8f134647ca Switch the entire IPv4 stack to keep the IP packet header
in network byte order. Any host byte order processing is
done in local variables and host byte order values are
never[1] written to a packet.

  After this change a packet processed by the stack isn't
modified at all[2] except for TTL.

  After this change a network stack hacker doesn't need to
scratch his head trying to figure out what is the byte order
at the given place in the stack.

[1] One exception still remains. The raw sockets convert host
byte order before pass a packet to an application. Probably
this would remain for ages for compatibility.

[2] The ip_input() still subtructs header len from ip->ip_len,
but this is planned to be fixed soon.

e76163a539 We don't need to convert ip6_len to host byte order before
ip6_output(), the IPv6 stack is working in net byte order.

The reason this code worked before is that ip6_output()
doesn't look at ip6_plen at all and recalculates it based
on mbuf length.

23e9c6dc1e After r241245 it appeared that in_delayed_cksum(), which still expects
host byte order, was sometimes called with net byte order. Since we are
moving towards net byte order throughout the stack, the function was
converted to expect net byte order, and its consumers fixed appropriately:
  - ip_output(), ipfilter(4) not changed, since already call
    in_delayed_cksum() with header in net byte order.
  - divert(4), ng_nat(4), ipfw_nat(4) now don't need to swap byte order
    there and back.
  - mrouting code and IPv6 ipsec now need to switch byte order there and
    back, but I hope, this is temporary solution.
  - In ipsec(4) shifted switch to net byte order prior to in_delayed_cksum().
  - pf_route() catches up on r241245 changes to ip_output().

52cd27cb58 Implement a CPU-affine TCP and UDP connection lookup data structure,
struct inpcbgroup.  pcbgroups, or "connection groups", supplement the
existing inpcbinfo connection hash table, which when pcbgroups are
enabled, might now be thought of more usefully as a per-protocol
4-tuple reservation table.

Connections are assigned to connection groups base on a hash of their
4-tuple; wildcard sockets require special handling, and are members
of all connection groups.  During a connection lookup, a
per-connection group lock is employed rather than the global pcbinfo
lock.  By aligning connection groups with input path processing,
connection groups take on an effective CPU affinity, especially when
aligned with RSS work placement (see a forthcoming commit for
details).  This eliminates cache line migration associated with
global, protocol-layer data structures in steady state TCP and UDP
processing (with the exception of protocol-layer statistics; further
commit to follow).

Elements of this approach were inspired by Willman, Rixner, and Cox's
2006 USENIX paper, "An Evaluation of Network Stack Parallelization
Strategies in Modern Operating Systems".  However, there are also
significant differences: we maintain the inpcb lock, rather than using
the connection group lock for per-connection state.

Likewise, the focus of this implementation is alignment with NIC
packet distribution strategies such as RSS, rather than pure software
strategies.  Despite that focus, software distribution is supported
through the parallel netisr implementation, and works well in
configurations where the number of hardware threads is greater than
the number of NIC input queues, such as in the RMI XLR threaded MIPS
architecture.

Another important difference is the continued maintenance of existing
hash tables as "reservation tables" -- these are useful both to
distinguish the resource allocation aspect of protocol name management
and the more common-case lookup aspect.  In configurations where
connection tables are aligned with hardware hashes, it is desirable to
use the traditional lookup tables for loopback or encapsulated traffic
rather than take the expense of hardware hashes that are hard to
implement efficiently in software (such as RSS Toeplitz).

Connection group support is enabled by compiling "options PCBGROUP"
into your kernel configuration; for the time being, this is an
experimental feature, and hence is not enabled by default.

Subject to the limited MFCability of change dependencies in inpcb,
and its change to the inpcbinfo init function signature, this change
in principle could be merged to FreeBSD 8.x.

711b3dbd54 IP divert sockets use their inpcbinfo for port reservation, although not
for lookup.  I missed its call to in_pcbbind() when preparing previous
patches, which would lead to a lock assertion failure (although problem
not an actual race condition due to global pcbinfo locks providing
required synchronisation -- in this particular case only).  This change
adds the missing locking of the pcbhash lock.

(Existing comments in the ipdivert code question the need for using the
global hash to manage the namespace, as really it's a simple port
namespace and not an address/port namespace.  Also, although in_pcbbind
is used to manage reservations, the hash tables aren't used for lookup.
It might be a good idea to make them use hashed lookup, or to use a
different reservation scheme.)

fa046d8774 Decompose the current single inpcbinfo lock into two locks:
- The existing ipi_lock continues to protect the global inpcb list and
  inpcb counter.  This lock is now relegated to a small number of
  allocation and free operations, and occasional operations that walk
  all connections (including, awkwardly, certain UDP multicast receive
  operations -- something to revisit).

