Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL - Update copyright. - Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna - If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that always blocks. - Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird. - Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little suspect. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals. This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack. - Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be there. - Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some behind boot verbose. - Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup. - Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff. - Make relevant sysctls also tunables. - Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements (direct, queue, fast). - Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for weighing down the FS code. - Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for weighing down the allocator code. - Fix the random(9) manpage. - Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered when the dust settles. - Use macros for locks. - Fix comments.
* src/share/man/... - Update the man pages.
* src/etc/... - The startup/shutdown work is done in D2924.
* src/UPDATING - Add UPDATING announcement.
* src/sys/dev/random/build.sh - Add copyright. - Add libz for unit tests.
* src/sys/dev/random/dummy.c - Remove; no longer needed. Functionality incorporated into randomdev.*.
* live_entropy_sources.c live_entropy_sources.h - Remove; content moved. - move content to randomdev.[ch] and optimise.
* src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.c src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.h - Remove; plugability is no longer used. Compile-time algorithm selection is the way to go.
* src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.c src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.h - Add early (re)boot-time randomness caching.
* src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.c src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.h - Remove; no longer needed.
* src/sys/dev/random/uint128.h - Provide a fake uint128_t; if a real one ever arrived, we can use that instead. All that is needed here is N=0, N++, N==0, and some localised trickery is used to manufacture a 128-bit 0ULLL.
* src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.c src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.h - Improve unit tests; previously the testing human needed clairvoyance; now the test will do a basic check of compressibility. Clairvoyant talent is still a good idea. - This is still a long way off a proper unit test.
* src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.c src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.h - Improve messy union to just uint128_t. - Remove unneeded 'static struct fortuna_start_cache'. - Tighten up up arithmetic. - Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden it against blatant by compress/hashing. - Assert that locks are held correctly. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch])
* src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.c src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.h - Improve messy union to just uint128_t. - Remove unneeded 'staic struct start_cache'. - Tighten up up arithmetic. - Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden it against blatant by compress/hashing. - Assert that locks are held correctly. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch]) - Fix some magic numbers elsewhere used as FAST and SLOW.

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes: - Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask" to "hw.pcic.intr_mask". - Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel. - Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed TUNABLE statements. - Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL(). - Wrapped two very long lines. - Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered. - Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Merge from project branch. Uninteresting commits are trimmed.
Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:
* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed to be minimal.
* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation) and the kernel uses this at next boot.
* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)
* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no longer available raw.

Debugging. My attempt at EVENTHANDLER(multiuser) was a failure; use EVENTHANDLER(mountroot) instead.
This means we can't count on /var being present, so something will need to be done about harvesting /var/db/entropy/... .
Some policy now needs to be sorted out, and a pre-sync cache needs to be written, but apart from that we are now ready to go.

Looking pretty good; this mostly works now. New code includes:

SNAPSHOT.
Simplify the malloc pools; We only need one for this device.
Simplify the harvest queue.
Marginally improve the entropy pool hashing, making it a bit faster in the process.
Connect up the hardware "live" source harvesting. This is simplistic for now, and will need to be made rate-adaptive.
All of the above passes a compile test but needs to be debugged.

Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.
Contains:
* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).
* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never used and adds extra code for no good reason.
* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.
* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one is present.
* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent. Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng to 'dummy'.

1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral name.
2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could be done here.
3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter; 128 bits will last for long enough.
There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE") * It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps it should belong in a manual page
2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c * rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()
3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable "rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered by preferences. I.e.: rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of them are available (or registered), then system will default to something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present. I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see modload event, and init function)
5) fix kern.random.adaptors from kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock to kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block
6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected adaptor: root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.
This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it as low as possible for the time being.
Technical notes on this commit itself: - More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced. The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3) for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation). - pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon. With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word - Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself, it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when accessing kernland members. - KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be set as the example reported in NOTES.
Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt) machine (amd64).
Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not targeted for MFC.
People to thank for the time spent on this patch: - sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested several revision of the patches and really helped in improving stability of this work. - marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed patches related to ktr. - jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed. - kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the patch. - marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of the patch. - marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific implementations of the patch. - Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been already committed and have been listed separately.
Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several degrees: - Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big count of CPUs. - The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance, which has been instrumental. - Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during development.
(I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in advance).

Add support for True IDE mode to the Octeon CF driver. This mode is signalled when the attribute address for the CF is 0 in the octeon sysinfo structure. In this mode, the DATA port is 16-bits, but the other ports are 8-bits, but on a 16-bit bus (so you have to access it a short at a time, but only believe the lower byte). See the code for more details on this slightly odd arrangement. I'm still not 100% happy with the abstractions here on many levels (starting with the globals for these settings, on down to no bus_space use, etc), but the driver had these problems before the change.
Also, clean up the code a bit to make this support easier, and the code a bit easier to read. I tried to follow existing style, but may have missed a few spots. Add some comments.
Fix probe/attach routine to return a proper error for the simulator.
With this change, my EBH5200 eval board now recognizes the CF well enough to boot to the login prompt. Before it would say it never became ready. My CN3010-EVB-HS5 still boots properly. My older CN3860-based board won't load the 64-bit kernel, either before or after the change, and I didn't chase that down.

