In FreeBSD, the current time is computed from uptime + boottime. Uptime
is a continuous, smooth function that's monotonically increasing. To
effect changes to the current time, boottime is adjusted. boottime is
mutable and shouldn't be cached against future need. Document the
current implementation, with the caveat that we may stop stepping
boottime on resume in the future and will step uptime instead (noted in
the commit message, but not in the code).

On arm64 we currently use a non-posted write for device memory, however
we should move to use posted writes. This is expected to work on most
hardware, however we will need to support a non-posted option for some
broken hardware.

Make it possible to reclaim items from a specific NUMA domain.
- Add uma_zone_reclaim_domain() and uma_reclaim_domain().
- Permit parallel reclamations. Use a counter instead of a flag to
synchronize with zone_dtor().
- Use the zone lock to protect cache_shrink() now that parallel reclaims
can happen.
- Add a sysctl that can be used to trigger reclamation from a specific
domain.
Currently the new KPIs are unused, so there should be no functional
change.

KASAN enables the use of LLVM's AddressSanitizer in the kernel. This
feature makes use of compiler instrumentation to validate memory
accesses in the kernel and detect several types of bugs, including
use-after-frees and out-of-bounds accesses. It is particularly
effective when combined with test suites or syzkaller. KASAN has high
CPU and memory usage overhead and so is not suited for production
environments.
The runtime and pmap maintain a shadow of the kernel map to store
information about the validity of memory mapped at a given kernel
address.
The runtime implements a number of functions defined by the compiler
ABI. These are prefixed by __asan. The compiler emits calls to
__asan_load*() and __asan_store*() around memory accesses, and the
runtime consults the shadow map to determine whether a given access is
valid.
kasan_mark() is called by various kernel allocators to update state in
the shadow map. Updates to those allocators will come in subsequent
commits.
The runtime also defines various interceptors. Some low-level routines
are implemented in assembly and are thus not amenable to compiler
instrumentation. To handle this, the runtime implements these routines
on behalf of the rest of the kernel. The sanitizer implementation
validates memory accesses manually before handing off to the real
implementation.
The sanitizer in a KASAN-configured kernel can be disabled by setting
the loader tunable debug.kasan.disable=1.

types.h defines device_t as a typedef of struct device *. struct device
is defined in subr_bus.c and almost all of the kernel uses device_t.
The LinuxKPI also defines a struct device, so type confusion can occur.
This causes bugs and ambiguity for debugging tools. Rename the FreeBSD
struct device to struct _device.

documention.
Commit SVN r364219 / Git 8a0edc914f changed random(9) to be a shim around
prng32(9) and inadvertently caused random(9) to begin returning numbers in the
range [0,2^32-1] instead of [0,2^31-1], where the latter has been the documented
range for decades.
The increased output range has been identified as the source of numerous bugs in
code written against the historical output range e.g. ipfw "prob" rules and
stats(3) are known to be affected, and a non-exhaustive audit of the tree
identified other random(9) consumers which are also likely affected.
As random(9) is deprecated and slated for eventual removal in 14.0, consumers
should gradually be audited and migrated to prng(9).

config_intrhook_drain will remove the hook from the list as
config_intrhook_disestablish does if the hook hasn't been called. If it has,
config_intrhook_drain will wait for the hook to be disestablished in the normal
course (or expedited, it's up to the driver to decide how and when
to call config_intrhook_disestablish).
This is intended for removable devices that use config_intrhook and might be
attached early in boot, but that may be removed before the kernel can call the
config_intrhook or before it ends. To prevent all races, the detach routine will
need to call config_intrhook_train.

Currently, OpenCrypto consumers can request asynchronous dispatch by
setting a flag in the cryptop. (Currently only IPSec may do this.) I
think this is a bit confusing: we (conditionally) set cryptop flags to
request async dispatch, and then crypto_dispatch() immediately examines
those flags to see if the consumer wants async dispatch. The flag names
are also confusing since they don't specify what "async" applies to:
dispatch or completion.
Add a new KPI, crypto_dispatch_async(), rather than encoding the
requested dispatch type in each cryptop. crypto_dispatch_async() falls
back to crypto_dispatch() if the session's driver provides asynchronous
dispatch. Get rid of CRYPTOP_ASYNC() and CRYPTOP_ASYNC_KEEPORDER().
Similarly, add crypto_dispatch_batch() to request processing of a tailq
of cryptops, rather than encoding the scheduling policy using cryptop
flags. Convert GELI, the only user of this interface (disabled by
default) to use the new interface.
Add CRYPTO_SESS_SYNC(), which can be used by consumers to determine
whether crypto requests will be dispatched synchronously. This is just
a helper macro. Use it instead of looking at cap flags directly.
Fix style in crypto_done(). Also get rid of CRYPTO_RETW_EMPTY() and
just check the relevant queues directly. This could result in some
unnecessary wakeups but I think it's very uncommon to be using more than
one queue per worker in a given workload, so checking all three queues
is a waste of cycles.
