operation as a write barrier. That description has never been correct,
and it has caused confusion. An acquire operation orders writes as well
as reads, and a release operation orders reads as well as writes.
Also, explicitly say that a thread doesn't see its own accesses being
reordered. The reordering of a thread's accesses is only (potentially)
visible to another thread. Thus, memory barriers need only be used to
control the ordering of accesses between threads, not within a thread.

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

Tested:
* MIPS (regression testing; non-NUMA)

* 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.

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

We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a

a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer

That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.

currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.

iscsi.ko unloadable, and building ctl.ko without iscsi.ko (using
MODULES_OVERRIDE) results in ctl.ko that is unloadable, due to missing

Note that to cancel blocked kevent(2) call, changelist must be empty,
since we cannot cancel a call which already made changes to the
process state. And in reverse, call which only makes changes to the
kqueue state, without waiting for an event, is not cancellable. This
makes a natural usage model to migrate kqueue loop to support
cancellation, where existing single kevent(2) call must be split into
two: first uncancellable update of kqueue, then cancellable wait for
events.
Note that this is ABI-incompatible change, but it is believed that
there is no cancel-safe code that relies on kevent(2) not being a
cancellation point. Option to preserve the ABI would be to keep

The SBUF_INCLUDENUL flag causes the nulterm byte at the end of the string
to be counted in the length of the data. If copying the data using the
sbuf_data() and sbuf_len() functions, or if writing it automatically with
a drain function, the net effect is that the nulterm byte is copied along
with the rest of the data.

in kern_gzio.c. The old gzio interface was somewhat inflexible and has not
worked properly since r272535: currently, the gzio functions are called with
a range lock held on the output vnode, but kern_gzio.c does not pass the
IO_RANGELOCKED flag to vn_rdwr() calls, resulting in deadlock when vn_rdwr()
attempts to reacquire the range lock. Moreover, the new gzio interface can
be used to implement kernel core compression.
This change also modifies the kernel configuration options needed to enable
userland core dump compression support: gzio is now an option rather than a
device, and the COMPRESS_USER_CORES option is removed. Core dump compression
is enabled using the kern.compress_user_cores sysctl/tunable.

The primary focus of these changes is to modernize FreeBSD's
tape infrastructure so that we can take advantage of some of the
features of modern tape drives and allow support for LTFS.
Significant changes and new features include:
o sa(4) driver status and parameter information is now exported via an
XML structure. This will allow for changes and improvements later
on that will not break userland applications. The old MTIOCGET
status ioctl remains, so applications using the existing interface
will not break.
o 'mt status' now reports drive-reported tape position information
as well as the previously available calculated tape position
information. These numbers will be different at times, because
the drive-reported block numbers are relative to BOP (Beginning
of Partition), but the block numbers calculated previously via
sa(4) (and still provided) are relative to the last filemark.
Both numbers are now provided. 'mt status' now also shows the
drive INQUIRY information, serial number and any position flags
(BOP, EOT, etc.) provided with the tape position information.
'mt status -v' adds information on the maximum possible I/O size,
and the underlying values used to calculate it.
o The extra sa(4) /dev entries (/dev/saN.[0-3]) have been removed.
The extra devices were originally added as place holders for
density-specific device nodes. Some OSes (NetBSD, NetApp's OnTap
and Solaris) have had device nodes that, when you write to them,
will automatically select a given density for particular tape drives.
This is a convenient way of switching densities, but it was never
implemented in FreeBSD. Only the device nodes were there, and that
sometimes confused users.
For modern tape devices, the density is generally not selectable
(e.g. with LTO) or defaults to the highest availble density when
the tape is rewritten from BOT (e.g. TS11X0). So, for most users,
density selection won't be necessary. If they do need to select
the density, it is easy enough to use 'mt density' to change it.
o Protection information is now supported. This is either a
Reed-Solomon CRC or CRC32 that is included at the end of each block
read and written. On write, the tape drive verifies the CRC, and
on read, the tape drive provides a CRC for the userland application
to verify.
o New, extensible tape driver parameter get/set interface.
o Density reporting information. For drives that support it,
'mt getdensity' will show detailed information on what formats the
tape drive supports, and what formats the tape drive supports.
o Some mt(1) functionality moved into a new mt(3) library so that
external applications can reuse the code.
o The new mt(3) library includes helper routines to aid in parsing
the XML output of the sa(4) driver, and build a tree of driver
metadata.
o Support for the MTLOAD (load a tape in the drive) and MTWEOFI
(write filemark immediate) ioctls needed by IBM's LTFS
implementation.
o Improve device departure behavior for the sa(4) driver. The previous
implementation led to hangs when the device was open.
o This has been tested on the following types of drives:
IBM TS1150
IBM TS1140
IBM LTO-6
IBM LTO-5
HP LTO-2
Seagate DDS-4
Quantum DLT-4000

