reported at https://tsyrklevi.ch/clang_analyzer/freebsd_013017/. Many
issues from that list were already corrected. Most of them are for
compat32, old compat32 or affect both primary host ABI and compat32.
The freebsd32_kldstat(), for instance, was already fixed by using
malloc(M_ZERO). Patch includes correction to report the supplied

Change ntpadj_lock to spinlock always, and rename stuff removing
ADJ/adj from the names. ntp_update_second() requires ntp_lock and is
called from the tc_windup(), so ntp_lock must be a spinlock. Add
missed lock to ntp_update_second().

particular, the Giant is supposed to protect against parallel
ntp_adjtime(2) invocations. But, for instance, sys_ntp_adjtime() does
copyout(9) under Giant and then examines time_status to return syscall
result. Since copyout(9) could sleep, the syscall result might be
inconsistent.
Another and more important issue is that if PPS is configured,
hardpps(9) is executed without any protection against the parallel
top-level code invocation. Potentially, this may result in the
inconsistent state of the ntptime state variables, but I cannot say
how serious such distortion is. The non-functional splclock() call in
sys_ntp_adjtime() protected against clock interrupts calling hardpps()
in the pre-SMP era.
Modernize the locking. A mutex protects ntptime data. Due to the
hardpps() KPI legitimately serving from the interrupt filters (and
e.g. uart(4) does call it from filter), the lock cannot be sleepable
mutex if PPS_SYNC is defined. Otherwise, use normal sleepable mutex
to reduce interrupt latency.

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.
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)

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.

Also directly call swapper() at the end of mi_startup instead of
relying on swapper being the last thing in sysinits order.
Rationale:
- "RUN_SCHEDULER" was misleading, scheduling already takes place at that stage
- "scheduler" was misleading, the function swaps in the swapped out processes
- another SYSINIT(SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER, SI_ORDER_ANY) could never be
invoked depending on its relative order with scheduler; this was not obvious
and the bug actually used to exist

sysclock_getsnapshot() function allows the caller to obtain a snapshot of all
the system clock and timecounter state required to create time stamps at a later
point. The sysclock_snap2bintime() function converts a previously obtained
snapshot into a bintime time stamp according to the specified flags e.g. which
system clock, uptime vs absolute time, etc.
These KPIs enable useful functionality, including direct comparison of the
feedback and feed-forward system clocks and generation of multiple time stamps
with different formats from a single timecounter read.

SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY should only be used to call
scheduler() function which turns the initial thread into swapper proper
and thus there is no further SYSINIT processing.
Other SYSINITs with SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY may get ordered
after scheduler() and thus never executed. That particular relative
order is semi-arbitrary.
Thus, change such places to use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE.
Also, use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE instead of correct, but less appealing,
SI_ORDER_ANY - 1.

- period of zero disables saving, setting a non-zero period re-enables

we set the time back one second. This setting back one second is the

Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.
Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.
This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.
general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

The binary format "bintime" is a 32.64 format, it will go to 64.64
when time_t does.
The bintime format is available to consumers of time in the kernel,
and is preferable where timeintervals needs to be accumulated.
This change simplifies much of the magic math inside the timecounters
and improves the frequency and time precision by a couple of bits.
I have not been able to measure a performance difference which was not
a tiny fraction of the standard deviation on the measurements.