- A new ipi_hash_lock protects the two inpcbinfo hash tables for
  looking up connections and bound sockets, manipulated using new
  INP_HASH_*() macros.  This lock, combined with inpcb locks, protects
  the 4-tuple address space.

Unlike the current ipi_lock, ipi_hash_lock follows the individual inpcb
connection locks, so may be acquired while manipulating a connection on
which a lock is already held, avoiding the need to acquire the inpcbinfo
lock preemptively when a binding change might later be required.  As a
result, however, lookup operations necessarily go through a reference
acquire while holding the lookup lock, later acquiring an inpcb lock --
if required.

A new function in_pcblookup() looks up connections, and accepts flags
indicating how to return the inpcb.  Due to lock order changes, callers
no longer need acquire locks before performing a lookup: the lookup
routine will acquire the ipi_hash_lock as needed.  In the future, it will
also be able to use alternative lookup and locking strategies
transparently to callers, such as pcbgroup lookup.  New lookup flags are,
supplementing the existing INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD flag:

  INPLOOKUP_RLOCKPCB - Acquire a read lock on the returned inpcb
  INPLOOKUP_WLOCKPCB - Acquire a write lock on the returned inpcb

Callers must pass exactly one of these flags (for the time being).

Some notes:

- All protocols are updated to work within the new regime; especially,
  TCP, UDPv4, and UDPv6.  pcbinfo ipi_lock acquisitions are largely
  eliminated, and global hash lock hold times are dramatically reduced
  compared to previous locking.
- The TCP syncache still relies on the pcbinfo lock, something that we
  may want to revisit.
- Support for reverting to the FreeBSD 7.x locking strategy in TCP input
  is no longer available -- hash lookup locks are now held only very
  briefly during inpcb lookup, rather than for potentially extended
  periods.  However, the pcbinfo ipi_lock will still be acquired if a
  connection state might change such that a connection is added or
  removed.
- Raw IP sockets continue to use the pcbinfo ipi_lock for protection,
  due to maintaining their own hash tables.
- The interface in6_pcblookup_hash_locked() is maintained, which allows
  callers to acquire hash locks and perform one or more lookups atomically
  with 4-tuple allocation: this is required only for TCPv6, as there is no
  in6_pcbconnect_setup(), which there should be.
- UDPv6 locking remains significantly more conservative than UDPv4
  locking, which relates to source address selection.  This needs
  attention, as it likely significantly reduces parallelism in this code
  for multithreaded socket use (such as in BIND).
- In the UDPv4 and UDPv6 multicast cases, we need to revisit locking
  somewhat, as they relied on ipi_lock to stablise 4-tuple matches, which
  is no longer sufficient.  A second check once the inpcb lock is held
  should do the trick, keeping the general case from requiring the inpcb
  lock for every inpcb visited.
- This work reminds us that we need to revisit locking of the v4/v6 flags,
  which may be accessed lock-free both before and after this change.
- Right now, a single lock name is used for the pcbhash lock -- this is
  undesirable, and probably another argument is required to take care of
  this (or a char array name field in the pcbinfo?).

This is not an MFC candidate for 8.x due to its impact on lookup and
locking semantics.  It's possible some of these issues could be worked
around with compatibility wrappers, if necessary.

b2019e1789 Following up on a request from Ermal Luci to make
ip_divert work as a client of pf(4),
make ip_divert not depend on ipfw.

This is achieved by moving to ip_var.h the struct ipfw_rule_ref
(which is part of the mtag for all reinjected packets) and other
declarations of global variables, and moving to raw_ip.c global
variables for filter and divert hooks.

Note that names and locations could be made more generic
(ipfw_rule_ref is really a generic reference robust to reconfigurations;
the packet filter is not necessarily ipfw; filters and their clients
are not necessarily limited to ipv4), but _right now_ most
of this stuff works on ipfw and ipv4, so i don't feel like
doing a gratuitous renaming, at least for the time being.

7173b6e554 Various cleanup done in ipfw3-head branch including:
- use a uniform mtag format for all packets that exit and re-enter
  the firewall in the middle of a rulechain. On reentry, all tags

  processing is simpler.

- make ipfw and dummynet use ip_len and ip_off in network format

  the format in every place.

