Convert route caching to nexthop caching.

This change is build on top of nexthop objects introduced in r359823.

Nexthops are separate datastructures, containing all necessary information
to perform packet forwarding such as gateway interface and mtu. Nexthops
are shared among the routes, providing more pre-computed cache-efficient
data while requiring less memory. Splitting the LPM code and the attached
data solves multiple long-standing problems in the routing layer,
drastically reduces the coupling with outher parts of the stack and allows
to transparently introduce faster lookup algorithms.

Route caching was (re)introduced to minimise (slow) routing lookups, allowing
for notably better performance for large TCP senders. Caching works by
acquiring rtentry reference, which is protected by per-rtentry mutex.
If the routing table is changed (checked by comparing the rtable generation id)
or link goes down, cache record gets withdrawn.

Nexthops have the same reference counting interface, backed by refcount(9).
This change merely replaces rtentry with the actual forwarding nextop as a
cached object, which is mostly mechanical. Other moving parts like cache
cleanup on rtable change remains the same.

KTLS: Re-work unmapped mbufs to carry ext_pgs in the mbuf itself.

While the original implementation of unmapped mbufs was a large
step forward in terms of reducing cache misses by enabling mbufs
to carry more than a single page for sendfile, they are rather
cache unfriendly when accessing the ext_pgs metadata and
data. This is because the ext_pgs part of the mbuf is allocated
separately, and almost guaranteed to be cold in cache.

This change takes advantage of the fact that unmapped mbufs
are never used at the same time as pkthdr mbufs. Given this
fact, we can overlap the ext_pgs metadata with the mbuf
pkthdr, and carry the ext_pgs meta directly in the mbuf itself.
Similarly, we can carry the ext_pgs data (TLS hdr/trailer/array
of pages) directly after the existing m_ext.

In order to be able to carry 5 pages (which is the minimum
required for a 16K TLS record which is not perfectly aligned) on
LP64, I've had to steal ext_arg2. The only user of this in the
xmit path is sendfile, and I've adjusted it to use arg1 when
using unmapped mbufs.

This change is almost entirely mechanical, except that we
change mb_alloc_ext_pgs() to no longer allow allocating
pkthdrs, the change to avoid ext_arg2 as mentioned above,
and the removal of the ext_pgs zone,

This change saves roughly 2% "raw" CPU (~59% -> 57%), or over
3% "scaled" CPU on a Netflix 100% software kTLS workload at
90+ Gb/s on Broadwell Xeons.

In a follow-on commit, I plan to remove some hacks to avoid
access ext_pgs fields of mbufs, since they will now be in
cache.

Many thanks to glebius for helping to make this better in
the Netflix tree.

Refactor driver and consumer interfaces for OCF (in-kernel crypto).

- The linked list of cryptoini structures used in session
initialization is replaced with a new flat structure: struct
crypto_session_params. This session includes a new mode to define
how the other fields should be interpreted. Available modes
include:

- COMPRESS (for compression/decompression)
- CIPHER (for simply encryption/decryption)
- DIGEST (computing and verifying digests)
- AEAD (combined auth and encryption such as AES-GCM and AES-CCM)
- ETA (combined auth and encryption using encrypt-then-authenticate)

Additional modes could be added in the future (e.g. if we wanted to
support TLS MtE for AES-CBC in the kernel we could add a new mode
for that. TLS modes might also affect how AAD is interpreted, etc.)

The flat structure also includes the key lengths and algorithms as
before. However, code doesn't have to walk the linked list and
switch on the algorithm to determine which key is the auth key vs
encryption key. The 'csp_auth_*' fields are always used for auth
keys and settings and 'csp_cipher_*' for cipher. (Compression
algorithms are stored in csp_cipher_alg.)

- Drivers no longer register a list of supported algorithms. This
doesn't quite work when you factor in modes (e.g. a driver might
support both AES-CBC and SHA2-256-HMAC separately but not combined
for ETA). Instead, a new 'crypto_probesession' method has been
added to the kobj interface for symmteric crypto drivers. This
method returns a negative value on success (similar to how
device_probe works) and the crypto framework uses this value to pick
the "best" driver. There are three constants for hardware
(e.g. ccr), accelerated software (e.g. aesni), and plain software
(cryptosoft) that give preference in that order. One effect of this
is that if you request only hardware when creating a new session,
you will no longer get a session using accelerated software.
Another effect is that the default setting to disallow software
crypto via /dev/crypto now disables accelerated software.

