7afd9bf059 Remove opt_random.h header pollution from sys/random.h by moving
RANDOM_LOADABLE and RANDOM_YARROW's definitions from opt_random.h to
opt_global.h

This unbreaks `make depend` in sys/modules with multiple drivers (tmpfs, etc)

e866d8f05b Make the UMA harvesting go away completely if not wanted. Default to "not wanted".
Provide and document the RANDOM_ENABLE_UMA option.

Change RANDOM_FAST to RANDOM_UMA to clarify the harvesting.

Remove RANDOM_DEBUG option, replace with SDT probes. These will be of
use to folks measuring the harvesting effect when deciding whether to
use RANDOM_ENABLE_UMA.

6d338f9a81 Import the CloudABI datatypes and create a system call table.
CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It
works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in
capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this
model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be
supported by other operating systems without too much effort.

CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to
run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit
hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The
rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file
descriptors that you grant it on startup.

The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are
defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size
independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import
these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in
cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h.

We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or
sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on
the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the
pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply
add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again.

The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call
implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled
to be started through execve().

d1b06863fb Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL
- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
  neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
  random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
  return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
  always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
  through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
  suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
  functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
  This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
  there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some
  behind boot verbose.
- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
  (direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
  weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for
  weighing down the allocator code.
- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered
  when the dust settles.
- Use macros for locks.
- Fix comments.

* src/share/man/...
- Update the man pages.

* src/etc/...
- The startup/shutdown work is done in D2924.

* src/UPDATING
- Add UPDATING announcement.

* src/sys/dev/random/build.sh
- Add copyright.
- Add libz for unit tests.

* src/sys/dev/random/dummy.c
- Remove; no longer needed. Functionality incorporated into randomdev.*.

* live_entropy_sources.c live_entropy_sources.h
- Remove; content moved.
- move content to randomdev.[ch] and optimise.

* src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.c src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.h
- Remove; plugability is no longer used. Compile-time algorithm
  selection is the way to go.

* src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.c src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.h
- Add early (re)boot-time randomness caching.

* src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.c src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.h
- Remove; no longer needed.

* src/sys/dev/random/uint128.h
- Provide a fake uint128_t; if a real one ever arrived, we can use
  that instead. All that is needed here is N=0, N++, N==0, and some
  localised trickery is used to manufacture a 128-bit 0ULLL.

* src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.c src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.h
- Improve unit tests; previously the testing human needed clairvoyance;
  now the test will do a basic check of compressibility. Clairvoyant
  talent is still a good idea.
- This is still a long way off a proper unit test.

* src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.c src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.h
- Improve messy union to just uint128_t.
- Remove unneeded 'static struct fortuna_start_cache'.
- Tighten up up arithmetic.
- Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden
  it against blatant by compress/hashing.
- Assert that locks are held correctly.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
  functions to do these tasks.
- Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch])

* src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.c src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.h

23c9098b2a Change EM_MULTIQUEUE to a real kernconf entry and enable support for
up to 2 rx/tx queues for the 82574.

Program the 82574 to enable 5 msix vectors, assign 1 to each rx queue,
1 to each tx queue and 1 to the link handler.

Inspired by DragonFlyBSD, enable some RSS logic for handling tx queue
handling/processing.

Move multiqueue handler functions so that they line up better in a diff
review to if_igb.c

Always enqueue tx work to be done in em_mq_start, if unable to acquire
the TX lock, then this will be processed in the background later by the
taskqueue.  Remove mbuf argument from em_start_mq_locked() as the work
is always enqueued.  (stolen from igb)

Setup TARC, TXDCTL and RXDCTL registers for better performance and stability
in multiqueue and singlequeue implementations. Handle Intel errata  3 and
generic multiqueue behavior with the initialization of TARC(0) and TARC(1)

Bind interrupt threads to cpus in order.  (stolen from igb)

Add 2 new DDB functions, one to display the queue(s) and their settings and
one to reset the adapter.  Primarily used for debugging.

