The scoreboarding code was obtained from OpenBSD, and many
of the remaining changes were inspired by OpenBSD, but not
taken directly from there.
You can enable/disable sack using net.inet.tcp.do_sack. You can
also limit the number of sack holes that all senders can have in
the scoreboard with net.inet.tcp.sackhole_limit.

- Split the code out into if_clone.[ch].
- Locked struct if_clone. [1]
- Add a per-cloner match function rather then simply matching names of
the form <name><unit> and <name>.
- Use the match function to allow creation of <interface>.<tag>
vlan interfaces. The old way is preserved unchanged!
- Also the match function to allow creation of stf(4) interfaces named
stf0, stf, or 6to4. This is the only major user visible change in
that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
does not print "stf0" to stdout.
- Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
interfaces. Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
pfsync0. In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
- Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
cloner functions.
- The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE
instead.

ld: locore.o: non-pic code with imm relocation against dynamic
symbol `__gp'
With binutils 2.15, ld(1) defines the implicit/automatic symbol __gp
as a dynamic symbol and thus will now complain when used in a non-PIC
fashion (the immediate relocation used to set the GP register). Resolve
this by defining __gp in the linker script. Make sure __gp is aligned
on a 16-byte boundary.
Note: the 0x200000 magic offset is due to having a 22-bit GP-relative
relocation. The GOT will be accessed with negative offsets from GP.
Version 3.5 brings:
- Atomic commits of ruleset changes (reduce the chance of ending up in an
inconsistent state).
- A 30% reduction in the size of state table entries.
- Source-tracking (limit number of clients and states per client).
- Sticky-address (the flexibility of round-robin with the benefits of
source-hash).
- Significant improvements to interface handling.

channel number is hardwired and we don't support MCAP for multicast
channel allocation - more infrastructure is required in the firewire

all of the interface between the driver and the bus. This will enable
us to stop special casing eisa bus attachments in modules and treat them
like we treat all other busses.
In the longer run, we need to eliminate much (all?) of these interfaces
and switch to using the standard bus_alloc_resource(), but that's not
done right now.

mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:

Fixed profiling of trap, syscall and interrupt handlers and some
ordinary functions, essentially by backing out half of rev.1.106 of
i386/exception.s. The handlers must be between certain labels for
the purposes of profiling, and this was broken by scattering them in
separately compiled .s files, especially for ordinary functions that
ended up between the labels. Merge the files by #including them as
before, except with different pathnames and better comments and
organization. Changes to the scattered files are minimal -- just
move the labels to the file that does the #includes.
This also partly fixes profiling of IPIs -- all IPI handlers are now
correctly classified as interrupt handlers, but many are still missing
mcount calls.
vm86bios.s is included as before, but it is now between the labels for
interrupt handlers again, which seems to be wrong since half of it is
for a non-interrupt handler.

Kernel profiling for amd64's (normal and high resolution) should now
compile and work as (un)well as on i386's. It works better than user
profiling because:
- it uses _cyg_profile_func_*() instead of .mcount(), so it doesn't suffer
from gcc misspelling .mcount as mcount.
- it doesn't neglect saving %rax in .mcount().
The SMP case hasn't been tested. The high resolution subcase of this uses
the i8254, and as on i386's, the locking for this is deficient and the
i8254 is too inefficient. The acpi timer is also too inefficient.
