tcp_drop() may unlock the INP. Currently, tcp_usr_abort() does not
check for this case, which results in a panic while trying to unlock
the already-unlocked INP (not to mention, a use-after-free violation).
Make tcp_usr_abort() check the return value of tcp_drop(). In the case
where tcp_drop() returns NULL, tcp_usr_abort() can skip further steps
to abort the connection and simply unlock the INP_INFO lock prior to

summits at BSDCan and BSDCam in 2017.
The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connection
in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with a
packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to correlate
multiple connections that share a common log ID.
You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinated
test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associated
with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connection
ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
option.
This commit includes only basic probes. rrs@ has added quite an abundance
of probes in his TCP development work. He plans to commit those soon.
There are user-space programs which we plan to commit as ports. These read
the data from the log device and output pcapng files, and then let you
analyze the data (and metadata) in the pcapng files.

from entering the TIME_WAIT state. However, it omits sending the ACK for the
FIN, which results in RST. This becomes a bigger deal if the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.blackhole is 2. In this case RST isn't send, so the other side of
the connection (also local) keeps retransmitting FINs.
To fix that in tcp_twstart() we will not call tcp_close() immediately. Instead
we will allocate a tcptw on stack and proceed to the end of the function all
the way to tcp_twrespond(), to generate the correct ACK, then we will drop the
last PCB reference.
While here, make a few tiny improvements:
- use bools for boolean variable
- staticize nolocaltimewait
- remove pointless acquisiton of socket lock

nearly all the TFO code should wind up being removed by the optimizer,

Small summary
-------------
o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the

up after T/TCP removal. After all permutations over the years the result is
that t_maxopd stores a minimum of peer offered MSS and MTU reduced by minimum
protocol header. And t_maxseg stores (t_maxopd - TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_APPA) if
timestamps are in action, or is equal to t_maxopd otherwise. That's a very
rough estimate of MSS reduced by options length. Throughout the code it
was used in places, where preciseness was not important, like cwnd or
ssthresh calculations.
With this change:
- t_maxopd goes away.
- t_maxseg now stores MSS not adjusted by options.
- new function tcp_maxseg() is provided, that calculates MSS reduced by
options length. The functions gives a better estimate, since it takes
into account SACK state as well.

packets and/or state transitions from each TCP socket. That would help with
narrowing down certain problems we see in the field that are hard to reproduce
without understanding the history of how we got into a certain state. This
change provides just that.
It saves copies of the last N packets in a list in the tcpcb. When the tcpcb is
destroyed, the list is freed. I thought this was likely to be more
performance-friendly than saving copies of the tcpcb. Plus, with the packets,
you should be able to reverse-engineer what happened to the tcpcb.
To enable the feature, you will need to compile a kernel with the TCPPCAP
option. Even then, the feature defaults to being deactivated. You can activate
it by setting a positive value for the number of captured packets. You can do
that on either a global basis or on a per-socket basis (via a setsockopt call).
There is no way to get the packets out of the kernel other than using kmem or
getting a coredump. I thought that would help some of the legal/privacy concerns
regarding such a feature. However, it should be possible to add a future effort
to export them in PCAP format.
I tested this at low scale, and found that there were no mbuf leaks and the peak
mbuf usage appeared to be unchanged with and without the feature.
The main performance concern I can envision is the number of mbufs that would be
used on systems with a large number of sockets. If you save five packets per
direction per socket and have 3,000 sockets, that will consume at least 30,000
mbufs just to keep these packets. I tried to reduce the concerns associated with
this by limiting the number of clusters (not mbufs) that could be used for this
feature. Again, in my testing, that appears to work correctly.

We actually do not need extra memory to build a reassembly queue.
Arriving mbufs are always packet header mbufs. So we got the length

only one pointer to point at the tcphdr, use PH_loc for that.
In tcpcb the t_segq fields becomes mbuf pointer. The t_segqlen
