Linux will not connect to a backend that's in state 3
(XenbusStateInitialised), it needs to be in state 2
(XenbusStateInitWait) for Linux to attempt to connect to the backend.
The protocol seems to suggest that the backend should indeed wait in
state 2 for the frontend to connect, which makes state 3 unusable for
disk backends.
Also make sure blkback will connect to the frontend if the frontend
reaches state 3 (XenbusStateInitialised) before blkback has processed
the results from the hotplug script (Submitted by Nathan Friess).

Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) is a speculative execution side channel
vulnerability identified by Jann Horn of Google Project Zero (GPZ) and
Ken Johnson of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC)
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1528.
Updated Intel microcode introduces a MSR bit to disable SSB as a
mitigation for the vulnerability.
Introduce a sysctl hw.spec_store_bypass_disable to provide global
control over the SSBD bit, akin to the existing sysctl that controls
IBRS. The sysctl can be set to one of three values:
0: off
1: on
2: auto
Future work will enable applications to control SSBD on a per-process
basis (when it is not enabled globally).
SSBD bit detection and control was verified with prerelease microcode.

This change adds support for a UBS<->RS232 adapter based on CH340 (or an
analogue) that I own. The device seems to have a newer internal version
(0x30) and the existing code incorrectly configures line control for it
resulting in garbled transmission. The changes are based on what I
learned in Linux drivers for the same hardware.
Additional changes:
- use UCHCOM_REG_LCR1 / UCHCOM_REG_LCR2 instead of explicit 0x18 and
0x25
- use NULL instead of 0 where a pointer is expected

Also, add definitions for more bits of UCHCOM_REG_LCR1 as seen in the
Linux driver. UCHCOM_LCR1_PARENB definition was different from that in
the Linux driver and clashed with newly added UCHCOM_LCR1_RX. I took a
liberty to change UCHCOM_LCR1_PARENB to the Linux definition as it was
unused in the driver anyway. This change should make
uchcom_cfg_set_break() easier to understand.

I have a system that is very unstable after resuming from suspend-to-RAM
but only if HPET is used as the event timer. The theory is that SMM
code / firmware could be enabling HPET for its own uses and unexpected
interrupts cause a trouble for it. Originally I wanted to solve the
problem in hpet_suspend() method, but that was insufficient as the event
timer could get reprogrammed again.
So, it's better, for my case and in general, to stop the event timer(s)
before entering the hardware suspend.

MMU is disabled.
This expands some earlier logic and avoids a number of potential problems:
1. The CPU may not be able to access the framebuffer in real mode (real
mode does not necessarily encompass all available memory, especially
under a hypervisor).
2. Real mode accesses generally assume cacheability, so it might not
even have worked.
3. The difference in cacheability between real mode and later (and
potentially earlier) points in the boot with the MMU on may cause
ERAT parity problems, resulting in a machine check.
This fixes real-mode (usefdt=1) early boot on the G5 iMac, which was
previously broken as a result of issue #3. Late boot will require some
other fixups.
muge was committed to the tree in r333713 but not yet connected to the
tree, and it crossed paths with the migration to using ck.

If a socket is closed or shutdown and a partial record (or what
appears to be a partial record) is waiting in the socket buffer,
discard the partial record and close the connection rather than
waiting forever for the rest of the record.

This driver supports two Microchip USB-Ethernet controllers:
LAN7800 USB 3.1 to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
LAN7515 USB 2 to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with built-in USB hub
The LAN7515 is the Ethernet controller on the Raspberry Pi 3B+.
At present there is no datasheet for the LAN7515, but it is effectively
a USB 2 hub combined with a LAN7800 controller. A comprehensive LAN7800
datasheet is at http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/LAN7800.
This driver is based on the structure of the smsc(4) driver which
supports Microchip/SMSC's LAN95xx family. (Microchip acquired SMSC
in May 2012.) The Linux lan78xx driver served as a reference for some
functionality and registers.
The 'muge' driver name comes from "Microchip USB Gigabit Ethernet".
I made some style adjustments and minor edits to Arshan's submission.
It will be connected to the build after additional review and testing.
Thanks to Microchip for providing a number of Evaluation Boards (EVBs)
for development and testing.

provisioned for NIC_ETHOFLD and the kernel has option RATELIMIT.
It is possible to use the chip's offload queues for normal NIC Tx and
not just TOE Tx. The difference is that these queues support out of
order processing of work requests and have a per-"flowid" mechanism for
tracking credits between the driver and hardware. This allows Tx for
any number of flows bound to different rate limits to be submitted to a
single Tx queue and the work requests for slow flows won't cause HOL
blocking for the rest.

This implements per-thread counters for PMC sampling. The thread
descriptors are stored in a list attached to the process descriptor.
These thread descriptors can store any per-thread information necessary
for current or future features. For the moment, they just store the counters
for sampling.
The thread descriptors are created when the process descriptor is created.
Additionally, thread descriptors are created or freed when threads
are started or stopped. Because the thread exit function is called in a
critical section, we can't directly free the thread descriptors. Hence,
they are freed to a cache, which is also used as a source of allocations
when needed for new threads.

There is no need to try to resume it after each smaller operations
(putchar, cursor_position, copy, fill).
The resume function already checks if the timer is armed before doing
anything, but it uses an atomic cmpset which is expensive. And resuming
the timer at the end of input processing is enough.
While here, we also skip timer resume if the input is for another
windows than the currently displayed one. I.e. if `ttyv0` is currently
displayed, any changes to `ttyv1` shouldn't resume the timer (which
would refresh `ttyv0`).
By doing the same benchmark as r333669, I get:
* vt(4), before r333669: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 760 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
... to process input, instead of inside each smaller operations such as
appending a character or moving the cursor forward.
In other words, before we were doing (oversimplified):
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
vtterm_cursor_position()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
Now, we are doing:
vtterm_pre_input()
VTBUF_LOCK()
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
vtterm_cursor_position()
vtterm_post_input()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
The situation was even worse when the vtterm_copy() and vtterm_fill()
callbacks were involved.
The new callbacks are:
* struct terminal_class->tc_pre_input()
* struct terminal_class->tc_post_input()
They are called in teken_input(), surrounding the while() loop.
The goal is to improve input processing speed of vt(4). As a benchmark,
here is the time taken to write a text file of 360 000 lines (26 MiB) on
`ttyv0`:
* vt(4), unmodified: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 1200 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
This is on a Haswell laptop with a GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel.
At the same time, the locking is changed in the vt_flush() function
which is responsible to draw the text on screen. So instead of
(indirectly) using VTBUF_LOCK() just to read and reset the dirty area
of the internal buffer, the lock is held for about the entire function,
including the drawing part.
The change is mostly visible while content is scrolling fast: before,
lines could appear garbled while scrolling because the internal buffer
was accessed without locks (once the scrolling was finished, the output
was correct). Now, the scrolling appears correct.
In the end, the locking model is closer to what syscons(4) does.