- use a macro FREE_PKT to dispose of mbufs. This eases portability.

On passing i also removed a few typos, staticise or localise variables,
remove useless declarations and other minor things.

Overall the code shrinks a bit and is hopefully more readable.

2b73aacaf9 Introduce a div_destroy() function which takes over per-vnet cleanup tasks
from the existing modevent / MOD_UNLOAD handler, and register div_destroy()
in protosw as per-vnet .pr_destroy() handler for options VIMAGE builds.  In
nooptions VIMAGE builds, div_destroy() will be invoked from the modevent
handler, resulting in effectively identical operation as it was prior this
change.  div_destroy() also tears down hashtables used by ipdivert, which
were previously left behind on ipdivert kldunloads.

For options VIMAGE builds only, temporarily disable kldunloading of ipdivert,
because without introducing additional locking logic it is impossible to
atomically check whether all ipdivert instances in all vnets are idle, and
proceed with cleanup without opening a race window for a vnet to open an
ipdivert socket while ipdivert tear-down is in progress.

While here, staticize div_init(), because it is not used outside of

315e3e38fa Many network stack subsystems use a single global data structure to hold
all pertinent statatistics for the subsystem.  These structures are
sometimes "borrowed" by kernel modules that require a place to store
statistics for similar events.

Add KPI accessor functions for statistics structures referenced by kernel
modules so that they no longer encode certain specifics of how the data
structures are named and stored.  This change is intended to make it
easier to move to per-CPU network stats following 8.0-RELEASE.

The following modules are affected by this change:

      if_bridge
      if_cxgb
      if_gif
      ip_mroute
      ipdivert
      pf

In practice, most of these statistics consumers should, in fact, maintain
their own statistics data structures rather than borrowing structures
from the base network stack.  However, that change is too agressive for
this point in the release cycle.

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

required to safely acquire references.

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit.  Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

f93bfb23dc Add internal 'mac_policy_count' counter to the MAC Framework, which is a
count of the number of registered policies.

Rather than unconditionally locking sockets before passing them into MAC,
lock them in the MAC entry points only if mac_policy_count is non-zero.

This avoids locking overhead for a number of socket system calls when no
policies are registered, eliminating measurable overhead for the MAC
Framework for the socket subsystem when there are no active policies.

Possibly socket locks should be acquired by policies if they are required
for socket labels, which would further avoid locking overhead when there
are policies but they don't require labeling of sockets, or possibly

d4b5cae49b Reimplement the netisr framework in order to support parallel netisr
threads:

- Support up to one netisr thread per CPU, each processings its own
  workstream, or set of per-protocol queues.  Threads may be bound
  to specific CPUs, or allowed to migrate, based on a global policy.

  In the future it would be desirable to support topology-centric
  policies, such as "one netisr per package".

- Allow each protocol to advertise an ordering policy, which can
  currently be one of:

  NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE: packets must maintain ordering with respect to
    an implicit or explicit source (such as an interface or socket).

  NETISR_POLICY_FLOW: make use of mbuf flow identifiers to place work,
    as well as allowing protocols to provide a flow generation function
    for mbufs without flow identifers (m2flow).  Falls back on
    NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE if now flow ID is available.

  NETISR_POLICY_CPU: allow protocols to inspect and assign a CPU for
    each packet handled by netisr (m2cpuid).

- Provide utility functions for querying the number of workstreams
  being used, as well as a mapping function from workstream to CPU ID,
  which protocols may use in work placement decisions.

- Add explicit interfaces to get and set per-protocol queue limits, and
  get and clear drop counters, which query data or apply changes across
  all workstreams.

- Add a more extensible netisr registration interface, in which
  protocols declare 'struct netisr_handler' structures for each
  registered NETISR_ type.  These include name, handler function,
  optional mbuf to flow ID function, optional mbuf to CPU ID function,
  queue limit, and ordering policy.  Padding is present to allow these
  to be expanded in the future.  If no queue limit is declared, then
  a default is used.

- Queue limits are now per-workstream, and raised from the previous
  IFQ_MAXLEN default of 50 to 256.

- All protocols are updated to use the new registration interface, and
  with the exception of netnatm, default queue limits.  Most protocols
  register as NETISR_POLICY_SOURCE, except IPv4 and IPv6, which use
  NETISR_POLICY_FLOW, and will therefore take advantage of driver-
  generated flow IDs if present.

