netinet: add a probe point for IP, IP6, ICMP, ICMP6, UDP and TCP stats counters

When debugging network issues one common clue is an unexpectedly
incrementing error counter. This is helpful, in that it gives us an
idea of what might be going wrong, but often these counters may be
incremented in different functions.

Add a static probe point for them so that we can use dtrace to get
futher information (e.g. a stack trace).

For example:
dtrace -n 'mib:ip:count: { printf("%d", arg0); stack(); }'

This can be disabled by setting the following kernel option:
options KDTRACE_NO_MIB_SDT

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

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.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

# 315e3e38 02-Aug-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

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.

# eddfbb76 14-Jul-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

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.

# e27b0c87 12-Apr-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

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.

Clean up RST ratelimiting. Previously, ratelimiting occured before tests
were performed to determine if the received packet should be reset. This
created erroneous ratelimiting and false alarms in some cases. The code
has now been reorganized so that the checks for validity come before
the call to badport_bandlim. Additionally, a few changes in the symbolic
names of the bandlim types have been made, as well as a clarification of
exactly which type each RST case falls under.

Reviewed by: freebsd-current

Add ICMP_BANDLIM option and 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim' sysctl. If option
is specified in kernel config, icmplim defaults to 100 pps. Setting it
to 0 will disable the feature. This feature limits ICMP error responses
for packets sent to bad tcp or udp ports, which does a lot to help the
machine handle network D.O.S. attacks.

The kernel will report packet rates that exceed the limit at a rate of
one kernel printf per second. There is one issue in regards to the
'tail end' of an attack... the kernel will not output the last report
until some unrelated and valid icmp error packet is return at some
point after the attack is over. This is a minor reporting issue only.
