0a7aab5128 iflib(9): Add support for cloning pseudo interfaces
Part 3 of many ...
The VPC framework relies heavily on cloning pseudo interfaces
(vmnics, vpc switch, vcpswitch port, hostif, vxlan if, etc).

This pulls in that piece. Some ancillary changes get pulled
in as a side effect.

0080e81d7c Add 32-bit compat for ioctls that take struct ifgroupreq.
Use an accessor to access ifgr_group and ifgr_groups.

Use an macro CASE_IOC_IFGROUPREQ(cmd) in place of case statements such
as "case SIOCAIFGROUP:". This avoids poluting the switch statements
with large numbers of #ifdefs.

ac0325b4db Use an accessor function to access ifr_data.
This fixes 32-bit compat (no ioctl command defintions are required
as struct ifreq is the same size).  This is believed to be sufficent to
fully support ifconfig on 32-bit systems.

9de215608c 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.

4736ccfd9c sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

ce9362dfb8 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.

7d1e282c9d if: Add ioctls to get RSS key and hash type/function.
It will be needed by hn(4) to configure its RSS key and hash
type/function in the transparent VF mode in order to match VF's
RSS settings. The description of the transparent VF mode and
the RSS hash value issue are here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=322299
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=322485

These are generic enough to promise two independent IOCs instead
of abusing SIOCGDRVSPEC.

Setting RSS key and hash type/function is a different story,
which probably requires more discussion.

Comment about UDP_{IPV4,IPV6,IPV6_EX} were only in the patch
in the review request; these hash types are standardized now.

efa6326974 Implement kernel support for hardware rate limited sockets.
- Add RATELIMIT kernel configuration keyword which must be set to
enable the new functionality.

- Add support for hardware driven, Receive Side Scaling, RSS aware, rate
limited sendqueues and expose the functionality through the already
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.

b38edcd355 Since 32-bit if_baudrate isn't enough to describe a baud rate of a 10 Gbit
interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.

o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.

o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
  notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
  bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
  which at modern speeds overflow within a second.

  This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.

o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
  make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
  8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.

o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.

__FreeBSD_version bumped.

e3737c33e7 Restructure the mbuf pkthdr to make it fit for upcoming capabilities and
features.  The changes in particular are:

o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
  layer specific union PH_loc for local use.  Protocols can flexibly overlay
  their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
  worked on.

o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
  instead of pkthdr.header.

o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
  information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).

o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
  rsstype field.  Adjust accessor macros.

o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
  with the packet.  It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
  get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
  a modernized ALTQ.

o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
  from the start of the packet.  This is important for various offload
  capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
  and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
  information.  Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
  unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.

o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
  packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
  Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
  making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.

o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
  stack) and inbound (up the stack) use.  The CSUM flags used to be a bit
  chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
  places.  Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
  Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API.  The drivers
  can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.

o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

factor. in other words,

real ifi_baudrate = ifi_baudrate * 10 ^ ifi_baudrate power factor

ac429c7044 It turns out that too many drivers are not only parsing the L2/3/4
headers for TSO but also for generic checksum offloading.  Ideally we
would only have one common function shared amongst all drivers, and
perhaps when updating them for IPv6 we should introduce that.
Eventually we should provide the meta information along with mbufs to
avoid (re-)parsing entirely.

To not break IPv6 (checksums and offload) and to be able to MFC the
changes without risking to hurt 3rd party drivers, duplicate the v4
framework, as other OSes have done as well.

Introduce interface capability flags for TX/RX checksum offload with
IPv6, to allow independent toggling (where possible).  Add CSUM_*_IPV6
flags for UDP/TCP over IPv6, and reserve further for SCTP, and IPv6
fragmentation.  Define CSUM_DELAY_DATA_IPV6 as we do for legacy IP and
add an alias for CSUM_DATA_VALID_IPV6.

This pretty much brings IPv6 handling in line with IPv4.
TSO is still handled in a different way and not via if_hwassist.

Update ifconfig to allow (un)setting of the new capability flags.
Update loopback to announce the new capabilities and if_hwassist flags.

Individual driver updates will have to follow, as will SCTP.

27a36f6ac8 A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

5675a54fb1 Manage vnets via the jail system. If a jail is given the boolean
parameter "vnet" when it is created, a new vnet instance will be created
along with the jail.  Networks interfaces can be moved between prisons
with an ioctl similar to the one that moves them between vimages.
For now vnets will co-exist under both jails and vimages, but soon
struct vimage will be going away.

b523608331 When user_frac in the polling subsystem is low it is going to busy the
CPU for too long period than necessary.  Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.

In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).

Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

c797841f0d Add a new interface flag, IFF_DYING, which is set when a device driver
calls if_free(), and remains set if the refcount is elevated.  IF_DYING
skips the bit in the if_flags bitmask previously used by IFF_NEEDSGIANT,
so that an MFC can be done without changing which bit is used, as
IFF_NEEDSGIANT is still present in 7.x.

ifnet_byindex_ref() checks for IFF_DYING and returns NULL if it is set,
preventing new references from by acquired by index, preventing
monitoring sysctls from seeing it.  Other lookup mechanisms currently
do not check IFF_DYING, but may need to in the future.

a4aa8097ea Remove IFF_NEEDSGIANT interface flag: we no longer provide ifnet-layer
infrastructure to support non-MPSAFE network device drivers.

interface had a parent (was attached).

4ffedc310b Trim some noise from some #ifdef's. This had leaked into the compat32
support for bpf(4) due to hacks in the Y! tree for a truss32 binary
(since superseded by native support for 32-bit binaries in truss itself).
