Remove reference to non-existent kern_openat(9).

291653:
The cdevpriv_dtr_t typedef was not able to be used in a function prototype
like the various d_*_t typedefs since it declared a function pointer rather
than a function. Add a new d_priv_dtor_t typedef that declares the function
and can be used as a function prototype. The previous typedef wasn't
useful outside of the cdevpriv implementation, so retire it.

The name d_priv_dtor_t was chosen to be more consistent with cdev methods
since it is commonly used in place of d_close_t even though it is not a
direct pointer in struct cdevsw.

functional_test.sh was ported from bin/sh/tests/functional_test.sh, as a

A handful of testcases in lib/libarchive/tests have been disabled as they
were failing when run with kyua test (see BROKEN_TESTS in
lib/libarchive/tests/Makefile)

As a sidenote: this removes the check/test targets from the Makefiles as they

Add support for reading MAM attributes to camcontrol(8) and libcam(3).

MAM is Medium Auxiliary Memory and is most commonly found as flash
chips on tapes.

This includes support for reading attributes and decoding most
known attributes, but does not yet include support for writing
attributes or reporting attributes in XML format.

libsbuf/Makefile:
Add subr_prf.c for the new sbuf_hexdump() function. This
function is essentially the same function.

libsbuf/Symbol.map:
Add a new shared library minor version, and include the
sbuf_hexdump() function.

libsbuf/Version.def:
Add version 1.4 of the libsbuf library.

libutil/hexdump.3:
Document sbuf_hexdump() alongside hexdump(3), since it is
essentially the same function.

camcontrol/Makefile:
Add attrib.c.

camcontrol/attrib.c:
Implementation of READ ATTRIBUTE support for camcontrol(8).

camcontrol/camcontrol.8:
Document the new 'camcontrol attrib' subcommand.

camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Add the new 'camcontrol attrib' subcommand.

camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Add a function prototype for scsiattrib().

share/man/man9/sbuf.9:
Document the existence of sbuf_hexdump() and point users to
the hexdump(3) man page for more details.

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add a table of known attributes, text descriptions and
handler functions.

Add a new scsi_attrib_sbuf() function along with a number
of other related functions that help decode attributes.

scsi_attrib_ascii_sbuf() decodes ASCII format attributes.

scsi_attrib_int_sbuf() decodes binary format attributes, and
will pass them off to scsi_attrib_hexdump_sbuf() if they're
bigger than 8 bytes.

scsi_attrib_vendser_sbuf() decodes the vendor and drive
serial number attribute.

scsi_attrib_volcoh_sbuf() decodes the Volume Coherency
Information attribute that LTFS writes out.

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add a number of attribute-related structure definitions and
other defines.

Add function prototypes for all of the functions added in
scsi_all.c.

sys/kern/subr_prf.c:
Add a new function, sbuf_hexdump(). This is the same as
the existing hexdump(9) function, except that it puts the
result in an sbuf.

This also changes subr_prf.c so that it can be compiled in
userland for includsion in libsbuf.

We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.

We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently
separate. This would also mean making applications that
currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.

sys/sys/sbuf.h:
Add the prototype for sbuf_hexdump(), and add another copy
of the hexdump flag values if they aren't already defined.

Ideally the flags should be defined in one place but the
implemenation makes it difficult to do properly. (See
above.)

MFC r275358 r275483 r276982 - Removing M_FLOWID by hps@

r275358:
Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.

"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

r275483:
Remove M_FLOWID from SCTP code.

r276982:
Remove no longer used "M_FLOWID" flag from mbuf.h and update the netisr
manpage.

Note: The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Nuke the never-used RF_TIMESHARE feature, reducing the complexity of the
code. The consensus on arch@ is that this feature might have been useful
in the distant past, but is now just unnecessary bloat.

The int_rman_activate_resource() and int_rman_deactivate_resource()
functions become trivial, so manually inline them.

The special deferred handling of RF_ACTIVE is no longer needed in
reserve_resource_bound(), so eliminate the associated code at the
end of the function.

Rename the kld_unload event handler to kld_unload_try, and add a new
kld_unload event handler which gets invoked after a linker file has been
successfully unloaded. The kld_unload and kld_load event handlers are now
invoked with the shared linker lock held, while kld_unload_try is invoked
with the lock exclusively held.

Convert hwpmc(4) to use these event handlers instead of having
kern_kldload() and kern_kldunload() invoke hwpmc(4) hooks whenever files are
loaded or unloaded. This has no functional effect, but simplifes the linker
code somewhat.

The soft and hard busy mechanism rely on the vm object lock to work.
Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.

Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag

The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

Make a pass over this page to correct and clarify a few things as well as
some general word-smithing.
- Don't claim that adaptive mutexes have a timeout (they don't).
- Don't treat pool mutexes as a separate primitive in a few places.
- Describe sleepable read-mostly locks as a separate lock type and add
them to the various tables.
- Don't claim that sx locks are less efficient. That hasn't been true in
a few years now.
- Describe lockmanager locks next to sx locks since they are very similar
in terms of rules, etc., and so that all the lock primitives are
grouped together before the non-lock primitives.
- Similarly, move the section on Giant after the description of all the
non-lock primitives to preserve grouping.
- Condition variables work on several types of locks, not just mutexes.
- Add a bit of language to compare/contrast condition variables with
sleep/wakeup.
- Add a note about why pause(9) is unique.
- Add some language to define bounded vs unbounded sleeps and explain
why they are treated separately (bounded sleeps only need CPU time
to make forward progress).
- Don't state that using mtx_sleep() is a bad idea. It is in fact rather
necessary.
- Rework the interaction table a bit. First, it did not include really
include sleepable rmlocks and it left out lockmgr entirely. To get
things to fit, combine similar lock types into the same column / row,
and explicitly state what "sleep" means. The notes about recursion
and lock order were also a bit banal (lock order is always important,
not just in the few places annotated here), so remove them. In
particular, the lock order note would need to be on just about every
cell. If we want to document recursion I think a better approach
would be a separate table summarizing the recursion rules for each
lock as having too many notes clutters the table.
- Tweak the tables to use less indentation so everything still fits with
the added columns.
- Correct a few cells in the context mode table.
- Use mdoc markup instead of explicit markup in a few places.

- Flesh out the lock class methods for rmlocks to support sleeping via

details in 'show lock' in DDB, and the lc_owner method used by
dtrace.
- Add an internal destroyed cookie so that API functions can assert
that an rmlock is not destroyed.
- Make use of rm_assert() to add various assertions to the API (e.g.
to assert locks are held when an unlock routine is called).
- Give RM_SLEEPABLE locks their own lock class and always use the
rmlock's own lock_object with WITNESS.
- Use THREAD_NO_SLEEPING() / THREAD_SLEEPING_OK() to disallow sleeping

Merge from projects/counters: UMA_ZONE_PCPU zones.

These zones have slab size == sizeof(struct pcpu), but request from VM
enough pages to fit (uk_slabsize * mp_ncpus). An item allocated from such
zone would have a separate twin for each CPU in the system, and these twins
are at a distance of sizeof(struct pcpu) from each other. This magic value
of distance would allow us to make some optimizations later.

To address private item from a CPU simple arithmetics should be used:

item = (type *)((char *)base + sizeof(struct pcpu) * curcpu)

These arithmetics are available as zpcpu_get() macro in pcpu.h.

To introduce non-page size slabs a new field had been added to uma_keg
uk_slabsize. This shifted some frequently used fields of uma_keg to the
fourth cache line on amd64. To mitigate this pessimization, uma_keg fields
were a bit rearranged and least frequently used uk_name and uk_link moved
down to the fourth cache line. All other fields, that are dereferenced
frequently fit into first three cache lines.

Extend taskqueue(9) to enable per-taskqueue callbacks.

The scope of these callbacks is primarily to support actions that affect the
taskqueue's thread environments. They are entirely optional, and
consequently are introduced as a new API: taskqueue_set_callback().

This interface allows the caller to specify that a taskqueue requires a
callback and optional context pointer for a given callback type.

The callback types included in this commit can be used to register a
constructor and destructor for thread-local storage using osd(9). This
allows a particular taskqueue to define that its threads require a specific
type of TLS, without the need for a specially-orchestrated task-based
mechanism for startup and shutdown in order to accomplish it.

Two callback types are supported at this point:

- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_INIT, called by every thread when it starts, prior
to processing any tasks.
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_SHUTDOWN, called by every thread when it exits,
after it has processed its last task but before the taskqueue is
reclaimed.

While I'm here:

- Add two new macros, TQ_ASSERT_LOCKED and TQ_ASSERT_UNLOCKED, and use them
in appropriate locations.
- Fix taskqueue.9 to mention taskqueue_start_threads(), which is a required
interface for all consumers of taskqueue(9).

more details).

Export PFIL lock via rw_lock(9)/rm_lock(9)-like API permitting pfil consumers
to use this lock instead of own lock. This help reducing locks on main

241037 28-Sep-2012 glebius

The drbr(9) API appeared to be so unclear, that most drivers in
tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.

o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.

o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.

o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.

o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.

o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.

o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.

o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.

o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats

Streamline use of cdevpriv and correct some corner cases.

1) It is not useful to call "devfs_clear_cdevpriv()" from
"d_close" callbacks, hence for example read, write, ioctl and
so on might be sleeping at the time of "d_close" being called
and then then freed private data can still be accessed.
Examples: dtrace, linux_compat, ksyms (all fixed by this patch)

2) In sys/dev/drm* there are some cases in which memory will
be freed twice, if open fails, first by code in the open
routine, secondly by the cdevpriv destructor. Move registration
of the cdevpriv to the end of the drm open routines.

3) devfs_clear_cdevpriv() is not called if the "d_open" callback
registered cdevpriv data and the "d_open" callback function
returned an error. Fix this.

Fix a bug which causes a panic in daopen(). The panic is caused by
a da(4) instance going away while GEOM is still probing it.

In this case, the GEOM disk class instance has been created by
disk_create(), and the taste of the disk is queued in the GEOM
event queue.

While that event is queued, the da(4) instance goes away. When the
open call comes into the da(4) driver, it dereferences the freed
(but non-NULL) peripheral pointer provided by GEOM, which results
in a panic.

