spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

ifnet/API: Move struct ifnet definition to a <net/if_private.h>

Hide the ifnet structure definition, no user serviceable parts inside,
it's a netstack implementation detail. Include it temporarily in
<net/if_var.h> until all drivers are updated to use the accessors
exclusively.

Add a switch structure for send tags.

Move the type and function pointers for operations on existing send
tags (modify, query, next, free) out of 'struct ifnet' and into a new
'struct if_snd_tag_sw'. A pointer to this structure is added to the
generic part of send tags and is initialized by m_snd_tag_init()
(which now accepts a switch structure as a new argument in place of
the type).

Previously, device driver ifnet methods switched on the type to call
type-specific functions. Now, those type-specific functions are saved
in the switch structure and invoked directly. In addition, this more
gracefully permits multiple implementations of the same tag within a
driver. In particular, NIC TLS for future Chelsio adapters will use a
different implementation than the existing NIC TLS support for T6
adapters.

sys: 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.


# f3e7afe2 18-Jan-2017 Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org>

Implement kernel support for hardware rate limited sockets.

- Add RATELIMIT kernel configuration keyword which must be set to
enable the new functionality.

- Add support for hardware driven, Receive Side Scaling, RSS aware, rate
limited sendqueues and expose the functionality through the already
established SO_MAX_PACING_RATE setsockopt(). The API support rates in
the range from 1 to 4Gbytes/s which are suitable for regular TCP and
UDP streams. The setsockopt(2) manual page has been updated.

- Add rate limit function callback API to "struct ifnet" which supports
the following operations: if_snd_tag_alloc(), if_snd_tag_modify(),
if_snd_tag_query() and if_snd_tag_free().

- Add support to ifconfig to view, set and clear the IFCAP_TXRTLMT
flag, which tells if a network driver supports rate limiting or not.

- This patch also adds support for rate limiting through VLAN and LAGG
intermediate network devices.

- How rate limiting works:

1) The userspace application calls setsockopt() after accepting or
making a new connection to set the rate which is then stored in the
socket structure in the kernel. Later on when packets are transmitted
a check is made in the transmit path for rate changes. A rate change
implies a non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_alloc() call will be made to the
destination network interface, which then sets up a custom sendqueue
with the given rate limitation parameter. A "struct m_snd_tag" pointer is
returned which serves as a "snd_tag" hint in the m_pkthdr for the
subsequently transmitted mbufs.

2) When the network driver sees the "m->m_pkthdr.snd_tag" different
from NULL, it will move the packets into a designated rate limited sendqueue
given by the snd_tag pointer. It is up to the individual drivers how the rate
limited traffic will be rate limited.

3) Route changes are detected by the NIC drivers in the ifp->if_transmit()
routine when the ifnet pointer in the incoming snd_tag mismatches the
one of the network interface. The network adapter frees the mbuf and
returns EAGAIN which causes the ip_output() to release and clear the send
tag. Upon next ip_output() a new "snd_tag" will be tried allocated.

4) When the PCB is detached the custom sendqueue will be released by a
non-blocking ifp->if_snd_tag_free() call to the currently bound network
interface.

During if_detach(), invoke if_dead() to set the ifnet's function
pointers to "dead" implementations that no-op rather than invoking
the device driver. This would generally be unexpected and
possibly quite badly handled by most device drivers after
if_detach() has completed.
