4736ccfd9c sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

d9654156fd Add ip6_tryforward() - a run to completion forwarding implementation
for IPv6.

It gets performance benefits from reduced number of checks. It doesn't
copy mbuf to be able send ICMPv6 error message, because it keeps mbuf
unchanged until the moment, when the route decision has been made.
It doesn't do IPsec checks, and when some IPsec security policies present,
ip6_input() uses normal slow path.

864cf18128 Fix lagg failover due to missing notifications
When using lagg failover mode neither Gratuitous ARP (IPv4) or Unsolicited
Neighbour Advertisements (IPv6) are sent to notify other nodes that the
address may have moved.

This results is slow failover, dropped packets and network outages for the
lagg interface when the primary link goes down.

We now use the new if_link_state_change_cond with the force param set to
allow lagg to force through link state changes and hence fire a
ifnet_link_event which are now monitored by rip and nd6.

Upon receiving these events each protocol trigger the relevant
notifications:
* inet4 => Gratuitous ARP
* inet6 => Unsolicited Neighbour Announce

This also fixes the carp IPv6 NA's that stopped working after r251584 which
added the ipv6_route__llma route.

The new behavour can be controlled using the sysctls:
* net.link.ether.inet.arp_on_link
* net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_on_link

Also removed unused param from lagg_port_state and added descriptions for the
sysctls while here.

11af63037f Make checks for rt_mtu generic:
Some virtual if drivers has (ab)used ifa ifa_rtrequest hook to enforce
route MTU to be not bigger that interface MTU. While ifa_rtrequest hooking
might be an option in some situation, it is not feasible to do MTU checks
there: generic (or per-domain) routing code is perfectly capable of doing
this.

We currrently have 3 places where MTU is altered:

1) route addition.
 In this case domain overrides radix _addroute callback (in[6]_addroute)
 and all necessary checks/fixes are/can be done there.

2) route change (especially, GW change).
 In this case, there are no explicit per-domain calls, but one can
 override rte by setting ifa_rtrequest hook to domain handler
 (inet6 does this).

3) ifconfig ifaceX mtu YYYY
 In this case, we have no callbacks, but ip[6]_output performes runtime
 checks and decreases rt_mtu if necessary.

Generally, the goals are to be able to handle all MTU changes in
 control plane, not in runtime part, and properly deal with increased
 interface MTU.

This commit changes the following:
* removes hooks setting MTU from drivers side
* adds proper per-doman MTU checks for case 1)
* adds generic MTU check for case 2)

* The latter is done by using new dom_ifmtu callback since
 if_mtu denotes L3 interface MTU, e.g. maximum trasmitted _packet_ size.
 However, IPv6 mtu might be different from if_mtu one (e.g. default 1280)
 for some cases, so we need an abstract way to know maximum MTU size
 for given interface and domain.
* moves rt_setmetrics() before MTU/ifa_rtrequest hooks since it copies
  user-supplied data which must be checked.
* removes RT_LOCK_ASSERT() from other ifa_rtrequest hooks to be able to
  use this functions on new non-inserted rte.

More changes will follow soon.

6ee59753ec Further rework netinet6 address handling code:
* Set ia address/mask values BEFORE attaching to address lists.
Inet6 address assignment is not atomic, so the simplest way to
do this atomically is to fill in ia before attach.
* Validate irfa->ia_addr field before use (we permit ANY sockaddr in old code).
* Do some renamings:
  in6_ifinit -> in6_notify_ifa (interaction with other subsystems is here)
  in6_setup_ifa -> in6_broadcast_ifa (LLE/Multicast/DaD code)
  in6_ifaddloop -> nd6_add_ifa_lle
  in6_ifremloop -> nd6_rem_ifa_lle
* Split working with LLE and route announce code for last two.
Add temporary in6_newaddrmsg() function to mimic current rtsock behaviour.
* Call device SIOCSIFADDR handler IFF we're adding first address.
In IPv4 we have to call it on every address change since ARP record
is installed by arp_ifinit() which is called by given handler.
IPv6 stack, on the opposite is responsible to call nd6_add_ifa_lle() so
there is no reason to call SIOCSIFADDR often.

