nfsv4 client: do the BindConnectionToSession as required

During a recent testing event, it was reported that the NFSv4.1/4.2
server erroneously bound the back channel to a new TCP connection.
RFC5661 specifies that the fore channel is implicitly bound to a
new TCP connection when an RPC with Sequence (almost any of them)
is done on it. For the back channel to be bound to the new TCP
connection, an explicit BindConnectionToSession must be done as
the first RPC on the new connection.

Since new TCP connections are created by the "reconnect" layer
(sys/rpc/clnt_rc.c) of the krpc, this patch adds an optional
upcall done by the krpc whenever a new connection is created.
The patch also adds the specific upcall function that does a
BindConnectionToSession and configures the krpc to call it
when required.

This is necessary for correct interoperability with NFSv4.1/NFSv4.2
servers when the nfscbd daemon is running.

If doing NFSv4.1/NFSv4.2 mounts without this patch, it is
recommended that the nfscbd daemon not be running and that
the "pnfs" mount option not be specified.

# 665b1365 21-Dec-2020 Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org>

Add a new "tlscertname" NFS mount option.

When using NFS-over-TLS, an NFS client can optionally provide an X.509
certificate to the server during the TLS handshake. For some situations,
such as different NFS servers or different certificates being mapped
to different user credentials on the NFS server, there may be a need
for different mounts to provide different certificates.

This new mount option called "tlscertname" may be used to specify a
non-default certificate be provided. This alernate certificate will
be stored in /etc/rpc.tlsclntd in a file with a name based on what is
provided by this mount option.


# 02511d21 10-Aug-2020 Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org>

Add an argument to newnfs_connect() that indicates use TLS for the connection.

For NFSv4.0, the server creates a server->client TCP connection for callbacks.
If the client mount on the server is using TLS, enable TLS for this callback
TCP connection.
TLS connections from clients will not be supported until the kernel RPC
changes are committed.

Since this changes the internal ABI between the NFS kernel modules that
will require a version bump, delete newnfs_trimtrailing(), which is no
longer used.

Since LCL_TLSCB is not yet set, these changes should not have any semantic
affect at this time.

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.

Remove register keyword from sys/ and ANSIfy prototypes

A long long time ago the register keyword told the compiler to store
the corresponding variable in a CPU register, but it is not relevant
for any compiler used in the FreeBSD world today.

# e2adc47d 07-Dec-2012 Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for backchannels to the kernel RPC. Backchannels
are used by NFSv4.1 for callbacks. A backchannel is a connection
established by the client, but used for RPCs done by the server
on the client (callbacks). As a result, this patch mixes some
client side calls in the server side and vice versa. Some
definitions in the .c files were extracted out into a file called
krpc.h, so that they could be included in multiple .c files.
This code has been in projects/nfsv4.1-client for some time.
Although no one has given it a formal review, I believe kib@
has taken a look at it.


# 7b67bd9f 27-Apr-2011 Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org>

This patch is believed to fix a problem in the kernel rpc for
non-interruptible NFS mounts, where a kernel thread will seem
to be stuck sleeping on "rpccon". The msleep() in clnt_vc_create()
that was waiting to a TCP connect to complete would return ERESTART,
since PCATCH was specified. Then the tsleep() in clnt_reconnect_call()
would sleep for 1 second and then try again and again and...
The patch changes the msleep() in clnt_vc_create() so it only sets
the PCATCH flag for interruptible cases.

# a9148abd 03-Nov-2008 Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>

Implement support for RPCSEC_GSS authentication to both the NFS client
and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.

The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.

To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.

As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.

Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.

The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

# c675522f 26-Jun-2008 Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>

Re-implement the client side of rpc.lockd in the kernel. This implementation
provides the correct semantics for flock(2) style locks which are used by the
lockf(1) command line tool and the pidfile(3) library. It also implements
recovery from server restarts and ensures that dirty cache blocks are written
to the server before obtaining locks (allowing multiple clients to use file
locking to safely share data).

# dfdcada3 26-Mar-2008 Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>

Add the new kernel-mode NFS Lock Manager. To use it instead of the
user-mode lock manager, build a kernel with the NFSLOCKD option and
add '-k' to 'rpc_lockd_flags' in rc.conf.

Highlights include:

* Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC
client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket
upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed
off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC
clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single
privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote
hosts.

* Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded
server would be relatively straightforward and would follow
approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient
for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation.

* Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted
callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it
passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests
running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux.

* Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have
support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to
field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the
local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland
rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket.

* Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular
it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more
than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all
deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that
if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will
eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred
deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and
find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to
the lock.

* Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel
locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks
for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage
compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that
has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict
first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.
