via cpuctl(4) driver. Two new CPUCTL_MSRSBIT and CPUCTL_MSRCBIT ioctl(2)
calls treat the data field of the argument struct passed as a mask
and set/clear bits of the MSR register according to the mask value.
- Allow user to perform atomic bitwise AND and OR operaions on MSR registers
via cpucontrol(8) utility. Two new operations ("&=" and "|=") have been
added. The first one applies bitwise AND operaion between the current
contents of the MSR register and the mask, and the second performs bitwise
OR. The argument can be optionally prefixed with "~" inversion operator.
This allows one to mimic the "clear bit" behavior by using the command
like this:
cpucontrol -m 0x10&=~0x02 # clear the second bit of TSC MSR
Inversion operator support in all modes (assignment, OR, AND).

- Document different semantics for ACPI_WMI_PROVIDES_GUID_STRING_METHOD
acpi_wmi.c:
- Modify acpi_wmi_provides_guid_string_method to return absolut number of
instances known for the given GUID.
acpi_hp.c:
- sysctl dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose to toggle debug output
- A modification so this can deal with different array lengths
when reading the CMI BIOS - now it works ok on HP Compaq nx7300
as well.
- Change behaviour to query only max_instance-1 CMI BIOS instances,
because all HPs seen so far are broken in that respect
(or there is a fundamental misunderstanding on my side, possible
as well). This way a disturbing ACPI Error Field exceeds Buffer
message is avoided.
- New bit to set on dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail (0x8) to
also query the highest guid instance of CMI bios
acpi_hp.4:
- Document dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose sysctl in man page
- Document new bit for dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail
- Add a section to manpage about hardware that has been reported
to work ok

retain all data. Prefer 2.79BSD to 2.7.9BSD, since the former is from

Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.
Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).
Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.
