These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
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.

can fix the polling rate of the attached USB keyboards in the range

feature is only available when the USB_DEBUG option is set in the

This change is designed to let USB keyboard work in the panic context
with stop_scheduler_on_panic=1. Most of change consists of removing
mtx_owned() checks where they can be easily avoided. Some additional
lock cleanup is performed along the way.
A list of the smaller changes:
- newbus methods should be executed with Giant already held, just assert
this
- kbd methods called in the non-polling context should be executed with
Giant already held, just assert this
- Giant is recursive, so we should just take it where we must have it,
without redundant checks if we already have it
- thanks to recent syscons changes we don't need to go through the hoops
to detect if kernel is going to poll us; polling mode is now clearly
separated from non-polling mode
- at present the polling mode can be entered by only one thread
- document special cases in greater detail
Please note that the ukbd code and underlying USB code still lve
dangerously in the kdb context by trying to obtain various locks
including the Giant. If any of those locks are already held by the
stopped threads, then the things would blow up.
Another limitation of the ukbd driver is that it is detached before a
system enters the halt state.
With this commit we can enable kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic by default,
that should not introduce any regressions.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
Back in 2009 I changed the ABI of the GIO_KEYMAP and PIO_KEYMAP ioctls
to support wide characters. I created a patch to add ABI compatibility
for the old calls, but I didn't get any feedback to that.
It seems now people are upgrading from 8 to 9 they experience this
issue, so add it anyway.
system timer is stopped during shutdown and that the pause() statement in ukbd
causes infinite hang in this regard. The fix is to use mi_switch() instead of
pause() to do the required task switch to ensure that the required USB processes
get executed.

This brings USB bus more in line with how newbus is supposed to be used.
Also, because of the two-pass probing the following message was produced
by devd in default configuration when almost any USB device was
connected:
Unknown USB device: vendor <> product <> bus <>
This should be fixed now.
Note that many USB device drivers pass some information from probe
method to attach method via ivars. For this to continue working we rely
on the fact that the subr_bus code calls probe method of a winning driver
again before calling its attach method in the case where multiple
drivers claim to support a device. This is done because device
description is set in successful probe methods and we want to get a correct
device description from a winning driver. So now this logic is re-used
for setting ivars too.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.
