This makes it possible to retrieve per-connection statistical
information such as the receive window size, RTT, or goodput,
using a newly added TCP_STATS getsockopt(3) option, and extract
them using the stats_voistat_fetch(3) API.
See the net/tcprtt port for an example consumer of this API.
Compared to the existing TCP_INFO system, the main differences
are that this mechanism is easy to extend without breaking ABI,
and provides statistical information instead of raw "snapshots"
of values at a given point in time. stats(3) is more generic
and can be used in both userland and the kernel.

r354748-354750 replaced the KAME macros with m_pulldown() calls.
Contrary to the rest of the network stack m_len checks before m_pulldown()
were not put in placed (see r354748).
Put these m_len checks in place for now (to go along with the style of the
network stack since the initial commits). These are not put in for
performance but to avoid an error scenario (even though it also will help
performance at the moment as it avoid allocating an extra mbuf; not because
of the unconditional function call).
The observed error case went like this:
(1) an mbuf with M_EXT arrives and we call m_pullup() unconditionally on it.
(2) m_pullup() will call m_get() unless the requested length is larger than
MHLEN (in which case it'll m_freem() the perfectly fine mbuf) and migrate the
requested length of data and pkthdr into the new mbuf.
(3) If m_get() succeeds, a further m_pullup() call going over MHLEN will fail.
This was observed with failing auto-configuration as an RA packet of
200 bytes exceeded MHLEN and the m_pullup() called from nd6_ra_input()
dropped the mbuf.
(Re-)adding the m_len checks before m_pullup() calls avoids this problems
with mbufs using external storage for now.

With VIMAGE kernels modules get special treatment as they need
to also keep the original values and make copies for each instance.
For that a few pages of vnet modspace are provided and the
kernel-linker and the VNET framework know how to deal with things.
When the modspace is (almost) full, other modules which would
overflow the modspace cannot be loaded and kldload will fail.
ip_mroute uses a lot of variable space, mostly be four big arrays:
set_vnet 0000000000000510 vnet_entry_multicast_register_if
set_vnet 0000000000000700 vnet_entry_viftable
set_vnet 0000000000002000 vnet_entry_bw_meter_timers
set_vnet 0000000000002800 vnet_entry_bw_upcalls
Dynamically malloc the three big ones for each instance we need
and free them again on vnet teardown (the 4th is an ifnet).
That way they only need module space for a single pointer and
allow a lot more modules using virtualized variables to be loaded
on a VNET kernel.

In a few places we have IP6_EXTHDR_GET() left in upper layer protocols.
The IP6_EXTHDR_GET() macro might perform an m_pulldown() in case the data
fragment is not contiguous.
Convert these last remaining instances into m_pullup()s instead.
In CARP, for example, we will a few lines later call m_pullup() anyway,
the IPsec code coming from OpenBSD would otherwise have done the m_pullup()
and are copying the data a bit later anyway, so pulling it in seems no
better or worse.
Note: this leaves very few m_pulldown() cases behind in the tree and we
might want to consider removing them as well to make mbuf management
easier again on a path to variable size mbufs, especially given
m_pulldown() still has an issue not re-checking M_WRITEABLE().

In ip6_[direct_]input() we are looping over the extension headers
to deal with the next header. We pass a pointer to an mbuf pointer
to the handling functions. In certain cases the mbuf can be updated
there and we need to pass the new one back. That missing in
dest6_input() and route6_input(). In tcp6_input() we should also
update it before we call tcp_input().
In addition to that mark the mbuf NULL all the times when we return
that we are done with handling the packet and no next header should
be checked (IPPROTO_DONE). This will eventually allow us to assert
proper behaviour and catch the above kind of errors more easily,
expecting *mp to always be set.
This change is extracted from a larger patch and not an exhaustive

First, we select if we need read or write lock in PCB itself, we take
the lock and enter network epoch. Then, we proceed for the rest of
the function. In case if we need to modify PCB hash, we would take
write lock on it for a short piece of code.
We could exit the epoch before allocating an mbuf, but with this
patch we are keeping it all the way into ip_output()/ip6_output().
Today this creates an epoch recursion, since ip_output() enters epoch
itself. However, once all protocols are reviewed, ip_output() and
ip6_output() would require epoch instead of entering it.
Note: I'm not 100% sure that in udp6_output() the epoch is required.
We don't do PCB hash lookup for a bound socket. And all branches of
in6_select_src() don't require epoch, at least they lack assertions.
Today inet6 address list is protected by rmlock, although it is CKLIST.
AFAIU, the future plan is to protect it by network epoch. That would
require epoch in in6_select_src(). Anyway, in future ip6_output()
would require epoch, udp6_output() would need to enter it.

In preparation for another change factor out various variable cleanups.
These mainly include:
(1) do not assign values to variables during declaration: this makes
the code more readable and does allow for better grouping of
variable declarations,
(2) do not assign values to variables before need; e.g., if a variable
is only used in the 2nd half of a function and we have multiple
return paths before that, then do not set it before it is needed, and
(3) try to avoid assigning the same value multiple times.

we remove the stack from the pacer and recalculate how

the comparision was backwards so we end up with a negative

Debugnet is a simplistic and specialized panic- or debug-time reliable
datagram transport. It can drive a single connection at a time and is
currently unidirectional (debug/panic machine transmit to remote server
only).
It is mostly a verbatim code lift from netdump(4). Netdump(4) remains
the only consumer (until the rest of this patch series lands).
The INET-specific logic has been extracted somewhat more thoroughly than
previously in netdump(4), into debugnet_inet.c. UDP-layer logic and up, as
much as possible as is protocol-independent, remains in debugnet.c. The
separation is not perfect and future improvement is welcome. Supporting
INET6 is a long-term goal.
Much of the diff is "gratuitous" renaming from 'netdump_' or 'nd_' to
'debugnet_' or 'dn_' -- sorry. I thought keeping the netdump name on the
generic module would be more confusing than the refactoring.
The only functional change here is the mbuf allocation / tracking. Instead
of initiating solely on netdump-configured interface(s) at dumpon(8)
configuration time, we watch for any debugnet-enabled NIC for link
activation and query it for mbuf parameters at that time. If they exceed
the existing high-water mark allocation, we re-allocate and track the new
high-water mark. Otherwise, we leave the pre-panic mbuf allocation alone.
In a future patch in this series, this will allow initiating netdump from
panic ddb(4) without pre-panic configuration.
No other functional change intended.

partial fragmented packets before a network interface is detached.
When sending IPv4 or IPv6 fragmented packets and a fragment is lost
before the network device is freed, the mbuf making up the fragment
will remain in the temporary hashed fragment list and cause a panic
when it times out due to accessing a freed network interface
structure.
1) Make sure the m_pkthdr.rcvif always points to a valid network
interface. Else the rcvif field should be set to NULL.
2) Use the rcvif of the last received fragment as m_pkthdr.rcvif for
the fully defragged packet, instead of the first received fragment.
