Add a current_time_now() function which gets an immediate monotonic
timestamp instead of using the cached value from the event loop. This is
useful for callers that need precise times, such as the Babel RTT
measurement code.

There were several requests to allow use of 240.0.0.0/4 as a private
range, and Linux kernel already allows such routes, so perhaps we can
allow that too.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat and others for suggestion and patches.
Alignment of slabs should be at least sizeof(ptr) to avoid unaligned
pointers in slab structures. Fixme: Use proper way to choose alignment
for internal allocators.
Attach a prefix trie to IP/VPN/ROA tables. Use it for net_route() and
net_roa_check(). This leads to 3-5x speedups for IPv4 and 5-10x
speedup for IPv6 of these calls.
TODO:
- Rebuild the trie during rt_prune_table()
- Better way to avoid trie_add_prefix() in net_get() for existing tables
- Make it configurable (?)
Add option to socket interface for nonlocal binding, i.e. binding to an
IP address that is not present on interfaces. This behaviour is enabled
when SKF_FREEBIND socket flag is set. For Linux systems, it is
implemented by IP_FREEBIND socket flag.

This feature is intended mostly for checking that BIRD's allocation
strategies don't consume much memory space. There are some cases where
withdrawing routes in a specific order lead to memory fragmentation and
this output should give the user at least a notion of how much memory is
actually used for data storage and how much memory is "just allocated"
or used for overhead.
Also raising the "system allocator overhead estimation" from 8 to 16
bytes; it is probably even more. I've found 16 as a local minimum in
best scenarios among reachable machines. I couldn't find any reasonable
method to estimate this value when BIRD starts up.
This commit also fixes the inaccurate computation of memory overhead for
slabs where the "system allocater overhead estimation" was improperly
added to the size of mmap-ed memory.
We can also quite simply allocate bigger blocks. Anyway, we need these
blocks to be aligned to their size which needs one mmap() two times
bigger and then two munmap()s returning the unaligned parts.
The user can specify -B <N> on startup when <N> is the exponent of 2,
setting the block size to 2^N. On most systems, N is 12, anyway if you
know that your configuration is going to eat gigabytes of RAM, you are
almost forced to raise your block size as you may easily get into memory
fragmentation issues or you have to raise your maximum mapping count,
e.g. "sysctl vm.max_map_count=(number)".
Use 16-way (4bit) branching in prefix trie instead of basic binary
branching. The change makes IPv4 prefix sets almost 3x faster, but
with more memory consumption and much more complicated algorithm.
Together with a previous filter change, it makes IPv4 prefix sets
about ~4.3x faster and slightly smaller (on my test data).
Add support for specifying a password in hexadecimal format, The result
is the same whether a password is specified as a quoted string or a
hex-encoded byte string, this just makes it more convenient to input
high-entropy byte strings as MAC keys.
Import the blake2-kat.h header with test vector output from the blake
reference implementation, and add tests to mac_test.c to compare the
output of the Bird MAC algorithm implementations with that reference
output.
Since the reference implementation only has test vectors for the full
output size, there are no tests for the smaller-sized output variants.
The Babel MAC authentication RFC recommends implementing Blake2s as one of
the supported algorithms. In order to achieve do this, add the blake2b and
blake2s hash functions for MAC authentication. The hashing function
implementations are the reference implementations from blake2.net.
The Blake2 algorithms allow specifying an arbitrary output size, and the
Babel MAC spec says to implement Blake2s with 128-bit output. To satisfy
this, we add two different variants of each of the algorithms, one using
the default size (256 bits for Blake2s, 512 bits for Blake2b), and one
using half the default output size.
Update to BIRD coding style done by committer.
Add a wrapper function in sysdep to get random bytes, and required checks
in configure.ac to select how to do it. The configure script tries, in
order, getrandom(), getentropy() and reading from /dev/urandom.
When an interface disappears, all the neighbors are freed as well. Seqno
requests were anyway not decoupled from them, leading to strange
segfaults. This fix adds a proper seqno request list inside neighbors to
make sure that no pointer to neighbor is kept after free.
For numeric operators, comma is used for disjunction in expressions like
"10, 20, 30..40". But for bitmask operators, comma is used for
conjunction in a way that does not really make much sense. Use always
explicit logical operators (&& and ||) to connect bitmask operators.

Add support to set or read outgoing MPLS labels using filters. Currently
this supports the addition of one label per route for the first next hop.

Implement function flow_explicate_part() to convert flowspec numeric
expressions to a simple list of (disjoint, sorted) intervals. That could
be used in filters to build f_tree-based int-sets from them.
The code in tm_format_real_time() mixed up two buffers and their
sizes, which may cause crash in MRT dumping code.
Thanks to Piotr Wydrych for the bugreport.
