Gleb Smirnoff 1ed7bf1e3b o Fix a race between three threads: output path,
incoming ARP packet and route request adding/removing
  ARP entries. The root of the problem is that
  struct llinfo_arp was accessed without any locks.
  To close race we will use locking provided by
  rtentry, that references this llinfo_arp:
  - Make arplookup() return a locked rtentry.
  - In arpresolve() hold the lock provided by
    rt_check()/arplookup() until the end of function,
    covering all accesses to the rtentry itself and
    llinfo_arp it refers to.
  - In in_arpinput() do not drop lock provided by
    arplookup() during first part of the function.
  - Simplify logic in the first part of in_arpinput(),
    removing one level of indentation.
  - In the second part of in_arpinput() hold rtentry
    lock while copying address.

o Fix a condition when route entry is destroyed, while
  another thread is contested on its lock:
  - When storing a pointer to rtentry in llinfo_arp list,
    always add a reference to this rtentry, to prevent
    rtentry being destroyed via RTM_DELETE request.
  - Remove this reference when removing entry from
    llinfo_arp list.

o Further cleanup of arptimer():
  - Inline arptfree() into arptimer().
  - Use official queue(3) way to pass LIST.
  - Hold rtentry lock while reading its structure.
  - Do not check that sdl_family is AF_LINK, but
    assert this.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
