of a lookup_wildcard arg; simplifies the logic a bit.
* when assigning ephemeral ports in in_pcbbind(), always call
in_pcblookup_port() with lookup_wildcard=1, so that ephemeral port
allocation on sockets with SO_REUSEADDR set won't potentially bind to a
port in use by something else (principle of least surprise).
syn_cache_unreach() should remove the entry, or just continue on.
Algorithm is to only remove the entry if we've had more than one unreach
error and have retransmitted 3 or more times. This prevents the following
scenario, as noted in PR #5909 (PR from Ty Sarna, scenario from
Charles Hannum):
* Host A sends a SYN.
* Host A retransmits the SYN.
* Host B gets the first SYN and sends a SYN-ACK.
* Host B gets the second SYN and sends a SYN-ACK.
* One of the SYN-ACK bounces with an
ICMP unreachable, causing the `SYN cache' entry to be
removed with no notification.
* Host A receives the other SYN-ACK, sends an ACK, and goes to
ESTABLISHED state.
Should fix PR #5909.

(1.44) missed a test for the right interface, making some machines answer
to some bogus arp requests (like for WHO-HAS 127.0.0.1).
The quick patch in 1.46-1.47 does not work for so-called "unnumbered"
interfaces, that is, (point-to-point) interfaces that share their local
address with another (e.g., the Ethernet) interface.
We add a macro to in_var.h, to step (in the current implementation) through
the hash chain and fine more entries with the same address, and use that
in if_arp.c to find one which belongs to our interface.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
- Don't use home-grown queue manipulation. Use <sys/queue.h> instead. The
data structures are a little larger, but we are otherwise wasting the
memory chunk anyway (we're already a 64-byte malloc bucket).
- Fix a bug in the cache-is-full case: if the oldest element removed from
the first non-empty bucket was the only element in the bucket, the
bucket wouldn't be removed from the bucket cache, causing queue corruption
later.
- Optimize the syn cache timers by using PRT timers rather than home-grown
decrement-and-propagate timers.

CWM eliminates line-rate bursts after idle periods by counting pending
(unacknowledged) packets and limiting the congestion window to the
initial congestion window plus the pending packet count. This has the
effect of allowing us to use the window as long as we continue to transmit,
but as soon as we stop transmitting, we go back to a slow-start (also known
as `use it or lose it').
This is not enabled by default. You can enable this behavior by patching
the "tcp_cwm" global (set it to non-zero) or by building a kernel with the
TCP_CWM option.
to ACK immediately any packet that arrived with PSH set. This breaks
delayed ACKs in a few specific common cases that delayed ACKs were
supposed to help, and ends up not making much (if any) difference in
the case where where this ACK-on-PSH change was supposed to help.

RTO estimation changes. Under some circumstances it would return a value
of 0, while the old Van Jacobson RTO code would return a minimum of 3.
This would result in 12 retransmissions, each 1 second apart.

* initialise inpt_lastlow in in_pcbinit
* IP_PORTRANGE socket option, which controls how the ephemeral ports
are allocated. it takes the following settings:
IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT use anonportmin (49152) -> anonportmax (65535)
IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH as IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT (retained for FreeBSD
compat reasons, where these are separate)
IP_PORTRANGE_LOW use 600 -> 1023. only works if uid==0.
* in_pcb flag INP_ANONPORT. set if port was allocated ephmerally
* support sysctl net.inet.ip.anonportmin (lowest ephemeral port)
and net.inet.ip.anonportmax (highest ephemeral port).
these can't be set to >65535, < IPPORT_RESERVED (unless IPNOPRIVPORTS
is defined), and anonportmin has to be < anonportmax.
* use a cleaner way of only cycling through the available set once;
this will be useful for when a random allocation scheme is used
* define IPPORT_ANON{MIN,MAX} instead of IPPORT_USER{LOW,HIGH}
so_linger is used as an argument to tsleep(), so was stuffed with
clockticks for the TCP linger time. However, so_linger is set directly from
l_linger if the linger time is specified, and l_linger is seconds (although
this is not currently documented anywhere). Fix this to set the TCP
linger time in seconds, and multiply so_linger by hz when tsleep() is
called to actually perform the linger.

From Stevens:

The sysctl'able variable "tcp_init_win", when set to 0, selects an
auto-tuning algorithm for selecting the initial window, based on transmit

Default initial window is still 1 segment, but will soon become 2 segments,

we'll just attempt to remove a non-existent compressed state entry and
then drop the packet anyway.

Basically, in silly window avoidance, don't use the raw MSS we advertised
to the peer. What we really want here is the _expected_ size of received
segments, so we need to account for the path MTU (eventually; right now,
the interface MTU for "local" addresses and loopback or tcp_mssdflt for
non-local addresses). Without this, silly window avoidance would never
kick in if we advertised a very large (e.g. ~64k) MSS to the peer.
- Don't overload t_maxseg. Previous behavior was to set it to the min
of the peer's advertised MSS, our advertised MSS, and tcp_mssdflt
(for non-local networks). This breaks PMTU discovery running on
either host. Instead, remember the MSS we advertise, and use it
as appropriate (in silly window avoidance).
- Per last bullet, split tcp_mss() into several functions for handling
MSS (ours and peer's), and performing various tasks when a connection
becomes ESTABLISHED.
- Introduce a new function, tcp_segsize(), which computes the max size
for every segment transmitted in tcp_output(). This will eventually
be used to hook in PMTU discovery.
