Implemented a mount option "nocto" that disables cache coherency

# 221032 25-Apr-2011 rmacklem

Fix the experimental NFS client so that it does not bogusly
set the f_flags field of "struct statfs". This had the interesting
effect of making the NFSv4 mounts "disappear" after r221014,
since NFSMNT_NFSV4 and MNT_IGNORE became the same bit.
Move the files used for a diskless NFS root from sys/nfsclient
to sys/nfs in preparation for them to be used by both NFS
clients. Also, move the declaration of the three global data
structures from sys/nfsclient/nfs_vfsops.c to sys/nfs/nfs_diskless.c
so that they are defined when either client uses them.

VNET socket push back:
try to minimize the number of places where we have to switch vnets
and narrow down the time we stay switched. Add assertions to the
socket code to catch possibly unset vnets as seen in r204147.

While this reduces the number of vnet recursion in some places like
NFS, POSIX local sockets and some netgraph, .. recursions are
impossible to fix.

The current expectations are documented at the beginning of
uipc_socket.c along with the other information there.

# 212123 01-Sep-2010 rmacklem

Modify nfs_diskless.c to recognize the environment variable
boot.nfsroot.nfshandlelen and set the diskless root fs to
use NFSv3 and this file handle length when it is set. If
this environment variable is not set, the diskless root fs
will use NFSv2 and the same defaults as before. This fixes
the problem where the diskless nfs root fs had to be on a
FreeBSD server for NFSv3 to work, because it did not know
the correct file handle length and assumed the size used
by FreeBSD. Until pxeboot and loader are replaced by ones
built from commits coming soon, boot.nfsroot.nfshandlelen
will not be set by them and the diskless root fs will use
NFSv2 unless the /etc/fstab entry has the "nfsv3" option
specified.

# 196019 01-Aug-2009 rwatson

Merge the remainder of kern_vimage.c and vimage.h into vnet.c and
vnet.h, we now use jails (rather than vimages) as the abstraction
for virtualization management, and what remained was specific to
virtual network stacks. Minor cleanups are done in the process,
and comments updated to reflect these changes.

# 195699 14-Jul-2009 rwatson

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.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

# 194739 23-Jun-2009 bz

After cleaning up rt_tables from vnet.h and cleaning up opt_route.h
a lot of files no longer need route.h either. Garbage collect them.
While here remove now unneeded vnet.h #includes as well.


# 193744 08-Jun-2009 bz

After r193232 rt_tables in vnet.h are no longer indirectly dependent on
the ROUTETABLES kernel option thus there is no need to include opt_route.h
anymore in all consumers of vnet.h and no longer depend on it for module
builds.

Remove the hidden include in flowtable.h as well and leave the two
explicit #includes in ip_input.c and ip_output.c.


# 192578 22-May-2009 rwatson

# 189106 27-Feb-2009 bz

For all files including net/vnet.h directly include opt_route.h and
net/route.h.

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.

We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.

This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.


# 185571 02-Dec-2008 bz

Rather than using hidden includes (with cicular dependencies),
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

Step 1.5 of importing the network stack virtualization infrastructure
from the vimage project, as per plan established at devsummit 08/08:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Image/Notes200808DevSummit

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.

Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().

Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).

All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).

(*) netipsec/keysock.c did not validate depending on compile time options.

# 181803 17-Aug-2008 bz

Commit step 1 of the vimage project, (network stack)
virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).

This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.

Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.

We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.

Forced commit: previous change also switches the default diskless NFS mode
from NFSv2 to NFSv3.


# 176198 11-Feb-2008 kris

Switch the default NFS mount mode from UDP to TCP. UDP mounts are a
historical relic, and are no longer appropriate for either LAN or WAN
mounting. At modern (gigabit and 10 gigabit) LAN speeds packet loss
from socket buffer fill events is common, and sequence numbers wrap
quickly enough that data corruption is possible. TCP solves both of
these problems without imposing significant overhead.

# 160038 29-Jun-2006 yar

There is a consensus that ifaddr.ifa_addr should never be NULL,
except in places dealing with ifaddr creation or destruction; and
in such special places incomplete ifaddrs should never be linked
to system-wide data structures. Therefore we can eliminate all the
superfluous checks for "ifa->ifa_addr != NULL" and get ready
to the system crashing honestly instead of masking possible bugs.

# 150995 06-Oct-2005 pjd

Add boot.nfsroot.options loader tunable.
It allows to specify options for NFS root file system.
Currently supported options are: soft, intr, conn, lockd.

I'm adding this functionality mostly for 'lockd' option, which is only
honored when performing the initial mount and will be silently ignored
if used while updating the mount options.

This will allow to use flock(2) without the need of using varmfs or
rpc.lockd and friends.

Example of use:
boot.nfsroot.options="intr,lockd"

Moved nfs_diskless setup code from autoconf.c to nfsclient/nfs_diskless.c

struct is not valid, rather than panicing later on. Call nfs_setup_diskless()
from nfs_mountroot if NFS_ROOT is defined, like bootpc_init(). Removed legacy
root mount support for sparc64, and enabled NFS_ROOT by default.
