There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

The symbol version for _mcount was removed 12 years ago in r169525 from
gmon/Symbol.map, to be added to the per-arch Symbol.map. mips was overlooked
in this, so _mcount has no symver. Add it back to where it should have been,
rather than where it would go if it were added today, since we're correcting
a historical mistake.
Additionally, _mcount is getting thrown into .mdebug.abi32 in the llvm80/90
world as it's not getting explicitly thrown into .text, so do this now. This
fixes the libc build that was previously failing due to relocations in
.mdebug.abi32. This is specifically due to the way clang's integrated AS
works and that they emit the .mdebug.abiNN section early in the process. An
LLVM bug has been submitted[0] and an agreement has been made that the
mips backend should switch to .text following .mdebug.abiNN for
compatibility.

Many extern struct pcpu <something>__pcpu declarations were
copied/pasted in sources. The issue is that the definition is MD, but
it cannot be provided by machine/pcpu.h due to actual struct pcpu
defined in sys/pcpu.h later than the inclusion of machine/pcpu.h.
This forced the copying when other code needed direct access to
__pcpu. There is no way around it, due to machine/pcpu.h supplying
part of struct pcpu fields.
To work around the problem, add a new machine/pcpu_aux.h header, which
should fill any needed MD definitions after struct pcpu definition is
completed. This allows to remove copies of __pcpu spread around the
source. Also on x86 it makes it possible to remove work arounds like
OFFSETOF_CURTHREAD or clang specific warnings supressions.

Casueword(9) on ll/sc architectures must be prepared for userspace
constantly modifying the same cache line as containing the CAS word,
and not loop infinitely. Otherwise, rogue userspace livelocks the
kernel.
To fix the issue, change casueword(9) interface to return new value 1
indicating that either comparision or store failed, instead of relying
on the oldval == *oldvalp comparison. The primitive no longer retries
the operation if it failed spuriously. Modify callers of
casueword(9), all in kern_umtx.c, to handle retries, and react to
stops and requests to terminate between retries.
On x86, despite cmpxchg should not return spurious failures, we can
take advantage of the new interface and just return PSL.ZF.

The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.
This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change
we remove a number of page lock acquisitions.
No functional change is intended. __FreeBSD_version is bumped.

This allows replacing "sys/eventfilter.h" includes with "sys/_eventfilter.h"

pollution substantially.
EVENTHANDLER_DECLARE and EVENTHANDLER_LIST_DECLAREs were moved out of .c
files into appropriate headers (e.g., sys/proc.h, powernv/opal.h).
As a side effect of reduced header pollution, many .c files and headers no
longer contain needed definitions. The remainder of the patch addresses
adding appropriate includes to fix those files.
LOCK_DEBUG and LOCK_FILE_LINE_ARG are moved to sys/_lock.h, as required by
sys/mutex.h since r326106 (but silently protected by header pollution prior

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default. But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.
Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances. This is considered a future work
item.
On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot. But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.
This change adds several tunables and diagnostic sysctls, documented
thoroughly in UPDATING and sys/dev/random/random_infra.c.
