We set the shareability attributes in TCR_EL1 on boot. These tell the
hardware the pagetables are in cached memory so there is no need to flush
the entries from the cache to memory.
This has about 4.2% improvement in system time and 2.7% improvement in
user time for a buildkernel -j48 on a ThunderX.
Keep the old code for now to allow for further comparisons.
struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.

This patch improves the boundary checks in busdma to allow more cases
using the regular page based kernel memory allocator. Especially in
the case of having a non-zero boundary in the parent DMA tag. For
example AMD64 based platforms set the PCI DMA tag boundary to
PCI_DMA_BOUNDARY, 4GB, which before this patch caused contiguous
memory allocations to be preferred when allocating more than PAGE_SIZE
bytes. Even if the required alignment was less than PAGE_SIZE bytes.
This patch also fixes the nsegments check for using kmem_alloc_attr()
when the maximum segment size is less than PAGE_SIZE bytes.
Updated some comments describing the code in question.

maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
matches static binaries.
Interpretation of the 'static' there is that the binary must not
specify an interpreter. In particular, shared objects are matched by
the brand if BI_CAN_EXEC_DYN is also set.
This improves precision of the brand matching, which should eliminate
surprises due to brand ordering.

CloudABI executables are statically linked and don't have an
interpreter. Setting the interpreter path to NULL used to work
previously, but r314851 introduced code that checks the string
unconditionally. Running CloudABI executables now causes a null pointer
dereference.
Looking at the rest of imgact_elf.c, it seems various other codepaths
already leaned on the fact that the interpreter path is set. Let's just
go ahead and pick an obviously incorrect interpreter path to appease
imgact_elf.c.

In case where GICD_CTLR.DS is 1, the IGROUPR registers are RW in
non-secure state and has to be initialized to 1 for the
corresponding interrupts to be delivered as Group 1 interrupts.
Update gic_v3_dist_init() and gic_v3_redist_init() to initialize
GICD_IGROUPRn and GICR_IGROUPRn respectively to address this. The
registers can be set unconditionally since the writes are ignored
in non-secure state when GICD_CTLR.DS is 0.
This fixes the hang on boot seen when running qemu-system-aarch64
