Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining
PCCARD_API_LEVEL 5 before including pccarddevs for driver writers that
want/need to have the same driver on 5 and 6 with pccard attachments.
Approved by: re (dwhite)
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

This does not change the queueing yet. These changes will follow in a

there's not dependencies on pccard symboles, such a dependency is not
necessary. This means that drivers that have multiple attachments can
not drag bogus devices into the kernel at load time.
We can't (yet) do this with pci and isa. Drivers written for them
actually do seem to have symbols that depend on these busses'
implementation code.

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a "copy" operation. This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain. This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.
These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block. This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.
Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them. We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.
Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
