While here, add regression tests for the functionality
time between ntp_adjtime() clock offset adjustments. This eliminates spurious
frequency steering after a large clock step (such as a 1970->2015 step on a
system with no battery-backed clock hardware).
This problem was discovered after the import of ntpd 4.2.8, which does things
in a slightly different (but still correct) order than the 4.2.4 we had
previously. In particular, 4.2.4 would step the clock then immediately after
use ntp_adjtime() to set the frequency and offset to zero, which captured the
post-step time-of-day as a side effect. In 4.2.8, ntpd sets frequency and
offset to zero before any initial clock step, capturing the time as 1970-ish,
then when it next calls ntp_adjtime() it's with a non-zero offset measurement.
This non-zero value gets multiplied by the apparent 45-year interval, which
blows up into a completely bogus frequency steer. That gets clamped to
500ppm, but that's still enough to make the clock drift so fast that ntpd has
to keep stepping it every few minutes to compensate.
- Tweek man page.
- Remove all mention of RANDOM_FORTUNA. If the system owner wants YARROW or DUMMY, they ask for it, otherwise they get FORTUNA.
- Tidy up headers a bit.
- Tidy up declarations a bit.
- Make static in a couple of places where needed.
- Move Yarrow/Fortuna SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT to randomdev.c, moving us towards a single file where the algorithm context is used.
- Get rid of random_*_process_buffer() functions. They were only used in one place each, and are better subsumed into those places.
- Remove *_post_read() functions as they are stubs everywhere.
- Assert against buffer size illegalities.
- Clean up some silly code in the randomdev_read() routine.
- Make the harvesting more consistent.
- Make some requested argument name changes.
- Tidy up and clarify a few comments.
- Make some requested comment changes.
- Make some requested macro changes.
* NOTE: the thing calling itself a 'unit test' is not yet a proper
unit test, but it helps me ensure things work. It may be a proper
unit test at some time in the future, but for now please don't make
any assumptions or hold any expectations.

CloudABI does not provide an explicit kill() system call, for the reason
that there is no access to the global process namespace. Instead, it
offers a raise() system call that can at least be used to terminate the
process abnormally.
CloudABI does not support installing signal handlers. CloudABI's raise()
system call should behave as if the default policy is set up. Call into
kern_sigaction(SIG_DFL) before calling sys_kill() to force this.

This is based on work done by jeff@ and jhb@, as well as the numa.diff
patch that has been circulating when someone asks for first-touch NUMA
on -10 or -11.
* Introduce a simple set of VM policy and iterator types.
* tie the policy types into the vm_phys path for now, mirroring how
the initial first-touch allocation work was enabled.
* add syscalls to control changing thread and process defaults.
* add a global NUMA VM domain policy.
* implement a simple cascade policy order - if a thread policy exists, use it;
if a process policy exists, use it; use the default policy.
* processes inherit policies from their parent processes, threads inherit
policies from their parent threads.
* add a simple tool (numactl) to query and modify default thread/process
policities.
* add documentation for the new syscalls, for numa and for numactl.
* re-enable first touch NUMA again by default, as now policies can be
set in a variety of methods.
This is only relevant for very specific workloads.
This doesn't pretend to be a final NUMA solution.
The previous defaults in -HEAD (with MAXMEMDOM set) can be achieved by
'sysctl vm.default_policy=rr'.
This is only relevant if MAXMEMDOM is set to something other than 1.
Ie, if you're using GENERIC or a modified kernel with non-NUMA, then
this is a glorified no-op for you.
Thank you to Norse Corp for giving me access to rather large
(for FreeBSD!) NUMA machines in order to develop and verify this.
Thank you to Dell for providing me with dual socket sandybridge
and westmere v3 hardware to do NUMA development with.
Thank you to Scott Long at Netflix for providing me with access
to the two-socket, four-domain haswell v3 hardware.
Thank you to Peter Holm for running the stress testing suite
against the NUMA branch during various stages of development!
Tested:
* MIPS (regression testing; non-NUMA)
* i386 (regression testing; non-NUMA GENERIC)
* amd64 (regression testing; non-NUMA GENERIC)
* westmere, 2 socket (thankyou norse!)
* sandy bridge, 2 socket (thankyou dell!)
* ivy bridge, 2 socket (thankyou norse!)
* westmere-EX, 4 socket / 1TB RAM (thankyou norse!)
* haswell, 2 socket (thankyou norse!)
* haswell v3, 2 socket (thankyou dell)
* haswell v3, 2x18 core (thankyou scott long / netflix!)
* Peter Holm ran a stress test suite on this work and found one
issue, but has not been able to verify it (it doesn't look NUMA
related, and he only saw it once over many testing runs.)
* I've tested bhyve instances running in fixed NUMA domains and cpusets;
all seems to work correctly.
Verified:
* intel-pcm - pcm-numa.x and pcm-memory.x, whilst selecting different
NUMA policies for processes under test.
Review:
This was reviewed through phabricator (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2559)
as well as privately and via emails to freebsd-arch@. The git history
with specific attributes is available at https://github.com/erikarn/freebsd/
in the NUMA branch (https://github.com/erikarn/freebsd/compare/local/adrian_numa_policy).
This has been reviewed by a number of people (stas, rpaulo, kib, ngie,
wblock) but not achieved a clear consensus. My hope is that with further
exposure and testing more functionality can be implemented and evaluated.
Notes:
* The VM doesn't handle unbalanced domains very well, and if you have an overly
unbalanced memory setup whilst under high memory pressure, VM page allocation
may fail leading to a kernel panic. This was a problem in the past, but it's
much more easily triggered now with these tools.
* This work only controls the path through vm_phys; it doesn't yet strongly/predictably
affect contigmalloc, KVA placement, UMA, etc. So, driver placement of memory
isn't really guaranteed in any way. That's next on my plate.

objects, i.e. for buffer objects which vnode was reclaimed. Buffer
cache cannot write such buffers. Return the error and discard the
buffer immediately on write attempt.
BO_DIRTY now always set during vnode reclamation, since it is used not
only for the INVARIANTS checks. Do allow placement of the clean
buffers on dead bufobj list, otherwise filesystems cannot use bufcache
at all after the devvp reclaim.
