or multicast packet, we don't need to acquire the inpcb mutex
unless we are actually using inpcb fields other than the bound port
and address. Since we hold the pcbinfo lock already, these can't
change. Defer acquiring the inpcb mutex until we have a high
chance of a match. This avoids about 120 mutex operations per UDP
broadcast packet received on one of my work systems.

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.
fixes the problem of UDP sockets getting wedged in a connected state (and
bound to their destination) under heavy load.
Temporary bind/connect should probably be deleted in future
as an optimization, as described in "A Faster UDP" [Partridge/Pink 1993].
Notes:
- INP_LOCK() is already held in udp_output(). The connection is in effect
happening at a layer lower than the socket layer, therefore in theory
socket locking should not be needed.
- Inlining the in_pcbdisconnect() operation buys us nothing (in the case
of the current state of the code), as laddr is not part of the
inpcb hash or the udbinfo hash. Therefore there should be no need
to rehash after restoring laddr in the error case (this was a
concern of the original author of the patch).

labeling new mbufs created from sockets/inpcbs in IPv4. This helps avoid
the need for socket layer locking in the lower level network paths
where inpcb locks are already frequently held where needed. In
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
variable and centralize assertions about the inpcb when inp is
assigned.

For benchmarking purposes SO_BINTIME is preferable to SO_TIMEVAL

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
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
regard to the routing table.

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.

This switch toggles between strict multicast delivery, and traditional
multicast delivery.
The traditional (default) behaviour is to deliver multicast datagrams to all
sockets which are members of that group, regardless of the network interface
where the datagrams were received.
The strict behaviour is to deliver multicast datagrams received on a
particular interface only to sockets whose membership is bound to that
interface.
Note that as a matter of course, multicast consumers specifying INADDR_ANY
for their interface get joined on the interface where the default route
happens to be bound. This switch has no effect if the interface which the
consumer specifies for IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP is not UP and RUNNING.
The original patch has been cleaned up somewhat from that submitted. It has
been tested on a multihomed machine with multiple QuickTime RTP streams
running over the local switch, which doesn't do IGMP snooping.

to send datagrams from an unconnected socket, we used to first block
input, then connect the socket to the sendmsg/sendto destination,
send the datagram, and finally disconnect the socket and unblock
input.
We now use in_pcbconnect_setup() to check if a connect() would have
succeeded, but we never record the connection in the PCB (local
anonymous port allocation is still recorded, though). The result
from in_pcbconnect_setup() authorises the sending of the datagram
and selects the local address and port to use, so we just construct
the header and call ip_output().
