Remove a check in udp6_send() that prevented v4-mapped v6 addresses from
working. We store v4 and v6 addresses as a union but for v4-mapped
addresses only store the 32bits w/o the ::ffff: word. That failed the
check as for example 127.0.0.1 would be ::7f00:1 rather than ::ffff:7f00:1
and the IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED() never worked here. Given we can hardly get
here with an unbound local address or invalid inp_vflags remove the check.

After r219579 and r219779 unbreak v4-mapped v6 sockets for UDP
some more. Similar to what we do for TCP check for v4-mapped
addresses and then handle them or the normal v6 address case.
For either set inp_vflags before calling into the pcb connect
function so that we have an unambiguous view in case we need to
set the local address or port.

Remove setting of PCB_FULL_IRET at the places where we are going to call
update_gdt_{f,g}sbase. The functions set the flag when td == curthread,
and sysarch is always called with curthread.
Disable local interrupts before testing the PCB_FULL_IRET flag.
Thread might be preempted after testing, which causes the flag to be
cleared. If ast was not delivered, we will do sysret with potentially
wrong fs/gs bases.
Reintroduce the fix already discussed in r216805 (please check its history
for a detailed explanation of the problems).
The only difference with the previous fix is in Solution2:
CPUBLOCK is no longer set when exiting from callout_reset_*() functions,
which avoid the deadlock (leading to r217161).
There is no need to CPUBLOCK there because the running-and-migrating
assumption is strong enough to avoid problems there.
Furthermore add a better !SMP compliancy (leading to shrinked code and
structures) and facility macros/functions.
- Add kern.cam.ada.X.write_cache tunables/sysctls to control write caching
on per-device basis.
- While adding support for per-device sysctls, merge from graid branch
support for ADA_TEST_FAILURE kernel option, which opens few more sysctl,
allowing to simulate read and write errors for testing purposes.
Fix a bug in the previous change to restore the fast path for syscall
return. The ast() function may cause a context switch in which case
PCB_FULL_IRET would be set in the pcb. However, the code was not
rechecking the flag after ast() returned and would not properly restore
the FSBASE and GSBASE MSRs. To fix, recheck the PCB_FULL_IRET flag after
ast() returns.
While here, trim an instruction (and memory access) from the doreti path
and fix a typo in a comment.
When specifying the -t option (send tag in front of message), this tag
should also be forwarded to the remote logging host, not only when the

Add initial support for MIMO statistics to net80211.
This introduces struct ieee80211_rx_stats - which stores the various kinds
of RX statistics which a MIMO and non-MIMO 802.11 device can export.
It also fleshes out the mimo export to userland (node_getmimoinfo()).
It assumes that MIMO radios (for now) export both ctl and ext channels.
Non-11n MIMO radios are possible (and I believe Atheros made at least
one), so if that chipset support is added, extra flags to the
struct ieee80211_rx_stats can be added to extend this support.
Two new input functions have been added - ieee80211_input_mimo() and
ieee80211_input_mimo_all() - which MIMO-aware devices can call with
MIMO specific statistics.
802.11 devices calling the non-MIMO input functions will still function.

Begin fleshing out a public HAL routine to export the per-chain
ctl/ext noise floor values.
This routine doesn't check to see whether the radio is MIMO
capable - instead, it simply returns either the raw values,
the "nominal" values if the raw values aren't yet available
or are invalid, or '0' values if there's no valid channel/
no valid MIMO values.
Callers are expected to verify the radio is a MIMO radio
(which for now means it's an 11n chipset, there are non-11n
MIMO chipsets out there but I don't think we support them,
at least in MIMO mode) before exporting the MIMO values.

Export the per-chain ctl/ext noise floor values, raw and uncut, to the
upper-level HAL.
Right now the per-chain noise floor values aren't used anywhere in
the upper-level HAL, so the driver currently has no real reference
to compare the per-chain RSSI values to.
This is needed before per-chain RSSI values (for ctl and ext radios)
are can be thrown upstairs to the net80211 code.
Use atomic load & store for TSC frequency. It may be overkill for amd64 but
safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).
If a system call does not request a full interrupt return, use a fast
path via the sysretq instruction to return from the system call. This was
removed in 190620 and not quite fully restored in 195486. This resolves
most of the performance regression in system call microbenchmarks between
7 and 8 on amd64.