In the multiqueue configuration, bump RXD and TXD ring size to max for the
adapter (4096).  Setup an RDTR of 64 and an RADV of 128 in multiqueue configuration
to cut down on the number of interrupts.  RADV was arbitrarily set to 2x RDTR
and can be adjusted as needed.

Cleanup the display in top a bit to make it clearer where the taskqueue threads
are running and what they should be doing.

Ensure that both queues are processed by em_local_timer() by writing them both
to the IMS register to generate soft interrupts.

Ensure that an soft interrupt is generated when em_msix_link() is run so that
any races between assertion of the link/status interrupt and a rx/tx interrupt
are handled.

Document existing tuneables: hw.em.eee_setting, hw.em.msix, hw.em.smart_pwr_down, hw.em.sbp

Document use of hw.em.num_queues and the new kernel option EM_MULTIQUEUE

Thanks to Intel for their continued support of FreeBSD.

aa14e9b7c9 Reimplement support for userland core dump compression using a new interface
in kern_gzio.c. The old gzio interface was somewhat inflexible and has not
worked properly since r272535: currently, the gzio functions are called with
a range lock held on the output vnode, but kern_gzio.c does not pass the
IO_RANGELOCKED flag to vn_rdwr() calls, resulting in deadlock when vn_rdwr()
attempts to reacquire the range lock. Moreover, the new gzio interface can
be used to implement kernel core compression.

This change also modifies the kernel configuration options needed to enable
userland core dump compression support: gzio is now an option rather than a
device, and the COMPRESS_USER_CORES option is removed. Core dump compression
is enabled using the kern.compress_user_cores sysctl/tunable.

10cb24248a This is the much-discussed major upgrade to the random(4) device, known to you all as /dev/random.
This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.

The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.

The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.

Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to.

My thanks also to folks who helped me thresh this out on whiteboards and in the odd "Hallway track", or otherwise.

My Nomex pants are on. Let the feedback commence!

Note on the naming: Although affecting the output of vt(4), technically
kern/subr_terminal.c is primarily concerned with changing default colors

7527624efa Several years after initial development, merge prototype support for
linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation.  This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.

(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
    RSS implemented by David Malone.  This is used to allow suitable
    pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
    received from the NIC.  Software hashing is generally avoided,
    however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.

(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
    to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
    algorithm/ configuration, and buckets.  Provide software-facing
    interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
    the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
    efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
    Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
    balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
    processed.

(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
    a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
    to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
    for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
    dispatchable context).

(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
    groups with RSS buckets.  If a packet arrives on a protocol using
    connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
    hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
    lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6.  If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
    hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
    contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
    this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
    approach.  As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
    strategy despite CPU overhead.

Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP.  This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers.  Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing.  This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.

No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

45c203fce2 Remove AppleTalk support.
AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.

Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

2c284d9395 Remove IPX support.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.

Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

0ff96b4f55 o Remove at compile time the HASH_ALL code, that was never
tested and is unfinished. However, I've tested my version,
  it works okay. As before it is unfinished: timeout aren't
  driven by TCP session state. To enable the HASH_ALL mode,
  one needs in kernel config:

	options FLOWTABLE_HASH_ALL

o Reduce the alignment on flentry to 64 bytes. Without
  the FLOWTABLE_HASH_ALL option, twice less memory would
  be consumed by flows.
o API to ip_output()/ip6_output() got even more thin: 1 liner.
o Remove unused unions. Simply use fle->f_key[].
o Merge all IPv4 code into flowtable_lookup_ipv4(), and do same
  flowtable_lookup_ipv6(). Stop copying data to on stack
  sockaddr structures, simply use key[] on stack.
o Move code from flowtable_lookup_common() that actually works
  on insertion into flowtable_insert().

26fbe13c56 Implement generic support for early printf. Thought I can't find the
paper trail now, this patch is similar to one posted for one of the
preliminary versions of a new armv6 port. I took them and made them
more generic. Option not enabled by default since each board/port has
to provide its own eputc, and possibly do other things as well...

faa9b054a0 Add a compile-time control over the size of KN_HASHSIZE.
This is needed for applications that use a lot of non-filedescriptor
knotes.
