When building with KCOV enabled the compiler will insert function calls
to probes allowing us to trace the execution of the kernel from userspace.
These probes are on function entry (trace-pc) and on comparison operations
(trace-cmp).
Userspace can enable the use of these probes on a single kernel thread with
an ioctl interface. It can allocate space for the probe with KIOSETBUFSIZE,
then mmap the allocated buffer and enable tracing with KIOENABLE, with the
trace mode being passed in as the int argument. When complete KIODISABLE
is used to disable tracing.
The first item in the buffer is the number of trace event that have
happened. Userspace can write 0 to this to reset the tracing, and is
expected to do so on first use.
The format of the buffer depends on the trace mode. When in PC tracing just
the return address of the probe is stored. Under comparison tracing the
comparison type, the two arguments, and the return address are traced. The
former method uses on entry per trace event, while the later uses 4. As
such they are incompatible so only a single mode may be enabled.
KCOV is expected to help fuzzing the kernel, and while in development has
already found a number of issues. It is required for the syzkaller system
call fuzzer [1]. Other kernel fuzzers could also make use of it, either
with the current interface, or by extending it with new modes.
A man page is currently being worked on and is expected to be committed
soon, however having the code in the kernel now is useful for other
developers to use.

Finishes the conversion of the 40Gb Intel Ethernet drivers to iflib(9) for
FreeBSD 12.0, and fixes numerous bugs in both ixl(4) and iavf(4).
This commit also re-adds the VF driver to GENERIC since it now compiles and
functions.
The VF driver name was changed from ixlv(4) to iavf(4) because the VF driver is
now intended to be used with future products, not just with Fortville/Fort Park
VFs.
A man page update that documents these drivers is forthcoming in a separate

Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.
Major new features:
- Support for Fortville-based 25G adapters
- Support for I2C reads/writes
(To prevent getting or sending corrupt data, you should set
dev.ixl.0.debug.disable_fw_link_management=1 when using I2C
[this will disable link!], then set it to 0 when done. The driver implements
the SIOCGI2C ioctl, so ifconfig -v works for reading I2C data,
but there are read_i2c and write_i2c sysctls under the .debug sysctl tree
[the latter being useful for upper page support in QSFP+]).
- Addition of an iWARP client interface (so the future iWARP driver for
X722 devices can communicate with the base driver).
- Compiling this option in is enabled by default, with "options IXL_IW" in
GENERIC.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

PCI-express HotPlug support is implemented via bits in the slot
registers of the PCI-express capability of the downstream port along
with an interrupt that triggers when bits in the slot status register
change.
This is implemented for FreeBSD by adding HotPlug support to the
PCI-PCI bridge driver which attaches to the virtual PCI-PCI bridges
representing downstream ports on HotPlug slots. The PCI-PCI bridge
driver registers an interrupt handler to receive HotPlug events. It
also uses the slot registers to determine the current HotPlug state
and drive an internal HotPlug state machine. For simplicty of
implementation, the PCI-PCI bridge device detaches and deletes the
child PCI device when a card is removed from a slot and creates and
attaches a PCI child device when a card is inserted into the slot.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver provides a bus_child_present which claims
that child devices are present on HotPlug-capable slots only when a
card is inserted. Rather than requiring a timeout in the RC for
config accesses to not-present children, the pcib_read/write_config
methods fail all requests when a card is not present (or not yet
ready).
These changes include support for various optional HotPlug
capabilities such as a power controller, mechanical latch,
electro-mechanical interlock, indicators, and an attention button.
It also includes support for devices which require waiting for
command completion events before initiating a subsequent HotPlug
command. However, it has only been tested on ExpressCard systems
which support surprise removal and have none of these optional
capabilities.
PCI-express HotPlug support is conditional on the PCI_HP option
which is enabled by default on arm64, x86, and powerpc.
