This is a painful change, but it is needed. On the one hand, we avoid
modifying them, and this slows down some ideas, on the other hand we still
eventually modify them and tools like netstat(1) never work on next version of
FreeBSD. We maintain a ton of spares in them, and we already got some ifdef
hell at the end of tcpcb.
Details:
- Hide struct inpcb, struct tcpcb under _KERNEL || _WANT_FOO.
- Make struct xinpcb, struct xtcpcb pure API structures, not including
kernel structures inpcb and tcpcb inside. Export into these structures
the fields from inpcb and tcpcb that are known to be used, and put there
a ton of spare space.
- Make kernel and userland utilities compilable after these changes.
- Bump __FreeBSD_version.

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.

The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.
The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory. This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.
The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie. This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK. If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically. A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection. While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.
The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago. Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory. Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.
This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps. Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK. While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.
The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes. Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen. Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.
The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.
The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns. A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.
The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys. These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.
In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.
