 1.14  20-Aug-2025  joe PR bin/59511

when extracting variables for filtering in NPF, allow the handler to
recursively extract all variables that might be present in the parent variable
to fully get all the filter elements present in them. this issue poses a security risk
as intruders can find their way into your machine if you intend to block them
but have their IPs in a nested variable with other IPs as well.

so this needs to be pulled up to 9, 10, 11


this fix has been reviewed by christos@ and martin@ and tests have been included.

 1.11  31-May-2025  joe Userland: npf rule parser for user and group id
 1.10  30-May-2020  rmind branches: 1.10.8;
Major NPF improvements (merge from upstream):

- Switch to the C11-style atomic primitives using atomic_loadstore(9).

- npfkern: introduce the 'state.key.interface' and 'state.key.direction'
settings. Users can now choose whether the connection state should be
strictly per-interface or global at the configuration level. Keep NAT
logic to be always per-interface, though.

- npfkern: rewrite the G/C worker logic and make it self-tuning.

- npfkern and libnpf: multiple bug fixes; add param exporting; introduce
more parameters. Remove npf_nvlist_{copyin,copyout}() functions and
refactor npfctl_load_nvlist() with others; add npfctl_run_op() to have
a single entry point for operations. Introduce npf_flow_t and clean up
some code.

- npfctl: lots of fixes for the 'npfctl show' logic; make 'npfctl list'
more informative; misc usability improvements and more user-friendly
error messages.

- Amend and improve the manual pages.
 1.9  29-Sep-2018  rmind branches: 1.9.2;
NPF: Major rework -- migrate NPF to the libnv library.
- This conversion significantly simplifies the code and moves NPF to
a binary serialisation format (replacing the XML-like format).
- Fix some memory/reference leaks and possibly use-after-free bugs.
- Bump NPF_VERSION as this change makes libnpf incompatible with the
previous versions. Also, different serialisation format means NPF
connection/config saving and loading is not compatible with the
previous versions either.

Thanks to christos@ for extra testing.
 1.8  19-Nov-2013  rmind branches: 1.8.24; 1.8.26;
Simplify parsing of npf.conf elements, create the npfvar_t when a value is
parsed (to be used as a general structured for variables and inlined values),
few misc improvements.
 1.7  19-Sep-2013  rmind - Convert NPF to use BPF byte-code by default. Compile BPF byte-code in
npfctl(8) and generate separate marks to describe the filter criteria.
- Rewrite 'npfctl show' functionality and fix some of the bugs.
- npftest: add a test for BPF COP.
- Bump NPF_VERSION.
 1.6  26-Nov-2012  rmind npfctl: extend syntax for extracting interface IP address(es) by the family.
 1.5  28-Oct-2012  rmind Fix for npfctl show case. Improve some description while here.
 1.4  16-Sep-2012  rmind Implement dynamic NPF extensions interface. An extension consists of
dynamically loaded module (.so) supplementing npfctl(8) and a kernel
module. Move normalisation and logging functionality into their own
extensions. More improvements to come.

teach npf ipv6-icmp
reviewed by rmind@
 1.2  26-Feb-2012  christos branches: 1.2.2;
- make each element of a variable hold a type
- change get_type to take an index, so we can get the individual types of
each element (since primitive elements can be in lists)
- make port_range primitive
- add a routine to convert a variable of primitives to a variable containing
- only port ranges.
 1.1  08-Jan-2012  rmind branches: 1.1.2;
Full rewrite of npfctl(8) parser and rework of n-code generation part.
Fixes most of the known bugs and issues with the utility. Note: rule
procedures are not yet (as we want to make them fully modular).

Huge thanks to Martin Husemann who wrote the parser and Christos Zoulas
who wrote intermediate structures and helped to complete the work.

ext_ops does not change during the life cycle and can be fetched without

variable ext_ops.

Major NPF improvements (merge from upstream):
- Switch to the C11-style atomic primitives using atomic_loadstore(9).
- npfkern: introduce the 'state.key.interface' and 'state.key.direction'
settings. Users can now choose whether the connection state should be
strictly per-interface or global at the configuration level. Keep NAT
logic to be always per-interface, though.
- npfkern: rewrite the G/C worker logic and make it self-tuning.
- npfkern and libnpf: multiple bug fixes; add param exporting; introduce
more parameters. Remove npf_nvlist_{copyin,copyout}() functions and
refactor npfctl_load_nvlist() with others; add npfctl_run_op() to have
a single entry point for operations. Introduce npf_flow_t and clean up
some code.
- npfctl: lots of fixes for the 'npfctl show' logic; make 'npfctl list'
more informative; misc usability improvements and more user-friendly
error messages.
- Amend and improve the manual pages.

npf_worker_sys{init,fini}: initialize/destroy the exit_cv condvar.

npftest -- npf_test_init(): add a workaround for NetBSD.

npf-params(7): fix the state.key defaults.

npf-params.7: s/filer/filter/

Adjust to "npfctl debug" command line changes, from rmind@.

Use more markup.
