in kern_gzio.c. The old gzio interface was somewhat inflexible and has not
worked properly since r272535: currently, the gzio functions are called with
a range lock held on the output vnode, but kern_gzio.c does not pass the
IO_RANGELOCKED flag to vn_rdwr() calls, resulting in deadlock when vn_rdwr()
attempts to reacquire the range lock. Moreover, the new gzio interface can
be used to implement kernel core compression.
This change also modifies the kernel configuration options needed to enable
userland core dump compression support: gzio is now an option rather than a
device, and the COMPRESS_USER_CORES option is removed. Core dump compression
is enabled using the kern.compress_user_cores sysctl/tunable.

Implement the interace to create SR-IOV Virtual Functions (VFs).
When a driver registers that they support SR-IOV by calling
pci_setup_iov(), the SR-IOV code creates a new node in /dev/iov
for that device. An ioctl can be invoked on that device to
create VFs and have the driver initialize them.
At this point, allocating memory I/O windows (BARs) is not
supported.

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.

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 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

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined

Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for

- 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).
