and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.
The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.
In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.
Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.
Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.
Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.
CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.

Enhanced process coredump routines.
This brings in the following features:
1) Limit number of cores per process via the %I coredump formatter.
Example:
if corefilename is set to %N.%I.core AND num_cores = 3, then
if a process "rpd" cores, then the corefile will be named
"rpd.0.core", however if it cores again, then the kernel will
generate "rpd.1.core" until we hit the limit of "num_cores".
this is useful to get several corefiles, but also prevent filling
the machine with corefiles.
2) Encode machine hostname in core dump name via %H.
3) Compress coredumps, useful for embedded platforms with limited space.
A sysctl kern.compress_user_cores is made available if turned on.
To enable compressed coredumps, the following config options need to be set:
options COMPRESS_USER_CORES
device zlib # brings in the zlib requirements.
device gzio # brings in the kernel vnode gzip output module.
4) Eventhandlers are fired to indicate coredumps in progress.
5) The imgact sv_coredump routine has grown a flag to pass in more
state, currently this is used only for passing a flag down to compress
the coredump or not.
Note that the gzio facility can be used for generic output of gzip'd
streams via vnodes.

does not generate excessive interrupts any more so we don't need

While I'm here remove two STAT_PUT_IDX register accesses in LE

controllers but the value would be represented by core clock
cycles. msk(4) will automatically computes number of required clock
cycles from given micro-seconds unit.
The default interrupt holdoff timer value is 100us which will
ensure less than 10k interrupts under load. The timer value can be
changed with dev.mskc.0.int_holdoff sysctl node.
Note, the interrupt moderation is shared resource on dual-port
controllers so you can't use separate interrupt moderation value
for each port. This means we can't stop interrupt moderation in
driver stop routine. Also have msk_tick() reclaim transmitted Tx
buffers as safety belt. With this change there is no need to check
missing Tx completion interrupt in watchdog handler, so remove it.

- Rename the netisr protocol registration array, 'np' to 'netisr_proto',
in order to reduce the chances of symbol name collisions. It remains
statically defined, but it will be looked up by netstat(1).
- Move certain internal structure definitions from netisr.c to
netisr_internal.h so that netstat(1) can find them. They remain
private, and should not be used for any other purpose (for example,
they should not be used by kernel modules, which must instead use the
public interfaces in netisr.h).
- Store a kernel-compiled version of NETISR_MAXPROT in the global variable
netisr_maxprot, and export via a sysctl, so that it is available for use
by netstat(1). This is especially important for crashdump
interpretation, where the size of the workstream structure is determined
by the maximum number of protocols compiled into the kernel.

This is a split merge because of non-uniform licensing of the DTC package
contents and the way these components will be used in the FreeBSD environment.
The original DTC package is composed of the following two major pieces:
1. sys/contrib/libfdt (BSD [dual] license)
2. contrib/dtc (GPLv2)
The libfdt component is going to be shared in all aspects of the environment:
- /boot/loader
- kernel
- dtc (the device tree compiler proper, userspace tool)

Do not do additional dev_ref() on the newly created interface in the
if_clone create method [1]. This reference is not needed and never
removed, causing struct cdevpriv leakage. Remove the setting of
SI_CHEAPCLONE flag as well, since it is unused.
For dev_clone handlers, create cdevs with the call make_dev_credf(MAKEDEV_REF)
instead of calling make_dev() and then dev_ref(), to avoid a race.
Call drain_dev_clone_events() at the module unload time after dev_clone
handler is deinstalled.

Unfortunately, on AMD Family 10h processors the machine check hardware