The solution is to add a callback to the GEOM disk code that is
called when all of its resources are cleaned up. This is
implemented inside GEOM by adding an optional callback that is
called when all consumers have detached from a provider, and the
provider is about to be deleted.

scsi_cd.c,
scsi_da.c: In the register routine for the cd(4) and da(4)
routines, acquire a reference to the CAM peripheral
instance just before we call disk_create().

Use the new GEOM disk d_gone() callback to register
a callback (dadiskgonecb()/cddiskgonecb()) that
decrements the peripheral reference count once GEOM
has finished cleaning up its resources.

In the cd(4) driver, clean up open and close
behavior slightly. GEOM makes sure we only get one
open() and one close call, so there is no need to
set an open flag and decrement the reference count
if we are not the first open.

In the cd(4) driver, use cam_periph_release_locked()
in a couple of error scenarios to avoid extra mutex
calls.

geom.h: Add a new, optional, providergone callback that
is called when a provider is about to be deleted.

geom_disk.h: Add a new d_gone() callback to the GEOM disk
interface.

Bump the DISK_VERSION to version 2. This probably
should have been done after a couple of previous
changes, especially the addition of the d_getattr()
callback.

geom_disk.c: Add a providergone callback for the disk class,
g_disk_providergone(), that calls the user's
d_gone() callback if it exists.

Bump the DISK_VERSION to 2.

geom_subr.c: In g_destroy_provider(), call the providergone
callback if it has been provided.

In g_new_geomf(), propagate the class's
providergone callback to the new geom instance.

blkfront.c: Callers of disk_create() are supposed to pass in
DISK_VERSION, not an explicit disk API version
number. Update the blkfront driver to do that.

disk.9: Update the disk(9) man page to include information
on the new d_gone() callback, as well as the
previously added d_getattr() callback, d_descr
field, and HBA PCI ID fields.

Introducing memcchr(3).

It seems two of the file system drivers we have in the tree, namely ufs
and ext3, use a function called `skpc()'. The meaning of this function
does not seem to be documented in FreeBSD, but it turns out one needs to
be a VAX programmer to understand what it does.

SPKC is an instruction on the VAX that does the opposite of memchr(). It
searches for the non-equal character. Add a new function called
memcchr() to the tree that has the following advantages over skpc():

- It has a name that makes more sense than skpc(). Just like strcspn()
matches the complement of strspn(), memcchr() is the complement of
memchr().

- It is faster than skpc(). Similar to our strlen() in libc, it compares
entire words, instead of single bytes. It seems that for this routine
this yields a sixfold performance increase on amd64.

- It has a man page.

As it turns out, r186347 actually is insufficient to avoid the use of the
curthread-accessing part of mtx_{,un}lock(9) when using a r210623-style
curthread implementation on sparc64, crashing the kernel in its early
cycles as PCPU isn't set up, yet (and can't be set up as OFW is one of the
things we need for that, which leads to a chicken-and-egg problem). What
happens is that due to the fact that the idea of r210623 actually is to
allow the compiler to cache invocations of curthread, it factors out
obtaining curthread needed for both mtx_lock(9) and mtx_unlock(9) to
before the branch based on kobj_mutex_inited when compiling the kernel
without the debugging options. So change kobj_class_compile_static(9)
to just never acquire kobj_mtx, effectively restricting it to its
documented use, and add a kobj_init_static(9) for initializing objects
using a class compiled with the former and that also avoids using mutex(9)
(and malloc(9)). Also assert in both of these functions that they are
used in their intended way only.
While at it, inline kobj_register_method() and kobj_unregister_method()
as there wasn't much point for factoring them out in the first place
and so that a reader of the code has to figure out the locking for
fewer functions missing a KOBJ_ASSERT.

Fix a deficiency in the selinfo interface:
If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.

That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.

Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

Extend the rman(9) API to support altering an existing resource.
Specifically, these changes allow a resource to back a relocatable and
resizable resource such as the I/O window decoders in PCI-PCI bridges.
- rman_adjust_resource() can adjust the start and end address of an
existing resource. It only succeeds if the newly requested address
space is already free. It also supports shrinking a resource in
which case the freed space will be marked unallocated in the rman.
- rman_first_free_region() and rman_last_free_region() return the
start and end addresses for the first or last unallocated region in
an rman, respectively. This can be used to determine by how much
the resource backing an rman must be adjusted to accomodate an
allocation request that does not fit into the existing rman.

While here, document the rm_start and rm_end fields in struct rman,
rman_is_region_manager(), the bound argument to
rman_reserve_resource_bound(), and rman_init_from_resource().

Add drain functionality to sbufs. The drain is a function that is

sbuf_[v]printf(3).

Sbufs now have three basic uses:
1) static string manipulation. Overflow is marked.
2) dynamic string manipulation. Overflow triggers string growth.
3) drained string manipulation. Overflow triggers draining.

In all cases the manipulation is 'safe' in that overflow is detected and
managed.

- Rework the underlying ALQ storage to be a circular buffer, which amongst other
things allows variable length messages to be easily supported.

- Extend KPI with alq_writen() and alq_getn() to support variable length
messages, which is enabled at ALQ creation time depending on the
arguments passed to alq_open(). Also add variants of alq_open() and
alq_post() that accept a flags argument. The KPI is still fully
backwards compatible and shouldn't require any change in ALQ consumers
unless they wish to utilise the new features.

