This function is used to allocate IDT vectors for a group of MSI

MSI and MSI-X messages. For x86, we allow for up to 128 different
MSI IRQs starting at IRQ 256 (IRQs 0-15 are reserved for ISA IRQs,
16-254 for APIC PCI IRQs, and IRQ 255 is reserved).

For the record, the KDTRACE option caused _no_ additional source files
to be compiled in; certainly no CDDL source files. All it did was to
allow existing BSD licensed kernel files to include one or more CDDL
header files.
By removing this from DEFAULTS, the onus is on a kernel builder to add
the option to the kernel config, possibly by including GENERIC and
customising from there. It means that DTrace won't be a feature
available in FreeBSD by default, which is the way I intended it to be.
Without this option, you can't load the dtrace module (which contains
the dtrace device and the DTrace framework). This is equivalent to
requiring an option in a kernel config before you can load the linux
emulation module, for example.
I think it is a mistake to have DTrace ported to FreeBSD, but not
to have it available to everyone, all the time. The only exception
to this is the companies which distribute systems with FreeBSD embedded.
Those companies will customise their systems anyway. The KDTRACE
option was intended for them, and only them.
adds the hooks that DTrace modules register with, and adds a few functions
which have the dtrace_ prefix to allow the DTrace FBT (function boundary
trace) provider to avoid tracing because they are called from the DTtrace
probe context.
Unlike other forms of tracing and debug, DTrace support in the kernel
incurs negligible run-time cost.
I think the only reason why anyone wouldn't want to have kernel support
enabled for DTrace would be due to the license (CDDL) under which DTrace
is released.
a lock to prevent interspersed strings written from different CPUs
at the same time.
To avoid putting a buffer on the stack or having to malloc one,
space is incorporated in the per-cpu structure. The buffer
size if 128 bytes; chosen because it's the next power of 2 size
up from 80 characters.
String writes to the console are buffered up the end of the line
or until the buffer fills. Then the buffer is flushed to all
console devices.
Existing low level console output via cnputc() is unaffected by
this change. ithread calls to log() are also unaffected to avoid
blocking those threads.
A minor change to the behaviour in a panic situation is that
console output will still be buffered, but won't be written to
a tty as before. This should prevent interspersed panic output
as a number of CPUs panic before we end up single threaded
running ddb.

not completely decided at config time. Just don't default to using
the TSC if there are multiple active CPUs. Also, don't default to
using the TSC if it is broken. SMP ifdefs are still used to disallow
using perfmon since perfmon is always broken if SMP is just configured.
This only helps much for SMP kernels running on 1 CPU. The overheads
for using the i8254 cputime clock were a bit too high on 486/33's, and
now on multi-GHz CPUs they are usually in the 99-99.9% range. Switching
from the old default of an i8254 clock to the TSC works poorly because
the overheads are not recalibrated.
Use the same condition for declaring perfmon stuff as for using it.

From the submitter:
---snip---
DESIGN NOTES:
1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by
"context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process.
My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context",
and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into
the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue.
When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and
io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context
from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context
request queues maintained by my code.
2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between
Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks
(struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory
space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2).
3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105
needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror
of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in
kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to
take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID.
To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of
libaio-0.3.105 reads:
Ben will hate me for this

old/broken hardware. Unfortunately, it adds cache pressure and possible
mispredicted branches to the fast path of the bus_dmamap_load collection of
functions. Since it's meant for slow path exception processing, de-inline
it and allow its conditions to be pre-computed at tag_create time and thus
short-circuited at runtime.
While here, cut down on the size of _bus_dmamap_load_buffer() by pushing the
bounce page logic into a non-inlined function. Again, this helps with
cache pressure and mispredicted branches.
According to the TSC, this shaves off a few cycles on average. Unfortunately,
the data varies quite a bit due to interrupts and preemption, so it's hard to
get a good measurement. Real world measurements of network PPS are welcomed.

The latter didn't work when one attempted to build a kernel which had
"device acpi" with the "make kernel-toolchain buildkernel" command

include path (it's empty in the kernel-toolchain case).
Fix this by passing a better root path to kernel headers (src/sys)

any threads to them. However, it still counts those cores as "active but
permanently idle" when calculating system-wide CPUs statistics. It is
incorrect, since it skews statistics quite a bit and creates real problems
for certain types of applications (monitoring applications for example),
by making them believe that the system does have enough idle CPU resources,
while in fact it does not.
Correct the problem by not calling performance counting routines on "disabled"
cores. The cleaner solution would be to just disable APIC timer interrupts on
those cores completely, but ENOTIME here and it is not clear if the
additional complexity really worth minor performance gain.
