# 250251 04-May-2013 hrs

Use FF02:0:0:0:0:2:FF00::/104 prefix for IPv6 Node Information Group
Address. Although KAME implementation used FF02:0:0:0:0:2::/96 based on
older versions of draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookup, it has been changed
in RFC 4620.

The kernel always joins the /104-prefixed address, and additionally does
/96-prefixed one only when net.inet6.icmp6.nodeinfo_oldmcprefix=1.
The default value of the sysctl is 1.

ping6(8) -N flag now uses /104-prefixed one. When this flag is specified
twice, it uses /96-prefixed one instead.

Correct typo in the RFC number for the constants based on IANA assignments

# 222732 06-Jun-2011 hrs

- Implement RDNSS and DNSSL options (RFC 6106, IPv6 Router Advertisement
Options for DNS Configuration) into rtadvd(8) and rtsold(8). DNS
information received by rtsold(8) will go to resolv.conf(5) by
resolvconf(8) script. This is based on work by J.R. Oldroyd (kern/156259)
but revised extensively[1].

- rtadvd(8) now supports "noifprefix" to disable gathering on-link prefixes
from interfaces when no "addr" is specified[2]. An entry in rtadvd.conf
with "noifprefix" + no "addr" generates an RA message with no prefix
information option.

- rtadvd(8) now supports RTM_IFANNOUNCE message to fix crashes when an
interface is added or removed.

- Correct bogus ND_OPT_ROUTE_INFO value to one in RFC 4191.

"Whitspace" churn after the VIMAGE/VNET whirls.

Remove the need for some "init" functions within the network
stack, like pim6_init(), icmp_init() or significantly shorten
others like ip6_init() and nd6_init(), using static initialization
again where possible and formerly missed.

Move (most) variables back to the place they used to be before the
container structs and VIMAGE_GLOABLS (before r185088) and try to
reduce the diff to stable/7 and earlier as good as possible,
to help out-of-tree consumers to update from 6.x or 7.x to 8 or 9.

This also removes some header file pollution for putatively
static global variables.

Revert VIMAGE specific changes in ipfilter::ip_auth.c, that are
no longer needed.

# 196039 02-Aug-2009 rwatson

Many network stack subsystems use a single global data structure to hold
all pertinent statatistics for the subsystem. These structures are
sometimes "borrowed" by kernel modules that require a place to store
statistics for similar events.

Add KPI accessor functions for statistics structures referenced by kernel
modules so that they no longer encode certain specifics of how the data
structures are named and stored. This change is intended to make it
easier to move to per-CPU network stats following 8.0-RELEASE.

The following modules are affected by this change:

if_bridge
if_cxgb
if_gif
ip_mroute
ipdivert
pf

In practice, most of these statistics consumers should, in fact, maintain
their own statistics data structures rather than borrowing structures
from the base network stack. However, that change is too agressive for
this point in the release cycle.

# 195699 14-Jul-2009 rwatson

Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

# 190964 12-Apr-2009 rwatson

Update stats in struct icmpstat and icmp6stat using four new
macros: ICMPSTAT_ADD(), ICMPSTAT_INC(), ICMP6STAT_ADD(), and
ICMP6STAT_INC(), rather than directly manipulating the fields
of these structures across the kernel. This will make it
easier to change the implementation of these statistics,
such as using per-CPU versions of the data structures.

In on case, icmp6stat members are manipulated indirectly, by
icmp6_errcount(), and this will require further work to fix
for per-CPU stats.

Second round of putting global variables, which were virtualized

- Also cleaned up the code so that the semantics of the icmp6_nodeinfo

scope cleanup. with this change
- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.

# 57120 10-Feb-2000 shin

Forbid include of soem inet6 header files from wrong place

KAME put INET6 related stuff into sys/netinet6 dir, but IPv6
standard API(RFC2553) require following files to be under sys/netinet.
netinet/ip6.h
netinet/icmp6.h
Now those header files just include each following files.
netinet6/ip6.h
netinet6/icmp6.h

Also KAME has netinet6/in6.h for easy INET6 common defs
sharing between different BSDs, but RFC2553 requires only
netinet/in.h should be included from userland.
So netinet/in.h also includes netinet6/in6.h inside.

To keep apps portability, apps should not directly include
above files from netinet6 dir.
Ideally, all contents of,
netinet6/ip6.h
netinet6/icmp6.h
netinet6/in6.h
should be moved into
netinet/ip6.h
netinet/icmp6.h
netinet/in.h
but to avoid big changes in this stage, add some hack, that
-Put some special macro define into those files under neitnet
-Let files under netinet6 cause error if it is included
from some apps, and, if the specifal macro define is not
defined.
(which should have been defined if files under netinet is
included)
-And let them print an error message which tells the
correct name of the include file to be included.

Also fix apps which includes invalid header files.