- Introduce the ALQ_NOACTIVATE and ALQ_ORDERED flags to allow ALQ consumers
to have more control over IO scheduling and resource acquisition
respectively.

- Strengthen invariants checking.

- Fix the kthread_{suspend, resume, suspend_check}() locking.
In the current code, the locking is completely broken and may lead
easilly to deadlocks. Fix it by using the proc_mtx, linked to the
suspending thread, as lock for the operation. Keep using the
thread_lock for setting and reading the flag even if it is not entirely
necessary (atomic ops may do it as well, but this way the code is more
readable).
- Fix a deadlock within kthread_suspend().
The suspender should not sleep on a different channel wrt the suspended
thread, or, otherwise, the awaker should wakeup both. Uniform the
interface to what the kproc_* counterparts do (sleeping on the same
channel).
- Change the kthread_suspend_check() prototype.
kthread_suspend_check() always assumes curthread and must only refer to
it, so skip the thread pointer as it may be easilly mistaken.
If curthread is not a kthread, the system will panic.

While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-August/008452.html

In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq

rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

200447 12-Dec-2009 attilio

In current code, threads performing an interruptible sleep (on both
sxlock, via the sx_{s, x}lock_sig() interface, or plain lockmgr), will
leave the waiters flag on forcing the owner to do a wakeup even when if
the waiter queue is empty.
That operation may lead to a deadlock in the case of doing a fake wakeup
on the "preferred" (based on the wakeup algorithm) queue while the other
queue has real waiters on it, because nobody is going to wakeup the 2nd
queue waiters and they will sleep indefinitively.

A similar bug, is present, for lockmgr in the case the waiters are
sleeping with LK_SLEEPFAIL on. In this case, even if the waiters queue
is not empty, the waiters won't progress after being awake but they will
just fail, still not taking care of the 2nd queue waiters (as instead the
lock owned doing the wakeup would expect).

In order to fix this bug in a cheap way (without adding too much locking
and complicating too much the semantic) add a sleepqueue interface which
does report the actual number of waiters on a specified queue of a
waitchannel (sleepq_sleepcnt()) and use it in order to determine if the
exclusive waiters (or shared waiters) are actually present on the lockmgr
(or sx) before to give them precedence in the wakeup algorithm.
This fix alone, however doesn't solve the LK_SLEEPFAIL bug. In order to
cope with it, add the tracking of how many exclusive LK_SLEEPFAIL waiters
a lockmgr has and if all the waiters on the exclusive waiters queue are
LK_SLEEPFAIL just wake both queues.

The sleepq_sleepcnt() introduction and ABI breakage require
__FreeBSD_version bumping.

Add a facility for associating optional descriptions with active interrupt
handlers. This is primarily intended as a way to allow devices that use
multiple interrupts (e.g. MSI) to meaningfully distinguish the various
interrupt handlers.
- Add a new BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method to the bus interface to associate
a description with an active interrupt handler setup by BUS_SETUP_INTR.
It has a default method (bus_generic_describe_intr()) which simply passes
the request up to the parent device.
- Add a bus_describe_intr() wrapper around BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() that supports
printf(9) style formatting using var args.
- Reserve MAXCOMLEN bytes in the intr_handler structure to hold the name of
an interrupt handler and copy the name passed to intr_event_add_handler()
into that buffer instead of just saving the pointer to the name.
- Add a new intr_event_describe_handler() which appends a description string
to an interrupt handler's name.
- Implement support for interrupt descriptions on amd64 and i386 by having
the nexus(4) driver supply a custom bus_describe_intr method that invokes
a new intr_describe() MD routine which in turn looks up the associated
interrupt event and invokes intr_event_describe_handler().

Introduce support for adaptive spinning in lockmgr.
Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.

Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).

Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

Add support for multiple passes of the device tree during the boot-time
probe. The current device order is unchanged. This commit just adds the
infrastructure and ABI changes so that it is easier to merge later changes
into 8.x.
- Driver attachments now have an associated pass level. Attachments are
not allowed to probe or attach to drivers until the system-wide pass level
is >= the attachment's pass level. By default driver attachments use the
"last" pass level (BUS_PASS_DEFAULT). Driver's that wish to probe during
an earlier pass use EARLY_DRIVER_MODULE() instead of DRIVER_MODULE() which
accepts the pass level as an additional parameter.
- A new method BUS_NEW_PASS has been added to the bus interface. This
method is invoked when the system-wide pass level is changed to kick off
a rescan of the device tree so that drivers that have just been made
"eligible" can probe and attach.
- The bus_generic_new_pass() function provides a default implementation of
BUS_NEW_PASS(). It first allows drivers that were just made eligible for
this pass to identify new child devices. Then it propogates the rescan to
child devices that already have an attached driver by invoking their
BUS_NEW_PASS() method. It also reprobes devices without a driver.
- BUS_PROBE_NOMATCH() is only invoked for devices that do not have
an attached driver after being scanned during the final pass.
- The bus_set_pass() function is used during boot to raise the pass level.
Currently it is only called once during root_bus_configure() to raise
the pass level to BUS_PASS_DEFAULT. This has the effect of probing all
devices in a single pass identical to previous behavior.

