If the error is EPERM the packet got blocked by the local firewall and the
revert may cause the session to get stuck and retry indefinitely. This way
we treat it like a packet loss and let the retransmit timer and timeouts
do their work over time.
The correct behavior is to drop a connection that gets an EPERM error.
However this _may_ introduce some POLA problems and a two commit approach
was chosen.

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

functionality:
- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking
is now integrated with the bucket row locking of syncache itself and
syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.
This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.
The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.
A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

This takes care of kernel panics associated with un-initialize mbuf labels

introduced a number of entry points which were programmatically

support a network w/ split mtu's by assigning each host route the correct
mtu. an aspiring programmer could write a daemon to probe hosts and find
out if they support a larger mtu.
timeouts for TCP and T/TCP connections in the TIME_WAIT
state, and we had two separate timed wait queues for them.
Now that is has gone, the timeout is always 2*MSL again,
and there is no reason to keep two queues (the first was
unused anyway!).
Also, reimplement the remaining queue using a TAILQ (it
was technically impossible before, with two queues).
TSO is only used if we are in a pure bulk sending state. The presence of
TCP-MD5, SACK retransmits, SACK advertizements, IPSEC and IP options prevent
using TSO. With TSO the TCP header is the same (except for the sequence number)
for all generated packets. This makes it impossible to transmit any options
which vary per generated segment or packet.
The length of TSO bursts is limited to TCP_MAXWIN.
The sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso globally controls the use of TSO and is enabled.
TSO enabled sends originating from tcp_output() have the CSUM_TCP and CSUM_TSO
flags set, m_pkthdr.csum_data filled with the header pseudo-checksum and
m_pkthdr.tso_segsz set to the segment size (net payload size, not counting
IP+TCP headers or TCP options).
IPv6 currently lacks a pseudo-header checksum function and thus doesn't support
TSO yet.

bad under high load. For example with 40k sockets and 25k tcptw
entries, connect() syscall can run for seconds. Debugging showed
that it iterates the cycle millions times and purges thousands of
tcptw entries at a time.
Besides practical unusability this change is architecturally
wrong. First, in_pcblookup_local() is used in connect() and bind()
syscalls. No stale entries purging shouldn't be done here. Second,
it is a layering violation.
o Return back the tcptw purging cycle to tcp_timer_2msl_tw(),
that was removed in rev. 1.78 by rwatson. The commit log of this
revision tells nothing about the reason cycle was removed. Now
we need this cycle, since major cleaner of stale tcptw structures
is removed.
