jhb 1b35636119 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.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
