This is a patch to sys/net/if.c. What it does is patch the algorithm
for finding an IP address on an interface which most closely matches
a given IP address. The problem with it is when no address matches,
and you have to just pick one at random. Then the code ends up picking
the last IP address in the list. This patch changes things so it
picks up the first address instead.
Usually the first address is more useful as the later ones are aliases.
interfaces. This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch
of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple
recompile is all that's necessary.)
I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested
in making use of it.
when attepmting to add certain types of routes. This problem
only manifested itself in the presence of unconfigured point-to-point
interfaces.

pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
others: start to populate the link-layer branch of the net mib, by
moving ARP to its proper place. (ARP is not a protocol family, it's an
interface layer between a medium-access layer and a protocol family.)
sysctl(8) needs to be taught about the structure of this branch, unless
Poul-Henning implements dynamic MIB exploration soon.
Removed ifnet.if_init and ifnet.if_reset as they are generally unused.
Change the parameter passed to if_watchdog to be a ifnet * rather than
a unit number. All of this is an attempt to move toward not needing an
array of softc pointers (which is usually static in size) to point to
the driver softc.
if_ed.c:
Changed some of the argument passing to some functions to make a little
more sense.
if_ep.c, if_vx.c:
Killed completely bogus use of if_timer. It was being set in such a way
that the interface was being reset once per second (blech!).
Fix loopback and discard interfaces to understand BPF writes.
(These two from Bill Fenner to fix PR 512.)
Move ifpromisc() from bpf.c to if.c as suggested by comment in BPF.
Send a notice to the log when promiscuous mode is enabled.

This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.

For point-to-point interfaces, route based on the destination address,
not the local address.

for broadcasts if point-to-point links shared the same IP address as
the ethernet. The fix must be enabled with P2P_LOCALADDR_SHARE option
in the kernel config file. This will someday likely be standard, but
there isn't sufficient time before release to determine if there are
any interoperability problems with routed and/or gated.

- Allow PPP to run multicasts natively.
- Deal properly with lots of similarly-named interfaces.
- Don't sign-extend if_flags.
NB: the last fix (to rtsock.c) must be reversed when we expand if_flags to a
reasonable size.

- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
