529cb8e371 Update UPDATING for NETISR2 merge, fix a typo in another UPDATING entry. 2009-06-01 16:00:36 +00:00

c2c2a7c11e Convert the two dimensional array to be malloced and introduce
an accessor function to get the correct rnh pointer back.

Update netstat to get the correct pointer using kvm_read()
as well.

This not only fixes the ABI problem depending on the kernel
option but also permits the tunable to overwrite the kernel
option at boot time up to MAXFIBS, enlarging the number of
FIBs without having to recompile. So people could just use
GENERIC now.

1ae1c2a3bd Reverse the logic for ADAPTIVE_SX option and enable it by default.
Introduce for this operation the reverse NO_ADAPTIVE_SX option.
The flag SX_ADAPTIVESPIN to be passed to sx_init_flags(9) gets suppressed
and the new flag, offering the reversed logic, SX_NOADAPTIVE is added.

Additively implements adaptive spininning for sx held in shared mode.
The spinning limit can be handled through sysctls in order to be tuned
while the code doesn't reach the release, after which time they should
be dropped probabilly.

This change has made been necessary by recent benchmarks where it does
improve concurrency of workloads in presence of high contention
(ie. ZFS).

KPI breakage is documented by __FreeBSD_version bumping, manpage and
UPDATING updates.

0304c73163 Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

37f17770e0 V_irtualize the if_clone framework, thus allowing for clonable ifnets
to optionally have overlapping unit numbers if attached in different
vnets.

At this stage if_loop is the only clonable ifnet class that has been
extended to allow for such overlapping allocation of unit numbers, i.e.
in each vnet it is possible to have a lo0 interface.  Other clonable ifnet
classes remain to operate with traditional semantics, i.e. each instance
of a clonable ifnet will be assigned a globally unique unit number,
regardless in which vnet such an ifnet becomes instantiated.

While here, garbage collect unused _lo_list field in struct vnet_net,
as well as improve indentation for #defines in sys/net/vnet.h.

The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore bump
__FreeBSD_version.

This change has no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE kernel builds.

dfc79e892f MFV of tzcode2009e:
Upgrade of the tzcode from 2004a to 2009e.

Changes are numerous, but include...

- New format of the output of zic, which supports both 32 and 64
  bit time_t formats.

- zdump on 64 bit platforms will actually produce some output instead
  of doing nothing for a looooooooong time.

- linux_base-fX, with X >= at least 8, will work without problems related
  to the local time again.

The original patch, based on the 2008e, has been running for a long
time on both my laptop and desktop machine and have been tested by
other people.

After the installation of this code and the running of zic(8), you
need to run tzsetup(8) again to install the new datafile.

f6dfe47a14 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod.  SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

33cde13046 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.

This work was mostly derived from the IGMPv3 implementation, and
has been sponsored by a third party.

443fc3176d Introduce a number of changes to the MROUTING code.
This is purely a forwarding plane cleanup; no control plane
code is involved.

Summary:
 * Split IPv4 and IPv6 MROUTING support. The static compile-time
   kernel option remains the same, however, the modules may now
   be built for IPv4 and IPv6 separately as ip_mroute_mod and
   ip6_mroute_mod.
 * Clean up the IPv4 multicast forwarding code to use BSD queue
   and hash table constructs. Don't build our own timer abstractions
   when ratecheck() and timevalclear() etc will do.
 * Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface
   table (VIF) as sysctls, to reduce netstat's dependence on libkvm
   for this information for running kernels.
   * bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
 * Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,
   net.inet.ip.mfchashsize (defaults to 256).
 * Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
 * Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
   These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
 * Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
 * Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
   The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
   moved to mif6 for the time being.
 * More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

v4 path tested using ports/net/mcast-tools.
v6 changes are mostly mechanical locking and *have not* been tested.
As these changes partially break some kernel ABIs, they will not
be MFCed. There is a lot more work to be done here.
