These are some fun issues I've found with my upstairs wifi link at such a ridiculous
low signal level (like, < 5dB.)
* Add per-station tx/rx rssi statistics, in potential preparation to use that
in the RX rate control.
* Call the rate control on each received frame to let it potentially use
it as a hint for what rates to potentially use. It's a no-op right now.
* Do ANI calibration during scan as well. The ath_newstate() call was disabling the
ANI timer and only re-enabling it during transitions to _RUN. This has the
unfortunate side-effect that if ANI deafened the NIC because of interference
and it disassociated, it wouldn't be reset and the scan would never hear beacons.
The ANI configuration is stored at least globally on some HALs and per-channel
on others. Because of this a NIC reset wouldn't help; the ANI parameters would
simply be programmed back in.
Now, I have a feeling I also need to do this during AUTH/ASSOC too and maybe,
if I'm feeling clever, I need to reset the ANI parameters on a given channel
during a transition through INIT or if the VAP is destroyed/re-created.
However for now this gets me out of the immediate weeds with connectivity
upstairs (and thus I /can/ commit); I'll keep chipping away at tidying this
stuff up in subsequent commits.
Tested:
* AR9344 (Wasp), 2G STA mode
IPI_STOP is used after panic or when ddb is entered manually. MONITOR/
MWAIT allows CPUs that support the feature to sleep in a low power way
instead of spinning. Something similar is already used at idle.
It is perhaps especially useful in oversubscribed VM environments, and is
safe to use even if the panic/ddb thread is not the BSP. (Except in the
presence of MWAIT errata, which are detected automatically on platforms with
known wakeup problems.)
It can be tuned/sysctled with "machdep.stop_mwait," which defaults to 0
(off). This commit also introduces the tunable
"machdep.mwait_cpustop_broken," which defaults to 0, unless the CPU has
known errata, but may be set to "1" in loader.conf to signal that mwait
wakeup is broken on CPUs FreeBSD does not yet know about.
Unfortunately, Bhyve doesn't yet support MONITOR extensions, so this doesn't
help bhyve hypervisors running FreeBSD guests.

The S/G list must be mapped AS-IS without any optimisations.
This also implies that sg_dma_len() must be equal to sg->length.
Many Linux drivers assume this and this fixes some DRM issues.

Summary:
A few ports fail to build due to missing pmap-related definitions, which are
specific per-pmap type. This tries to appease those ports, by merging all
pmaps together.
A future change will move the inline page directory out of the Book-E pmap,
to eliminate the last #ifdefs in pmap.h and complete the merge.

Remove unnecessary `char*` casting for arguments passed to `cget*(3)`, and
deconst `_PATH_PRINTCAP` before passing it to `cget*` via the `printcapdb`
variable.
This unblocks ^/projects/runtime-coverage-v2 from building cleanly on
universe13a.freebsd.org. I suspect the issue was introduced through some
changes to `bsd.*.mk` inclusion on the branch, which I will continue to

directory entries that is caused by uninitialized directory entry
padding written to the disk. It can be viewed by any user with read
access to that directory. Up to 3 bytes of kernel stack are disclosed
per file entry, depending on the the amount of padding the kernel
needs to pad out the entry to a 32 bit boundry. The offset in the
kernel stack that is disclosed is a function of the filename size.
Furthermore, if the user can create files in a directory, this 3
byte window can be expanded 3 bytes at a time to a 254 byte window
with 75% of the data in that window exposed. The additional exposure
is done by removing the entry, creating a new entry with a 4-byte
longer name, extracting 3 more bytes by reading the directory, and
repeating until a 252 byte name is created.
This exploit works in part because the area of the kernel stack
that is being disclosed is in an area that typically doesn't change
that often (perhaps a few times a second on a lightly loaded system),
and these file creates and unlinks themselves don't overwrite the
area of kernel stack being disclosed.
It appears that this bug originated with the creation of the Fast
File System in 4.1b-BSD (Circa 1982, more than 36 years ago!), and
is likely present in every Unix or Unix-like system that uses
UFS/FFS. Amazingly, nobody noticed until now.
This update also adds the -z flag to fsck_ffs to have it scrub
the leaked information in the name padding of existing directories.
It only needs to be run once on each UFS/FFS filesystem after a
patched kernel is installed and running.

but recently became visible due to mac_ntpd being enabled by default.

This change creates an array of port maps indexed by numa domain
for lacp port selection. If we have lacp interfaces in more than
one domain, then we select the egress port by indexing into the
numa port maps and picking a port on the appropriate numa domain.
This is behavior is controlled by the new ifconfig use_numa flag
and net.link.lagg.use_numa sysctl/tunable (both modeled after the
existing use_flowid), which default to enabled.

multiples of 8. Then the misaligned pixels at the end were not copied.
Clean up variable misuse related to this bug. The width in bytes was
first calculated correctly and used to do complicated reblocking
correctly, but it was stored in an unrelated scratch variable and later
recalculated with an off-by-1-error, so the last byte (times 4 planes)
in the intermediate copy was not copied.
This doubly-misaligned case is especially slow. Misalignment complicates
the reblocking, and each misaligment requires a read before write, and this
read is still not done from the shadow buffer.

For that remove bogus _packed attribute from struct l_sockaddr

And continue to move into the linux_common module a code that is

or for external modules like linsysfs or linprocfs.

The Windows virtio driver ignores the advertized seg_max field and
assumes the host can accept up to 67 segments in indirect descriptors,
triggering an assert in the bhyve process.
This brings back r282922 but with a couple of changes:
- It raises the block interface segment limit to 128 instead of 67.
- Linux's virtio driver assumes that the segment limit is no
larger than the ring size. To avoid breaking Linux guests,
raise the VirtIO ring size to 128, and cap the VirtIO segment
limit at ring size - 2 (effectively 126).
