Changelist:
- Move large parts of VALE code to a new file and header netmap_bdg.[ch].
This is useful to reuse the code within upcoming projects.
- Improvements and bug fixes to pipes and monitors.
- Introduce nm_os_onattach(), nm_os_onenter() and nm_os_onexit() to
handle differences between FreeBSD and Linux.
- Introduce some new helper functions to handle more host rings and fake
rings (netmap_all_rings(), netmap_real_rings(), ...)
- Added new sysctl to enable/disable hw checksum in emulated netmap mode.
- nm_inject: add support for NS_MOREFRAG

The libkqueue tests have several places that leak memory by using an
idiom like:
puts(kevent_to_str(kevp));
Rework to save the pointer returned from kevent_to_str() and then
free() it after it has been used.

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

The change upgrades the driver to use the split Communication Status
Block (CSB) format. In this way the variables written by the guest
and read by the host are allocated in a different cacheline than
the variables written by the host and read by the guest; this is
needed to avoid cache thrashing.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

PR: 225197
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.
All of these arguments are stored in m_ext, so there is no reason
to pass them in the argument list. Not all functions need the second
argument, some don't even need the first one. The second argument
lives in next cache line, so not dereferencing it is a performance
gain. This was discovered in sendfile(2), which will be covered by
next commits.
The second goal of this commit is to bring even more flexibility
to m_ext mbufs, allowing to create more fields in m_ext, opaque to
the generic mbuf code, and potentially set and dereferenced by
subsystems.

The generic support in netmap send the packets using if_transmit() and the
loopback do not support packets coming from if_transmit()/if_start().
This avoids the use of the loopback interface and the subsequent crash that
happens when the application send packets to the loopback interface.

* Firmware oriented NICs may need to sleep in their configuration paths.
Use RLOCK instead of WLOCK to allow this to again occur.
This fixes netmap on cxgbe.
* Change the worker lock to a normal mutex rather than a spin lock.
Drivers shouldn't be doing netmap work from the fast interrupt
handlers, so it's not required to be a spinlock.

- use PCI_VENDOR and PCI_DEVICE ids from a publicly allocated range
(thanks to RedHat)
- export memory pool information through PCI registers
- improve mechanism for configuring passthrough on different hypervisors
Code is from Vincenzo Maffione as a follow up to his GSOC work.
fix build on 32 bit platforms
simplify logic in netmap_virt.h
The commands (in net/netmap.h) to configure communication with the
hypervisor may be revised soon.
At the moment they are unused so this will not be a change of API.
This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years
from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including:
+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code
+ various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX
parameters, and private and public variables)
We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally
equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.
netmap_kern.h currently requires all drivers including it to include
selinfo.h.

Several files use the internal name of `struct device` instead of
`device_t` which is part of the public API. This patch changes all
`struct device *` to `device_t`.
The remaining occurrences of `struct device` are those referring to the
Linux or OpenBSD version of the structure, or the code is not built on
FreeBSD and it's unclear what to do.

m_unshare passes on the source mbuf's flags as-is to m_getcl and this
results in a leak if the flags include M_NOFREE. The fix is to clear
the bits not listed in M_COPYALL before calling m_getcl. M_RDONLY
should probably be filtered out too but that's outside the scope of this
fix.
Add assertions in the zone_mbuf and zone_pack ctors to catch similar
bugs.
Update netmap_get_mbuf to not pass M_NOFREE to m_getcl. It's not clear
what the original code was trying to do but it's likely incorrect.
Updated code is no different functionally but it avoids the newly added
assertions.