50e0add9e4 - Allow ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL for IFT_BRIDGE. An interface with IFT_BRIDGE

   ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal"

- if_bridge(4) now removes IPv6 addresses on a member interface to be
  added when the parent interface or one of the existing member
  interfaces has an IPv6 address.  if_bridge(4) merges each link-local
  scope zone which the member interfaces form respectively, so it causes
  address scope violation.  Removal of the IPv6 addresses prevents it.

  unconditionally.

- Set reasonable flags to non-IPv6-capable interfaces. [*]

27a36f6ac8 A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

"Whitspace" churn after the VIMAGE/VNET whirls.

Remove the need for some "init" functions within the network
stack, like pim6_init(), icmp_init() or significantly shorten
others like ip6_init() and nd6_init(), using static initialization
again where possible and formerly missed.

Move (most) variables back to the place they used to be before the
container structs and VIMAGE_GLOABLS (before r185088) and try to
reduce the diff to stable/7 and earlier as good as possible,
to help out-of-tree consumers to update from 6.x or 7.x to 8 or 9.

static global variables.

57ca4583e7 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.

Remove unused macro which didn't have required referencing:

  IFP_TO_IA6

This closes many small races in which changes to interface
or address lists while an ifaddr was in use could lead to use of freed
memory (etc).  In a few cases, add missing if_addr_list locking
required to safely acquire references.

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit.  Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

32a71137f0 Bite the bullet, and make the IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 mega-commit:
import from p4 bms_netdev.  Summary of changes:

 * Connect netinet6/in6_mcast.c to build.
   The legacy KAME KPIs are mostly preserved.
 * Eliminate now dead code from ip6_output.c.
   Don't do mbuf bingo, we are not going to do RFC 2292 style
   CMSG tricks for multicast options as they are not required
   by any current IPv6 normative reference.
 * Refactor transports (UDP, raw_ip6) to do own mcast filtering.
   SCTP, TCP unaffected by this change.
 * Add ip6_msource, in6_msource structs to in6_var.h.
 * Hookup mld_ifinfo state to in6_ifextra, allocate from
   domifattach path.
 * Eliminate IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI(), it is no longer referenced.
   Kernel consumers which need this should use in6m_lookup().
 * Refactor IPv6 socket group memberships to use a vector (like IPv4).
 * Update ifmcstat(8) for IPv6 SSM.
 * Add witness lock order for IN6_MULTI_LOCK.
 * Move IN6_MULTI_LOCK out of lower ip6_output()/ip6_input() paths.
 * Introduce IP6STAT_ADD/SUB/INC/DEC as per rwatson's IPv4 cleanup.
 * Update carp(4) for new IPv6 SSM KPIs.
 * Virtualize ip6_mrouter socket.
   Changes mostly localized to IPv6 MROUTING.
 * Don't do a local group lookup in MROUTING.
 * Kill unused KAME prototypes in6_purgemkludge(), in6_restoremkludge().
 * Preserve KAME DAD timer jitter behaviour in MLDv1 compatibility mode.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.
 * Update UPDATING.

NOTE WELL:
 * This code hasn't been tested against real MLDv2 queriers
   (yet), although the on-wire protocol has been verified in Wireshark.
 * There are a few unresolved issues in the socket layer APIs to
   do with scope ID propagation.
 * There is a LOR present in ip6_output()'s use of
   in6_setscope() which needs to be resolved. See comments in mld6.c.
   This is believed to be benign and can't be avoided for the moment
   without re-introducing an indirect netisr.

084ce14c28 Use TAILQ_FOREACH() and TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE() rather than manually
accessing queue(9) structure fields for if_addrhead.

Prefer FreeBSD field name if_addrhead to compatibility macro
if_addrlist.

ec826ad5c7 This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
   possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
  the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
  active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
  provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
  me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

98e7fe0e6a Second round of putting global variables, which were virtualized
but formerly missed under VIMAGE_GLOBAL.

Put the extern declarations of the  virtualized globals
under VIMAGE_GLOBAL as the globals themsevles are already.
This will help by the time when we are going to remove the globals
entirely.
