Ability to load-balance traffic over multiple path is a must-have thing for routers.
It may be used by the servers to balance outgoing traffic over multiple default gateways.
The previous implementation, RADIX_MPATH stayed in the shadow for too long.
It was not well maintained, which lead us to a vicious circle - people were using
non-contiguous mask or firewalls to achieve similar goals. As a result, some routing
daemons implementation still don't have multipath support enabled for FreeBSD.
Turning on ROUTE_MPATH by default would fix it. It will allow to reduce networking
feature gap to other operating systems. Linux and OpenBSD enabled similar support
at least 5 years ago.
ROUTE_MPATH does not consume memory unless actually used. It enables around ~1k LOC.
It does not bring any behaviour changes for userland.
Additionally, feature is (temporarily) turned off by the net.route.multipath sysctl
defaulting to 0.

QEMU's RISC-V virt machine provides syscon-power and syscon-reset
devices as the means by which to shutdown and reboot. We also need to
ensure that we have attached the syscon_generic device before attaching
any syscon_power devices, and so we introduce a new riscv_syscon device
akin to aw_syscon added in r327936. Currently the SiFive test finisher
is used as the specific implementation of such a syscon device.

Being able to use tmpfs without kernel modules is very useful when building
small MFS_ROOT kernels without a real file system.
Including TMPFS also matches arm/GENERIC and the MIPS std.MALTA configs.
Compiling TMPFS only adds 4 .c files so this should not make much of a
difference to NO_MODULES build times (as we do for our minimal RISC-V
images).

Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

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.

It looks like the intent was to allow ZSTD support to be
compiled into the kernel with options ZSTDIO. But it doesn't look
like that was ever implemented or I'm missing how to do it.
I did a cursory audit of kernel config files and made a decision to
enable ZSTDIO in riscv GENERIC and mips MALTA configurations. All other
kernel configurations already had this option in their kernel configs
but they didn't do anything useful as the feature was declared as
"standard" prior to this.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.
