that if we sort the incoming SACK blocks, we can update the scoreboard
in one pass of the scoreboard. The added overhead of sorting upto 4
sack blocks is much lower than traversing (potentially) large
scoreboards multiple times. The code was updating the scoreboard with
multiple passes over it (once for each sack option). The rewrite fixes
that, reducing the complexity of the main loop from O(n^2) to O(n).

or to compute the total retransmitted bytes in this sack recovery
episode, the scoreboard is traversed. While in sack recovery, this
traversal occurs on every call to tcp_output(), every dupack and
every partial ack. The scoreboard could potentially get quite large,
making this traversal expensive.
This change optimizes this by storing hints (for the next hole to
retransmit and the total retransmitted bytes in this sack recovery
episode) reducing the complexity to find these values from O(n) to
constant time.
The debug code that sanity checks the hints against the computed
value will be removed eventually.

this can greatly reduce contention on the tcbinfo lock.
NB: Ambiguities about the state of so_pcb need to be resolved so that
all use of the tcbinfo lock in non-implicit connection cases can be
eliminated.

Use this to allow ipfw to pullup only these values since it does not use
the rest of the packet and it was failed on ICMP packets because they
were not long enough.
struct icmp should probably be modified to use these at some point, but
that will break a fair bit of code so it can wait for another day.
On the off chance that adding this struct breaks something in ports,
bump __FreeBSD_version.

If TCP Signatures are enabled, the maximum allowed sack blocks aren't
going to fit. The fix is to compute how many sack blocks fit and tack
these on last. Also on SYNs, defer padding until after the SACK
PERMITTED option has been added.

ICMP PMTU messages belonging to an active TCP session with
the correct src/dst/port and sequence number will update the
hostcache and complete the path MTU discovery process.
Note that we don't entirely implement the recommended counter
measures of Section 7.2 of the paper. However we close down
the possible degradation vector from trivially easy to really
complex and resource intensive. In addition we have limited
the smallest acceptable MTU with net.inet.tcp.minmss sysctl
for some time already, further reducing the effect of any
degradation due to an attack.
