Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

This will allow multiple consumers of the coverage data to be compiled

only register when the coverage data is needed.
A new kernel conflig option COVERAGE is added. This will allow kcov to

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.