Once a driver is chosen, 'crypto_newsession' is invoked as before.

- Crypto operations are now solely described by the flat 'cryptop'
structure. The linked list of descriptors has been removed.

A separate enum has been added to describe the type of data buffer
in use instead of using CRYPTO_F_* flags to make it easier to add
more types in the future if needed (e.g. wired userspace buffers for
zero-copy). It will also make it easier to re-introduce separate
input and output buffers (in-kernel TLS would benefit from this).

Try to make the flags related to IV handling less insane:

- CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE means that the IV is stored in the 'crp_iv'
member of the operation structure. If this flag is not set, the
IV is stored in the data buffer at the 'crp_iv_start' offset.

- CRYPTO_F_IV_GENERATE means that a random IV should be generated
and stored into the data buffer. This cannot be used with
CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE.

If a consumer wants to deal with explicit vs implicit IVs, etc. it
can always generate the IV however it needs and store partial IVs in
the buffer and the full IV/nonce in crp_iv and set
CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE.

The layout of the buffer is now described via fields in cryptop.
crp_aad_start and crp_aad_length define the boundaries of any AAD.
Previously with GCM and CCM you defined an auth crd with this range,
but for ETA your auth crd had to span both the AAD and plaintext
(and they had to be adjacent).

crp_payload_start and crp_payload_length define the boundaries of
the plaintext/ciphertext. Modes that only do a single operation
(COMPRESS, CIPHER, DIGEST) should only use this region and leave the
AAD region empty.

If a digest is present (or should be generated), it's starting
location is marked by crp_digest_start.

Instead of using the CRD_F_ENCRYPT flag to determine the direction
of the operation, cryptop now includes an 'op' field defining the
operation to perform. For digests I've added a new VERIFY digest
mode which assumes a digest is present in the input and fails the
request with EBADMSG if it doesn't match the internally-computed
digest. GCM and CCM already assumed this, and the new AEAD mode
requires this for decryption. The new ETA mode now also requires
this for decryption, so IPsec and GELI no longer do their own
authentication verification. Simple DIGEST operations can also do
this, though there are no in-tree consumers.

To eventually support some refcounting to close races, the session
cookie is now passed to crypto_getop() and clients should no longer
set crp_sesssion directly.

- Assymteric crypto operation structures should be allocated via
crypto_getkreq() and freed via crypto_freekreq(). This permits the
crypto layer to track open asym requests and close races with a
driver trying to unregister while asym requests are in flight.

- crypto_copyback, crypto_copydata, crypto_apply, and
crypto_contiguous_subsegment now accept the 'crp' object as the
first parameter instead of individual members. This makes it easier
to deal with different buffer types in the future as well as
separate input and output buffers. It's also simpler for driver
writers to use.

- bus_dmamap_load_crp() loads a DMA mapping for a crypto buffer.
This understands the various types of buffers so that drivers that
use DMA do not have to be aware of different buffer types.

- Helper routines now exist to build an auth context for HMAC IPAD
and OPAD. This reduces some duplicated work among drivers.

- Key buffers are now treated as const throughout the framework and in
device drivers. However, session key buffers provided when a session
is created are expected to remain alive for the duration of the
session.

- GCM and CCM sessions now only specify a cipher algorithm and a cipher
key. The redundant auth information is not needed or used.

- For cryptosoft, split up the code a bit such that the 'process'
callback now invokes a function pointer in the session. This
function pointer is set based on the mode (in effect) though it
simplifies a few edge cases that would otherwise be in the switch in
'process'.

It does split up GCM vs CCM which I think is more readable even if there
is some duplication.

- I changed /dev/crypto to support GMAC requests using CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GMAC
as an auth algorithm and updated cryptocheck to work with it.

