ifconfig: remove global 'name' variable.

Consistenly use newly-added 'ctx->ifname' as the name of the current
target interface.

ifconfig: introduce `ifconfig_context` to store current global state.

The structure consists of all current context - arguments,
open sockets, current family and so on.

Pass this structure as a first argument to most of the af_ menthods.
This allows to propagate and update shared data without using
global variables.

The diff is pretty large, but de-facto mechanical. All changes
except the structure setup in ifconfig[_netlink].c are one-line
mechanical changes.

various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.


# c8711749 15-May-2016 Don Lewis <truckman@FreeBSD.org>

Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() when copying ifname to ensure
that it is NUL terminated. Additional NUL padding is not required
for short names.

Use sizeof(destination) in a few places instead of IFNAMSIZ.

Cast afp->af_ridreq and afp->af_addreq to make the intent of
the code more obvious.

# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.


# b59dcaee 23-Jun-2009 Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org>

- Use size_t instead of int when appropriate;
- Use C99 sparse initialization.

With these changes ifconfig(8) is WARNS=2 clean.


# d7f03759 19-Oct-2008 Ulf Lilleengen <lulf@FreeBSD.org>

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# 90c4b74c 31-Dec-2004 Sam Leffler <sam@FreeBSD.org>

Fix special status reporting. Prior to the reorg there was
special-purpose code to display status for an interface for
state that was not address-oriented. This status reporting
was merged in to the address-oriented status reporting but
did not work for link address reporting (as discovered with
fwip interfaces). Correct this mis-merge and eliminate the
bogus kludge that was used for link-level address reporting.

o add an af_other_status method for an address family for
reporting status of things like media, vlan, etc.
o call the af_other_status methods after reporting address
status for an interface
o special-case link address status; when reporting all
status for an interface invoke it specially prior to
reporting af_other_status methods (since it requires the
sockaddr_dl that is passed in to status separately from
the rtmsg address state)
o correct the calling convention for link address status;
don't cast types, construct the proper parameter

This fixes ifconfig on fwip interfaces.


# 5faf8dcb 08-Dec-2004 Sam Leffler <sam@FreeBSD.org>

Overhaul to cleanup some of the tangled logic that's grown over the years.

o break per-address family support out into separate files
o modularize per-address family and functional operations using
a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according
to which files you include (but beware that order of the files
is important to insure backwards compatibility)
o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables,
and poor coding practices (still much more to fix)

The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition
of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various
little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig
plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be
completed.

o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some
of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different
program


# 97490f4b 23-Oct-2002 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Rename ifconfig's "mac" argument to "maclabel" to prevent confusion
regarding 802.1 MAC and Mandatory Access Control (MAC). Some
potential for confusion remains further in other areas of the
system regarding Message Authentication Codes (MAC).

# 2d58d642 22-Oct-2002 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Teach ifconfig(8) how to print and set the MAC labels on network
interfaces using the 'mac' argument. Without MAC support in the
kernel, this does not change the behavior of ifconfig.
