r23081 introduced kern.dummy oid as a semi ABI compat for kern.maxsockbuf
that was moved to a new namespace. It never functioned as an alias of any
kind and was just returning 0 unconditionally, hence it was probably
provided to keep some 3rd party programmes happy about sysctl(3) not
reporting an error because of non-existing oid.
After nearly 23 years it seems reasonable to just hide it from sysctl(8)
list not to cause unnecessary confusion as for its purpose.

Amount of changes to the original code has been intentionally minimised
to ease diffing.
The changes are mostly mechanical, with the following exceptions:
* lltable handler is now called directly based of RTF_LLINFO flag presense.
* "report" logic for updating rtm in RTM_GET/RTM_DELETE has been simplified,
fixing several potential use-after-free cases in rt_addrinfo.
* llable asserts has been replaced with error-returning, preventing kernel
crashes when lltable gw af family is invalid (root required).

Summary:
As a transition aide, implement an alternative elfN_freebsd_fixup which
is called for old powerpc binaries. Similarly, add a translation to rtld to
convert old values to new ones (as expected by a new rtld).
Translation of old<->new values is incomplete, but sufficient to allow an
installworld of a new userspace from an old one when a new kernel is running.
Test Plan:
Someone needs to see how a new kernel/rtld/libc works with an old
binary. If if works we can probalby ship this. If not we probalby need
some more compat bits.

srandom(9) is meaningless on SMP systems or any system with, say,
interrupts. One could never rely on random(9) to produce a reproducible
sequence of outputs on the basis of a specific srandom() seed because the
global state was shared by all kernel contexts. As such, removing it is
literally indistinguishable to random(9) consumers (as compared with
retaining it).
Mark random(9) as deprecated and slated for quick removal. This is not to
say we intend to remove all fast, non-cryptographic PRNG(s) in the kernel.
It/they just won't be random(9), as it exists today, in either name or
implementation.
Before random(9) is removed, a replacement will be provided and in-tree
consumers will be converted.
Note that despite the name, the random(9) interface does not bear any
resemblance to random(3). Instead, it is the same crummy 1988 Park-Miller
LCG used in libc rand(3).
A weak symbol here is decidedly cleaner than any #ifdef soup or relocating
kbdinit, the former leading to maintenance required on addition of any
console/keyboard drivers and the latter pushing kbd init bits away from
where they're used.
This leads to the revert of r355806; this reduces duplication in keyboard
registration and driver switch lookup and leaves us with one authoritative
source for currently registered drivers. The reduced duplication later is
nice as we have more procedure involved in keyboard setup.
keyboard_driver->flags is used to more quickly detect bogus adds/removes.
From KPI consumers' perspective, nothing changes- kbd_add_driver of an
already-registered driver will succeed, and a single kbd_delete_driver will
later remove it as expected. In contrast to historical behavior,
kbd_delete_driver on a driver registered via linker set will now actually
de-register the driver so that it may not be used -- e.g. if kbdmux's
MOD_LOAD handler fails somewhere.
Detection for already-registered drivers in kbd_add_driver has improved, as
the previous SLIST_NEXT(driver) != NULL check would not have caught a driver
that's at the tail end.
kbdinit is now called from cninit() rather than via SYSINIT so that keyboard
drivers are available as early as console drivers. This is particularly
important as cnprobe will, in both syscons and vt, attempt to do any early
configuration of keyboard drivers built-in (see: kbd_configure).

Due to clang and LLD's tendency to use a PLT for builtins, and as they
don't have full support for EABI, we sometimes have to deal with a PLT in
.ko files in a clang-built kernel.
As such, augment the in-kernel linker to support jump table processing.
As there is no particular reason to support lazy binding in kernel modules,
only implement Secure-PLT immediate binding.
As part of these changes, add elf_cpu_parse_dynamic() to the MD API of the
in-kernel linker (except on platforms that use raw object files.)
The new function will allow MD code to act on MD tags in _DYNAMIC.
Use this new function in the PowerPC MD code to ensure BSS-PLT modules using
PLT will be rejected during insertion, and to poison the runtime resolver to
ensure we get a clear panic reason if a call is made to the resolver.

Now that it is not used after schedlock changes got merged.
Note the unlock routine temporarily still checks for it on account of just using
regular spin unlock.
This is a prelude towards a general clean up.
Don't hold the scheduler lock while doing context switches. Instead we
unlock after selecting the new thread and switch within a spinlock
section leaving interrupts and preemption disabled to prevent local
concurrency. This means that mi_switch() is entered with the thread
locked but returns without. This dramatically simplifies scheduler
locking because we will not hold the schedlock while spinning on
blocked lock in switch.
This change has not been made to 4BSD but in principle it would be
more straightforward.

The arm kernel stack unwinder has apparently never been able to unwind when
the path of execution leads through a kernel module. There was code that
tried to handle modules by looking for the unwind data in them, but it did
so by trying to find symbols which have never existed in arm kernel
modules. That caused the unwind code to panic, and because part of panic
handling calls into the unwind code, that just created a recursion loop.
Locating the unwind data in a loaded module requires accessing the Elf
section headers to find the SHT_ARM_EXIDX section. For preloaded modules
those headers are present in a metadata blob. For dynamically loaded
modules, the headers are present only while the loading is in progress; the
memory is freed once the module is ready to use. For that reason, there is
new code in kern/link_elf.c, wrapped in #ifdef __arm__, to extract the
unwind info while the headers are loaded. The values are saved into new
fields in the linker_file structure which are also conditional on __arm__.
In arm/unwind.c there is new code to locally cache the per-module info
needed to find the unwind tables. The local cache is crafted for lockless
read access, because the unwind code often needs to run in context where
sleeping is not allowed. A large comment block describes the local cache
list, so I won't repeat it all here.
Eliminate recursion from most thread_lock consumers. Return from
sched_add() without the thread_lock held. This eliminates unnecessary
atomics and lock word loads as well as reducing the hold time for
scheduler locks. This will eventually allow for lockless remote adds.

Previously swap space was freed on a best effort basis when a page that

convenient.
Instead, track when swap space is present. The first dirty is responsible
for deleting space or setting PGA_SWAP_FREE which will trigger background
scans to free the swap space.

This fixes a regression after r355311. Specifically, sched_preempt()
may trigger a context switch by calling thread_lock(), since
thread_lock() calls critical_exit() in its slow path and the interrupted
thread may have already been marked for preemption. This would happen
before tdq_ipipending is cleared, blocking further preemption IPIs. The
CPU can be left in this state indefinitely if the interrupted thread
migrates.
Rename tdq_ipipending to tdq_owepreempt. Any switch satisfies a remote
preemption request, so clear tdq_owepreempt in sched_switch() instead of
sched_preempt() to avoid subtle problems of the sort described above.