Implement atomic_load_acq_64(9) and atomic_store_rel_64(9) for i386. These
functions are implemented with CMPXCHG8B instruction where it is available,
i. e., all Pentium-class and later processors. Note this instruction is
also used for atomic_store_rel_64() because a simple XCHG-like instruction
for 64-bit memory access does not exist, unfortunately. If the processor
lacks the instruction, i. e., 80486-class CPUs, two 32-bit load/store are
performed with interrupt temporarily disabled, assuming it does not support
SMP. Although this assumption may be little naive, it is true in reality.
This implementation is inspired by Linux.
Complete WITHOUT_CXX support. It implies WITHOUT_GROFF and
WITHOUT_CLANG.
Don't build clang bootstrap/build-tools depending on this flag. We also
keep gperf, devd and libstdc++ around to prevent foot-shooting and to
make this a two-way street.
This fixes a long standing bug in mxge(4) where "ifconfig mxge0 $IP"

Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
applications depend on it.
Important update for the igb driver:
- Add the change made in em to the actual unrefreshed number
of descriptors is used as a basis in rxeof on the way out
to determine if more refresh is needed. NOTE: there is a
difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.
- Change the sysctl handling of flow control, it will now make
the change dynamically when the variable setting changes rather
than requiring a reset.
- Change the eee sysctl naming, validation found the old unintuitive :)
- Last but not least, some important performance tweaks in the TX
path, I found that UDP behavior could be drastically hindered or
improved with just small changes in the start loop. What I have
here is what testing has shown to be the best overall. Its interesting
to note that changing the clean threshold to start at a full half of
the ring, made a BIG difference in performance. I hope that this
will prove to be advantageous for most workloads.
Be far more persistent in reclaiming blocks and inodes before giving
up and declaring a filesystem out of space. Especially necessary when
running on a small filesystem. With this improvement, it should be
possible to use soft updates on a small root filesystem.

* Add the readline(3) API to libedit. The libedit versions of
{readline,history}.h are in /usr/include/edit so as to not conflict with
the GNU libreadline versions. To use the libedit readline(3) one should

* Enable its use in the BSD licensed utilities that support readline(3).
* To make it easier to sync libedit development with NetBSD, histedit.h
is moved into libedit's directory as history shows shown we keep merging
it into that location.
Lower the bar for ACPI-fast on real machines slightly. Empirical evidences
show that there are perfectly working PM timers with occasional "hiccups",
probably because of an SMI. Now we ignore the maximum if it happens once in
the test loop and the width is small enough. Also, relax normal width a bit
to count in a boundary case.
Add initial jumbo frame support for BCM5714/BCM5715 and BCM5780.
Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.
Add the ability to manage the state of write caching when the battery
back-up is missing or dead. The current state of this field is reported
in 'mfiutil cache <volume>' and can be adjusted via
'mfiutil cache <volume> bad-bbu-write-cache <enable|disable>'. This
setting should generally be disabled to avoid data loss.
Extend the DDB command "watchdog" with the ability to specify a timeout
value.
The timeout is expressed in the form T(N) = (2^N * nanoseconds) and can
be easilly extracted from the watchdog interface as a WD_TO_* macro.
That new functionality is supposed to fix re-entering the kernel from DDB
re-enabling the watchdog again (previously disabled) and also offer the
possibility to break for deadlocked DDB commands.
Please note that retro-compatibility is retained.

if_arge has had a strange bug that only appears during high traffic
levels. TX would hang, RX wouldn't. A bit of digging showed the interface
send queue was full, but IFF_DRV_OACTIVE was clear and the hardware TX
queue was empty.
It turns out that there wasn't a check to drain the interface send
queue once hardware TX had completed, so if the interface send queue
had filled up in the meantime, subsequent packets would be dropped
by the higher layers and if_start (and thus arge_start()) would never
be called.
The fix is simple - call arge_start_locked() in the software interrupt
handler after the hardware TX queue has been handled or a TX underrun
occured. This way the interface send queue gets drained.
Use cpu_ticks() for get_cyclecount(9) rather than checking existence of TSC
at run-time on i386. cpu_ticks() is set to use RDTSC early enough on i386
where it is available. Otherwise, cpu_ticks() is driven by the current
timecounter hardware as binuptime(9) does. This also avoids unnecessary
namespace pollution from <machine/cputypes.h>.
Build boot2 with -mregparm=3, ie. pass upto 3 arguments via registers.
This modifies CFLAGS and tweaks sio.S to use the new calling convention.
The sio_init() and sio_putc() prototypes are modified so that other

This makes the code smaller when compiled with clang.

Lower the bar for ACPI-fast on virtual machines. The current logic depends

It is virtually always false for hardware emulation and it makes no sense to

Add a HAL capability bit for supporting self-linked RX descriptors and disable it for the 11n chipsets.
From the ath9k source:

11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor.
MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host
buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets
to a sender if last desc is self-linked.

via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support
in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.