Many tape driver changes, largely outlined above.
Increase the sa(4) driver read/write timeout from 4 to 32
minutes. This is based on the recommended values for IBM LTO
5/6 drives. This may also avoid timeouts for other tape
hardware that can take a long time to do retries and error
recovery. Longer term, a better way to handle this is to ask
the drive for recommended timeout values using the REPORT
SUPPORTED OPCODES command. Modern IBM and Oracle tape drives
at least support that command, and it would allow for more
accurate timeout values.
Add XML status generation. This is done with a series of
macros to eliminate as much duplicate code as possible. The
new XML-based status values are reported through the new
MTIOCEXTGET ioctl.
Add XML driver parameter reporting, using the new MTIOCPARAMGET
ioctl.
Add a new driver parameter setting interface, using the new
MTIOCPARAMSET and MTIOCSETLIST ioctls.
Add a new MTIOCRBLIM ioctl to get block limits information.
Add CCB/CDB building routines scsi_locate_16, scsi_locate_10,
and scsi_read_position_10().
scsi_locate_10 implements the LOCATE command, as does the
existing scsi_set_position() command. It just supports
additional arguments and features. If/when we figure out a
good way to provide backward compatibility for older
applications using the old function API, we can just revamp
scsi_set_position(). The same goes for
scsi_read_position_10() and the existing scsi_read_position()
function.
Revamp sasetpos() to take the new mtlocate structure as an
argument. It now will use either scsi_locate_10() or
scsi_locate_16(), depending upon the arguments the user
supplies. As before, once we change position we don't have a
clear idea of what the current logical position of the tape
drive is.
For tape drives that support long form position data, we
read the current position and store that for later reporting
after changing the position. This should help applications
like Bacula speed tape access under FreeBSD once they are
modified to support the new ioctls.
Add a new quirk, SA_QUIRK_NO_LONG_POS, that is set for all
drives that report SCSI-2 or older, as well as drives that
report an Illegal Request type error for READ POSITION with
the long format. So we should automatically detect drives
that don't support the long form and stop asking for it after
an initial try.
Add a partition number to the sa(4) softc.
Improve device departure handling. The previous implementation
led to hangs when the device was open.
If an application had the sa(4) driver open, and attempted to
close it after it went away, the cam_periph_release() call in
saclose() would cause the periph to get destroyed because that
was the last reference to it. Because destroy_dev() was
called from the sa(4) driver's cleanup routine (sacleanup()),
and would block waiting for the close to happen, a deadlock
would result.
So instead of calling destroy_dev() from the cleanup routine,
call destroy_dev_sched_cb() from saoninvalidate() and wait for
the callback.
Acquire a reference for devfs in saregister(), and release it
in the new sadevgonecb() routine when all devfs devices for
the particular sa(4) driver instance are gone.
Add a new function, sasetupdev(), to centralize setting
per-instance devfs device parameters instead of repeating the
code in saregister().
Add an open count to the softc, so we know how many
peripheral driver references are a result of open
sessions.
Add the D_TRACKCLOSE flag to the cdevsw flags so
that we get a 1:1 mapping of open to close calls
instead of a N:1 mapping.
This should be a no-op for everything except the
control device, since we don't allow more than one
open on non-control devices.
However, since we do allow multiple opens on the
control device, the combination of the open count
and the D_TRACKCLOSE flag should result in an
accurate peripheral driver reference count, and an
accurate open count.
The accurate open count allows us to release all
peripheral driver references that are the result
of open contexts once we get the callback from devfs.
sys/sys/mtio.h:
Add a number of new mt(4) ioctls and the requisite data
structures. None of the existing interfaces been removed
or changed.
This includes definitions for the following new ioctls:
MTIOCRBLIM /* get block limits */
MTIOCEXTLOCATE /* seek to position */
MTIOCEXTGET /* get tape status */
MTIOCPARAMGET /* get tape params */
MTIOCPARAMSET /* set tape params */
MTIOCSETLIST /* set N params */
usr.bin/mt/Makefile:
mt(1) now depends on libmt, libsbuf and libbsdxml.
usr.bin/mt/mt.1:
Document new mt(1) features and subcommands.
usr.bin/mt/mt.c:
Implement support for mt(1) subcommands that need to
use getopt(3) for their arguments.
Implement a new 'mt status' command to replace the old
'mt status' command. The old status command has been
renamed 'ostatus'.
The new status function uses the MTIOCEXTGET ioctl, and
therefore parses the XML data to determine drive status.
The -x argument to 'mt status' allows the user to dump out
the raw XML reported by the kernel.
The new status display is mostly the same as the old status
display, except that it doesn't print the redundant density
mode information, and it does print the current partition
number and position flags.
Add a new command, 'mt locate', that will supersede the
old 'mt setspos' and 'mt sethpos' commands. 'mt locate'
implements all of the functionality of the MTIOCEXTLOCATE
ioctl, and allows the user to change the logical position
of the tape drive in a number of ways. (Partition,
block number, file number, set mark number, end of data.)
The immediate bit and the explicit address bits are
implemented, but not documented in the man page.
Add a new 'mt weofi' command to use the new MTWEOFI ioctl.
This allows the user to ask the drive to write a filemark
without waiting around for the operation to complete.
Add a new 'mt getdensity' command that gets the XML-based
tape drive density report from the sa(4) driver and displays
it. This uses the SCSI REPORT DENSITY SUPPORT command
to get comprehensive information from the tape drive about
what formats it is able to read and write.
Add a new 'mt protect' command that allows getting and setting
tape drive protection information. The protection information
is a CRC tacked on to the end of every read/write from and to
the tape drive.

RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.

socket-buffer implementations, introduce a return value for MCLGET()
(and m_cljget() that underlies it) to allow the caller to avoid testing
M_EXT itself. Update all callers to use the return value.
With this change, very few network device drivers remain aware of
M_EXT; the primary exceptions lie in mbuf-chain pretty printers for
debugging, and in a few cases, custom mbuf and cluster allocation
implementations.
NB: This is a difficult-to-test change as it touches many drivers for
which I don't have physical devices. Instead we've gone for intensive
review, but further post-commit review would definitely be appreciated
to spot errors where changes could not easily be made mechanically,
but were largely mechanical in nature.

sys/kern_subr_taskqueue.c:
Modify taskqueue_drain_all() processing to use a temporary
"barrier task", rather than rely on a user task that may
be destroyed during taskqueue_drain_all()'s execution. The
barrier task is queued behind all previously queued tasks
and then has its priority elevated so that future tasks
cannot pass it in the queue.
Use a similar barrier scheme to drain threads processing
current tasks. This requires taskqueue_run_locked() to
insert and remove the taskqueue_busy object for the running
thread for every task processed.
share/man/man9/taskqueue.9:
Remove warning about live-lock issues with taskqueue_drain_all()
and indicate that it does not wait for tasks queued after
it begins processing.
roughly 10 years, and the driver has not enjoyed any significant maintenance
since long before that. Despite well-meaning efforts from a number of
people, myself included, it never made the jump to 64-bit and was relegated
to the back-corners of i386. Now its frailty is hampering forward progress
with Clang. Any renewed engineering efforts are of course welcome and can
happen outside of the tree. No MFC of this is planned.
Clarify some statements around PMTUD blackhole detection to make
the behavior more clear in the man page.