- Formalize a non-packet based interface between interface polling and
  the netisr, rather than having polling pretend to be two protocols.
  Provide two explicit hooks in the netisr worker for start and end
  events for runs: netisr_poll() and netisr_pollmore(), as well as a
  function, netisr_sched_poll(), to allow the polling code to schedule
  netisr execution.  DEVICE_POLLING still embeds single-netisr
  assumptions in its implementation, so for now if it is compiled into
  the kernel, a single and un-bound netisr thread is enforced
  regardless of tunable configuration.

In the default configuration, the new netisr implementation maintains
the same basic assumptions as the previous implementation: a single,
un-bound worker thread processes all deferred work, and direct dispatch
is enabled by default wherever possible.

Performance measurement shows a marginal performance improvement over
the old implementation due to the use of batched dequeue.

An rmlock is used to synchronize use and registration/unregistration
using the framework; currently, synchronized use is disabled
(replicating current netisr policy) due to a measurable 3%-6% hit in
ping-pong micro-benchmarking.  It will be enabled once further rmlock
optimization has taken place.  However, in practice, netisrs are
rarely registered or unregistered at runtime.

A new man page for netisr will follow, but since one doesn't currently
exist, it hasn't been updated.

This change is not appropriate for MFC, although the polling shutdown
handler should be merged to 7-STABLE.

Bump __FreeBSD_version.

f6dfe47a14 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod.  SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

2f4afd2125 Adds support for SCTP checksum offload. This means
we, like TCP and UDP, move the checksum calculation
into the IP routines when there is no hardware support
we call into the normal SCTP checksum routine.

The next round of SCTP updates will use
this functionality. Of course the IGB driver needs
a few updates to support the new intel controller set
that actually does SCTP csum offload too.

385195c062 Conditionally compile out V_ globals while instantiating the appropriate
container structures, depending on VIMAGE_GLOBALS compile time option.

Make VIMAGE_GLOBALS a new compile-time option, which by default will not
be defined, resulting in instatiations of global variables selected for
V_irtualization (enclosed in #ifdef VIMAGE_GLOBALS blocks) to be
effectively compiled out.  Instantiate new global container structures
to hold V_irtualized variables: vnet_net_0, vnet_inet_0, vnet_inet6_0,
vnet_ipsec_0, vnet_netgraph_0, and vnet_gif_0.

Update the VSYM() macro so that depending on VIMAGE_GLOBALS the V_
macros resolve either to the original globals, or to fields inside
container structures, i.e. effectively

#ifdef VIMAGE_GLOBALS
#define V_rt_tables rt_tables
#else
#define V_rt_tables vnet_net_0._rt_tables
#endif

Update SYSCTL_V_*() macros to operate either on globals or on fields
inside container structs.

Extend the internal kldsym() lookups with the ability to resolve
selected fields inside the virtualization container structs.  This
applies only to the fields which are explicitly registered for kldsym()
visibility via VNET_MOD_DECLARE() and vnet_mod_register(), currently
this is done only in sys/net/if.c.

Fix a few broken instances of MODULE_GLOBAL() macro use in SCTP code,
and modify the MODULE_GLOBAL() macro to resolve to V_ macros, which in
turn result in proper code being generated depending on VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

De-virtualize local static variables in sys/contrib/pf/net/pf_subr.c
which were prematurely V_irtualized by automated V_ prepending scripts
during earlier merging steps.  PF virtualization will be done
separately, most probably after next PF import.

Convert a few variable initializations at instantiation to
initialization in init functions, most notably in ipfw.  Also convert
TUNABLE_INT() initializers for V_ variables to TUNABLE_FETCH_INT() in
initializer functions.

4b79449e2f Rather than using hidden includes (with cicular dependencies),
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

44e33a0758 Change the initialization methodology for global variables scheduled
for virtualization.

Instead of initializing the affected global variables at instatiation,
assign initial values to them in initializer functions.  As a rule,
initialization at instatiation for such variables should never be
introduced again from now on.  Furthermore, enclose all instantiations
of such global variables in #ifdef VIMAGE_GLOBALS blocks.

Essentialy, this change should have zero functional impact.  In the next
phase of merging network stack virtualization infrastructure from
p4/vimage branch, the new initialization methology will allow us to
switch between using global variables and their counterparts residing in
virtualization containers with minimum code churn, and in the long run
allow us to intialize multiple instances of such container structures.

from the vimage project, as per plan established at devsummit 08/08:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Image/Notes200808DevSummit

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.

Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().

Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).

All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).
