netmap: add support for multiple host rings

Some applications forward from/to host rings most or all the
traffic received or sent on a physical interface. In this
cases it is desirable to have more than a pair of RX/TX host
rings, and use multiple threads to speed up forwarding.
This change adds support for multiple host rings. On registering
a netmap port, the user can specify the number of desired receive
and transmit host rings in the nr_host_tx_rings and nr_host_rx_rings
fields of the nmreq_register structure.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (760279cfb2730a585)

Changelist:
- Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
- Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
- Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
(e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
- Various fixes and code refactoring.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (commit id 3fb001303718146)

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Import the current version of netmap, aligned with the one on github.

This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years
from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including:
+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code
+ various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX
parameters, and private and public variables)

We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally
equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.

Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree.
This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:

- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
(the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
in parallel with the application)

- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)

- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
(ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl

- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules

- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)

- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
to access rings and remove duplicate code,

Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).

Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

When a netmap process terminates without the full set of buffers it
was granted via rings and ni_bufs_list_head represented in those rings
and lists (e.g., via SIGKILL), those buffers are no longer available
for subsequent users for the lifetime of the system. To mitigate this
resource leak, reset the allocator state when the last ref to that
allocator is released.

Note that this only recovers leaked resources for an allocator when
there are no longer any users of that allocator, so there remain
circumstances in which leaked allocator resources may not ever be
recovered - consider a set of multiple netmap processes that are all
using the same allocator (say, the global allocator) where members of
that set may be killed and restarted over time but at any given point
there is one member of that set running.

Based on intial work by adrian@.

Update to the current version of netmap.
Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.

Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).

In detail:

1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.

2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial

3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.

4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.

5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).

A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.

Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.

This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.

A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.
