4d3b28bcdc amd64 pmap: rework delayed invalidation, removing global mutex.
For machines having cmpxcgh16b instruction, i.e. everything but very
early Athlons, provide lockless implementation of delayed
invalidation.

The implementation maintains lock-less single-linked list with the
trick from the T.L. Harris article about volatile mark of the elements
being removed. Double-CAS is used to atomically update both link and
generation.  New thread starting DI appends itself to the end of the
queue, setting the generation to the generation of the last element
+1.  On DI finish, thread donates its generation to the previous
element.  The generation of the fake head of the list is the last
passed DI generation.  Basically, the implementation is a queued
spinlock but without spinlock.

Many thanks both to Peter Holm and Mark Johnson for keeping with me
while I produced intermediate versions of the patch.

c5156c7785 Linuxulator depends on a fundamental kernel settings such as SMP. Many
of them listed in opt_global.h which is not generated while building
modules outside of a kernel and such modules never match real cofigured
kernel.

So, we should prevent our users from building obviously defective modules.

Therefore, remove the root cause of the building of modules outside of a
kernel - the possibility of building modules with DEBUG or KTR flags.
And remove all of DEBUG printfs as it is incomplete and in threaded
programms not informative, also a half of system call does not have DEBUG
printf. For debuging Linux programms we have dtrace, ktr and ktrace ability.

54a3a11421 Provide separate accounting for user-wired pages.
Historically we have not distinguished between kernel wirings and user
wirings for accounting purposes.  User wirings (via mlock(2)) were
subject to a global limit on the number of wired pages, so if large
swaths of physical memory were wired by the kernel, as happens with
the ZFS ARC among other things, the limit could be exceeded, causing
user wirings to fail.

The change adds a new counter, v_user_wire_count, which counts the
number of virtual pages wired by user processes via mlock(2) and
mlockall(2).  Only user-wired pages are subject to the system-wide
limit which helps provide some safety against deadlocks.  In
particular, while sources of kernel wirings typically support some
backpressure mechanism, there is no way to reclaim user-wired pages
shorting of killing the wiring process.  The limit is exported as
vm.max_user_wired, renamed from vm.max_wired, and changed from u_int
to u_long.

The choice to count virtual user-wired pages rather than physical
pages was done for simplicity.  There are mechanisms that can cause
user-wired mappings to be destroyed while maintaining a wiring of
the backing physical page; these make it difficult to accurately
track user wirings at the physical page layer.

The change also closes some holes which allowed user wirings to succeed
even when they would cause the system limit to be exceeded.  For
instance, mmap() may now fail with ENOMEM in a process that has called
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) if the new mapping would cause the user wiring
limit to be exceeded.

Note that bhyve -S is subject to the user wiring limit, which defaults
to 1/3 of physical RAM.  Users that wish to exceed the limit must tune
vm.max_user_wired.

542970fa2d Remove IPSEC from GENERIC due to performance issues
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.

Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.

Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

251a32b5b2 tun/tap: merge and rename to tuntap
tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).

This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp

[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).

ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.

(MFC commentary)

This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.

I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

665919aaaf x86: Implement MWAIT support for stopping a CPU
IPI_STOP is used after panic or when ddb is entered manually.  MONITOR/
MWAIT allows CPUs that support the feature to sleep in a low power way
instead of spinning.  Something similar is already used at idle.

It is perhaps especially useful in oversubscribed VM environments, and is
safe to use even if the panic/ddb thread is not the BSP.  (Except in the
presence of MWAIT errata, which are detected automatically on platforms with
known wakeup problems.)

It can be tuned/sysctled with "machdep.stop_mwait," which defaults to 0
(off).  This commit also introduces the tunable
"machdep.mwait_cpustop_broken," which defaults to 0, unless the CPU has
known errata, but may be set to "1" in loader.conf to signal that mwait
wakeup is broken on CPUs FreeBSD does not yet know about.

Unfortunately, Bhyve doesn't yet support MONITOR extensions, so this doesn't
help bhyve hypervisors running FreeBSD guests.

fdfe249b63 Fix initial x87 state after r345562.
After the referenced commit, we did not set x87 and sse valid bits in
the xstate_bv bitmask for initial fpu state (stored in memory), when
using XSAVE.

