These are intended for debugging purposes and should not be added to
"generic" kernel configurations since they result in a nontrivial amount
of memory being set aside for this purpose, can break if kernel modules are
unloaded, and can potentially leak a dangerous amount of information about

Note that there is specifically and by design no tunable or sysctl
control over this feature. Without this option, you already have control
over whether the mdroot fs is writeable using vfs.root.mountfrom.options
from loader(8), the root_rw_mount rcvar, and by using "mount -u[rw] /"
or equivelent on the fly. This option is being added to provide a way
to make the mdroot fs truly immutable before userland code begins running.

Currently, bwn(4) relies on the siba_bwn(4) bus driver to provide support
for the on-chip SSB interconnect found in Broadcom's older PCI(e) Wi-Fi
adapters. Non-PCI Wi-Fi adapters, as well as the newer BCMA interconnect
found in post-2009 Broadcom Wi-Fi hardware, are not supported by
siba_bwn(4).
The bhnd(4) bus driver (also used by the FreeBSD/MIPS Broadcom port)
provides a unified kernel interface to a superset of the hardware supported
by siba_bwn; by attaching bwn(4) via bhnd(4), we can support both modern
PCI(e) Wi-Fi devices based on the BCMA backplane interconnect, as well as
Broadcom MIPS WiSoCs that include a D11 MAC core directly attached to their
SSB or BCMA backplane.
This diff introduces opt-in bwn(4) support for bhnd(4) by providing:
- A small bwn(4) driver subclass, if_bwn_bhnd, that attaches via
bhnd(4) instead of siba_bwn(4).
- A bhndb(4)-based PCI host bridge driver, if_bwn_pci, that optionally
probes at a higher priority than the siba_bwn(4) PCI driver.
- A set of compatibility shims that perform translation of bwn(4)'s
siba_bwn function calls into their bhnd(9) API equivalents when bwn(4)
is attached via a bhnd(4) bus parent. When bwn(4) is attached via
siba_bwn(4), all siba_bwn function calls are simply passed through to
their original implementations.
To test bwn(4) with bhnd(4), place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
hw.bwn_pci.preferred="1"
if_bwn_pci_load="YES
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES"
To verify that bwn(4) is using bhnd(4), you can check dmesg:
bwn0: <Broadcom 802.11 MAC/PHY/Radio, rev 15> ... on bhnd0
... or devinfo(8):
pcib2
pci2
bwn_pci0
bhndb0
bhnd0
bwn0
...
bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested for regressions with most chipsets currently
supported by bwn(4), including:
- BCM4312
- BCM4318
- BCM4321
With minimal changes to the DMA code (not included in this commit), I was
also able to test support for newer BCMA devices by bringing up basic
working Wi-Fi on two previously unsupported, BCMA-based N-PHY chipsets:
- BCM43224

Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make

o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by

support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special

should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches

- 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.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
