MFC r252894:
Add SDT_PROBE_DEFINE0 for consistency with SDT_PROBE0.

MFC r253022:
Also define SDT_PROBE_DEFINE0 for the !KDTRACE_HOOKS case.

MFC r254266:
Add event handlers for module load and unload events. The load handlers are
called after the module has been loaded, and the unload handlers are called
before the module is unloaded. Moreover, the module unload handlers may
return an error to prevent the unload from proceeding.

MFC r254267:
Remove some unused fields from struct linker_file. They were added in
r172862 for use by the DTrace SDT framework but don't seem to have ever
been used.

MFC r254268:
FreeBSD's DTrace implementation has a few problems with respect to handling
probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,

* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.

This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).

Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

MFC r254309:
Use kld_{load,unload} instead of mod_{load,unload} for the linker file load
and unload event handlers added in r254266.

MFC r254350:
Specify SDT probe argument types in the probe definition itself rather than
using SDT_PROBE_ARGTYPE(). This will make it easy to extend the SDT(9) API
to allow probes with dynamically-translated types.

MFC r254713: fbt: drop a local write-only variable


249132 05-Apr-2013 mav

MFC r227293 (by ed):
Mark MALLOC_DEFINEs static that have no corresponding MALLOC_DECLAREs.

This means that their use is restricted to a single C file.

memory size