The state is loaded into FPU register file to initialize the process
FPU state, and since both bits were clear, the default x87 and SSE
states were loaded.  By chance, FreeBSD ABI SSE2 state is same as FPU
initial state, so the bug is not visible for 64bit processes.  But on
i386, the precision control should be set to double (53bit mantissa),
instead of the default double extended (64bit mantissa). For 32bit
processes on amd64, kernel reloads control word with the right mask,
which only left native i386 and amd64 native but using x87 as
affected.

Fix it by setting minimal required xstate_bv mask.

2a508645b4 pci_cfgreg.c: Use io port config access for early boot time.
Some early PCIe chipsets are explicitly listed in the white-list to
enable use of the MMIO config space accesses, perhaps because ACPI
tables were not reliable source of the base MCFG address at that time.
For that chipsets, MCFG base was read from the known chipset MCFGbase
config register.

During very early stage of boot, when access to the PCI config space
is performed (see e.g. pci_early_quirks.c), we cannot map 255MB of
registers because the method used with pre-boot pmap overflows initial
kernel page tables.

Move fallback to read MCFGbase to the attachment method of the
x86/legacy device, which removes code duplication, and results in the
use of io accesses until MCFG is parsed or legacy attach called.

For amd64, pre-initialize cfgmech with CFGMECH_1, right now we
dynamically assign CFGMECH_1 to it anyway, and remove checks for
CFGMECH_NONE.

There is a mention in the Intel documentation for corresponding
chipsets that OS must use either io port or MMIO access method, but we
already break this rule by reading MCFGbase register, so one more
access seems to be innocent.

64087fd7f3 Disallow preemptive creation of wired superpage mappings.
There are some unusual cases where a process may cause an mlock()ed
range of memory to be unmapped.  If the application subsequently
faults on that region, the handler may attempt to create a superpage
mapping backed by the resident, wired pages.  However, the pmap code
responsible for creating such a mapping (pmap_enter_pde() on i386
and amd64) does not ensure that a leaf page table page is available
if the superpage is later demoted; the demotion operation must therefore
perform a non-blocking page allocation and must unmap the entire
superpage if the allocation fails.  The pmap layer ensures that this
can never happen for wired mappings, and so the case described above
breaks that invariant.

For now, simply ensure that the MI fault handler never attempts to
create a wired superpage except via promotion.

39d70f6b80 Provide deterministic (and somewhat useful) value for RDPID result,
and for %ecx after RDTSCP.

Initialize TSC_AUX MSR with CPUID.  It allows for userspace to cheaply
identify CPU it was executed on some time ago, which is sometimes useful.

Note: The values returned might be changed in future.

329f0aa952 Kill tz_minuteswest and tz_dsttime.
Research Unix, 7th Edition introduced TIMEZONE and DSTFLAG
compile-time constants in sys/param.h to communicate these values for
the machine. 4.2BSD moved from the compile-time to run-time and
introduced these variables and used for localtime() to return the
right offset from UTC (sometimes referred to as GMT, for this purpose
is the same). 4.4BSD migrated to using the tzdata code/database and
these variables were basically unused.

FreeBSD removed the real need for these with adjkerntz in
1995. However, some RTC clocks continued to use these variables,
though they were largely unused otherwise.  Later, phk centeralized
most of the uses in utc_offset, but left it using both tz_minuteswest
and adjkerntz.

POSIX (IEEE Std 1003.1-2017) states in the gettimeofday specification
"If tzp is not a null pointer, the behavior is unspecified" so there's
no standards reason to retain it anymore. In fact, gettimeofday has
been marked as obsolecent, meaning it could be removed from a future
release of the standard. It is the only interface defined in POSIX
that references these two values. All other references come from the
tzdata database via tzset().

These were used to more faithfully implement early unix ABIs which
have been removed from FreeBSD.  NetBSD has completely eliminated
these variables years ago. Linux has migrated to tzdata as well,
though these variables technically still exist for compatibility
with unspecified older programs.

So, there's no real reason to have them these days. They are a
historical vestige that's no longer used in any meaningful way.
