IPFilter 5 and compiled access lists

I've been back to Freebsd lately, and using freebsd10 rc2.

I noticed an option to compile access lists into the kernel module for ipfilter.  I got it to work, but thought I'd note down how ...

firstly the kernel doesn't know the option to compile access lists so add this instead

makeoptions     CFLAGS+=-DIPFILTER_COMPILED

or you could add to /etc/make.conf

now, take your ruleset in a file and create ip_rules.c and ip_rules.h  by doing this

/sbin/ipf -n -cc -f <filename>

copy them into 

/usr/src/sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet

edit ip_rules.c and take out the if statement for NetBSD by deleting

#if (__NetBSD_Version__ >= 399000000)
#else

then, if you have in and out rules, there is a bug in generating the ip_rules.c , work around it by adding

frentry_t *ipf_rules_out_[1] = {
        (frentry_t *)&out_rule__0
};

and adjust [1] to the amount of rules you have.

then compile the kernel as normal and install it, load the module and you should see something in dmesg like

IP Filter: v5.1.2 initialized.  Default = pass all, Logging = enabled (COMPILED)
