tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

By default, cores are now assigned to queues in a sequential

system with two NICs each using two queue pairs, the nic:queue -> core
mapping has changed from this:
0:0 -> 0, 0:1 -> 1

To this:
0:0 -> 0, 0:1 -> 1

Additionally, a device can now be configured to use separate cores for TX
and RX queues.
Two new tunables have been added, dev.X.Y.iflib.separate_txrx and
dev.X.Y.iflib.core_offset. If core_offset is set, the NIC is not part

This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be
used as an entropy field for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit
networks. Also most of multiqueue network cards are able distribute
incoming UDP datagrams to different NIC queues, while very little are
able do this for GRE packets.
When an administrator enables UDP encapsulation with command
`ifconfig gre0 udpencap`, the driver creates kernel socket, that binds
to tunnel source address and after udp_set_kernel_tunneling() starts
receiving of all UDP packets destined to 4754 port. Each kernel socket
maintains list of tunnels with different destination addresses. Thus
when several tunnels use the same source address, they all handled by
single socket. The IP[V6]_BINDANY socket option is used to be able bind
socket to source address even if it is not yet available in the system.
This may happen on system boot, when gre(4) interface is created before
source address become available. The encapsulation and sending of packets
is done directly from gre(4) into ip[6]_output() without using sockets.

This commit adds new if_alloc_domain() and if_alloc_dev() methods to
allocate ifnets. When called with a domain on a NUMA machine,
ifalloc_domain() will record the NUMA domain in the ifnet, and it will
allocate the ifnet struct from memory which is local to that NUMA
node. Similarly, if_alloc_dev() is a wrapper for if_alloc_domain
which uses a driver supplied device_t to call ifalloc_domain() with
the appropriate domain.
Note that the new if_numa_domain field fits in an alignment pad in

read_random() is/was used, mostly without error checking, in a lot of
very sensitive places in the kernel -- including seeding the widely used
arc4random(9).
Most uses, especially arc4random(9), should block until the device is seeded
rather than proceeding with a bogus or empty seed. I did not spy any
obvious kernel consumers where blocking would be inappropriate (in the
sense that lack of entropy would be ok -- I did not investigate locking
angle thoroughly). In many instances, arc4random_buf(9) or that family
of APIs would be more appropriate anyway; that work was done in r345865.
A minor cleanup was made to the implementation of the READ_RANDOM function:
instead of using a variable-length array on the stack to temporarily store
all full random blocks sufficient to satisfy the requested 'len', only store
a single block on the stack. This has some benefit in terms of reducing
stack usage, reducing memcpy overhead and reducing devrandom output leakage
via the stack. Additionally, the stack block is now safely zeroed if it was
used.
One caveat of this change is that the kern.arandom sysctl no longer returns
zero bytes immediately if the random device is not seeded. This means that
FreeBSD-specific userspace applications which attempted to handle an
unseeded random device may be broken by this change. If such behavior is
needed, it can be replaced by the more portable getrandom(2) GRND_NONBLOCK
option.
On any typical FreeBSD system, entropy is persisted on read/write media and
used to seed the random device very early in boot, and blocking is never a
problem.
This change primarily impacts the behavior of /dev/random on embedded
systems with read-only media that do not configure "nodevice random". We
toggle the default from 'charge on blindly with no entropy' to 'block
indefinitely.' This default is safer, but may cause frustration. Embedded
system designers using FreeBSD have several options. The most obvious is to
plan to have a small writable NVRAM or NAND to persist entropy, like larger
systems. Early entropy can be fed from any loader, or by writing directly
to /dev/random during boot. Some embedded SoCs now provide a fast hardware
entropy source; this would also work for quickly seeding Fortuna. A 3rd
option would be creating an embedded-specific, more simplistic random
module, like that designed by DJB in [1] (this design still requires a small
rewritable media for forward secrecy). Finally, the least preferred option
might be "nodevice random", although I plan to remove this in a subsequent
revision.
To help developers emulate the behavior of these embedded systems on
ordinary workstations, the tunable kern.random.block_seeded_status was
added. When set to 1, it blocks the random device.
I attempted to document this change in random.4 and random.9 and ran into a
bunch of out-of-date or irrelevant or inaccurate content and ended up
rototilling those documents more than I intended to. Sorry. I think
they're in a better state now.