While this allows the "name=value" option interface to be used for more

According to phk@, VOP_STRATEGY should never, _ever_, return
anything other than 0. Make it so. This fixes
"panic: VOP_STRATEGY failed bp=0xc320dd90 vp=0xc3b9f648",
encountered when writing to an orphaned filesystem. Reason
for the panic was the following assert:
KASSERT(i == 0, ("VOP_STRATEGY failed bp=%p vp=%p", bp, bp->b_vp));
at vfs_bio:bufstrategy().

This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.

This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:

- Delegated Administration

Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.

- L2ARC

Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.

- slog

Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).

- vfs.zfs.super_owner

Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.

- chflags(2)

Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.

- ZFSBoot

Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

Submitted by: dfr

- Snapshot properties

- New failure modes

Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests

- Refquota, refreservation properties

Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.

- Sparse volumes

ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.

- External attributes

Compatible with extattr(2).

- NFSv4-ACLs

Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

- Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is
now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside

old versions. It is responsibility of the maintainers for any module, if
they think it is the case, to axe out such cases.

Permit Giant to be passed as the explicit interlock either to

"unlock" behavior of PDROP and cv_wait_unlock() with Giant is not
permitted as it is will be confusing since Giant is fully unrecursed and
unlocked during a thread sleep.

This is handy for subsystems which wish to allow unlocked drivers to
continue to use Giant such as CAM, the new TTY layer, and the new USB
stack. CAM currently uses a hack that I told Scott to use because I
really didn't want to permit this behavior, and the TTY and USB patches
both have various patches to permit this.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how

"DDB-safe" and avoids locking in the linker, and one that is safe for
use in live kernels, by virtue of observing locking, and in particular
safe when kernel modules are being loaded and unloaded simultaneous to

Submitted by: ru
Approved by: re (gnn)


172394 30-Sep-2007 marius

Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we can
support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

Optimize sx locks to use simple atomic operations for the common cases of
obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.

A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.

Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.

The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.

The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.

The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

Allow threads to atomically release rw and sx locks while waiting for an
event. Locking primitives that support this (mtx, rw, and sx) now each
include their own foo_sleep() routine.
- Rename msleep() to _sleep() and change it's 'struct mtx' object to a
'struct lock_object' pointer. _sleep() uses the recently added
lc_unlock() and lc_lock() function pointers for the lock class of the
specified lock to release the lock while the thread is suspended.
- Add wrappers around _sleep() for mutexes (mtx_sleep()), rw locks
(rw_sleep()), and sx locks (sx_sleep()). msleep() still exists and
is now identical to mtx_sleep(), but it is deprecated.
- Rename SLEEPQ_MSLEEP to SLEEPQ_SLEEP.
- Rewrite much of sleep.9 to not be msleep(9) centric.
- Flesh out the 'RETURN VALUES' section in sleep.9 and add an 'ERRORS'
section.
- Add __nonnull(1) to _sleep() and msleep_spin() so that the compiler will
warn if you try to pass a NULL wait channel. The functions already have

Declare a `struct extattr' that defines the format of an extended
attribute. Also define some macros to manipulate one of these
structures. Explain their use in the extattr.9 manual page.

The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing
the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would
be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is
currently written as follows:

/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
*/
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eap, u_char **eac)
{
u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0;
int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen;
uint32_t ul;

pe = ptr + length;
nlen = strlen(name);

for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) {
p0 = p;
bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul));
pn = p + ul;
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (pn > pe)
break;
p += sizeof(uint32_t);
if (*p != nspace)
continue;
p++;
eapad2 = *p++;
if (*p != nlen)
continue;
p++;
if (bcmp(p, name, nlen))
continue;
ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen;
eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8);
if (eapad1 == 8)
eapad1 = 0;
ealength += eapad1;
ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2;
p += nlen + eapad1;
if (eap != NULL)
*eap = p0;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = p;
return (ealen);
}
return(-1);
}

After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this:

/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.

ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eapp, u_char **eac)
{
struct extattr *eap, *eaend;

Add a new priv(9) kernel interface for checking the availability of
privilege for threads and credentials. Unlike the existing suser(9)
interface, priv(9) exposes a named privilege identifier to the privilege
checking code, allowing more complex policies regarding the granting of
privilege to be expressed. Two interfaces are provided, replacing the
existing suser(9) interface:

suser(td) -> priv_check(td, priv)
suser_cred(cred, flags) -> priv_check_cred(cred, priv, flags)

A comprehensive list of currently available kernel privileges may be
found in priv.h. New privileges are easily added as required, but the
comments on adding privileges found in priv.h and priv(9) should be read
before doing so.

The new privilege interface exposed sufficient information to the
privilege checking routine that it will now be possible for jail to
determine whether a particular privilege is granted in the check routine,
rather than relying on hints from the calling context via the
SUSER_ALLOWJAIL flag. For now, the flag is maintained, but a new jail
check function, prison_priv_check(), is exposed from kern_jail.c and used
by the privilege check routine to determine if the privilege is permitted
in jail. As a result, a centralized list of privileges permitted in jail
is now present in kern_jail.c.

