generator, found on IvyBridge and supposedly later CPUs, accessible
with RDRAND instruction.
From the Intel whitepapers and articles about Bull Mountain, it seems
that we do not need to perform post-processing of RDRAND results, like
AES-encryption of the data with random IV and keys, which was done for
Padlock. Intel claims that sanitization is performed in hardware.
Make both Padlock and Bull Mountain random generators support code
covered by kernel config options, for the benefit of people who prefer
minimal kernels. Also add the tunables to disable hardware generator
even if detected.

64bit and 32bit ABIs. As a side-effect, it enables AVX on capable
CPUs.
In particular:
- Query the CPU support for XSAVE, list of the supported extensions
and the required size of FPU save area. The hw.use_xsave tunable is
provided for disabling XSAVE, and hw.xsave_mask may be used to
select the enabled extensions.
- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the
(run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack,
right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and
enabled.
- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.
- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while
there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.
- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to
consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now
contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers
of fpu_kern KPI both on i386 and amd64.

thread could read a snapshot of it's current priority, then a different
thread could change the first thread's priority, then the original thread
would call sched_prio() inside msleep() undoing the change made by the
second thread. I used a priority of zero as no thread that calls msleep()
or tsleep() should be specifying a priority of zero anyway.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

- Trade off granularity to reduce overhead, since the current model
doesn't appear to reduce contention substantially: move to a single
harvest mutex protecting harvesting queues, rather than one mutex
per source plus a mutex for the free list.
- Reduce mutex operations in a harvesting event to 2 from 4, and
maintain lockless read to avoid mutex operations if the queue is
full.
- When reaping harvested entries from the queue, move all entries from
the queue at once, and when done with them, insert them all into a
thread-local queue for processing; then insert them all into the
empty fifo at once. This reduces O(4n) mutex operations to O(2)
mutex operations per wakeup.
In the future, we may want to look at re-introducing granularity,
although perhaps at the granularity of the source rather than the
source class; both the new and old strategies would cause contention
between different instances of the same source (i.e., multiple
network interfaces).

full, avoiding the cost of mutex operations if it is. We re-test
once the mutex is acquired to make sure it's still true before doing
the -modify-write part of the read-modify-write. Note that due to
the maximum fifo depth being pretty deep, this is unlikely to improve
harvesting performance yet.
