201100c58b Initial implementation of draft-ietf-6man-ipv6only-flag.
This change defines the RA "6" (IPv6-Only) flag which routers
may advertise, kernel logic to check if all routers on a link
have the flag set and accordingly update a per-interface flag.

If all routers agree that it is an IPv6-only link, ether_output_frame(),
based on the interface flag, will filter out all ETHERTYPE_IP/ARP
frames, drop them, and return EAFNOSUPPORT to upper layers.

The change also updates ndp to show the "6" flag, ifconfig to
display the IPV6_ONLY nd6 flag if set, and rtadvd to allow
announcing the flag.

Further changes to tcpdump (contrib code) are availble and will
be upstreamed.

Tested the code (slightly earlier version) with 2 FreeBSD
IPv6 routers, a FreeBSD laptop on ethernet as well as wifi,
and with Win10 and OSX clients (which did not fall over with
the "6" flag set but not understood).

We may also want to (a) implement and RX filter, and (b) over
time enahnce user space to, say, stop dhclient from running
when the interface flag is set.  Also we might want to start
IPv6 before IPv4 in the future.

All the code is hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL option and not
compiled by default as the draft is a work-in-progress and
we cannot rely on the fact that IANA will assign the bits
as requested by the draft and hence they may change.

Dear 6man, you have running code.

5c88595e07 Do not allow use create keyword as hostname when ifconfig(8) is invoked
for already existing interface.

It appeared, that ifconfig(8) assumes `create` keyword as hostname and
tries to resolve it, when `ifconfig ifname create` invoked for already
existing interface. This can produce some unexpected results, when hostname
resolving has successfully happened. This patch adds check for such case.
When an interface is already exists, and create is only one argument,
return error message. But when there are some other arguments, just remove
create keyword from the arguments list.

af74661403 ifconfig(8): Attempt to render non-printable sequences w/ UTF-8 Environment
Currently ifconfig(8) only prints the hex representation of ssid names
with non-ASCII characters. Many modern terminals are able to properly render
non-ASCII characters. This change checks if the terminal charmap is UTF-8,
and if so, will render the characters, rather than the hex value.

This behavior is circumvented by running ifconfig(8) in a non-UTF8 locale;
e.g. C or POSIX.

It was pointed out by kp@ during the review that APs have the option to
broadcast whether their SSIDs may be interpreted as UTF-8. Ideally, we would
honor this and only attempt this behavior if it's so-broadcasted by the AP.

However, a sample survey showed that hostapd will advertise this if
indicated in config but it doesn't seem to be so common in the AP market, so
this would be effectively useless as we'll rarely know if the SSID should be
renderable as UTF-8.

Despite this, it was decided to be OK with this anyways- there's a
straightforward path to doing it the right way based on advertisement by AP
if we need to go that route, and one can revert to old behavior easily
enough at runtime if we get it wrong.

47528c67ef Make lagg creation more fault tolerant
- Warn, don't exit, when SIOCSLAGGPORT returns an error.

When we exit with an error during lagg creation, a single
failed NIC (which no longer attaches) can prevent lagg
creation and other configuration, such as adding an IPv4
address, and thus leave a machine unreachable.

- Preserve non-EEXISTS errors for exit status from SIOCSLAGGPORT,
  in case scripts are looking for it. Hopefully this can be
  extended if other parts of ifconfig can allow a "soft" failure.

- Improve the warning message to mention what lagg and what
  member are problematic.

f137973487 Allow to specify PCP on packets not belonging to any VLAN.
According to 802.1Q-2014, VLAN tagged packets with VLAN id 0 should be
considered as untagged, and only PCP and DEI values from the VLAN tag
are meaningful.  See for instance
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/connectedgrid/cg-switch-sw-master/software/configuration/guide/vlan0/b_vlan_0.html.

Make it possible to specify PCP value for outgoing packets on an
ethernet interface.  When PCP is supplied, the tag is appended, VLAN
id set to 0, and PCP is filled by the supplied value.  The code to do
VLAN tag encapsulation is refactored from the if_vlan.c and moved into
if_ethersubr.c.

Drivers might have issues with filtering VID 0 packets on
receive.  This bug should be fixed for each driver.

3cf8254f1e Add a place for a driver to report rx timestamps in nanoseconds from
boot for the received packets.