The MAC Framework is now also able to instrument privilege checks, both
to deny privileges otherwise granted (mac_priv_check()), and to grant
privileges otherwise denied (mac_priv_grant()), permitting MAC Policy
modules to implement privilege models, as well as control a much broader
range of system behavior in order to constrain processes running with
root privilege.

The suser() and suser_cred() functions remain implemented, now in terms
of priv_check() and the PRIV_ROOT privilege, for use during the transition
and possibly continuing use by third party kernel modules that have not
been updated. The PRIV_DRIVER privilege exists to allow device drivers to
check privilege without adopting a more specific privilege identifier.

This change does not modify the actual security policy, rather, it
modifies the interface for privilege checks so changes to the security
policy become more feasible.

Various and sundry improvements:
- Replace 'process' with 'thread' everywhere.
- Update several places to note that that the fact that default mutexes
may adaptively spin isn't necessarily MD, but is just part of the
implementation as a whole.
- Clarify the text about MTX_SPIN mutexes only being appropriate for
INTR_FAST interrupts or other low level scheduler code to make the
jargon more FreeBSD-ish rather than BSD/OS-ish.
- Also, note that it is possible that interrupts aren't blocked but just
deferred when a spin lock is held (the whole blocked vs. deferred bit is
an MD implementation detail).
- Remove statements saying that spin locks must be released in the exact
opposite order that they were acquired. This stopped being true several
years ago when we first added critical sections that stored their state
in the current thread rather than in struct mtx.
- Note that a mutex must be initialized before it is passed to any other
mutex function, not just mtx_lock.
- Clarify that mtx_trylock() only operates on MTX_DEF mutexes.
- Simplify the text about possible preemption during a mtx_unlock().
- Use complete English sentences in place of phrases in a few places.
- Clarify that it isn't ever safe to sleep with a mutex held. The kernel

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

141428 07-Feb-2005 iedowse

Add a mechanism for associating a mutex with a callout when the
callout is first initialised, using a new function callout_init_mtx().
The callout system will acquire this mutex before calling the callout
function and release it on return.

In addition, the callout system uses the mutex to avoid most of the
complications and race conditions inherent in asynchronous timer
facilities, so mutex-protected callouts have much simpler semantics.
As long as the mutex is held when invoking callout_stop() or
callout_reset(), then these functions will guarantee that the callout
will be stopped, even if softclock() had already begun to process
the callout.

Existing Giant-locked callouts will automatically pick up the new
race-free semantics. This should close a number of race conditions
in the USB code and probably other areas of the kernel too.

There should be no change in behaviour for "MP-safe" callouts; these
still need to use the techniques mentioned in timeout(9) to avoid
race conditions.

Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel

thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

Clarify what the lockfunc is used for. When it will be called and

sufficiently specific to understand when and how it would be called.
The new wording describes the current implementation's usage (which
should be updated if other appropriate times are decided upon),
specifically that it is called only when the load operation is
deferred to keep the locking state consistent. When the operation
isn't deferred, the calling routine is assumed to have a coherent
locking world.

MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to

into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.

When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is

For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.

Introduce a callout_drain() function. This acts in the same manner as
callout_stop(), except that if the callout being stopped is currently
in progress, it blocks attempts to reset the callout and waits until the
callout is completed before it returns.

This makes it possible to clean up callout-using code safely, e.g.,
without potentially freeing memory which is still being used by a callout.

Add the kernel side of network interface renaming support.

The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
on the routing socket.

As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
if_xname directly. if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.

o It is the /usr/include files, not the /usr include files.
o Document the practice of converting to the c99 standard uintXX_t

has been going on in the tree for a while now, and I've heard other
developers also state that this conversion is happening. Note also
that this is a slow process and should be treated like whitespace

Move dynamic sysctl(8) variable creation for the cd(4) and da(4) drivers
out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt context.

The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK), which causes problems
if malloc(9) actually needs to sleep.

The eventual fix for this issue will involve moving the CAM probe process
inside a kernel thread. For now, though, I have fixed the issue by moving
dynamic sysctl variable creation for these two drivers to a task queue
running in a kernel thread.

The existing task queues (taskqueue_swi and taskqueue_swi_giant) run in
software interrupt handlers, which wouldn't fix the problem at hand. So I
have created a new task queue, taskqueue_thread, that runs inside a kernel
thread. (It also runs outside of Giant -- clients must explicitly acquire
and release Giant in their taskqueue functions.)

scsi_cd.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from cdregister(), and
move it to a new function, cdsysctlinit(). Queue
cdsysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once we
have fully registered the cd(4) driver instance.

scsi_da.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from daregister(), and
move it to move it to a new function, dasysctlinit().
Queue dasysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once
we have fully registered the da(4) instance.

taskqueue.h: Declare the new taskqueue_thread taskqueue, update some
comments.

subr_taskqueue.c:
Create the new kernel thread taskqueue. This taskqueue
runs outside of Giant, so any functions queued to it would
need to explicitly acquire/release Giant if they need it.

cd.4: Update the cd(4) man page to talk about the minimum command
size sysctl/loader tunable. Also note that the changer
variables are available as loader tunables as well.

da.4: Update the da(4) man page to cover the retry_count,
default_timeout and minimum_cmd_size sysctl variables/loader
tunables. Remove references to /dev/r???, they aren't used
any longer.

cd.9: Update the cd(9) man page to describe the CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
quirk.

taskqueue.9: Update the taskqueue(9) man page to describe the new thread
task queue, and the taskqueue_swi_giant queue.

