights and a dataplane-optimized structure to enable
efficient nexthop selection.
Simular to the nexthops, nexthop groups are immutable. Dataplane part
gets compiled during group creation and is basically an array of
nexthop pointers, compiled w.r.t their weights.
With this change, `rt_nhop` field of `struct rtentry` contains either
nexthop or nexthop group. They are distinguished by the presense of
NHF_MULTIPATH flag.
All dataplane lookup functions returns pointer to the nexthop object,
leaving nexhop groups details inside routing subsystem.
User-visible changes:
The change is intended to be backward-compatible: all non-mpath operations
should work as before with ROUTE_MPATH and net.route.multipath=1.
All routes now comes with weight, default weight is 1, maximum is 2^24-1.
Current maximum multipath group width is statically set to 64.
This will become sysctl-tunable in the followup changes.
Using functionality:
* Recompile kernel with ROUTE_MPATH
* set net.route.multipath to 1
route add -6 2001:db8::/32 2001:db8::2 -weight 10

Take advantage of Warner's nice new real GEOM aliasing system and use it for
aliased partition names that actually work.
Our canonical EBR partition name is the weird, not-default-on-x86-prior-to-
this-revision "da1p4+00001234." However, if compatibility mode (tunable
kern.geom.part.ebr.compat_aliases) is enabled (1, default), we continue to
provide the alias names like "da1p5" in addition to the weird canonical
names.
Naming partition providers was just one aspect of the COMPAT knob; in
addition it limited mutability, in part because it did not preserve existing
EBR header content aside from that of LBA 0. This change saves the EBR
header for LBA 0, as well as for every EBR partition encountered. That way,
when we write out the EBR partition table on modification, we can restore
any bootloader or other metadata in both LBA0 (the first data-containing EBR
may start after 0) as well as every logical EBR we read from the disk, and
only update the geometry metadata and linked list pointers that describe the
actual partitioning.
(This change does not add support for the 'bootcode' verb to EBR.)

Port aacraid driver to big-endian (BE) hosts.
The immediate goal of this change is to make it possible to use the
aacraid driver on PowerPC64 machines that have Adaptec Series 8 SAS
controllers.
Adapters supported by this driver expect FIB contents in little-endian
(LE) byte order. All FIBs have a fixed header part as well as a data
part that depends on the command being issued to the controller.
In this way, on BE hosts, the FIB header and all FIB data structures
used in aacraid.c and aacraid_cam.c need to be converted to LE before
being sent to the adapter and converted to BE when coming from it.
The functions to convert each struct are on aacraid_endian.c.
For little-endian (LE) targets, they are macros that expand
to nothing.
In some cases, when only a few fields of a large structure are used,
the fields are converted inline, by the code using them.

An i2c bus can be divided into segments which can be selectively connected
and disconnected from the main bus. This is usually done to enable using
multiple slave devices having the same address, by isolating the devices
onto separate bus segments, only one of which is connected to the main bus
at once.
There are several types of i2c bus muxes, which break down into two general
categories...
- Muxes which are themselves i2c slaves. These devices respond to i2c
commands on their upstream bus, and based on those commands, connect
various downstream buses to the upstream. In newbus terms, they are both
a child of an iicbus and the parent of one or more iicbus instances.
- Muxes which are not i2c devices themselves. Such devices are part of the
i2c bus electrically, but in newbus terms their parent is some other
bus. The association with the upstream bus must be established by
separate metadata (such as FDT data).
In both cases, the mux driver has one or more iicbus child instances
representing the downstream buses. The mux driver implements the iicbus_if
interface, as if it were an iichb host bridge/i2c controller driver. It
services the IO requests sent to it by forwarding them to the iicbus
instance representing the upstream bus, after electrically connecting the
upstream bus to the downstream bus that hosts the i2c slave device which
made the IO request.
The net effect is automatic mux switching which is transparent to slaves on
the downstream buses. They just do i2c IO they way they normally do, and the
bus is electrically connected for the duration of the IO and then idled when
it is complete.
The existing iicbus_if callback() method is enhanced so that the parameter
passed to it can be a struct which contains a device_t for the requesting
bus and slave devices. This change is done by adding a flag that indicates
the extra values are present, and making the flags field the first field of
a new args struct. If the flag is set, the iichb or mux driver can recast
the pointer-to-flags into a pointer-to-struct and access the extra
fields. Thus abi compatibility with older drivers is retained (but a mux
cannot exist on the bus with the older iicbus driver in use.)
A new set of core support routines exists in iicbus.c. This code will help
implement mux drivers for any type of mux hardware by supplying all the
boilerplate code that forwards IO requests upstream. It also has code for
parsing metadata and instantiating the child iicbus instances based on it.
Two new hardware mux drivers are added. The ltc430x driver supports the
LTC4305/4306 mux chips which are controlled via i2c commands. The
iic_gpiomux driver supports any mux hardware which is controlled by
manipulating the state of one or more gpio pins. Test Plan
Tested locally using a variety of mux'd bus configurations involving both
ltc4305 and a homebrew gpio-controlled mux. Tested configurations included
cascaded muxes (unlikely in the real world, but useful to prove that 'it all
just works' in terms of the automatic switching and upstream forwarding of
IO requests).
It's still disabled by default, but now it can be enabled with config(5) and
it will be build in LINT.

NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.
