This is the foundational change for the routing subsytem rearchitecture. More details and goals are available in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24141 . This patch introduces concept of nexthop objects and new nexthop-based routing KPI. Nexthops are objects, containing all necessary information for performing the packet output decision. Output interface, mtu, flags, gw address goes there. For most of the cases, these objects will serve the same role as the struct rtentry is currently serving. Typically there will be low tens of such objects for the router even with multiple BGP full-views, as these objects will be shared between routing entries. This allows to store more information in the nexthop. New KPI: struct nhop_object *fib4_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst, uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid); struct nhop_object *fib6_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6, uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid); These 2 function are intended to replace all all flavours of <in_|in6_>rtalloc[1]<_ign><_fib>, mpath functions and the previous fib[46]-generation functions. Upon successful lookup, they return nexthop object which is guaranteed to exist within current NET_EPOCH. If longer lifetime is desired, one can specify NHR_REF as a flag and get a referenced version of the nexthop. Reference semantic closely resembles rtentry one, allowing sed-style conversion. Additionally, another 2 functions are introduced to support uRPF functionality inside variety of our firewalls. Their primary goal is to hide the multipath implementation details inside the routing subsystem, greatly simplifying firewalls implementation: int fib4_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst, uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if); int fib6_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6, uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if); All functions have a separate scopeid argument, paving way to eliminating IPv6 scope embedding and allowing to support IPv4 link-locals in the future. Structure changes: * rtentry gets new 'rt_nhop' pointer, slightly growing the overall size. * rib_head gets new 'rnh_preadd' callback pointer, slightly growing overall sz. Old KPI: During the transition state old and new KPI will coexists. As there are another 4-5 decent-sized conversion patches, it will probably take a couple of weeks. To support both KPIs, fields not required by the new KPI (most of rtentry) has to be kept, resulting in the temporary size increase. Once conversion is finished, rtentry will notably shrink.

Note: If you modify these files, please keep hier(7) updated!
These files are used to create empty file hierarchies for building the
system into. Some notes about working with them are placed here to try
and keep them in good working order.
a) The files use 4 space indentation, and other than in the header
comments, should not contain any tabs. An indentation of 4 is
preferable to the standard indentation of 8 because the indentation
of levels in these files can become quite deep causing the line to
overflow 80 characters.
This also matches with the files generated when using the
mtree -c option, which was implemented that way for the same reason.
b) Only directories should be listed here.
c) The listing should be kept in filename sorted order.
d) Sanity checking changes to these files can be done by following
this procedure (the sed -e is ugly, but fixing mtree -c to
not emit the trailing white space would be even uglier):
mkdir /tmp/MTREE
mtree -deU -f BSD.X.dist -p /tmp/MTREE
mtree -cdin -k uname,gname,mode -p /tmp/MTREE | \
sed -e 's/ *$//' >BSD.X.new
diff -u BSD.X.dist BSD.X.new
rm -r /tmp/MTREE
Note that you will get some differences about /set lines,
and uname= gname= on certain directory areas, mainly man page
sections. This is caused by mtree not having a look ahead
mechanism for making better selections for these as it
traverses the hierarchy.
The BSD.X.new file should NOT be committed, as it will be missing
the correct header, and important keywords like ``nochange''.
Simply use the diff for a sanity check to make sure things are in
the correct order and correctly indented.
e) Further sanity checking of the system builds with DESTDIR=/someplace
are more complicated, but can often catch missing entries in these
files. I tend to run this more complete sanity check shortly after
the target date for a new release is announced.
