This is useful in environments where system configuration is performed by
automated interaction with the system console, since unexpected witness
output makes such automation difficult. With this change, the new
debug.witness.output_channel sysctl allows one to specify that witness
output is to be printed to the kernel log (using log(9)) rather than the
console.

from x86 to use smp_ipi_mtx spin lock not only for smp_rendezvous_cpus()
but also for the MD cache invalidation, TLB demapping and remote register
reading IPIs due to the following reasons:
- The cross-IPI SMP deadlock x86 otherwise is subject to can't happen on
sparc64. That's because on sparc64, spin locks don't disable interrupts
completely but only raise the processor interrupt level to PIL_TICK. This
means that IPIs still get delivered and direct dispatch IPIs such as the
cache invalidation etc. IPIs in question are still executed.
- In smp_rendezvous_cpus(), smp_ipi_mtx is held not only while sending an
IPI_RENDEZVOUS, but until all CPUs have processed smp_rendezvous_action().
Consequently, smp_ipi_mtx may be locked for an extended amount of time as
queued IPIs (as opposed to the direct ones) such as IPI_RENDEZVOUS are
scheduled via a soft interrupt. Moreover, given that this soft interrupt
is only delivered at PIL_RENDEZVOUS, processing of smp_rendezvous_action()
on a target may be interrupted by f. e. a tick interrupt at PIL_TICK, in
turn leading to the target in question trying to send an IPI by itself
while IPI_RENDEZVOUS isn't fully handled, yet, and, thus, resulting in a
deadlock.
o As mentioned in the commit message of r245850, on least some sun4u platforms
concurrent sending of IPIs by different CPUs is fatal. Therefore, hold the
reintroduced MD ipi_mtx also while delivering cross-traps via MI helpers,
i. e. ipi_{all_but_self,cpu,selected}().
o Akin to x86, let the last CPU to process cpu_mp_bootstrap() set smp_started
instead of the BSP in cpu_mp_unleash(). This ensures that all APs actually
are started, when smp_started is no longer 0.
o In all MD and MI IPI helpers, check for smp_started == 1 rather than for
smp_cpus > 1 or nothing at all. This avoids races during boot causing IPIs
trying to be delivered to APs that in fact aren't up and running, yet.
While at it, move setting of the cpu_ipi_{selected,single}() pointers to
the appropriate delivery functions from mp_init() to cpu_mp_start() where
it's better suited and allows to get rid of the global isjbus variable.
o Given that now concurrent IPI delivery no longer is possible, also nuke
the delays before completely disabling interrupts again in the CPU-specific
cross-trap delivery functions, previously giving other CPUs a window for
sending IPIs on their part. Actually, we now should be able to entirely get
rid of completely disabling interrupts in these functions. Such a change
needs more testing, though.
o In {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp(), make the {s,}tick variable static. While not
necessary for correctness, this avoids page faults when accessing the stack
of a foreign CPU as {s,}tick now is locked into the TLBs as part of static
kernel data. Hence, {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp() always execute as fast as
possible, avoiding jitter.

The number of available lock list entries for a thread is LOCK_CHILDCOUNT,
and each entry can record up to LOCK_NCHILDREN locks. When iterating over
the locks held by a thread, a bound on the loop index is therefore given
by LOCK_CHILDCOUNT * LOCK_NCHILDREN; WITNESS_COUNT is an unrelated
constant.

currently a spin lock. Apparently, the only reason for this is that
umtx_thread_exit() is called under the process spinlock, which put the
requirement on the umtx_lock. Note that the witness static order list
is wrong for the umtx_lock, umtx_lock is explicitely before any thread
lock, so it is also before sleepq locks.
Change umtx_lock to be the sleepable mutex. For the reason above, the
calls to umtx_thread_exit() are moved from thread_exit() earlier in
each caller, when the process spin lock is not yet taken.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Historical behavior of letting other CPUs merily go on is a default for
time being. The new behavior can be switched on via
kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic tunable and sysctl.
Stopping of the CPUs has (at least) the following benefits:
- more of the system state at panic time is preserved intact
- threads and interrupts do not interfere with dumping of the system
state
Only one thread runs uninterrupted after panic if stop_scheduler_on_panic
is set. That thread might call code that is also used in normal context
and that code might use locks to prevent concurrent execution of certain
parts. Those locks might be held by the stopped threads and would never
be released. To work around this issue, it was decided that instead of
explicit checks for panic context, we would rather put those checks
inside the locking primitives.
This change has substantial portions written and re-written by attilio
and kib at various times. Other changes are heavily based on the ideas
and patches submitted by jhb and mdf. bde has provided many insights
into the details and history of the current code.
The new behavior may cause problems for systems that use a USB keyboard
for interfacing with system console. This is because of some unusual
locking patterns in the ukbd code which have to be used because on one
hand ukbd is below syscons, but on the other hand it has to interface
with other usb code that uses regular mutexes/Giant for its concurrency
protection. Dumping to USB-connected disks may also be affected.
