They provide relaxed-ordered atomic access semantic. Due to the
FreeBSD memory model, the operations are syntaxical wrappers around
the volatile accesses. The volatile qualifier is used to ensure that
the access not optimized out and in turn depends on the volatile
semantic as implemented by supported compilers.
The motivation for adding the operation is to help people coming from
other systems or knowing the C11/C++ standards where atomics have
special type and require use of the special access operations. It is
still the case that FreeBSD requires plain load and stores of aligned
integer types to be atomic.

Update the comment about leaving the permanent mapping in place. This
also improves the wording of the comment. PTD 0 is still left alone
because it is fairly important that it was unmapped earlier, and the
comment now describes the unmapping of the other low PTDs that the code

it by a transient double mapping for the one instruction in ACPI wakeup
where it is needed (and for many surrounding instructions in ACPI resume).
Invalidate the TLB as soon as convenient after undoing the transient
mapping. ACPI resume already has the strict ordering needed for this.
This fixes the non-trapping of null pointers and other garbage pointers
below NBPDR (except transiently). NBPDR is quite large (4MB, or 2MB for
PAE).
This fixes spurious traps at the first instruction in VM86 bioscalls.
The traps are for transiently missing read permission in the first
VM86 page (physical page 0) which was just written to at KERNBASE in
the kernel. The mechanism is unknown (it is not simply PG_G).
locore uses a similar but larger transient double mapping and needs
it for 2 instructions instead of 1. Unmap the first PDE in it after
the 2 instructions to detect most garbage pointers while bootstrapping.
pmap_bootstrap() finishes the unmapping.
Remove the avoidance of the double mapping for a recently fixed special
case. ACPI resume could use this avoidance (made non-special) to avoid
any problems with the transient double mapping, but no such problems
are known.
Update comments in locore. Many were for old versions of FreeBSD which
tried to map low memory r/o except for special cases, or might have
allowed access to low memory via physical offsets. Now all kernel
maps are r/w, and removal of of the double map disallows use of physical
offsets again.
when KERNLOAD is smaller than NBPDR (not the default) and PG_G is
enabled (the default if the CPU supports it). This case has relatively
minor problems with coherency of the permanent double mapping, but the
fix in r167869 to improve coherency creates page tables with 3 different
errors so never worked.
The permanent double mapping is fundamentally broken and will be removed
soon. It fundamentally breaks trapping for null pointers and requires
complications to avoid cache coherency bugs. It is currently used for
only a single instruction in ACPI resume,
Many fixes VM86 and/or ACPI and/or the double map were attempted near
r1200000. r167869 attempted to fix cache coherency bugs in an unusual
case, but the bugs were unreachable because older errors in page tables
caused a crash first.
This commit just makes r167869 work as intended. Part 1 of these fixes
fixed the other errors, but also stopped mapping the PDE for KERNBASE
as a large page, so double mapping of this PDE only causes the same
problems as when KERNLOAD is the default. Except for the problem of
trapping null pointers, r167869 could be used to fix these problems,
but it is inactive in usual cases. The only known other problem is
that incoherent permissions for page 0 cause spurious traps in VM86
BIOS calls.

when KERNLOAD is not a multiple of NBPDR (not the default) and PSE is
enabled (the default if the CPU supports it). Addresses in PDEs must
be a multiple of NBPDR in the PSE case, but were not so in the crashing
case.
KERNLOAD defaults to NBPDR. NBPDR is 4 MB for !PAE and 2 MB for PAE.
The default can be changed by editing i386/include/vmparam.h or using
makeoptions. It can be changed to less than NBPDR to save real and
virtual memory at a small cost in time, or to more than NBPDR to waste
real and virtual memory. It must be larger than 1 MB and a multiple of
PAGE_SIZE. When it is less than NBPDR, it is necessarily not a multiple
of NBPDR. This case has much larger bugs which will be fixed in part 2.
The fix is to only use PSE for physical addresses above <KERNLOAD
rounded _up_ to an NBPDR boundary>. When the rounding is non-null,
this leaves part of the kernel not using large pages. Rounding down
would avoid this pessimization, but would break setting of PAT bits
on i/o pages if it goes below 1MB. Since rounding down always goes
below 1MB when KERNLOAD < NBPDR and the KERNLOAD > NBPDR case is not
useful, never round down.
Fix related style bugs (e.g., wrong literal values for NBPDR in comments).

Logically, extend r286288 to cover all threads, by default.
The world has largely moved on from i386. Most FreeBSD users and developers
test on amd64 hardware. For better or worse, we have written a non-trivial
amount of kernel code that relies on stacks larger than 8 kB, and it "just
works" on amd64, so there has been little incentive to shrink it.
amd64 had its KSTACK_PAGES bumped to 4 back in Peter's initial AMD64 commit,
r114349, in 2003. Since that time, i386 has limped along on a stack half
the size. We've even observed the stack overflows years ago, but neglected
to fix the issue; see the 20121223 and 20150728 entries in UPDATING.
If anyone is concerned with this change, I suggest they configure their
AMD64 kernels with KSTACK_PAGES 2 and fix the fallout there first. Eugene

Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).
Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.
Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.
To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

All of the kernel dump implementations keep track of the current offset

all write the dump sequentially, so we can reduce code duplication by
having the MI code keep track of the current offset. The new

This is needed to implement support for kernel dump compression in the
MI kernel dump code.
Also simplify dump_encrypted_write() somewhat: use dump_write() instead
of duplicating its bounds checks, and get rid of the redundant offset
tracking.

Split the handlers for pop of invalid selectors from the trap frame
into usermode and kernel variants. Usermode handler is kept as is, it
restores the already loaded parts of the trap frame and jumps to set
up a signal delivery to the user process.
New kernel part of the handler emulates IRET treatment of the segments
which would violate access right. It loads NUL selector in the
segment register which load causes the fault, and then continues the
return to interrupted kernel code. Since invalid selectors in the
segment registers in the kernel mode can only exist while kernel still
enters or exits from userspace, we only zero invalid userspace
selectors. If userspace tries to use the segment register, it gets a
signal, as if the processor segment descriptor cache was reloaded.

The problem with the committed fix is that there are still issues with
returning from NMI, when NMI interrupted kernel in a moment where the
kernel segments selectors were still not loaded into registers. If
this happens, the NMI return would loose the userspace selectors
because r323722 does not reload segment registers on return to kernel

complexity.
