Revert r330897:

This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit
message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto
related code.

Revert with prejudice.

This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since
MFCed. This revert also skips files that require $FreeBSD$ property
changes.

Thank you to those who helped me get out of this mess including but not
limited to gonzo, kevans, rgrimes.

# 324472 10-Oct-2017 sephe

MFC 323170

if: Add ioctls to get RSS key and hash type/function.

It will be needed by hn(4) to configure its RSS key and hash
type/function in the transparent VF mode in order to match VF's
RSS settings. The description of the transparent VF mode and
the RSS hash value issue are here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=322299
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=322485

These are generic enough to promise two independent IOCs instead
of abusing SIOCGDRVSPEC.

Setting RSS key and hash type/function is a different story,
which probably requires more discussion.

Comment about UDP_{IPV4,IPV6,IPV6_EX} were only in the patch
in the review request; these hash types are standardized now.

# 318397 17-May-2017 rpokala

MFC r318160, 318176: Persistently store NIC's hardware MAC address, and add
a way to retrive it

The MAC address reported by `ifconfig ${nic} ether' does not always match
the address in the hardware, as reported by the driver during attach. In
particular, NICs which are components of a lagg(4) interface all report the
same MAC.

When attaching, the NIC driver passes the MAC address it read from the
hardware as an argument to ether_ifattach(). Keep a second copy of it, and
create ioctl(SIOCGHWADDR) to return it. Teach `ifconfig' to report it along
with the active MAC address.

ifmedia changes:

- Extend the number of available subtypes for Ethernet media by using some

number of possible Ethernet subtype values increases from 31 to 511.

- Use some of those new values to define new media types.

- lacp_compose_key() recgonizes the new Ethernet media types added.
(Change made as required by a comment in if_media.h)

- New ioctl, SIOGIFXMEDIA, to handle getting the new extended media types.
SIOCGIFMEDIA is retained for backwards compatibility.

- Changes to ifconfig to allow it to handle the new extended media types.

# 193166 31-May-2009 zec

Introduce an interm userland-kernel API for creating vnets and
assigning ifnets from one vnet to another. Deletion of vnets is not
yet supported.

The interface is implemented as an ioctl extension so that no syscalls
had to be introduced. This should be acceptable given that the new
interface will be used for a short / interim period only, until the
new jail management framwork gains the capability of managing vnets.
This method for managing vimages / vnets has been in use for the past
7 years without any observable issues.

The userland tool to be used in conjunction with the interim API can be
found in p4: //depot/projects/vimage-commit2/src/usr.sbin/vimage/... and
will most probably never get commited to svn.

Add the kernel side of network interface renaming support.

The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
on the routing socket.

As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
if_xname directly. if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.

# 61734 16-Jun-2000 wpaul

Implement SIOCSIFLLADDR, which allows you to change the link-level
address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:

socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command

You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).

Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

# 30198 07-Oct-1997 joerg

Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).

The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

# 5184 21-Dec-1994 wollman

Add generic part of generic multiple-physical-interface support (the

# 2531 06-Sep-1994 wollman

Initial get-the-easy-case-working upgrade of the multicast code
to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):

- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.

What still needs to be done:

- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.

Some notes about the porting process:

In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.

I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.
