9ce40d321d bpf: Fix incorrect cleanup
Cleaning up a bpf_if is a two stage process. We first move it to the
bpf_freelist (in bpfdetach()) and only later do we actually free it (in
bpf_ifdetach()).

We cannot set the ifp->if_bpf to NULL from bpf_ifdetach() because it's
possible that the ifnet has already gone away, or that it has been assigned
a new bpf_if.
This can lead to a struct ifnet which is up, but has if_bpf set to NULL,
which will panic when we try to send the next packet.

Keep track of the pointer to the bpf_if (because it's not always
ifp->if_bpf), and NULL it immediately in bpfdetach().

Only amd64 (because of i386) needs 32-bit time_t compat now, everything else is
64-bit time_t.  Rather than checking on all 64-bit time_t archs, only check the

fbcf7bcdf4 Solve the y2038 problem for powerpc
AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).

PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386).  This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

584b675ed6 Hide the boottime and bootimebin globals, provide the getboottime(9)
and getboottimebin(9) KPI. Change consumers of boottime to use the
KPI.  The variables were renamed to avoid shadowing issues with local
variables of the same name.

Issue is that boottime* should be adjusted from tc_windup(), which
requires them to be members of the timehands structure.  As a
preparation, this commit only introduces the interface.

Some uses of boottime were found doubtful, e.g. NLM uses boottime to
identify the system boot instance.  Arguably the identity should not
change on the leap second adjustment, but the commit is about the
timekeeping code and the consumers were kept bug-to-bug compatible.

d9c9c81c08 sys: use our roundup2/rounddown2() macros when param.h is available.
rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.

This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.

05fc416403 During if_vmove() we call if_detach_internal() which in turn calls the event
handler notifying about interface departure and one of the consumers will
detach if_bpf.
There is no way for us to re-attach this easily as the DLT and hdrlen are
only given on interface creation.
Add a function to allow us to query the DLT and hdrlen from a current
BPF attachment and after if_attach_internal() manually re-add the if_bpf
attachment using these values.

Found by panics triggered by nd6 packets running past BPF_MTAP() with no
proper if_bpf pointer on the interface.

Also add a basic DDB show function to investigate the if_bpf attachment
of an interface.

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.

9224217213 Remove the mtx_sleep() from the kqueue f_event filter.
The filter is called from the network hot path and must not sleep.

The filter runs with the descriptor lock held and does not manipulates the
buffers, so it is not necessary sleep when the hold buffer is in use.

Just ignore the hold buffer contents when it is being copied to user space
(when hold buffer in use is set).

This fix the "Sleeping thread owns a non-sleepable lock" panic when the
userland thread is too busy reading the packets from bpf(4).

f87e372ef2 Remove two unnecessary sleeps from the hot path in bpf(4).
The first one never triggers because bpf_canfreebuf() can only be true for
zero-copy buffers and zero-copy buffers are not read with read(2).

The second also never triggers, because we check the free buffer before
calling ROTATE_BUFFERS().  If the hold buffer is in use the free buffer
will be NULL and there is nothing else to do besides drop the packet.  If
the free buffer isn't NULL the hold buffer _is_ free and it is safe to
rotate the buffers.

Update the comment in ROTATE_BUFFERS macro to match the logic described
here.

4f42daa4a3 Do not allocate the buffers at opening of the descriptor, because once
the buffer is allocated we are committed to a particular buffer method
(BPF_BUFMODE_BUFFER in this case).

If we are using zero-copy buffers, the userland program must register its
buffers before set the interface.

If we are using kernel memory buffers, we can allocate the buffer at the
time that the interface is being set.

This fix allows the usage of BIOCSETBUFMODE after r235746.

eliminates some type duplication in the resulting CTF container, since

51ec1eb70d - Improve performace for writer-only BPF users.
Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.

Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.

Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.

Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.

So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.

Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.

- While here, document all sysctl variables in bpf.4

This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1
reader lock instead of 2 mutexes.

- Remove filter(descriptor) (reader) lock in bpf_mtap[2]
This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface
writer lock on filter change.

- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h
without including rwlock stuff. However, this is is temporary solution,
struct bpf_if should be made opaque for any external caller.

o) Add a new type to the freebsd32 compat layer, time32_t, which is time_t in the

   ABIs use a 64-bit time_t.
o) Because time{spec,val}32 has the same size and layout as time{spec,val} on MIPS
   with 32-bit compatibility, then, disable some code which assumes otherwise
   wrongly when built for MIPS.  A more general macro to check in this case would
   seem like a good idea eventually.  If someone adds support for using n32
   userland with n64 kernels on MIPS, then they will have to add a variety of
   flags related to each piece of the ABI that can vary.  That's probably the
   right time to generalize further.

9a7e6bac47 Consumers of bpfdetach() expect it to remove all bpf_if structs from the
bpf_iflist list which reference the specified ifnet. The existing implementation
only removes the first matching bpf_if found in the list, effectively leaking
list entries if an ifnet has been bpfattach()ed multiple times with different
DLTs.

Fix the leak by performing the detach logic in a loop, stopping when all bpf_if
structs referencing the specified ifnet have been detached and removed from the
bpf_iflist list.

Whilst here, also:

- Remove the unnecessary "bp->bif_ifp == NULL" check, as a bpf_if should never
  exist in the list with a NULL ifnet pointer.

- Except when INVARIANTS is in the kernel config, silently ignore the case where
  no bpf_if referencing the specified ifnet is found, as it is harmless and does
  not require user attention.

253a3814d4 Revert r228986 until it can be reworked to avoid panicing the kernel when the
same interface is attached multiple times with different DLTs, as is done in
net80211 for example.

0f89fc22f3 - Introduce the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree and associated code so as to make one
aspect of time stamp configuration per interface rather than per BPF
  descriptor. Prior to this, the order in which BPF devices were opened and the
  per descriptor time stamp configuration settings could cause non-deterministic
  and unintended behaviour with respect to time stamping. With the new scheme, a
  BPF attached interface's tscfg sysctl entry can be set to "default", "none",
  "fast", "normal" or "external". Setting "default" means use the system default
  option (set with the net.bpf.tscfg.default sysctl), "none" means do not
  generate time stamps for tapped packets, "fast" means generate time stamps for
  tapped packets using a hz granularity system clock read, "normal" means
  generate time stamps for tapped packets using a full timecounter granularity
  system clock read and "external" (currently unimplemented) means use the time
  stamp provided with the packet from an underlying source.

- Utilise the recently introduced sysclock_getsnapshot() and
  sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs to ensure the system clock is only read once per
  packet, regardless of the number of BPF descriptors and time stamp formats
  requested. Use the per BPF attached interface time stamp configuration to
  control if sysclock_getsnapshot() is called and whether the system clock read
  is fast or normal. The per BPF descriptor time stamp configuration is then
  used to control how the system clock snapshot is converted to a bintime by
  sysclock_snap2bintime().

- Remove all FAST related BPF descriptor flag variants. Performing a "fast"
  read of the system clock is now controlled per BPF attached interface using
  the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree.

- Update the bpf.4 man page.

b6f1c7db32 - When feed-forward clock support is compiled in, change the BPF header to
contain both a regular timestamp obtained from the system clock and the
  current feed-forward ffcounter value. This enables new possibilities including
  comparison of timekeeping performance and timestamp correction during post
  processing.

- Add the net.bpf.ffclock_tstamp sysctl to provide a choice between timestamping
  packets using the feedback or feed-forward system clock.