117624 15-Jul-2003 harti

Add a facility for devices, specifically network interfaces, that require
large to huge amounts of small or medium sized receive buffers. The problem
with these situations is that they eat up the available DMA address space
very quickly when using mbufs or even mbuf clusters. Additionally this
facility provides a direct mapping between 32-bit integers and these buffers.
This is needed for devices originally designed for 32-bit systems. Ususally
the virtual address of the buffer is used as a handle to find the buffer as
soon as it is returned by the card. This does not work for 64-bit machines
and hence this mapping is needed.

Add a paragraph which should clarify the separation of asterisks

The added text was originally a single sentence I wrote and which
was heavily modified and extended by Bruce Evans.

This clarification attempt originates from differing usage of the
'restrict' type-qualifier.
Although various documents documents dicussing the C Programming
Language put a space between an asterisk and the 'restrict' keyword,
including the C99 standard (at least the n869.txt draft) and other
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 documents, the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 document
does not separate them.

At long last, commit the zero copy sockets code.

MAKEDEV: Add MAKEDEV glue for the ti(4) device nodes.

ti.4: Update the ti(4) man page to include information on the
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT and TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS kernel options,
and also include information about the new character
device interface and the associated ioctls.

man9/Makefile: Add jumbo.9 and zero_copy.9 man pages and associated
links.

jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.

zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.

NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.

conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.

conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.

kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.

uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.

uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.

uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.

Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.

uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)

if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.

The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).

ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.

if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.

Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.

Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.

Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.

Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.

if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.

Add defines needed for debugging.

Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in
sys/tiio.h.

ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware.

ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13,
and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)

sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.

sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.

socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.

tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.

uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.

ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().

vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.

vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.

This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)

vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.

vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().

vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.

vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.

Many thanks to Drew Gallatin, who wrote the zero copy send and receive
code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code
over the years.

Modified the rules for vendor ids:
- explictly say not to edit infrastructure for vendor ids (not just the

- say to enclose vendor ids and their infrastucture in ``#if 0'', and
partly explain why.
- don't set a bad example by mangling the Berkeley id infrastructure from
``static char sccsid[] ...'' to ``__RCSID(...)''.
- show a blank line between the vendor id cruft and the FreeeBSD if cruft
in the example.

useful if the file has been renamed.

Rewrite of the CAM error recovery code.

Some of the major changes include:

- The SCSI error handling portion of cam_periph_error() has
been broken out into a number of subfunctions to better
modularize the code that handles the hierarchy of SCSI errors.
As a result, the code is now much easier to read.

- String handling and error printing has been significantly
revamped. We now use sbufs to do string formatting instead
of using printfs (for the kernel) and snprintf/strncat (for
userland) as before.

There is a new catchall error printing routine,
cam_error_print() and its string-based counterpart,
cam_error_string() that allow the kernel and userland
applications to pass in a CCB and have errors printed out
properly, whether or not they're SCSI errors. Among other
things, this helped eliminate a fair amount of duplicate code
in camcontrol.

We now print out more information than before, including
the CAM status and SCSI status and the error recovery action
taken to remedy the problem.

- sbufs are now available in userland, via libsbuf. This
change was necessary since most of the error printing code
is shared between libcam and the kernel.

- A new transfer settings interface is included in this checkin.
This code is #ifdef'ed out, and is primarily intended to aid
discussion with HBA driver authors on the final form the
interface should take. There is example code in the ahc(4)
driver that implements the HBA driver side of the new
interface. The new transfer settings code won't be enabled
until we're ready to switch all HBA drivers over to the new
interface.

src/Makefile.inc1,
lib/Makefile: Add libsbuf. It must be built before libcam,
since libcam uses sbuf routines.

libcam/Makefile: libcam now depends on libsbuf.

libsbuf/Makefile: Add a makefile for libsbuf. This pulls in the
sbuf sources from sys/kern.

bsd.libnames.mk: Add LIBSBUF.

camcontrol/Makefile: Add -lsbuf. Since camcontrol is statically
linked, we can't depend on the dynamic linker
to pull in libsbuf.

camcontrol.c: Use cam_error_print() instead of checking for
CAM_SCSI_STATUS_ERROR on every failed CCB.

sbuf.9: Change the prototypes for sbuf_cat() and
sbuf_cpy() so that the source string is now a
const char *. This is more in line wth the
standard system string functions, and helps
eliminate warnings when dealing with a const
source buffer.

Fix a typo.

cam.c: Add description strings for the various CAM
error status values, as well as routines to
look up those strings.

Add new cam_error_string() and
cam_error_print() routines for userland and
the kernel.

cam.h: Add a new CAM flag, CAM_RETRY_SELTO.

Add enumerated types for the various options
available with cam_error_print() and
cam_error_string().

cam_ccb.h: Add new transfer negotiation structures/types.

