linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.
(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable
pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided,
however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.
(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing
interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
processed.
(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
dispatchable context).
(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using
connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
strategy despite CPU overhead.
Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.
No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

o API to ip_output()/ip6_output() got even more thin: 1 liner.
o Remove unused unions. Simply use fle->f_key[].
o Merge all IPv4 code into flowtable_lookup_ipv4(), and do same
flowtable_lookup_ipv6(). Stop copying data to on stack
sockaddr structures, simply use key[] on stack.
o Move code from flowtable_lookup_common() that actually works
on insertion into flowtable_insert().

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

1.3 of Intelб╝ Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture
Specification. The Extended Context and PASIDs from the rev. 2.2 are
not supported, but I am not aware of any released hardware which
implements them. Code does not use queued invalidation, see comments
for the reason, and does not provide interrupt remapping services.
Code implements the management of the guest address space per domain
and allows to establish and tear down arbitrary mappings, but not
partial unmapping. The superpages are created as needed, but not
promoted. Faults are recorded, fault records could be obtained
programmatically, and printed on the console.
Implement the busdma(9) using DMARs. This busdma backend avoids
bouncing and provides security against misbehaving hardware and driver
bad programming, preventing leaks and corruption of the memory by wild
DMA accesses.
By default, the implementation is compiled into amd64 GENERIC kernel
but disabled; to enable, set hw.dmar.enable=1 loader tunable. Code is
written to work on i386, but testing there was low priority, and
driver is not enabled in GENERIC. Even with the DMAR turned on,
individual devices could be directed to use the bounce busdma with the
hw.busdma.pci<domain>:<bus>:<device>:<function>.bounce=1 tunable. If
DMARs are capable of the pass-through translations, it is used,
otherwise, an identity-mapping page table is constructed.
The driver was tested on Xeon 5400/5500 chipset legacy machine,
Haswell desktop and E5 SandyBridge dual-socket boxes, with ahci(4),
ata(4), bce(4), ehci(4), mfi(4), uhci(4), xhci(4) devices. It also
works with em(4) and igb(4), but there some fixes are needed for
drivers, which are not committed yet. Intel GPUs do not work with
DMAR (yet).
Many thanks to John Baldwin, who explained me the newbus integration;

random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a

creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a

tunable by default.
This will allow GENERIC configurations to boot on small memory boxes, but
not require end users who want to use CTL to recompile their kernel. They
can simply set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 in loader.conf.
The eventual solution to the memory usage problem is to change the way
CTL allocates memory to be more configurable, but this should fix things
for small memory situations in the mean time.
UPDATING: Explain the change in the CTL configuration, and
how users can enable CTL if they would like to use
it.
sys/conf/options: Add a new option, CTL_DISABLE, that prevents CTL
from initializing.
ctl.c: If CTL_DISABLE is turned on, don't initialize.

precise time event generation. This greatly improves granularity of
callouts which are not anymore constrained to wait next tick to be
scheduled.
- Extend the callout KPI introducing a set of callout_reset_sbt* functions,
which take a sbintime_t as timeout argument. The new KPI also offers a
way for consumers to specify precision tolerance they allow, so that
callout can coalesce events and reduce number of interrupts as well as
potentially avoid scheduling a SWI thread.
- Introduce support for dispatching callouts directly from hardware
interrupt context, specifying an additional flag. This feature should be
used carefully, as long as interrupt context has some limitations
(e.g. no sleeping locks can be held).
- Enhance mechanisms to gather informations about callwheel, introducing
a new sysctl to obtain stats.
This change breaks the KBI. struct callout fields has been changed, in
particular 'int ticks' (4 bytes) has been replaced with 'sbintime_t'
(8 bytes) and another 'sbintime_t' field was added for precision.
