the scheduled task from tc_windup(). Do it directly from tc_windup in
interrupt context [1].
Establish the permanent mapping of the shared page into the kernel
address space, avoiding the potential need to sleep waiting for
allocation of sf buffer during vdso_timehands update. As a
consequence, shared_page_write_start() and shared_page_write_end()
functions are not needed anymore.
Guess and memorize the pointers to native host and compat32 sysentvec
during initialization, to avoid the need to get shared_page_alloc_sx
lock during the update.
In tc_fill_vdso_timehands(), do not loop waiting for timehands
generation to stabilize, since vdso_timehands is written in the same
interrupt context which wrote timehands.

usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
are provided.

Do not rely on the busy state of the page from which we allocate the
chunk, to protect allocator state. Use statically allocated sx lock
instead.
Provide more flexible KPI. In particular, allow to allocate chunk
without providing initial data, and allow writes into existing
allocation. Allow to get an sf buf which temporary maps the chunk, to
allow sequential updates to shared page content without unmapping in
between.

It seems that intended locking protocol for struct file f_offset field
was as follows: f_offset should always be changed under the vnode lock
(except fcntl(2) and lseek(2) did not followed the rules). Since
read(2) uses shared vnode lock, FOFFSET_LOCKED block is additionally
taken to serialize shared vnode lock owners.
This was broken first by enabling shared lock on writes, then by
fadvise changes, which moved f_offset assigned from under vnode lock,
and last by vn_io_fault() doing chunked i/o. More, due to uio_offset
not yet valid in vn_io_fault(), the range lock for reads was taken on
the wrong region.
Change the locking for f_offset to always use FOFFSET_LOCKED block,
which is placed before rangelocks in the lock order.
Extract foffset_lock() and foffset_unlock() functions which implements
FOFFSET_LOCKED lock, and consistently lock f_offset with it in the
vn_io_fault() both for reads and writes, even if MNTK_NO_IOPF flag is
not set for the vnode mount. Indicate that f_offset is already valid
for vn_read() and vn_write() calls from vn_io_fault() with FOF_OFFSET
flag, and assert that all callers of vn_read() and vn_write() follow
this protocol.
Extract get_advice() function to calculate the POSIX_FADV_XXX value
for the i/o region, and use it were appropriate.

On success we have to drop one after procdesc_finit() and on failure
we have to close allocated slot with fdclose(), which also drops one
reference for us and drop the remaining reference with fdrop().
Without this change closing process descriptor didn't result in killing

First, extend the changes in r230782 to better handle the common case
of using NOREUSE with sequential reads. A NOREUSE file descriptor
will now track the last implicit DONTNEED request it made as a result
of a NOREUSE read. If a subsequent NOREUSE read is adjacent to the
previous range, it will apply the DONTNEED request to the entire range
of both the previous read and the current read. The effect is that
each read of a file accessed sequentially will apply the DONTNEED
request to the entire range that has been read. This allows NOREUSE
to properly handle misaligned reads by flushing each buffer to cache
once it has been completely read.
Second, apply the same changes made to read(2) by r230782 and this
change to writes. This provides much better performance in the
sequential write case as it allows writes to still be clustered. It
also provides much better performance for misaligned writes. It does
mean that NOREUSE will be generally ineffective for non-sequential
writes as the current implementation relies on a future NOREUSE
write's implicit DONTNEED request to flush the dirty buffer from the
current write.

As this is a vary rare situation, using a lock to close the window
seems overkill. Instead just wait for the assignment of si_drv1.

indx will never be -1 on error, as none of dupfdopen(), finstall() and

it a bit:
- We can assert that only ENODEV and ENXIO errors are passed instead of
handling other errors.
- The caller always call finstall() for indx descriptor, so we can assume
it is set. Actually the filedesc lock is dropped between finstall() and
dupfdopen(), so there is a window there for another thread to close the
indx descriptor, but it will be closed in next commit.

If fdalloc() decides to grow fdtable it does it once and at most doubles
the size. This still may be not enough for sufficiently large fd. Use fd
in calculations of new size in order to fix this.
When growing the table, fd is already equal to first free descriptor >= minfd,
also fdgrowtable() no longer drops the filedesc lock. As a result of this there
is no need to retry allocation nor lookup.
Fix description of fd_first_free to note all return values.