Change inq_len in the ccb_getdev structure to
be "reserved". This field has never been
filled in, and will be removed when we next
bump the CAM version.

cam_debug.h: Fix typo.

cam_periph.c: Modularize cam_periph_error(). The SCSI error
handling part of cam_periph_error() is now
in camperiphscsistatuserror() and
camperiphscsisenseerror().

In cam_periph_lock(), increase the reference
count on the periph while we wait for our lock
attempt to succeed so that the periph won't go
away while we're sleeping.

cam_xpt.c: Add new transfer negotiation code. (ifdefed
out)

Add a new function, xpt_path_string(). This
is a string/sbuf analog to xpt_print_path().

scsi_all.c: Revamp string handing and error printing code.
We now use sbufs for much of the string
formatting code. More of that code is shared
between userland the kernel.

scsi_all.h: Get rid of SS_TURSTART, it wasn't terribly
useful in the first place.

Add a new error action, SS_REQSENSE. (Send a
request sense and then retry the command.)
This is useful when the controller hasn't
performed autosense for some reason.

Change the default actions around a bit.

scsi_cd.c,
scsi_da.c,
scsi_pt.c,
scsi_ses.c: SF_RETRY_SELTO -> CAM_RETRY_SELTO. Selection
timeouts shouldn't be covered by a sense flag.

scsi_pass.[ch]: SF_RETRY_SELTO -> CAM_RETRY_SELTO.

Get rid of the last vestiges of a read/write
interface.

libkern/bsearch.c,
sys/libkern.h,
conf/files: Add bsearch.c, which is needed for some of the
new table lookup routines.

aic7xxx_freebsd.c: Define AHC_NEW_TRAN_SETTINGS if
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE is defined.

sbuf.h,
subr_sbuf.c: Add the appropriate #ifdefs so sbufs can
compile and run in userland.

Change sbuf_printf() to use vsnprintf()
instead of kvprintf(), which is only available
in the kernel.

Change the source string for sbuf_cpy() and
sbuf_cat() to be a const char *.

Add __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS around
function prototypes since they're now exported
to userland.

kdump/mkioctls: Include stdio.h before cam.h since cam.h now
includes a function with a FILE * argument.

These patches implement dynamic sysctls. It's possible now to add
and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.

Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.

Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.

This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like

Revamp the devstat priority system. All disks now have the same priority.
The same goes for CD drivers and tape drivers. In systems with mixed IDE
and SCSI, devices in the same priority class will be sorted in attach
order.

Also, the 'CCD' priority is now the 'ARRAY' priority, and a number of
drivers have been modified to use that priority.

This includes the necessary changes to all drivers, except the ATA drivers.
Soren will modify those separately.

This does not include and does not require any change in the devstat
version number, since no known userland applications use the priority
enumerations.

Alter the behavior of sys/kern/subr_bus.c:device_print_child()

- device_print_child() either lets the BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method produce the entire device announcement message or
it prints "foo0: not found\n"

Alter sys/kern/subr_bus.c:bus_generic_print_child() to take on
the previous behavior of device_print_child() (printing the
"foo0: <FooDevice 1.1>" bit of the announce message.)

Provide bus_print_child_header() and bus_print_child_footer()
to actually print the output for bus_generic_print_child().
These functions should be used whenever possible (unless you can
just use bus_generic_print_child())

The BUS_PRINT_CHILD method now returns int instead of void.

Modify everything else that defines or uses a BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method to comply with the above changes.

- Devices are 'on' a bus, not 'at' it.
- If a custom BUS_PRINT_CHILD method does the same thing
as bus_generic_print_child(), use bus_generic_print_child()
- Use device_get_nameunit() instead of both
device_get_name() and device_get_unit()
- All BUS_PRINT_CHILD methods return the number of

This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.

For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".

Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.

Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.

It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.

A few notes:

I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.

The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.

mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.

/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.

Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

Have fun...

Add a prioritization field to the devstat_add_entry() call so that
peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.

This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.

This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.

The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.

Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.

Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

Added some advice to avoid typedef'ing structures, as this breaks
information-hiding. Also recommended against naming typedefs to end
in _t unless POSIX or ANSI requires it, and in favor of using queue(3)
macros to generate lists rather than rolling one's own.

Fixed #include(s) in the synopsis to actually declare the function(s) in the
synopsis.


24817 11-Apr-1997 bde

Cleaned up synopsis:
- don't quote function names, since quoting them is unnecessary and
unusual and confuses my synopsis checker.
- include <sys/types.h> instead of <sys/param.h>. It is normal to
(have to) include <sys/param.h> instead of <sys/types.h>, but it
is more useful for man pages to document minimal prerequisites.


24815 11-Apr-1997 bde

Fixed synopsis:
- don't declare nonexistent function sleep().
- don't include <sys/errno.h> explicitly.

sleep() should be nuked some more, e.g., this man page should not be
named after a nonexistent function.

This is the current draft of my filesystem manpages. Some files are
incomplete and some are just placeholders but I wanted to try to get
something at least into 2.2 on the grounds that what I have is a lot
better than nothing. I also wanted to commit something which documents
the interfaces in 2.2 before I start updating the documentation for 3.0.

This is a definite 2.2 candidate and is also relavent to 2.1 if people
still care about that branch.
