- BIOCGDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRECTION get or set the setting determining
whether incoming, outgoing, or all packets on the interface should be
returned by BPF. Set to BPF_D_IN to see only incoming packets on the
interface. Set to BPF_D_INOUT to see packets originating locally and
remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing
packets on the interface. This setting is initialized to BPF_D_INOUT
by default. BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT are obsoleted by these but
kept for backward compatibility.
- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.
Note that libpcap has been modified to support BPF_D_OUT direction for
pcap_setdirection(3) and PCAP_D_OUT direction is functional now.

(1) bpf peer attaches to interface netif0
(2) Packet is received by netif0
(3) ifp->if_bpf pointer is checked and handed off to bpf
(4) bpf peer detaches from netif0 resulting in ifp->if_bpf being
initialized to NULL.
(5) ifp->if_bpf is dereferenced by bpf machinery
(6) Kaboom
This race condition likely explains the various different kernel panics
reported around sending SIGINT to tcpdump or dhclient processes. But really
this race can result in kernel panics anywhere you have frequent bpf attach
and detach operations with high packet per second load.
Summary of changes:
- Remove the bpf interface's "driverp" member
- When we attach bpf interfaces, we now set the ifp->if_bpf member to the
bpf interface structure. Once this is done, ifp->if_bpf should never be
NULL. [1]
- Introduce bpf_peers_present function, an inline operation which will do
a lockless read bpf peer list associated with the interface. It should
be noted that the bpf code will pickup the bpf_interface lock before adding
or removing bpf peers. This should serialize the access to the bpf descriptor
list, removing the race.
- Expose the bpf_if structure in bpf.h so that the bpf_peers_present function
can use it. This also removes the struct bpf_if; hack that was there.
- Adjust all consumers of the raw if_bpf structure to use bpf_peers_present
Now what happens is:
(1) Packet is received by netif0
(2) Check to see if bpf descriptor list is empty
(3) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(4) Hand packet off to process
From the attach/detach side:
(1) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(2) Add/remove from bpf descriptor list
Now that we are storing the bpf interface structure with the ifnet, there is
is no need to walk the bpf interface list to locate the correct bpf interface.
We now simply look up the interface, and initialize the pointer. This has a
nice side effect of changing a bpf interface attach operation from O(N) (where
N is the number of bpf interfaces), to O(1).
[1] From now on, we can no longer check ifp->if_bpf to tell us whether or
not we have any bpf peers that might be interested in receiving packets.

refresh the PID which has the descriptor open. The PID is refreshed in various
operations like ioctl(2), kevent(2) or poll(2). This produces more accurate
information about current bpf consumers. While we are here remove the bd_pcomm
member of the bpf stats structure because now that we have an accurate PID we
can lookup the via the kern.proc.pid sysctl variable. This is the trick that
NetBSD decided to use to deal with this issue.
Special care needs to be taken when MFC'ing this change, as we have made a
change to the bpf stats structure. What will end up happening is we will leave
the pcomm structure but just mark it as being un-used. This way we keep the ABI
in tact.

enhance the security of bpf(4) by further relinquishing the privilege of
the bpf(4) consumer (assuming the ioctl commands are being implemented).
Once BIOCLOCK is executed, the device becomes locked which prevents the
execution of ioctl(2) commands which can change the underly parameters of the
bpf(4) device. An example might be the setting of bpf(4) filter programs or
attaching to different network interfaces.
BIOCSETWF can be used to set write filters for outgoing packets. Currently if
a bpf(4) consumer is compromised, the bpf(4) descriptor can essentially be used
as a raw socket, regardless of consumer's UID. Write filters give users the
ability to constrain which packets can be sent through the bpf(4) descriptor.
These features are currently implemented by a couple programs which came from
OpenBSD, such as the new dhclient and pflogd.
-Modify bpf_setf(9) to accept a "cmd" parameter. This will be used to specify
whether a read or write filter is to be set.
-Add a bpf(4) filter program as a parameter to bpf_movein(9) as we will run the
filter program on the mbuf data once we move the packet in from user-space.
-Rather than execute two uiomove operations, (one for the link header and the
other for the packet data), execute one and manually copy the linker header
into the sockaddr structure via bcopy.
-Restructure bpf_setf to compensate for write filters, as well as read.
-Adjust bpf(4) stats structures to include a bd_locked member.
It should be noted that the FreeBSD and OpenBSD implementations differ a bit in
the sense that we unconditionally enforce the lock, where OpenBSD enforces it
only if the calling credential is not root.

packet counts from the kernel to user-space. While we are here
introduce a new counter for filtered or matched packets. We currently
keep track of packets received or dropped by the bpf device, but not
how many packets actually matched the bpf filter.
-Introduce net.bpf.stats sysctl OID
-Move sysctl variables after the function prototypes so we can
reference bpf_stats_sysctl(9) without build errors.
-Introduce bpf descriptor counter which is used mainly for sizing
of the xbpf_d array.
-Introduce a xbpf_d structure which will act as an external
representation of the bpf_d structure.
-Add a the following members to the bpfd structure:
bd_fcount - Number of packets which matched bpf filter
bd_pid - PID which opened the bpf device
bd_pcomm - Process name which opened the device.
It should be noted that it's possible that the process which opened
the device could be long gone at the time of stats collection. An
example might be a process that opens the bpf device forks then exits
leaving the child process with the bpf fd.

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.

select/poll, and therefore with pthreads. I doubt there is any way
to make this 100% semantically identical to the way it behaves in
unthreaded programs with blocking reads, but the solution here
should do the right thing for all reasonable usage patterns.
The basic idea is to schedule a callout for the read timeout when a
select/poll is done. When the callout fires, it ends the select if
it is still in progress, or marks the state as "timed out" if the
select has already ended for some other reason. Additional logic in
bpfread then does the right thing in the case where the timeout has
fired.
Note, I co-opted the bd_state member of the bpf_d structure. It has
been present in the structure since the initial import of 4.4-lite,
but as far as I can tell it has never been used.