The KPI have been reviewed and cleansed of features that were planned
back 20 years ago and never implemented. The pfil(9) internals have
been made opaque to protocols with only returned types and function
declarations exposed. The KPI is made more strict, but at the same time
more extensible, as kernel uses same command structures that userland
ioctl uses.
In nutshell [KA]PI is about declaring filtering points, declaring
filters and linking and unlinking them together.
New [KA]PI makes it possible to reconfigure pfil(9) configuration:
change order of hooks, rehook filter from one filtering point to a
different one, disconnect a hook on output leaving it on input only,
prepend/append a filter to existing list of filters.
Now it possible for a single packet filter to provide multiple rulesets
that may be linked to different points. Think of per-interface ACLs in
Cisco or Juniper. None of existing packet filters yet support that,
however limited usage is already possible, e.g. default ruleset can
be moved to single interface, as soon as interface would pride their
filtering points.
Another future feature is possiblity to create pfil heads, that provide
not an mbuf pointer but just a memory pointer with length. That would
allow filtering at very early stages of a packet lifecycle, e.g. when
packet has just been received by a NIC and no mbuf was yet allocated.

- www/uwsgi hardcodes the script path
- security/openvpn guesses either $_file or $0 based on $0 = /etc/rc
Instead of forcing rc scripts to guess, provide an rc_service variable to
the scripts that gets set appropriately both for direct execution or when a

o Dynamically load all the .so files found in /libexec/nvmecontrol and
/usr/local/libexec/nvmecontrol.
o Link nvmecontrol -rdynamic so that its symbols are visible to the
libraries we load.
o Create concatinated linker sets that we dynamically expand.
o Add the linked-in top and logpage linker sets to the mirrors for them
and add those sets to the mirrors when we load a new .so.
o Add some macros to help hide the names of the linker sets.
o Update the man page.

pfsync code is called for every new state, state update and state
deletion in pf. While pf itself can operate on multiple states at the
same time (on different cores, assuming the states hash to a different
hashrow), pfsync only had a single lock.
This greatly reduced throughput on multicore systems.
Address this by splitting the pfsync queues into buckets, based on the
state id. This ensures that updates for a given connection always end up
in the same bucket, which allows pfsync to still collapse multiple
updates into one, while allowing multiple cores to proceed at the same
time.
The number of buckets is tunable, but defaults to 2 x number of cpus.
Benchmarking has shown improvement, depending on hardware and setup, from ~30%
to ~100%.

This is similar to taskqueue_drain_all(9) but will wait for the queue
to become idle before returning instead of only waiting for
already-enqueued tasks to finish. This will be used in the opensolaris
compat layer.

We generally document shutdown(8) instead of reboot(8) as it's better for
interactive use.
In modern FreeBSD is matters a lot less, it's mostly just convention. One
minor thing is that shutdown(8) produces a global message, while reboot(8)
does not. It is believed that historically, some versions of reboot did not
do appropriate safe shutdown checks and just rebooted.
It's also just consistency: for example the handbook[1] documents shutdown.
There is actually another important difference between reboot and shutdown
-r now: reboot does not run /etc/rc.shutdown. This is because reboot has
its own shutdown procedure and does not signal init like init 6 and
shutdown -r now do (except in the case of rerooting via reboot -r).
A few years ago jilles@ proposed changing reboot's default to signalling
init (preserving reboot -q which just invokes the reboot system call), but
this was not accepted. Perhaps this can be tried again for 13.0.

The d_off field has been added to the dirent structure recently.
Currently filesystems don't support this feature. Support has been
added and tested for zfs, ufs, ext2fs, fdescfs, msdosfs and unionfs.
A stub implementation is available for cd9660, nandfs, udf and
pseudofs but hasn't been tested.
Motivation for this feature: our usecase is for a userspace nfs server
(nfs-ganesha) with zfs. At the moment we cache direntry offsets by
calling lseek once per entry, with this patch we can get the offset
directly from getdirentries(2) calls which provides a significant
speedup.
