# 251787 15-Jun-2013 lstewart

Move hhook's per-vnet initialisation to an earlier SYSINIT SI_SUB stage to
ensure all per-vnet related hhook initialisation is completed prior to any
virtualised hhook points attempting registration.

vnet_register_sysinit() requires that a stage later than SI_SUB_VNET be chosen.
There are no per-vnet initialisors in the source tree at this time which run
earlier than SI_SUB_INIT_IF. A quick audit of non-virtualised SYSINITs indicates
there are no subsystems pre SI_SUB_MBUF that would likely be interested in
registering a virtualised hhook point.

Settle on SI_SUB_MBUF as hhook's per-vnet initialisation stage as it's the first
overtly network-related initilisation stage to run after SI_SUB_VNET. If a
subsystem that initialises earlier than SI_SUB_MBUF ends up wanting to register
virtualised hhook points in future, hhook's use of SI_SUB_MBUF will need to be
revisited and would probably warrant creating a dedicated SI_SUB_HHOOK which
runs immediately after SI_SUB_VNET.

# 251774 15-Jun-2013 lstewart

Add a private KPI between hhook and khelp that allows khelp modules to insert
hook functions into hhook points which register after the modules were loaded -
potentially useful during boot or if hhook points are dynamically registered.

MFC after: 1 week


# 251770 15-Jun-2013 lstewart

Internalise handling of virtualised hook points inside
hhook_{add|remove}_hook_lookup() so that khelp (and other potential API
consumers) do not have to care when they attempt to (un)hook a particular hook
point identified by id and type.

# 251752 14-Jun-2013 lstewart

Fix a major oversight in r251732 which causes non-VIMAGE kernels to trigger a
KASSERT during TCP hhook registration at boot. Virtualised hook points only
require extra housekeeping and sanity checking when "options VIMAGE" is present.

# 251732 14-Jun-2013 lstewart

Add support for non-virtualised hhook points, which are uniquely identified by
type and id, as compared to virtualised hook points which are now uniquely
identified by type, id and a vid (which for vimage is the pointer to the vnet
that the hhook resides in).

All hhook_head structs for both virtualised and non-virtualised hook points
coexist in hhook_head_list, and a separate list is maintained for hhook points
within each vnet to simplify some vimage-related housekeeping.

# 251725 14-Jun-2013 lstewart

Fix a potential NULL-pointer dereference that would trigger if the hhook
registration site did not provide storage for a copy of the hhook_head struct.

# 216615 21-Dec-2010 lstewart

- Introduce the Hhook (Helper Hook) KPI. The KPI is closely modelled on pfil(9),
and in many respects can be thought of as a more generic superset of pfil.
Hhook provides a way for kernel subsystems to export hook points that Khelp
modules can hook to provide enhanced or new functionality to the kernel. The
KPI has been designed to ensure hook points pose no noticeable overhead when
no hook functions are registered.

- Introduce the Khelp (Kernel Helpers) KPI. Khelp provides a framework for
managing Khelp modules, which indirectly use the Hhook KPI to register their
hook functions with hook points of interest within the kernel. Khelp modules
aim to provide a structured way to dynamically extend the kernel at runtime in
an ABI preserving manner. Depending on the subsystem providing hook points, a
Khelp module may be able to associate per-object data for maintaining relevant
state between hook calls.

- pjd's Object Specific Data (OSD) KPI is used to manage the per-object data
allocated to Khelp modules. Create a new "OSD_KHELP" OSD type for use by the
Khelp framework.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900028 to mark the introduction of the new KPIs.
