ip6_output: use new routing KPI when not passed a cached route

Implement the equivalent of r347375 (IPv4) for the IPv6 output path.
In IPv6 we get passed a cached route (and inp) by udp6_output()
depending on whether we acquired a write lock on the INP.
In case we neither bind nor connect a first UDP packet would come in
with a cached route (wlocked) and all further packets would not.
In case we bind and do not connect we never write-lock the inp.

When we do not pass in a cached route, rather than providing the
storage for a route locally and pass it over the old lookup code
and down the stack, use the new route lookup KPI and acquire all
details we need to send the packet.

Compared to the IPv4 code the IPv6 code has a couple of possible
complications: given an option with a routing hdr/caching route there,
and path mtu (ro_pmtu) case which now equally has to deal with the
possibility of having a route which is NULL passed in, and the
fwd_tag in case a firewall changes the next hop (something to
factor out in the future).

Fix IPv6 checksums when exthdrs are present.

In two places in ip6_output we are doing (delayed) checksum calculations.
The initial logic came from SCTP in r205075,205104 and later I copied
and adjusted it for the TCP|UDP case in r235958.
The problem was that the original SCTP offsets were already wrong for any
case with extension headers present given IPv6 extension headers are not
part of the pseudo checksum calculations.
The later changes do not help in case there is checksum offloading as for
extension headers (incl. fragments) we do currrently never offload as we
have no infrastructure to know whether the NIC can handle these cases.

Correct the offsets for delayed checksum calculations and properly handle
mbuf flags. In addition harmonize the almost identical duplicate code.

While here eliminate the now unneeded variable hlen and add an always
missing mtod() call in the 1-b and 3 cases after the introduction of
the mb_unmapped_to_ext() calls.

Widen NET_EPOCH coverage.

When epoch(9) was introduced to network stack, it was basically
dropped in place of existing locking, which was mutexes and
rwlocks. For the sake of performance mutex covered areas were
as small as possible, so became epoch covered areas.

However, epoch doesn't introduce any contention, it just delays
memory reclaim. So, there is no point to minimise epoch covered
areas in sense of performance. Meanwhile entering/exiting epoch
also has non-zero CPU usage, so doing this less often is a win.

Not the least is also code maintainability. In the new paradigm
we can assume that at any stage of processing a packet, we are
inside network epoch. This makes coding both input and output
path way easier.

On output path we already enter epoch quite early - in the
ip_output(), in the ip6_output().

This patch does the same for the input path. All ISR processing,
network related callouts, other ways of packet injection to the
network stack shall be performed in net_epoch. Any leaf function
that walks network configuration now asserts epoch.

Tricky part is configuration code paths - ioctls, sysctls. They
also call into leaf functions, so some need to be changed.

This patch would introduce more epoch recursions (see EPOCH_TRACE)
than we had before. They will be cleaned up separately, as several
of them aren't trivial. Note, that unlike a lock recursion the
epoch recursion is safe and just wastes a bit of resources.

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.

IPv6 cleanup: kernel

Finish what was started a few years ago and harmonize IPv6 and IPv4
kernel names. We are down to very few places now that it is feasible
to do the change for everything remaining with causing too much disturbance.

Remove "aliases" for IPv6 names which confusingly could indicate
that we are talking about a different data structure or field or
have two fields, one for each address family.
Try to follow common conventions used in FreeBSD.

* Rename sin6p to sin6 as that is how it is spelt in most places.
* Remove "aliases" (#defines) for:
- in6pcb which really is an inpcb and nothing separate
- sotoin6pcb which is sotoinpcb (as per above)
- in6p_sp which is inp_sp
- in6p_flowinfo which is inp_flow
* Try to use ia6 for in6_addr rather than in6p.
* With all these gone also rename the in6p variables to inp as
that is what we call it in most of the network stack including
parts of netinet6.

The reasons behind this cleanup are that we try to further
unify netinet and netinet6 code where possible and that people
will less ignore one or the other protocol family when doing
code changes as they may not have spotted places due to different
names for the same thing.

No functional changes.

Add an external mbuf buffer type that holds multiple unmapped pages.

Unmapped mbufs allow sendfile to carry multiple pages of data in a
single mbuf, without mapping those pages. It is a requirement for
Netflix's in-kernel TLS, and provides a 5-10% CPU savings on heavy web
serving workloads when used by sendfile, due to effectively
compressing socket buffers by an order of magnitude, and hence
reducing cache misses.

