Andre Oppermann b3c0f300fb Second step of TSO (TCP segmentation offload) support in our network stack.
TSO is only used if we are in a pure bulk sending state.  The presence of
TCP-MD5, SACK retransmits, SACK advertizements, IPSEC and IP options prevent
using TSO.  With TSO the TCP header is the same (except for the sequence number)
for all generated packets.  This makes it impossible to transmit any options
which vary per generated segment or packet.

The length of TSO bursts is limited to TCP_MAXWIN.

The sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso globally controls the use of TSO and is enabled.

TSO enabled sends originating from tcp_output() have the CSUM_TCP and CSUM_TSO
flags set, m_pkthdr.csum_data filled with the header pseudo-checksum and
m_pkthdr.tso_segsz set to the segment size (net payload size, not counting
IP+TCP headers or TCP options).

IPv6 currently lacks a pseudo-header checksum function and thus doesn't support
TSO yet.

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 ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

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/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/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.
