optimization made last year. should solve PR 17867 and 10195.
IP_HDRINCL behavior of raw ip socket is kept unchanged. we may want to
provide IP_HDRINCL variant that does not swap endian.
as necessary:
* Implement a new mbuf utility routine, m_copyup(), is is like
m_pullup(), except that it always prepends and copies, rather
than only doing so if the desired length is larger than m->m_len.
m_copyup() also allows an offset into the destination mbuf, which
allows space for packet headers, in the forwarding case.
* Add *_HDR_ALIGNED_P() macros for IP, IPv6, ICMP, and IGMP. These
macros expand to 1 if __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT is defined, so that
architectures which do not have strict alignment constraints don't
pay for the test or visit the new align-if-needed path.
* Use the new macros to check if a header needs to be aligned, or to
assert that it already is, as appropriate.
Note: This code is still somewhat experimental. However, the new
code path won't be visited if individual device drivers continue
to guarantee that packets are delivered to layer 3 already properly
aligned (which are rules that are already in use).
as discussed in tech-net several weeks ago. It turned out that
KAME had already added this functionality to the IPv6 stack, so
I followed their example in adding the sysctl variables
net.inet.icmp.rediraccept and net.inet.icmp.redirtimeout.
- let ipfilter look at wire-format packet only (not the decapsulated ones),
so that VPN setting can work with NAT/ipfilter settings.

TODO: use header history for stricter inbound validation
entering rtentry's for hosts we're not actually communicating
with.
Do this by invoking the ctlinput for the protocol, which is
responsible for validating the ICMP message:
* TCP -- Lookup the connection based on the address/port
pairs in the ICMP message.
* AH/ESP -- Lookup the SA based on the SPI in the ICMP message.
If validation succeeds, ctlinput is responsible for calling
icmp_mtudisc(). icmp_mtudisc() then invokes callbacks registered
by protocols (such as TCP) which want to take some sort of special
action when a path's MTU changes. For TCP, this is where we now
refresh cached routes and re-enter slow-start.
As a side-effect, this fixes the problem where TCP would not be
notified when a path's MTU changed if AH/ESP were being used.
XXX Note, this is only a fix for the IPv4 case. For the IPv6
XXX case, we need to wait for the KAME folks.

- allow it to work when icmpreturndatabytes is sufficiently large that the
icmp error message doesn't fit in a header mbuf.
- defend against mbuf chains shorter than their contained ip->ip_len.
correct timestamp option validation (len and ptr upper/lower bound
based on RFC791).
fill "pointer" field for parameter problem in timestamp option processing.
between protocol handlers.
ipsec socket pointers, ipsec decryption/auth information, tunnel
decapsulation information are in my mind - there can be several other usage.
at this moment, we use this for ipsec socket pointer passing. this will
avoid reuse of m->m_pkthdr.rcvif in ipsec code.
due to the change, MHLEN will be decreased by sizeof(void *) - for example,
for i386, MHLEN was 100 bytes, but is now 96 bytes.
we may want to increase MSIZE from 128 to 256 for some of our architectures.
take caution if you use it for keeping some data item for long period
of time - use extra caution on M_PREPEND() or m_adj(), as they may result
in loss of m->m_pkthdr.aux pointer (and mbuf leak).
this will bump kernel version.
(as discussed in tech-net, tested in kame tree)
pfil information, instead, struct protosw now contains a structure
which caontains list heads, etc. The per-protosw pfil struct is passed
to pfil_hook_get(), along with an in/out flag to get the head of the
relevant filter list. This has been done for only IPv4 and IPv6, at
present, with these patches only enabling filtering for IPPROTO_IP and
IPPROTO_IPV6, although it is possible to have tcp/udp, etc, dedicated
filters now also. The ipfilter code has been updated to only filter
IPv4 packets - next major release of ipfilter is required for ipv6.
Note, we're reusing the previously unused slot for "MTU discovery" (which
was moved to the "net.inet.ip" branch of the sysctl tree quite some time
ago).
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
