luigi 5259888148 Remove (almost all) global variables that were used to hold
packet forwarding state ("annotations") during ip processing.
The code is considerably cleaner now.

The variables removed by this change are:

        ip_divert_cookie        used by divert sockets
        ip_fw_fwd_addr          used for transparent ip redirection
        last_pkt                used by dynamic pipes in dummynet

Removal of the first two has been done by carrying the annotations
into volatile structs prepended to the mbuf chains, and adding
appropriate code to add/remove annotations in the routines which
make use of them, i.e. ip_input(), ip_output(), tcp_input(),
bdg_forward(), ether_demux(), ether_output_frame(), div_output().

On passing, remove a bug in divert handling of fragmented packet.
Now it is the fragment at offset 0 which sets the divert status of
the whole packet, whereas formerly it was the last incoming fragment
to decide.

Removal of last_pkt required a change in the interface of ip_fw_chk()
and dummynet_io(). On passing, use the same mechanism for dummynet
annotations and for divert/forward annotations.

option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is effectively useless, the code to
implement it is very small and is now in by default to avoid the
obfuscation of conditionally compiled code.

NOTES:
 * there is at least one global variable left, sro_fwd, in ip_output().
   I am not sure if/how this can be removed.

 * I have deliberately avoided gratuitous style changes in this commit
   to avoid cluttering the diffs. Minor stule cleanup will likely be
   necessary

 * this commit only focused on the IP layer. I am sure there is a
   number of global variables used in the TCP and maybe UDP stack.

 * despite the number of files touched, there are absolutely no API's
   or data structures changed by this commit (except the interfaces of
   ip_fw_chk() and dummynet_io(), which are internal anyways), so
   an MFC is quite safe and unintrusive (and desirable, given the
   improved readability of the code).

UPDATING

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
