devices. The implementation allows read and write filters to be
created and piggybacks on the poll() file operation to determine when
a filter should trigger. The piggyback mechanism is simply to check
for the EWOULDBLOCK or EAGAIN return code from read(), write() or
ioctl() system calls and then update the kqueue() polling state bits.
The implementation is similar to the one found in the cuse(3) module.

Background:
The Linux VM open operation is called when a new VMA is
created on top of the current VMA. This is done through either mremap
flow or split_vma, usually due to mlock, madvise, munmap and so
on. This is currently not supported by the LinuxKPI.

- Allow "struct linux_file" to be refcounted when its "_file" member
is NULL by using its "f_count" field. The reference counts are
transferred to the file structure when the file descriptor is
installed.
- Add missing vdrop() calls for error cases during open().
- Set the "_file" member of "struct linux_file" during open. This
allows use of refcounting through get_file() and fput() with LinuxKPI

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

by Ed Maste (emaste), John Baldwin (jhb), Jilles Tjoelker (jilles),

ports investigation followed by an exp-run by Antoine Brodin (antoine).
Essential and all-embracing testing was done by Peter Holm (pho).
The heavy lifting of coordinating all these efforts and bringing the
project to completion were done by Konstantin Belousov (kib).

Previously open(2) was allowed in capability mode, with a comment that
suggested this was likely the case to facilitate debugging. The system
call would still fail later on, but it's better to disallow the syscall
altogether.
We now have the kern.trap_enotcap sysctl or PROC_TRAPCAP_CTL proccontrol
to aid in debugging.
In any case libc has translated open() to the openat syscall since
r277032.

kern_yield(0) effectively causes the calling thread to be rescheduled
immediately since it resets the thread's priority to the highest possible
value. This can cause livelocks when the pattern
"while (!trylock()) kern_yield(0);" is used since the thread holding the
lock may linger on the runqueue for the CPU on which the looping thread is
running.

kit, CK, in the LinuxKPI.
When threads are pinned to a CPU core or when there is only one CPU,
it can happen that a higher priority thread can call the CK
synchronize function while a lower priority thread holds the read
lock. Because the CK's synchronize is a simple wait loop this can lead
to a deadlock situation. To solve this problem use the recently
introduced CK's wait callback function.
When detecting a CK blocking condition figure out the lowest priority
among the blockers and update the calling thread's priority and
yield. If another CPU core is holding the read lock, pin the thread to
the blocked CPU core and update the priority. The calling threads
priority and CPU bindings are restored before return.
If a thread holding a CK read lock is detected to be sleeping, pause()
will be used instead of yield().

in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.
