Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs. MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores. Now
we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
accordingly, and ignore disabled cores. This prevents us from executing
methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
exist. Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects. To
work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual
page change.

ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.

- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
operations would.
- Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
cpu_switchin().
autodetect if on powerpc and use the APM gpart GEOM class
automaticaly. At this time support for full disk installation is
the only supported scheme.

This seems to break at least my test board here (AR71xx + AR8316 switch
PHY). Since I do have a whole sleuth of "normal" PHY boards (with
an AR71xx on a normal PHY port), I'll do some further testing with those
to determine whether this is a general issue, or whether it's limited
to the behaviour of the "fake" dedicated PHY port mode on these atheros
switches.
Fix issues stamping boot on other ZFS drives, now you can boot after removing
mirror drive.

intr_bind() on x86.
This has been requested by jhb and I strongly disagree with this,
but as long as he is the x86 and interrupt subsystem maintainer I will
follow his directives.
The disagreement cames from what we should really consider as a
public KPI. IMHO, if we really need a selection between the kernel
functions, we may need an explicit protection like _KERNEL_KPI, which
defines which subset of the kernel function might really be considered
as part of the KPI (for thirdy part modules) and which not.
As long as we don't have this mechanism I just consider any possible
function as usable by thirdy part code, thus intr_bind() included.

a c11 prefix to disambiguate them from the one provided by GCC.
Note: Clang 3.1 also supports the GCC builtins for libstdc++ 4.7 compatibility,
but I don't recommend using them because they are very poorly designed.

- in pcap_dispatch(), issue a prefetch on the buffer before the
callback, this may save a little bit of time if the client
is very fast.
- in pcap_inject(), use a fast copy routine, which also helps
saving a few nanoseconds with fast clients.
is running on other cpu, the CALLOUT_PENDING flag is temporarily
cleared. Then, callout_stop() on this, in fact active, callout fails
because CALLOUT_PENDING is not set, and callout_stop() returns 0.
Now, in sleepq_check_timeout(), the failed callout_stop() causes the
sleepq code to execute mi_switch() without even setting the wmesg,
since the switch-out is supposed to be transient. In fact, the thread
is put off the CPU for full timeout interval, instead of being put on
runq immediately. Until timeout fires, the process is unkillable for
obvious reasons.
Fix this by marking the migrating callouts with CALLOUT_DFRMIGRATION
flag. The flag is cleared by callout_stop_safe() when the function
detects a migration, besides returning the success. The softclock()
rechecks the flag for migrating callout and cancels its execution if
the flag was cleared meantime.

Enqueue thread in LIFO, this can cause starvation, but it gives better
performance. Use _thr_queuefifo to control the frequency of FIFO vs LIFO,
you can use environment string LIBPTHREAD_QUEUE_FIFO to configure the
variable.
Cleaner solution (e.g. adding another header) should be done here.
Original log:
Move several enums and structures required for L2 filtering from ip_fw_private.h to ip_fw.h.
Remove ipfw/ip_fw_private.h header from non-ipfw code.