- Combined cipher and auth sessions via /dev/crypto now always use ETA
mode. The COP_F_CIPHER_FIRST flag is now a no-op that is ignored.
This was actually documented as being true in crypto(4) before, but
the code had not implemented this before I added the CIPHER_FIRST
flag.

- I have not yet updated /dev/crypto to be aware of explicit modes for
sessions. I will probably do that at some point in the future as well
as teach it about IV/nonce and tag lengths for AEAD so we can support
all of the NIST KAT tests for GCM and CCM.

- I've split up the exising crypto.9 manpage into several pages
of which many are written from scratch.

- I have converted all drivers and consumers in the tree and verified
that they compile, but I have not tested all of them. I have tested
the following drivers:

- cryptosoft
- aesni (AES only)
- blake2
- ccr

and the following consumers:

make lacp's use_numa hashing aware of send tags

When I did the use_numa support, I missed the fact that there is
a separate hash function for send tag nic selection. So when
use_numa is enabled, ktls offload does not work properly, as it
does not reliably allocate a send tag on the proper egress nic
since different egress nics are selected for send-tag allocation
and packet transmit. To fix this, this change:

- refectors lacp_select_tx_port_by_hash() and
lacp_select_tx_port() to make lacp_select_tx_port_by_hash()
always called by lacp_select_tx_port()

- pre-shifts flowids to convert them to hashes when calling lacp_select_tx_port_by_hash()

- adds a numa_domain field to if_snd_tag_alloc_params

- plumbs the numa domain into places where we allocate send tags

In testing with NIC TLS setup on a NUMA machine, I see thousands
of output errors before the change when enabling
kern.ipc.tls.ifnet.permitted=1. After the change, I see no
errors, and I see the NIC sysctl counters showing active TLS
offload sessions.

kTLS: Fix a bug where we would not encrypt anon data inplace.

Software Kernel TLS needs to allocate a new destination crypto
buffer when encrypting data from the page cache, so as to avoid
overwriting shared clear-text file data with encrypted data
specific to a single socket. When the data is anonymous, eg, not
tied to a file, then we can encrypt in place and avoid allocating
a new page. This fixes a bug where the existing code always
assumes the data is private, and never encrypts in place. This
results in unneeded page allocations and potentially more memory
bandwidth consumption when doing socket writes.

When the code was written at Netflix, ktls_encrypt() looked at
private sendfile flags to determine if the pages being encrypted
where part of the page cache (coming from sendfile) or
anonymous (coming from sosend). This was broken internally at
Netflix when the sendfile flags were made private, and the
M_WRITABLE() check was added. Unfortunately, M_WRITABLE() will
always be false for M_NOMAP mbufs, since one cannot just mtod()
them.

This change introduces a new flags field to the mbuf_ext_pgs
struct by stealing a byte from the tls hdr. Note that the current
header is still 2 bytes larger than the largest header we
support: AES-CBC with explicit IV. We set MBUF_PEXT_FLAG_ANON
when creating an unmapped mbuf in m_uiotombuf_nomap() (which is
the path that socket writes take), and we check for that flag in
ktls_encrypt() when looking for anon pages.

Add kernel-side support for in-kernel TLS.

KTLS adds support for in-kernel framing and encryption of Transport
Layer Security (1.0-1.2) data on TCP sockets. KTLS only supports
offload of TLS for transmitted data. Key negotation must still be
performed in userland. Once completed, transmit session keys for a
connection are provided to the kernel via a new TCP_TXTLS_ENABLE
socket option. All subsequent data transmitted on the socket is
placed into TLS frames and encrypted using the supplied keys.

Any data written to a KTLS-enabled socket via write(2), aio_write(2),
or sendfile(2) is assumed to be application data and is encoded in TLS
frames with an application data type. Individual records can be sent
with a custom type (e.g. handshake messages) via sendmsg(2) with a new
control message (TLS_SET_RECORD_TYPE) specifying the record type.

At present, rekeying is not supported though the in-kernel framework
should support rekeying.

KTLS makes use of the recently added unmapped mbufs to store TLS
frames in the socket buffer. Each TLS frame is described by a single
ext_pgs mbuf. The ext_pgs structure contains the header of the TLS
record (and trailer for encrypted records) as well as references to
the associated TLS session.

