These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)

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.

Instead of trying to guess size of disk I/O operations (it just won't work
that way for newly added commands, and is equal to data move size for old
ones), account data move traffic. If disk I/Os are that interesting, then
backends have to account and provide that information.
Block backend already exports the information about disk I/Os via devstat,
so having it here too is excessive.

This gives some use to 512KB per-LUN buffers, allocated for Copan-specific
processor code and not used. It allows, for example, to test transport
performance and/or correctness without accessing the media, as supported
by Linux version of sg3_utils.

Split global ctl_lock, historically protecting most of CTL context:
- remaining ctl_lock now protects lists of fronends and backends;
- per-LUN lun_lock(s) protect LUN-specific information;
- per-thread queue_lock(s) protect request queues.
This allows to radically reduce congestion on ctl_lock.
Create multiple worker threads, depending on number of CPUs, and assign
each LUN to one of them. This allows to spread load between multiple CPUs,
still avoiging congestion on queues and LUNs locks.
On 40-core server, exporting 5 LUNs, each backed by gstripe of SATA SSDs,
accessed via 6 iSCSI connections, this change improves peak request rate
from 250K to 680K IOPS.

From one side it allows to remove CTL_FLAG_TASK_PENDING flag, handling of
which significantly complicates fine-grained locking. From the other side
it reduces task management requests latency even below then that flag could.
As downside, it denies task management code to sleep, but that is not needed
any way now.

This should allow to abort commands doing mostly disk I/O, such as VERIFY
or WRITE SAME. Before this change CTL_FLAG_ABORT was only checked around
data moves, which for these commands may not happen for a very long time.

SPC-4 recommends T10 vendor ID based LUN ID was created by concatenating
product name and serial number (and istgt follows that). But product name
is 16 bytes long by itself, so 16 bytes total length is clearly not enough
to fit both.
To keep compatibility with existing configurations, pad short device IDs
to old length of 16, same as before.
This change probably breaks CTL user-level ABI, so control tools should
be rebuilt after this change.

we're now back to the pre-r228483 level of default verbosity. This in
turn again typically allows for reading information that userland might
have printed on the screen before initiating a halt, but still permits
to debug potential device shutdown problems on system shutdown via
CAM_DEBUG etc.

Make data_submit backends method support not only read and write requests,
but also two new ones: verify and compare. Verify just checks readability
of the data in specified location without transferring them outside.
Compare reads the specified data and compares them to received data,
returning error if they are different.
VERIFY(10/12/16) commands request either verify or compare from backend,
depending on BYTCHK CDB field. COMPARE AND WRITE command executed in two
stages: first it requests compare, and then, if succeesed, requests write.
Atomicity of operation is guarantied by CTL request ordering code.

trims to the device assumes the list is sorted. Don't apply the
optimization of not sorting the queue when we have SSDs to the
delete_queue, since it causes more discard traffic to the drive. While
one could argue that the higher levels should coalesce the trims,
that's not done today, so some optimization at this level is needed.

Make it really work for native FreeBSD programs. Before this it was broken
for years due to different number of pointer dereferences in Linux and
FreeBSD IOCTL paths, permanently returning errors to FreeBSD programs.
This change breaks the driver FreeBSD IOCTL ABI, making it more strict,
but since it was not working any way -- who bother.
Add shims for 32-bit programs on 64-bit host, translating the argument
of the SG_IO IOCTL for both FreeBSD and Linux ABIs.
With this change I was able to run 32-bit Linux sg3_utils tools and simple
32 and 64-bit FreeBSD test tools on both 32 and 64-bit FreeBSD systems.

Nobody yet reported disk supporting I/Os less then our MAXPHYS value, but
since we any way have code to read Block Limits VPD page, that is easy.

Instead of rereading VPD pages on every device open, do it only on initial
device probe, and in cases when device reported via UNIT ATTENTIONs that
something has changed. Capacity is still rereaded on every open because
it is more critical for operation and more probable to change in run time.
On my tests with Intel 530 SSDs on mps(4) HBA this change reduces time
GEOM needs to retaste the device (that includes few open/close cycles)
from ~150ms to ~30ms.

Instead of allocating up to 16MB or RAM at once to handle whole I/O,
allocate up to 1MB at a time, but do multiple ctl_datamove() and storage
I/Os if needed.
Unfortunately we can't check range collisions for UNMAP commands alike
to writes, because they include multiple ranges, which are also passed
in data block, not in CDB. As result, UNMAP commands have to be treated
as colliding with any other command accessing the media.
From the other side all UNMAPs are equal (we don't support ANCHOR flag),
so we can execute several UNMAPs same time.
