The swap pager is compatible with direct dispatch. It does its own
locking and doesn't sleep. Flag the consumer we create as such. In
addition, decrement the in flight index when we have an out of memory
error after having incremented it previously. This would have
prevented swapoff from working if the swap pager ever hit a resource
shortage trying to swap out something (the swap in path always waits
for a bio, so won't have this issue). Simplify the close logic by
abandoning the use of private and initializing the index to 1 and
dropping that reference when we previously set private.
Also, set sw_id only while sw_dev_mtx is held. This should only affect
swapping to a vnode, as opposed to a geom whose close always sets it to
NULL with sw_dev_mtx held.

Allow us to set the console device tree node. This is needed as not all
vendor supplied device trees contain the needed properties for us to select
the correct uart to use as the kernel console.
An example of this would be to add the following to loader.conf.
hw.fdt.console="/smb/uart@f7113000"
The intention of this is slightly different than the existing
hw.uart.console option. The new option will mean the boot serial
configuration will be derived from the device node, while the existing
option expects the user to configure all this themselves.
Further work is planned to allow the uart configuration to be set based on
the stdout-path property devicetree bindings.

Certain VM guest types (VMware, Xen) do not support MSI, so pci_alloc_msix()
always fails. isci(4) was not properly detecting the allocation failure,
and would try to proceed with MSIx resource initialization rather than
reverting to INTx.

BIOS always enables PCI busmaster on the isci device, which effectively
worked around this omission. But when passing the isci device through
to a guest VM, the hypervisor will disable busmaster and isci will not
work without calling pci_enable_busmaster().
In the pthread_once(), if the initializer has already run, then the
calling thread is supposed to see accesses issued by the initializer.
This means that the read of the once_control->state variable should
have an acquire semantic. Use atomic_thread_fence_acq() when the
value read is ONCE_DONE, instead of straightforward atomic_load_acq(),
to only put a barrier when needed (*).
On the other hand, the updates of the once_control->state with the
intermediate progress state do not need to synchronize with other
state accesses, remove _acq suffix.

fd: make the common case in filecaps_copy work lockless
The filedesc lock is only needed if ioctls caps are present, which is a
rare situation. This is a step towards reducing the scope of the filedesc
lock.
As expected, things aren't as simple as hoped. Consequently, we have
no option but to use the smbios information to fill in the blanks.
It's a good thing UGA is a protocol of the past and GOP has all the
info we need.
Anyway, the logic has been tweaked a little to get the easier bits
of information up front. This includes the resolution and the frame
buffer address. Then we look at the smbios information and define
expected values as well as the missing bits (frame buffer offset and
stride). If the values obtained match the expect values, we fill in
the blanks and return. Otherwise we use the existing detection logic
to figure it out.
Rename the environment variables from uga_framebuffer abd uga_stride

Move setting of media parameters inside open routines.
This is preparation for possibility to open/close media several times
per LUN life cycle. While there, rename variables to reduce confusion.
As additional bonus this allows to open read-only media, such as ZFS

Track changes to kern.maxvnodes and appropriately increase or decrease
the size of the name cache hash table (mapping file names to vnodes)

An appropriate locking strategy is the key to changing hash table sizes
while they are in active use.
Auto-detect the UGA frame buffer and stride on a MacBook. We're

box... for now...
Eliminate pointless requeueing of pages from terminated objects. These

o Unlike xor, in Jenkins hash every bit of input affects virtually
every bit of output, thus salting the hash actually works. With
xor salting only provides a false sense of security, since if
hash(x) collides with hash(y), then of course, hash(x) ^ salt
would also collide with hash(y) ^ salt. [1]
o Jenkins provides much better distribution than xor, very close to
ideal.
TCP connection setup/teardown benchmark has shown a 10% increase
with default hash size, and with bigger hashes that still provide
possibility for collisions. With enormous hash size, when dataset is
by an order of magnitude smaller than hash size, the benchmark has
shown 4% decrease in performance decrease, which is expected and
acceptable.

Constantify lookup key in ifa_ifwith* functions.
Some places in our network stack already have const
arguments (like if_output() routines and LLE functions).
Code using ifa_ifwith (and similar functins) along with
LLE/_output functions is currently bound to use tricks
like __DECONST(). Provide a cleaner way by making sockaddr

My MacBook has UGA only, but we fail to detect any changes
in the frame buffer when we flip pixels. Allow the detection
to be bypassed by setting the uga_framebuffer and uga_stride
variables. The kernel console works fine even when we can't
detect pixel changes in the frame buffer, which indicates
that the problem could be with reading from the frame buffer
and not writing to it.

Detect badly behaved coredump note helpers
Coredump notes depend on being able to invoke dump routines twice; once
in a dry-run mode to get the size of the note, and another to actually
emit the note to the corefile.
When a note helper emits a different length section the second time
around than the length it requested the first time, the kernel produces
a corrupt coredump.
NT_PROCSTAT_FILES output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' fd table
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move around during dump, this is racy.
So:
- Detect badly behaved notes in putnote() and pad underfilled notes.
- Add a fail point, debug.fail_point.fill_kinfo_vnode__random_path to
exercise the NT_PROCSTAT_FILES corruption. It simply picks random
lengths to expand or truncate paths to in fo_fill_kinfo_vnode().
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_fileinfo, to allow users to
disable kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_FILES notes. This should avoid
both FILES note corruption and truncation, even if filenames change,
at the cost of about 1 kiB in padding bloat per open fd. Document
the new sysctl in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_files to self-limit in the 2nd pass. Since
sometimes this will result in a short write, pad up to our advertised
size. This addresses note corruption, at the risk of sometimes
truncating the last several fd info entries.
- Fix NT_PROCSTAT_FILES consumers libutil and libprocstat to grok the
zero padding.
Currently the Linux character device mmap handling only supports mmap
operations that map a single page that has an associated vm_page_t.
This does not permit mapping larger regions (such as a PCI memory
BAR) and it does not permit mapping addresses beyond the top of RAM
(such as a 64-bit BAR located above the top of RAM).
Instead of using a single OBJT_DEVICE object and passing the physaddr via
the offset as a hack, create a new sglist and OBJT_SG object for each
mmap request. The requested memory attribute is applied to the object
thus affecting all pages mapped by the request.
r249170 was just plain wrong. The effect of the change is to always
delete a logic volume on status change which is NOT what we want here.
The original code is correct in that when the volume changes status
the driver will only delete the volume if the status is one of the
fatal errors. A drive failure in a mirrored volume is NOT a situtation
where the volume should dissapear.
