this patch were submitted by Maurycy Pawlowski-Wieronski. In addition
to Maurycy's change, break out softc tear down from ppp_clone_destroy()
into ppp_destroy() rather than performing a convoluted series of
extraction casts and indirections during tear down at mod unload.

+ remove useless wrappers around bcmp(), bcopy(), bzero().
The code assumes that bcmp() returns 0 if the size is 0, but
this is true for both the libc and the libkern versions.
+ nuke Bcmp, Bzero, Bcopy from radix.h now that nobody uses them anymore.
there so there are no ABI changes);
+ replace 5 redefinitions of the IPF2AC macro with one in if_arp.h
Eventually (but before freezing the ABI) we need to get rid of
struct arpcom (initially with the help of some smart #defines
to avoid having to touch each and every driver, see below).
Apart from the struct ifnet, struct arpcom now only stores a copy
of the MAC address (ac_enaddr, but we already have another copy in
the struct ifnet -- if_addrhead), and a netgraph-specific field
which is _always_ accessed through the ifp, so it might well go
into the struct ifnet too (where, besides, there is already an entry
for AF_NETGRAPH data...)
Too bad ac_enaddr is widely referenced by all drivers. But
this can be fixed as follows:
#define ac_enaddr ac_if.the_original_ac_enaddr_in_struct_ifnet
(note that the right hand side would likely be a pointer rather than
the base address of an array.)
+ replace 0 with NULL where appropriate (not complete)
+ remove register declaration while there
+ add argument names to function prototypes to have a better idea of
what they are used for
+ add 'const' qualifiers in 3 places
+ remove a partly incorrect comment that i introduced in the last commit;
+ deal with the correct part of the above comment by cleaning up the
updates of 'info' -- rti_addrs needd not to be updated,
rti_info[RTAX_IFP] can be set once outside the loop.
While at it, correct a few misspelling of NULL as 0, but there are
way too many in this file, and i did not want to clutter the
important part of this commit.

Comment the need to store the same info (mac address for ethernet-type
devices) in two different places.
No functional changes. Even the compiler output should be unmodified

of an interface. No functional change.
On passing, comment a likely bug in net/rtsock.c:sysctl_ifmalist()
which, if confirmed, would deserve to be fixed and MFC'ed
the space occupied by a struct sockaddr when passed through a
routing socket.
Use it to replace the macro ROUNDUP(int), that does the same but

(partial) userland changes to follow.
I'm not sure this is completely correct but at least this
is consistent with the accounting of incoming broadcasts.

For now, preserve the gif_called functionality to limit the nesting
level because uncontrolled nesting can easily cause the kernel stack
exhaustion. Rumors are it should be shot to allow people to easily
shoot themselves in the foot, but I have ran out of cartridges. ;)
+ struct ifnet: remove unused fields, move ipv6-related field close
to each other, add a pointer to l3<->l2 translation tables (arp,nd6,
etc.) for future use.
+ struct route: remove an unused field, move close to each
other some fields that might likely go away in the future
- Add tun_mtx to tun_softc. Annotate what is (and isn't) locked by it.
- Lock down tun_flags, tun_pid.
- In the output path, cache the value of tun_flags so it's consistent
when processing a particular packet rather than re-reading the field.
- In general, use unlocked reads for debugging.
- Annotate a couple of places where additional unlocked reads may be
possible.
- Annotate that tun_pid is used as a bug in tunopen().
if_tun is now largely MPSAFE, although questions remain about some of
the cdevsw fields and how they are synchronized.
other pseudo-interfaces, break out tear-down of a softc into a
separate tun_destroy() function, and invoke that from the module
unloader. Hold tunmtx across manipulations of the global softc list.
- Add gre_mtx to protect global softc list.
- Hold gre_mtx over various list operations (insert, delete).
- Centralize if_gre interface teardown in gre_destroy(), and call this
from modevent unload and gre_clone_destroy().
- Export gre_mtx to ip_gre.c, which walks the gre list to look up gre
interfaces during encapsulation. Add a wonking comment on how we need
some sort of drain/reference count mechanism to keep gre references
alive while in use and simultaneous destroy.
This commit does not lockdown softc data, which follows in a future
commit.
- Add gif_mtx, which protects globals.
- Hold gif_mtx around manipulation of gif_softc_list.
- Abstract gif destruction code into gif_destroy(), which tears down
a softc after it's been removed from the global list by either module
unload or clone destroy.
- Lock gif_called, even though we know gif_called is broken with reentrant
network processing.
- Document an event ordering problem in gif_set_tunnel() that will need
to be fixed.
gif_softc fields not locked down in this commit.
processing with gif interfaces, to a global variable named "gif_called".
Add an annotation that this approach will not work with a reentrant
network stack, and that we should instead use packet tags to detect
excessive recursive processing.
the tap driver, even with Giant over the cdev operation vector, due to
a non-atomic test-and-set of the si_drv1 field in the dev_t. This bug
exists with Giant under high memory pressure, as malloc() may sleep
in tapcreate(), but is less likely to occur. The resolution will
probably be to cover si_drv1 using the global tapmtx since no softc is
available, but I need to think about this problem more generally
across a range of drivers using si_drv1 in combination with SI_CHEAPCLONE
to defer expensive allocation to open().
Correct what appears to be a bug in the original if_tap implementation,
in which tapopen() will panic if a tap device instance is opened more
than once due to an incorrect assertion -- only triggered if INVARIANTS
is compiled in (i.e., when built into a kernel). Return EBUSY instead.
Expand mtx_lock() coverage using tp->tap_mtx to include tp->ether_addr.
as the process that opens tun_softc can exit before the file
descriptor is closed.