- Remove attempts to implement setting of BMCR_LOOP/MIIF_NOLOOP (reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media) support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already did quite some time ago. - Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE. - Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for). This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not attach a miibus(4) instance. Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset() directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS. - Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe(). The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach() along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach arguments anyway. - Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD. - Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc. NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage as appropriate. - Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD. - According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already 9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible. - Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

o) Make it possible to attach a PHY directly to an octe device rather than using miibus, since for some devices that use multiple addresses on the bus, going through miibus may be unclear, and for devices that are not standard MII PHYs, miibus may throw a fit, necessitating complicated interfaces to fake the interface that it expects during probe/attach. o) Make the mv88e61xx SMI interface in octe attach a PHY directly and fix some mistakes in the code that resulted from trying too hard to present a nice interface to miibus. o) Add a PHY driver for the mv88e61xx. If attached (it is optional in kernel compiles so the default behavior of having a dumb switch is preserved) it will place the switch in a VLAN-tagging mode such that each physical port has a VLAN associated with it and interfaces for the VLANs can be created to address or bridge between them. XXX It would be nice for this to be part of a single module including the SMI interface, and for it to fit into a generic switch configuration framework and for it to use DSA rather than VLANs, but this is a start and gives some sense of the parameters of such frameworks that are not currently present in FreeBSD. In lieu of a switch configuration interface, per-port media status and VLAN settings are in a sysctl tree. XXX There may be some minor nits remaining in the handling of broadcast, multicast and unknown destination traffic. It would also be nice to go through and replace the few remaining magic numbers with macros at some point in the future. XXX This has only been tested with the MV88E6161, but it should work with minimal or no modification on related switches, so support for probing them was included.

Update the port of FreeBSD to Cavium Octeon to use the Cavium Simple Executive library: o) Increase inline unit / large function growth limits for MIPS to accommodate the needs of the Simple Executive, which uses a shocking amount of inlining. o) Remove TARGET_OCTEON and use CPU_CNMIPS to do things required by cnMIPS and the Octeon SoC. o) Add OCTEON_VENDOR_LANNER to use Lanner's allocation of vendor-specific board numbers, specifically to support the MR320. o) Add OCTEON_BOARD_CAPK_0100ND to hard-wire configuration for the CAPK-0100nd, which improperly uses an evaluation board's board number and breaks board detection at runtime. This board is sold by Portwell as the CAM-0100. o) Add support for the RTC available on some Octeon boards. o) Add support for the Octeon PCI bus. Note that rman_[sg]et_virtual for IO ports can not work unless building for n64. o) Clean up the CompactFlash driver to use Simple Executive macros and structures where possible (it would be advisable to use the Simple Executive API to set the PIO mode, too, but that is not done presently.) Also use structures from FreeBSD's ATA layer rather than structures copied from Linux. o) Print available Octeon SoC features on boot. o) Add support for the Octeon timecounter. o) Use the Simple Executive's routines rather than local copies for doing reads and writes to 64-bit addresses and use its macros for various device addresses rather than using local copies. o) Rename octeon_board_real to octeon_is_simulation to reduce differences with Cavium-provided code originally written for Linux. Also make it use the same simplified test that the Simple Executive and Linux both use rather than our complex one. o) Add support for the Octeon CIU, which is the main interrupt unit, as a bus to use normal interrupt allocation and setup routines. o) Use the Simple Executive's bootmem facility to allocate physical memory for the kernel, rather than assuming we know which addresses we can steal. NB: This may reduce the amount of RAM the kernel reports you as having if you are leaving large temporary allocations made by U-Boot allocated when starting FreeBSD. o) Add a port of the Cavium-provided Ethernet driver for Linux. This changes Ethernet interface naming from rgmxN to octeN. The new driver has vast improvements over the old one, both in performance and functionality, but does still have some features which have not been ported entirely and there may be unimplemented code that can be hit in everyday use. I will make every effort to correct those as they are reported. o) Support loading the kernel on non-contiguous cores. o) Add very conservative support for harvesting randomness from the Octeon random number device. o) Turn SMP on by default. o) Clean up the style of the Octeon kernel configurations a little and make them compile with -march=octeon. o) Add support for the Lanner MR320 and the CAPK-0100nd to the Simple Executive. o) Modify the Simple Executive to build on FreeBSD and to build without executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via kernel configuration files. o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting of the USB PID.