The rcv_tstmp field overlaps the place of Ln header length indicators,
not used by received packets.  The basic pkthdr rearrangement change
in sys/mbuf.h was provided by gallatin.

There are two accompanying M_ flags: M_TSTMP means that there is the
timestamp (and it was generated by hardware).

Another flag M_TSTMP_HPREC indicates that the timestamp is
high-precision.  Practically M_TSTMP_HPREC means that hardware
provided additional precision comparing with the stamps when the flag
is not set.  E.g., for ConnectX all packets are stamped by hardware
when PCIe transaction to write out the completion descriptor is
performed, but PTP packet are stamped on port.  For Intel cards, when
PTP assist is enabled, only PTP packets are stamped in the limited
number of registers, so if Intel cards ever start support this
mechanism, they would always set M_TSTMP | M_TSTMP_HPREC if hardware
timestamp is present for the given packet.

Add IFCAP_HWRXTSTMP interface capability to indicate the support for
hardware rx timestamping, and ifconfig(8) command to toggle it.

particular, NICs which are components of a lagg(4) interface all report the
same MAC.

When attaching, the NIC driver passes the MAC address it read from the
hardware as an argument to ether_ifattach(). Keep a second copy of it, and
create ioctl(SIOCGHWADDR) to return it. Teach `ifconfig' to report it along
with the active MAC address.

fcf596178b Merge projects/ipsec into head/.
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.

established SO_MAX_PACING_RATE setsockopt(). The API support rates in
the range from 1 to 4Gbytes/s which are suitable for regular TCP and
UDP streams. The setsockopt(2) manual page has been updated.

- Add rate limit function callback API to "struct ifnet" which supports
the following operations: if_snd_tag_alloc(), if_snd_tag_modify(),
if_snd_tag_query() and if_snd_tag_free().

- Add support to ifconfig to view, set and clear the IFCAP_TXRTLMT
flag, which tells if a network driver supports rate limiting or not.

- This patch also adds support for rate limiting through VLAN and LAGG
intermediate network devices.

- How rate limiting works:

1) The userspace application calls setsockopt() after accepting or
making a new connection to set the rate which is then stored in the
socket structure in the kernel. Later on when packets are transmitted
a check is made in the transmit path for rate changes. A rate change
implies a non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_alloc() call will be made to the
destination network interface, which then sets up a custom sendqueue
with the given rate limitation parameter. A "struct m_snd_tag" pointer is
returned which serves as a "snd_tag" hint in the m_pkthdr for the
subsequently transmitted mbufs.

2) When the network driver sees the "m->m_pkthdr.snd_tag" different
from NULL, it will move the packets into a designated rate limited sendqueue
given by the snd_tag pointer. It is up to the individual drivers how the rate
limited traffic will be rate limited.

3) Route changes are detected by the NIC drivers in the ifp->if_transmit()
routine when the ifnet pointer in the incoming snd_tag mismatches the
one of the network interface. The network adapter frees the mbuf and
returns EAGAIN which causes the ip_output() to release and clear the send
tag. Upon next ip_output() a new "snd_tag" will be tried allocated.

4) When the PCB is detached the custom sendqueue will be released by a
non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_free() call to the currently bound network
interface.

e9bb7f9aa1 [ifconfig] add initial VHT (802.11ac) configuration and channel support to ifconfig.
This is very preliminary and mostly enough for me (with other patches)
to work on VHT support.

It adds:

* VHT20, VHT40 and VHT80 regulatory/band awareness
* VHT20, VHT40 and VHT80 channel configuration / population
* Parses vht channel specifications (eg ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev athp0 wlanmode monitor channel 36:vht/80)
* Configuration of VHT, VHT40, VHT80, VHT80+80, VHT160 channel
  width (IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT* flags in net80211)

TODO:

* No VHT80+80 or VHT160 channels yet - I don't yet have hardware, and I'm
  not yet sure how to support/populate VHT80+80 channels.
* No, I won't update the manpage until this is "more done", lest someone
  tries using vht and gets upset with me.
* No, I won't commit the regulatory database I'm testing with, so you'll
  just end up with no VHT channels ever populated.  Which is good, as there
  isn't an 11ac driver in-tree yet to try it with.
