# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 214136 21-Oct-2010 pluknet

Reshuffle SIOCGIFCONF32 handler from r155224.

- move all the chunks into one file, which allows to hide SIOCGIFCONF32
global definition as well.
- replace __amd64__ with proper COMPAT_FREEBSD32 around.
- handle 32bit capacity before going into the handler itself instead of
doing internal 32bit specific changes within it (e.g. as it's done for
SIOCGDEFIFACE32_IN6).
- use explicitely sized types for ABI compat.

Approved by: re (kib), bz (mentor)


# 194251 15-Jun-2009 jamie

Manage vnets via the jail system. If a jail is given the boolean
parameter "vnet" when it is created, a new vnet instance will be created
along with the jail. Networks interfaces can be moved between prisons
with an ioctl similar to the one that moves them between vimages.
For now vnets will co-exist under both jails and vimages, but soon
struct vimage will be going away.

# 193166 31-May-2009 zec

Introduce an interm userland-kernel API for creating vnets and
assigning ifnets from one vnet to another. Deletion of vnets is not
yet supported.

The interface is implemented as an ioctl extension so that no syscalls
had to be introduced. This should be acceptable given that the new
interface will be used for a short / interim period only, until the
new jail management framwork gains the capability of managing vnets.
This method for managing vimages / vnets has been in use for the past
7 years without any observable issues.

The userland tool to be used in conjunction with the interim API can be
found in p4: //depot/projects/vimage-commit2/src/usr.sbin/vimage/... and
will most probably never get commited to svn.

While here, bump copyright notices in kern_vimage.c and vimage.h to
cover work done in year 2009.

Approved by: core


# 125411 04-Feb-2004 brooks

Add the kernel side of network interface renaming support.

The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
on the routing socket.

As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
if_xname directly. if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.

This work was based on kame-20010528-freebsd43-snap.tgz and some
critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.

TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should
be removed under 5-CURRENT.

# 61734 16-Jun-2000 wpaul

Implement SIOCSIFLLADDR, which allows you to change the link-level
address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:

socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command

You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).

Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

# 48021 19-Jun-1999 phk

Add a new interface ioctl, to return "aux status".

This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.

The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.

Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c

Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.

Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables


# 30198 07-Oct-1997 joerg

Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).

The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

Removed SIOCSETRTINFO, SIOCGETRTINFO, and SIOCGETVIFINF ioctl's, which
snuck in accidentally from the DARTNet kernel. SIOC*RTINFO were an
extended interface to the stock routing table and SIOCGETVIFINF was
an interface for rsvpd to ask the kernel for the list of multicast vif's.

# 5184 21-Dec-1994 wollman

Add generic part of generic multiple-physical-interface support (the

# 2531 06-Sep-1994 wollman

Initial get-the-easy-case-working upgrade of the multicast code
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):

- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.

What still needs to be done:

- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.

Some notes about the porting process:

In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.

I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
