aspect of time stamp configuration per interface rather than per BPF
descriptor. Prior to this, the order in which BPF devices were opened and the
per descriptor time stamp configuration settings could cause non-deterministic
and unintended behaviour with respect to time stamping. With the new scheme, a
BPF attached interface's tscfg sysctl entry can be set to "default", "none",
"fast", "normal" or "external". Setting "default" means use the system default
option (set with the net.bpf.tscfg.default sysctl), "none" means do not
generate time stamps for tapped packets, "fast" means generate time stamps for
tapped packets using a hz granularity system clock read, "normal" means
generate time stamps for tapped packets using a full timecounter granularity
system clock read and "external" (currently unimplemented) means use the time
stamp provided with the packet from an underlying source.
- Utilise the recently introduced sysclock_getsnapshot() and
sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs to ensure the system clock is only read once per
packet, regardless of the number of BPF descriptors and time stamp formats
requested. Use the per BPF attached interface time stamp configuration to
control if sysclock_getsnapshot() is called and whether the system clock read
is fast or normal. The per BPF descriptor time stamp configuration is then
used to control how the system clock snapshot is converted to a bintime by
sysclock_snap2bintime().
- Remove all FAST related BPF descriptor flag variants. Performing a "fast"
read of the system clock is now controlled per BPF attached interface using
the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree.
- Update the bpf.4 man page.

7.x, 8.x and 9.x with pf(4) imports: pfsync(4) should suppress CARP
preemption, while it is running its bulk update.
However, reimplement the feature in more elegant manner, that is
partially inspired by newer OpenBSD:
- Rename term "suppression" to "demotion", to match with OpenBSD.
- Keep a global demotion factor, that can be raised by several
conditions, for now these are:
- interface goes down
- carp(4) has problems with ip_output() or ip6_output()
- pfsync performs bulk update
- Unlike in OpenBSD the demotion factor isn't a counter, but
is actual value added to advskew. The adjustment values for
particular error conditions are also configurable, and their
defaults are maximum advskew value, so a single failure bumps
demotion to maximum. This is for POLA compatibility, and should
satisfy most users.
- Demotion factor is a writable sysctl, so user can do
foot shooting, if he desires to.

from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.
The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.
ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.
To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]
The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.
Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains

the policy used for all of userspace code.

curthread-accessing part of mtx_{,un}lock(9) when using a r210623-style
curthread implementation on sparc64, crashing the kernel in its early
cycles as PCPU isn't set up, yet (and can't be set up as OFW is one of the
things we need for that, which leads to a chicken-and-egg problem). What
happens is that due to the fact that the idea of r210623 actually is to
allow the compiler to cache invocations of curthread, it factors out
obtaining curthread needed for both mtx_lock(9) and mtx_unlock(9) to
before the branch based on kobj_mutex_inited when compiling the kernel
without the debugging options. So change kobj_class_compile_static(9)
to just never acquire kobj_mtx, effectively restricting it to its
documented use, and add a kobj_init_static(9) for initializing objects
using a class compiled with the former and that also avoids using mutex(9)
(and malloc(9)). Also assert in both of these functions that they are
used in their intended way only.
While at it, inline kobj_register_method() and kobj_unregister_method()

CAM.
Desriptor sense is a new sense data format that originated in SPC-3. Among
other things, it allows for an 8-byte info field, which is necessary to
pass back block numbers larger than 4 bytes.
This change adds a number of new functions to scsi_all.c (and therefore
libcam) that abstract out most access to sense data.
This includes a bump of CAM_VERSION, because the CCB ABI has changed.
Userland programs that use the CAM pass(4) driver will need to be
recompiled.
camcontrol.c: Change uses of scsi_extract_sense() to use
scsi_extract_sense_len().
Use scsi_get_sks() instead of accessing sense key specific
data directly.
scsi_modes: Update the control mode page to the latest version (SPC-4).
scsi_cmds.c,
scsi_target.c: Change references to struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed. This should be changed to allow the
user to specify fixed or descriptor sense, and then use
scsi_set_sense_data() to build the sense data.
ps3cdrom.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of setting sense data
manually.
cam_periph.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of using
scsi_extract_sense() or accessing sense data directly.
cam_ccb.h: Bump the CAM_VERSION from 0x15 to 0x16. The change of
struct scsi_sense_data from 32 to 252 bytes changes the
size of struct ccb_scsiio, but not the size of union ccb.
So the version must be bumped to prevent structure
mis-matches.
scsi_all.h: Lots of updated SCSI sense data and other structures.
Add function prototypes for the new sense data functions.
Take out the inline implementation of scsi_extract_sense().
It is now too large to put in a header file.
Add macros to calculate whether fields are present and
filled in fixed and descriptor sense data
scsi_all.c: In scsi_op_desc(), allow the user to pass in NULL inquiry
data, and we'll assume a direct access device in that case.
Changed the SCSI RESERVED sense key name and description
to COMPLETED, as it is now defined in the spec.
Change the error recovery action for a number of read errors
to prevent lots of retries when the drive has said that the
block isn't accessible. This speeds up reconstruction of
the block by any RAID software running on top of the drive
(e.g. ZFS).
In scsi_sense_desc(), allow for invalid sense key numbers.
This allows calling this routine without checking the input
values first.
Change scsi_error_action() to use scsi_extract_sense_len(),
and handle things when invalid asc/ascq values are
encountered.
Add a new routine, scsi_desc_iterate(), that will call the
supplied function for every descriptor in descriptor format
sense data.
Add scsi_set_sense_data(), and scsi_set_sense_data_va(),
which build descriptor and fixed format sense data. They
currently default to fixed format sense data.
Add a number of scsi_get_*() functions, which get different
types of sense data fields from either fixed or descriptor
format sense data, if the data is present.
Add a number of scsi_*_sbuf() functions, which print
formatted versions of various sense data fields. These
functions work for either fixed or descriptor sense.
Add a number of scsi_sense_*_sbuf() functions, which have a
standard calling interface and print the indicated field.
These functions take descriptors only.
Add scsi_sense_desc_sbuf(), which will print a formatted
version of the given sense descriptor.
Pull out a majority of the scsi_sense_sbuf() function and
put it into scsi_sense_only_sbuf(). This allows callers
that don't use struct ccb_scsiio to easily utilize the
printing routines. Revamp that function to handle
descriptor sense and use the new sense fetching and
printing routines.
Move scsi_extract_sense() into scsi_all.c, and implement it
in terms of the new function, scsi_extract_sense_len().
The _len() version takes a length (which should be the
sense length - residual) and can indicate which fields are
present and valid in the sense data.
Add a couple of new scsi_get_*() routines to get the sense
key, asc, and ascq only.
mly.c: Rename struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed.
sbp_targ.c: Use the new sense fetching routines to get sense data
instead of accessing it directly.
sbp.c: Change the firewire/SCSI sense data transformation code to
use struct scsi_sense_data_fixed instead of struct
scsi_sense_data. This should be changed later to use
scsi_set_sense_data().
ciss.c: Calculate the sense residual properly. Use
scsi_get_sense_key() to fetch the sense key.
mps_sas.c,
mpt_cam.c: Set the sense residual properly.
iir.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of building sense data by
hand.
iscsi_subr.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of grabbing sense data
directly.
umass.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() to build sense data.
Grab the sense key using scsi_get_sense_key().
Calculate the sense residual properly.
isp_freebsd.h: Use scsi_get_*() routines to grab asc, ascq, and sense key
values.
Calculate and set the sense residual.

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.