KTLS supports two primary methods of encrypting TLS frames: software
TLS and ifnet TLS.

Software TLS marks mbufs holding socket data as not ready via
M_NOTREADY similar to sendfile(2) when TLS framing information is
added to an unmapped mbuf in ktls_frame(). ktls_enqueue() is then
called to schedule TLS frames for encryption. In the case of
sendfile_iodone() calls ktls_enqueue() instead of pru_ready() leaving
the mbufs marked M_NOTREADY until encryption is completed. For other
writes (vn_sendfile when pages are available, write(2), etc.), the
PRUS_NOTREADY is set when invoking pru_send() along with invoking
ktls_enqueue().

A pool of worker threads (the "KTLS" kernel process) encrypts TLS
frames queued via ktls_enqueue(). Each TLS frame is temporarily
mapped using the direct map and passed to a software encryption
backend to perform the actual encryption.

(Note: The use of PHYS_TO_DMAP could be replaced with sf_bufs if
someone wished to make this work on architectures without a direct
map.)

KTLS supports pluggable software encryption backends. Internally,
Netflix uses proprietary pure-software backends. This commit includes
a simple backend in a new ktls_ocf.ko module that uses the kernel's
OpenCrypto framework to provide AES-GCM encryption of TLS frames. As
a result, software TLS is now a bit of a misnomer as it can make use
of hardware crypto accelerators.

Once software encryption has finished, the TLS frame mbufs are marked
ready via pru_ready(). At this point, the encrypted data appears as
regular payload to the TCP stack stored in unmapped mbufs.

ifnet TLS permits a NIC to offload the TLS encryption and TCP
segmentation. In this mode, a new send tag type (IF_SND_TAG_TYPE_TLS)
is allocated on the interface a socket is routed over and associated
with a TLS session. TLS records for a TLS session using ifnet TLS are
not marked M_NOTREADY but are passed down the stack unencrypted. The
ip_output_send() and ip6_output_send() helper functions that apply
send tags to outbound IP packets verify that the send tag of the TLS
record matches the outbound interface. If so, the packet is tagged
with the TLS send tag and sent to the interface. The NIC device
driver must recognize packets with the TLS send tag and schedule them
for TLS encryption and TCP segmentation. If the the outbound
interface does not match the interface in the TLS send tag, the packet
is dropped. In addition, a task is scheduled to refresh the TLS send
tag for the TLS session. If a new TLS send tag cannot be allocated,
the connection is dropped. If a new TLS send tag is allocated,
however, subsequent packets will be tagged with the correct TLS send
tag. (This latter case has been tested by configuring both ports of a
Chelsio T6 in a lagg and failing over from one port to another. As
the connections migrated to the new port, new TLS send tags were
allocated for the new port and connections resumed without being
dropped.)

ifnet TLS can be enabled and disabled on supported network interfaces
via new '[-]txtls[46]' options to ifconfig(8). ifnet TLS is supported
across both vlan devices and lagg interfaces using failover, lacp with
flowid enabled, or lacp with flowid enabled.

Applications may request the current KTLS mode of a connection via a
new TCP_TXTLS_MODE socket option. They can also use this socket
option to toggle between software and ifnet TLS modes.

In addition, a testing tool is available in tools/tools/switch_tls.
This is modeled on tcpdrop and uses similar syntax. However, instead
of dropping connections, -s is used to force KTLS connections to
switch to software TLS and -i is used to switch to ifnet TLS.

Various sysctls and counters are available under the kern.ipc.tls
sysctl node. The kern.ipc.tls.enable node must be set to true to
enable KTLS (it is off by default). The use of unmapped mbufs must
also be enabled via kern.ipc.mb_use_ext_pgs to enable KTLS.

KTLS is enabled via the KERN_TLS kernel option.

This patch is the culmination of years of work by several folks
including Scott Long and Randall Stewart for the original design and
implementation; Drew Gallatin for several optimizations including the
use of ext_pgs mbufs, the M_NOTREADY mechanism for TLS records
awaiting software encryption, and pluggable software crypto backends;
and John Baldwin for modifications to support hardware TLS offload.
