Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
"inpcb", and this struct inpcb* and struct inp6cb* are the same type.
On NetBSD they are different types, so we must change the types of
formal argument in IPv6-specific functions from "struct inpcb *" to
"struct in6pcb*".
The code didn't compile on NetBSD beforehand, if both FAST_IPSEC + INET6
were configured. This fix will cause even more short-term breakage for
that case, but its a step in the right direction: it shows up what
still needs to be fixed.
due to demonstrated low-period repeated IDs from the randomized IP_id
code. Consensus is that the low-period repetition (much less than
2^15) is not suitable for general-purpose use.
Allocators of new IPv4 IDs should now call the function ip_newid().
Randomized IP_ids is now a config-time option, "options RANDOM_IP_ID".
ip_newid() can use ip_random-id()_IP_ID if and only if configured
with RANDOM_IP_ID. A sysctl knob should be provided.
This API may be reworked in the near future to support linear ip_id
counters per (src,dst) IP-address pair.
in_ifaddrhead. Recent changes in struct names caused a namespace
collision in fast-ipsec, which are most cleanly fixed by using
"in_ifaddrhead" as the listhead name.
repository by christos was part 1). netipsec should now be back as it
was on 2003-09-11, with some very minor changes:
1) Some residual platform-dependent code was moved from ipsec.h to
ipsec_osdep.h; without this, IPSEC_ASSERT() was multiply defined. ipsec.h
now includes ipsec_osdep.h
2) itojun's renaming of netipsec/files.ipsec to netipsec/files.netipsec has
been left in place (it's arguable which name is less confusing but the
rename is pretty harmless).
3) Some #endif TOKEN has been replaced by #endif /* TOKEN */; #endif TOKEN
is invalid and GCC 3 won't compile it.
An i386 kernel with "options FAST_IPSEC" and "options OPENCRYPTO" now
gets through "make depend" but fails to build with errors in ip_input.c.
But it's better than it was (thank heaven for small favors).
is assumed to be in host byteorder during the input(?) path. NetBSD
keeps ip_off and ip_len in network order. Add (or remove) byteswaps
accordingly. TCP over fast_ipsec now works with PMTU, as well as without.
configured with ``options FAST_IPSEC''. Kernels with KAME IPsec or
with no IPsec should work as before.
All calls to ip_output() now always pass an additional compulsory
argument: the inpcb associated with the packet being sent,
or 0 if no inpcb is available.
Fast-ipsec tested with ICMP or UDP over ESP. TCP doesn't work, yet.
Fast-IPsec is a rework of the OpenBSD and KAME IPsec code, using the
OpenCryptoFramework (and thus hardware crypto accelerators) and
numerous detailed performance improvements.
This import is (aside from SPL-level names) the FreeBSD source,
imported ``as-is'' as a historical snapshot, for future maintenance
and comparison against the FreeBSD source. For now, several minor
kernel-API differences are hidden by macros a shim file, ipsec_osdep.h,
which (aside from SPL names) can be targeted at either NetBSD or FreeBSD.
to simplify changes elsehere.
Add dependency on new file netipec/ipsec_netbsd.c, for some NetBSD-specific
required functionality (e.g., differences in ctl-input keydb handling).
code is derived from Sam Leffler's FreeBSD port of OCF, which is in
turn a port of Angelos Keromytis's OpenBSD work.
Credit to Sam and Angelos, any blame for the NetBSD port to me.
