Prior to this change an ASID was hard allocated to a guest and shared by all
its vcpus. The meant that the number of VMs that could be created was limited
to the number of ASIDs supported by the CPU. It was also inefficient because
it forced a TLB flush on every VMRUN.
With this change the number of guests that can be created is independent of
the number of available ASIDs. Also, the TLB is flushed only when a new ASID
is allocated.

The MD allocators were very common, however there were some minor
differencies. These differencies were all consolidated in the MI allocator,
under ifdefs. The defines from machine/vmparam.h turn on features required
for a particular machine. For details look in the comment in sys/sf_buf.h.
As result no MD code left in sys/*/*/vm_machdep.c. Some arches still have

This is usually not an issue as long as one of the other vcpus properly resets

Fix this by waking up periodically and returning from vm_handle_hlt() if

vm_copy_setup() can return '1' if it encounters a fault when walking the
guest page tables. This is a guest issue and is now handled properly by
resuming the guest to handle the fault.
involves updating the corresponding page tables followed by accesses to the
pages in question. This sequence is subject to the situation exactly described
in the "AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming"
rev. 3.23, "7.3.1 Special Coherency Considerations" [1, p. 171 f.]. Therefore,
issuing the INVLPG right after modifying the PTE bits is crucial (see also
r269050).
For the amd64 PMAP code, the order of instructions was already correct. The
above fact still is worth documenting, though.

The faulting instruction needs to be restarted when the exception handler
is done handling the fault. bhyve now does this correctly by setting
'vmexit[vcpu].inst_length' to zero so the %rip is not advanced.
A minor complication is that the fault injection APIs are used by instruction
emulation code that is shared by vmm.ko and bhyve. Thus the argument that
refers to 'struct vm *' in kernel or 'struct vmctx *' in userspace needs to
be loosely typed as a 'void *'.
Setting PSE together with PAE or in long mode just makes the PSE bit
completely ignored, so don't set it.

A nested exception condition arises when a second exception is triggered while
delivering the first exception. Most nested exceptions can be handled serially
but some are converted into a double fault. If an exception is generated during
delivery of a double fault then the virtual machine shuts down as a result of
a triple fault.
vm_exit_intinfo() is used to record that a VM-exit happened while an event was
being delivered through the IDT. If an exception is triggered while handling
the VM-exit it will be treated like a nested exception.
vm_entry_intinfo() is used by processor-specific code to get the event to be
injected into the guest on the next VM-entry. This function is responsible for
deciding the disposition of nested exceptions.

several reasons for this change:
pmap_change_wiring() has never (in my memory) been used to set the wired
attribute on a virtual page. We have always used pmap_enter() to do that.
Moreover, it is not really safe to use pmap_change_wiring() to set the wired
attribute on a virtual page. The description of pmap_change_wiring() says
that it assumes the existence of a mapping in the pmap. However, non-wired
mappings may be reclaimed by the pmap at any time. (See pmap_collect().)
Many implementations of pmap_change_wiring() will crash if the mapping does
not exist.
pmap_unwire() accepts a range of virtual addresses, whereas
pmap_change_wiring() acts upon a single virtual page. Since we are
typically unwiring a range of virtual addresses, pmap_unwire() will be more
efficient. Moreover, pmap_unwire() allows us to unwire superpage mappings.
Previously, we were forced to demote the superpage mapping, because
pmap_change_wiring() only allowed us to express the unwiring of a single
base page mapping at a time. This added to the overhead of unwiring for
large ranges of addresses, including the implicit unwiring that occurs at
process termination.
Implementations for arm and powerpc will follow.

The UEFI framebuffer driver vt_efifb requires vt(4), so add a mechanism
for the startup routine to set the preferred console. This change is
ugly because console init happens very early in the boot, making a
cleaner interface difficult. This change is intended only to facilitate
the sc(4) / vt(4) transition, and can be reverted once vt(4) is the
default.
These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
