Revert r212370, as it causes a LOR on powerpc. powerpc does a few
unexpected things in copyout(9) and so wiring the user buffer is not
sufficient to perform a copyout(9) while holding a random mutex.
Allow a kernel config to specify a set but empty value via
'makeoptions OPTION=' for consistency with the make commandline.
Previously 'makeoptions WERROR=' would result in a syntax error; now
it produces the same effect as 'makeoptions WERROR'. Both forms now
result in 'WERROR=' in the generated Makefile.

Fix a subtle bug uncovered by the recent one-shot timer import in which
any spin locks acquired between the enabling of interrupts in
machdep_ap_bootstrap() and the invocation of the scheduler would fail to
have interrupts disabled due to the fake spinlock already held by the
idle thread. sched_throw(NULL) will enable interrupts by itself when
exiting this spinlock, so just let it do that and don't enable interrupts
here.
Add G_TYPE_MULTI flag, which when set for the given option, will
allow the option to be specified multiple times. This will help to
implement things like passing multiple keyfiles to geli(8) instead of
cat(1)ing them all into stdin and reading from there using one '-k -'
option.
- Remove gc_argname field. It was introduced for gpart(8), but if I
understand everything correctly, we don't really need it.
- Provide default numeric value as strings. This allows to simplify
a lot of code.
- Bump version number.
- Remove sync from msgrng_send, sync needs to be called just once before
sending.
- Fix retry logic - don't reload registers when retrying in message_send,
also fix check for send pending fail.
- remove unused message_send_block_fast()
- merge message_receive_fast() to message_receive
- style(9) fixes, and comments
- rge and nlge updated for the sys/mips/rmi/msgring.h changes
acpi_cpu: do not apply P_LVLx_LAT rules to latencies returned by _CST
ACPI specification sates that if P_LVL2_LAT > 100, then a system doesn't
support C2; if P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, then C3 is not supported.
But there are no such rules for Cx state data returned by _CST. If a
state is not supported it should not be included into the return
package. In other words, any latency value returned by _CST is valid,
it's up to the OS and/or user to decide whether to use it.
bus_add_child: add specialized default implementation that calls panic
If a kobj method doesn't have any explicitly provided default
implementation, then it is auto-assigned kobj_error_method.
kobj_error_method is proper only for methods that return error code,
because it just returns ENXIO.
So, in the case of unimplemented bus_add_child caller would get
(device_t)ENXIO as a return value, which would cause the mistake to go
unnoticed, because return value is typically checked for NULL.
Thus, a specialized null_add_child is added. It would have sufficied
for correctness to return NULL, but this type of mistake was deemed to
be rare and serious enough to call panic instead.
Watch out for this kind of problem with other kobj methods.
Refactor timer management code with priority to one-shot operation mode.
The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

Use MACHINE_CPUARCH as appropriate
Define __KLD_SHARED to be yes or no depending on if the target uses shared
binaries for klds or not (this also eliminates 4 uses of MACHINE_ARCH).
The functions in sys/mips/mips/psraccess.S can be implemented with
mips_rd_status/mips_wr_status. Implement them in mips/include/cpufunc.h,
and remove psraccess.S.
Merge from tbemd, with a small amount of rework:
For all libthr contexts, use ${MACHINE_CPUARCH}
for all libc contexts, use ${MACHINE_ARCH} if it exists, otherwise use
${MACHINE_CPUARCH}
Move some common code up a layer (the .PATH statement was the same in
all the arch submakefiles).
Merge from tbemd:
Add directory names directly and sort at the end.
Include bsd.arch.inc.mk so we can, in the future, more easily make arch
dependent changes in /bin (unlikely, but is needed for symmetry).
Use TARGET_CPUARCH instead of TARGET_ARCH here. Define TARGET_CPUARCH
based on TARGET_ARCH. Use TARGET_ARCH still for a powerpc64 test.
Futureproof for coming mipsel/mipseb and arm/armeb rename.
Do not fork nfsiod directly from the vop methods. This causes LORs between
vnode lock and several locks needed during fork, like fd lock.
Instead, schedule the task to be executed in the taskqueue context. We
still waiting for the fork to finish, but the context of the thread
executing the task does not make real LORs with our vnode lock.

Check for undefined weak symbols during PLT binding on powerpc64, and do
not attempt to copy NULL function descriptors. This fixes LD_BIND_NOW on
powerpc64 after r211706.
List low-level Blowfish ECB module in the SRCS. It looks like it was dropped
by accident (and it would be inconvenient to implement it otherwise because it
uses internal non-published headers).
Revamp locking a bit. This fixes three problems:
* processes now can't go away while we are inserting probes (fixes a panic)
* if a trap happens, we won't be holding the process lock (fixes a hang)
* fix a LOR between the process lock and the fasttrap bucket list lock
Thanks to kib for pointing some problems.

Mentions cases when bwi(4) driver should be used that it only wrote
about chipset type instead of card names because it's not easy to sort
names what cards use these chipsets.
Merge some SCHED_ULE features to SCHED_4BSD:
- Teach SCHED_4BSD to inform cpu_idle() about high sleep/wakeup rate to
choose optimized handler. In case of x86 it is MONITOR/MWAIT. Also it
will be needed to bypass forthcoming idle tick skipping logic to not
consume resources on events rescheduling when it won't give any benefits.
- Teach SCHED_4BSD to wake up idle CPUs without using IPI. In case of x86,
when MONITOR/MWAIT is active, it require just single memory write. This
doubles performance on some heavily switching test loads.
This patch applies one of the two fixes suggested by
zack.kirsch at isilon.com for a race between nfsrv_freeopen()
and nfsrv_getlockfile() in the experimental NFS server that
he found during testing. Although nfsrv_freeopen() holds a
sleep lock on the lock file structure when called with
cansleep != 0, nfsrv_getlockfile() could still search the
list, once it acquired the NFSLOCKSTATE() mutex. I believe
that acquiring the mutex in nfsrv_freeopen() fixes the race.
Fix the NFSVNO_CMPFH() macro in the experimental NFS server so
that it works correctly for ZFS file handles. It is possible to
have two ZFS file handles that differ only in the bytes in the
fid_reserved field of the generic "struct fid" and comparing the
bytes in fid_data didn't catch this case. This patch changes the
macro to compare all bytes of "struct fid".
"freebsd-update fetch -r NEWRELEASE" is meaningless and probably a typo

Replace sbuf_overflowed() with sbuf_error(), which returns any error
code associated with overflow or with the drain function. While this
function is not expected to be used often, it produces more information
in the form of an errno that sbuf_overflowed() did.
Add bsd.dtrace.mk. This allows userland programs and libraries to
define USDT probes on a provider.d file and then use this new make
infrastructure to build the corresponding header file and object file.
This will only take effect when the user defines WITH_DTRACE when building.
Check the existence of a 'beforelinking' target and make the resulting
program or library depend on that before doing the final linking. This
will be needed by DTrace.

MFp4 (//depot/projects/mps/...)
Bring in a driver for the LSI Logic MPT2 6Gb SAS controllers.
This driver supports basic I/O, and works with SAS and SATA drives and
expanders.
Basic error recovery works (i.e. timeouts and aborts) as well.
Integrated RAID isn't supported yet, and there are some known bugs.
So this isn't ready for production use, but is certainly ready for
testing and additional development. For the moment, new commits to this
driver should go into the FreeBSD Perforce repository first
(//depot/projects/mps/...) and then get merged into -current once
they've been vetted.
This has only been added to the amd64 GENERIC, since that is the only
architecture I have tested this driver with.
