x86 needs sc, as does sparc64. powerpc doesn't use it by default, but some old
powermac notebooks do not work with vt yet for reasons unknonw. Even so, I've
removed it from powerpc LINT. It's not in daily use there, and the intent is to
100% switch to vt now that it works for that platform to limit support burden.
All the other architectures omit some or all of the screen savers from their
lint config. Move them to the x86 NOTES files and remove the exclusions. This
reduces slightly the number of savers sparc64 compiles, but since they are in
GENERIC, the overage is adequate and if someone reaelly wants to sort them out
in sparc64 they can sweat the details and the testing.

Casueword(9) on ll/sc architectures must be prepared for userspace
constantly modifying the same cache line as containing the CAS word,
and not loop infinitely. Otherwise, rogue userspace livelocks the
kernel.
To fix the issue, change casueword(9) interface to return new value 1
indicating that either comparision or store failed, instead of relying
on the oldval == *oldvalp comparison. The primitive no longer retries
the operation if it failed spuriously. Modify callers of
casueword(9), all in kern_umtx.c, to handle retries, and react to
stops and requests to terminate between retries.
On x86, despite cmpxchg should not return spurious failures, we can
take advantage of the new interface and just return PSL.ZF.

The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.
This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change
we remove a number of page lock acquisitions.
No functional change is intended. __FreeBSD_version is bumped.

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

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.

While in theory one could define different things, none of the

other systems used 8k instead of 4k, but we don't support running

There are some misconceptions surrounding this field. It is the

values as understood by the VM.
The former slab size of sizeof(struct pcpu) was somewhat arbitrary.
The new value is PAGE_SIZE because that's the smallest granularity
which the VM can allocate a slab for a given domain. If you have
fewer than PAGE_SIZE/8 counters on your system there will be some
memory wasted, but this is obviously something where you want the