For this new external mbuf buffer type (EXT_PGS), the ext_buf pointer
now points to a struct mbuf_ext_pgs structure instead of a data
buffer. This structure contains an array of physical addresses (this
reduces cache misses compared to an earlier version that stored an
array of vm_page_t pointers). It also stores additional fields needed
for in-kernel TLS such as the TLS header and trailer data that are
currently unused. To more easily detect these mbufs, the M_NOMAP flag
is set in m_flags in addition to M_EXT.

Various functions like m_copydata() have been updated to safely access
packet contents (using uiomove_fromphys()), to make things like BPF
safe.

NIC drivers advertise support for unmapped mbufs on transmit via a new
IFCAP_NOMAP capability. This capability can be toggled via the new
'nomap' and '-nomap' ifconfig(8) commands. For NIC drivers that only
transmit packet contents via DMA and use bus_dma, adding the
capability to if_capabilities and if_capenable should be all that is
required.

If a NIC does not support unmapped mbufs, they are converted to a
chain of mapped mbufs (using sf_bufs to provide the mapping) in
ip_output or ip6_output. If an unmapped mbuf requires software
checksums, it is also converted to a chain of mapped mbufs before
computing the checksum.

Restructure mbuf send tags to provide stronger guarantees.

- Perform ifp mismatch checks (to determine if a send tag is allocated
for a different ifp than the one the packet is being output on), in
ip_output() and ip6_output(). This avoids sending packets with send
tags to ifnet drivers that don't support send tags.

Since we are now checking for ifp mismatches before invoking
if_output, we can now try to allocate a new tag before invoking
if_output sending the original packet on the new tag if allocation
succeeds.

To avoid code duplication for the fragment and unfragmented cases,
add ip_output_send() and ip6_output_send() as wrappers around
if_output and nd6_output_ifp, respectively. All of the logic for
setting send tags and dealing with send tag-related errors is done
in these wrapper functions.

For pseudo interfaces that wrap other network interfaces (vlan and
lagg), wrapper send tags are now allocated so that ip*_output see
the wrapper ifp as the ifp in the send tag. The if_transmit
routines rewrite the send tags after performing an ifp mismatch
check. If an ifp mismatch is detected, the transmit routines fail
with EAGAIN.

- To provide clearer life cycle management of send tags, especially
in the presence of vlan and lagg wrapper tags, add a reference count
to send tags managed via m_snd_tag_ref() and m_snd_tag_rele().
Provide a helper function (m_snd_tag_init()) for use by drivers
supporting send tags. m_snd_tag_init() takes care of the if_ref
on the ifp meaning that code alloating send tags via if_snd_tag_alloc
no longer has to manage that manually. Similarly, m_snd_tag_rele
drops the refcount on the ifp after invoking if_snd_tag_free when
the last reference to a send tag is dropped.

This also closes use after free races if there are pending packets in
driver tx rings after the socket is closed (e.g. from tcpdrop).

In order for m_free to work reliably, add a new CSUM_SND_TAG flag in
csum_flags to indicate 'snd_tag' is set (rather than 'rcvif').
Drivers now also check this flag instead of checking snd_tag against
NULL. This avoids false positive matches when a forwarded packet
has a non-NULL rcvif that was treated as a send tag.

- cxgbe was relying on snd_tag_free being called when the inp was
detached so that it could kick the firmware to flush any pending
work on the flow. This is because the driver doesn't require ACK
messages from the firmware for every request, but instead does a
kind of manual interrupt coalescing by only setting a flag to
request a completion on a subset of requests. If all of the
in-flight requests don't have the flag when the tag is detached from
the inp, the flow might never return the credits. The current
snd_tag_free command issues a flush command to force the credits to
return. However, the credit return is what also frees the mbufs,
and since those mbufs now hold references on the tag, this meant
that snd_tag_free would never be called.

To fix, explicitly drop the mbuf's reference on the snd tag when the
mbuf is queued in the firmware work queue. This means that once the
inp's reference on the tag goes away and all in-flight mbufs have
been queued to the firmware, tag's refcount will drop to zero and
snd_tag_free will kick in and send the flush request. Note that we
need to avoid doing this in the middle of ethofld_tx(), so the
driver grabs a temporary reference on the tag around that loop to
defer the free to the end of the function in case it sends the last
mbuf to the queue after the inp has dropped its reference on the
tag.

- mlx5 preallocates send tags and was using the ifp pointer even when
the send tag wasn't in use. Explicitly use the ifp from other data
structures instead.

- Sprinkle some assertions in various places to assert that received
packets don't have a send tag, and that other places that overwrite
rcvif (e.g. 802.11 transmit) don't clobber a send tag pointer.
