Push the root seed version to userspace through the VDSO page, if
the RANDOM_FENESTRASX algorithm is enabled. Otherwise, there is no
functional change. The mechanism can be disabled with
debug.fxrng_vdso_enable=0.
arc4random(3) obtains a pointer to the root seed version published by
the kernel in the shared page at allocation time. Like arc4random(9),
it maintains its own per-process copy of the seed version corresponding
to the root seed version at the time it last rekeyed. On read requests,
the process seed version is compared with the version published in the
shared page; if they do not match, arc4random(3) reseeds from the
kernel before providing generated output.
This change does not implement the FenestrasX concept of PCPU userspace
generators seeded from a per-process base generator. That change is
left for future discussion/work.

It allows a sysent to share existing usermode data in shared page with
other sysent, assuming ABI differences are not in the layout of the
page.

opt_compat.h is mentioned in nearly 180 files. In-progress network
driver compabibility improvements may add over 100 more so this is
closer to "just about everywhere" than "only some files" per the
guidance in sys/conf/options.
Keep COMPAT_LINUX32 in opt_compat.h as it is confined to a subset of
sys/compat/linux/*.c. A fake _COMPAT_LINUX option ensure opt_compat.h
is created on all architectures.
Move COMPAT_LINUXKPI to opt_dontuse.h as it is only used to control the
set of compiled files.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
sysentvec. This allows the timekeep data to be shared between similar
ABIs which cannot share sysentvec.
Make the timekeep_push_vdso() tick callback to the timekeep structures
instead of sysentvecs. If several sysentvec share the vdso_sv_tk
structure, we would update the userspace data several times on each
tick, without the change.
Only allocate vdso_sv_tk in the exec_sysvec_init() sysinit when
sysentvec is marked with the new SV_TIMEKEEP flag. This saves
allocation and update of unneeded vdso_sv_tk for ABIs which do not
provide userspace gettimeofday yet, which are PowerPCs arches right
now.
Make vdso_sv_tk allocator public, namely split out and export
alloc_sv_tk() and alloc_sv_tk_compat32(). ABIs which share timekeep
data now can allocate it manually and share as appropriate.

of the timehands, from the kern_tc.c implementation to vdso. Add
comments giving hints where to look for the algorithm explanation.
To compensate the removal of rmb() in userspace binuptime(), add
explicit lfence instruction before rdtsc. On i386, add usual
complications to detect SSE2 presence; assume that old CPUs which do
not implement SSE2 also execute rdtsc almost in order.

transparent layering and better fragmentation.
- Normalize functions that allocate memory to use kmem_*
- Those that allocate address space are named kva_*
- Those that operate on maps are named kmap_*
- Implement recursive allocation handling for kmem_arena in vmem.

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).
