256ea2aba9 The route code used to mtx_destroy() a locked mutex before rtentry free. Now,
after r262763 it started to return locked mutexes to UMA. To fix that,
conditionally unlock the mutex in the destructor.

e3a7aa6f56 - Remove rt_metrics_lite and simply put its members into rtentry.
- Use counter(9) for rt_pksent (former rt_rmx.rmx_pksent). This
  removes another cache trashing ++ from packet forwarding path.
- Create zini/fini methods for the rtentry UMA zone. Via initialize
  mutex and counter in them.
- Fix reporting of rmx_pksent to routing socket.
- Fix netstat(1) to report "Use" both in kvm(3) and sysctl(3) mode.

The change is mostly targeted for stable/10 merge. For head,
rt_pksent is expected to just disappear.

5d6d7e756b o Revamp API between flowtable and netinet, netinet6.
- ip_output() and ip_output6() simply call flowtable_lookup(),
    passing mbuf and address family. That's the only code under
    #ifdef FLOWTABLE in the protocols code now.
o Revamp statistics gathering and export.
  - Remove hand made pcpu stats, and utilize counter(9).
  - Snapshot of statistics is available via 'netstat -rs'.
  - All sysctls are moved into net.flowtable namespace, since
    spreading them over net.inet isn't correct.
o Properly separate at compile time INET and INET6 parts.
o General cleanup.
  - Remove chain of multiple flowtables. We simply have one for
    IPv4 and one for IPv6.
  - Flowtables are allocated in flowtable.c, symbols are static.
  - With proper argument to SYSINIT() we no longer need flowtable_ready.
  - Hash salt doesn't need to be per-VNET.
  - Removed rudimentary debugging, which use quite useless in dtrace era.

The runtime behavior of flowtable shouldn't be changed by this commit.

d375edc9b5 Simplify inet alias handling code: if we're adding/removing alias which
has the same prefix as some other alias on the same interface, use
newly-added rt_addrmsg() instead of hand-rolled in_addralias_rtmsg().

This eliminates the following rtsock messages:

Pinned RTM_ADD for prefix (for alias addition).
Pinned RTM_DELETE for prefix (for alias withdrawal).

Example (got 10.0.0.1/24 on vlan4, playing with 10.0.0.2/24):

Sending both RTM_ADD/RTM_DELETE messages to rtsock is completely wrong
(and requires some hacks to keep prefix in route table on RTM_DELETE).

I've tested this change with quagga (no change) and bird (*).

bird alias handling is already broken in *BSD sysdep code, so nothing
changes here, too.

I'm going to MFC this change if there will be no complains about behavior
change.

While here, fix some style(9) bugs introduced by r260488
(pointed by glebius and bde).

4cbac30b29 Split rt_newaddrmsg_fib() into two different functions.
Adding/deleting interface addresses involves access to 3 different subsystems,
int different parts of code. Each call can fail, so reporting successful

Further split routing notification API and actual rtsock calls via creating
public-available rt_addrmsg() / rt_routemsg() functions with "private"

bfca216eb9 Hide kernel option ROUTETABLES evaluations in the implementation
rather than the header file.  With this also move RT_MAXFIBS and
RT_NUMFIBS into the implemantion to avoid further usage in other
code. rt_numfibs is all that should be needed.

This allows users to change the number of FIBs from 1..RT_MAXFIBS(16)
dynamically using the tunable without the need to change the kernel
config for the maximum anymore.  This means that thet multi-FIB
feature is now fully available with GENERIC kernels.
The kernel option ROUTETABLES can still be used to set the default
numbers of FIBs in absence of the tunable.

If both NIC has a loopback route to itself, so IFA_RTSELF is set on ifa(s).
As IFA_RTSELF is defined by RTF_HOST, rtrequest1_fib() is called with
RTF_HOST flag even if netmask is not NULL. Consequently, netmask is set
to zero in rtrequest1_fib(), and request to add network route is changed

c7ea0aa648 One of the advantages of enabling ECMP (a.k.a RADIX_MPATH) is to
allow for connection load balancing across interfaces. Currently
the address alias handling method is colliding with the ECMP code.
For example, when two interfaces are configured on the same prefix,
only one prefix route is installed. So connection load balancing
among the available interfaces is not possible.

The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the
current code, is that the interface link-state is not reflected
in the route entry. For example, if there are two interfaces on
the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.
This is not done today and packets go into a black hole.

Also, there is a small bug in the kernel where deleting ECMP routes
in the userland will always return an error even though the command
is successfully executed.

c7ab66020f The proxy arp entries could not be added into the system over the
IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.

e5c610d659 The flow-table associates TCP/UDP flows and IP destinations with
specific routes. When the routing table changes, for example,
when a new route with a more specific prefix is inserted into the
routing table, the flow-table is not updated to reflect that change.
As such existing connections cannot take advantage of the new path.
In some cases the path is broken. This patch will update the affected
flow-table entries when a more specific route is added. The route
entry is properly marked when a route is deleted from the table.
In this case, when the flow-table performs a search, the stale
entry is updated automatically. Therefore this patch is not
necessary for route deletion.

d0728d7174 Introduce and use a sysinit-based initialization scheme for virtual
network stacks, VNET_SYSINIT:

- Add VNET_SYSINIT and VNET_SYSUNINIT macros to declare events that will
  occur each time a network stack is instantiated and destroyed.  In the
  !VIMAGE case, these are simply mapped into regular SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT.
  For the VIMAGE case, we instead use SYSINIT's to track their order and
  properties on registration, using them for each vnet when created/
  destroyed, or immediately on module load for already-started vnets.
- Remove vnet_modinfo mechanism that existed to serve this purpose
  previously, as well as its dependency scheme: we now just use the
  SYSINIT ordering scheme.
- Implement VNET_DOMAIN_SET() to allow protocol domains to declare that
  they want init functions to be called for each virtual network stack
  rather than just once at boot, compiling down to DOMAIN_SET() in the
  non-VIMAGE case.
- Walk all virtualized kernel subsystems and make use of these instead
  of modinfo or DOMAIN_SET() for init/uninit events.  In some cases,
  convert modular components from using modevent to using sysinit (where
  appropriate).  In some cases, do minor rejuggling of SYSINIT ordering
  to make room for or better manage events.

1e77c1056a Remove unused VNET_SET() and related macros; only VNET_GET() is
ever actually used.  Rename VNET_GET() to VNET() to shorten
variable references.

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

6a7bff2c31 Re-factoring for adding weighted routes introduced a
fairly irritating bug where the system will panic
when RADIX_MPATH is enabled. This change fixes this.
