First, r204494 introduced dpcpu_off in struct __kvm and it was allocated
from _kvm_dpcpu_init() but it was not free(3)'ed from kvm_close(3).
Second, r291406 introduced kvm_nlist2(3) and converted kvm_nlist(3) to
use the new function but it did not free the temporary buffer.
Also, check possible calloc(3) failure while I am in the neighborhood.

Revert parts of r353274 replacing vnet_state with a shutdown flag.
Not having the state flag for the current SI_SUB_* makes it harder to debug
kernel or module panics related to VNET bringup or teardown.
Not having the state also does not allow us to check for other dependency
levels between components, e.g. for moving interfaces.
Expand the VNET structure with the new boolean flag indicating that we are
doing a shutdown of a given vnet and update the vnet magic cookie for the
change.
Update libkvm to compile with a bool in the kernel struct.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for (external) module builds to more easily detect
the change.

This change adds a new libkvm function, kvm_kerndisp(), that can be used to
retrieve the kernel displacement, that is the difference between the kernel's
base virtual address at run time and the kernel base virtual address specified
in the kernel image file.
This will be used by kgdb, to properly relocate kernel symbols, when needed.

Rather than using #ifdef's around a static char array, use the
existing helper macro from <sys/cdefs.h> for SCCS IDs. To
preserve existing behavior, add -DNO__SCCSID to CFLAGS to not

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
This API allows callers to enumerate all known pages, including any
direct map & kernel map virtual addresses, physical addresses, size,
offset into the core, & protection configured.
For architectures that support direct map addresses, also generate pages
for any direct map only addresses that are not associated with kernel
map addresses.

Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/96
This change consists of two parts:
- allow libkvm to recognize /dev/vmm/* character devices as devices that
provide access to the physical memory of a system (similarly to /dev/fwmem*)
- allow libkvm to recognize that /dev/vmm/* and /dev/fwmem* devices provide
access to the physical memory of live remote systems and, thus, the memory
is writable
As a result, it should be possible to run commands like
$ kgdb -w /path/to/kernel /dev/fwmem0.0
$ kgdb /path/to/kernel /dev/vmm/guest

Instead of using a hash table to convert physical page addresses to offsets
in the sparse page array, cache the number of bits set for each 4MB chunk of
physical pages. Upon lookup, find the nearest cached population count, then
add/subtract the number of bits from that point to the page's PTE bit.
Then multiply by page size and add to the sparse page map's base offset.
This replaces O(n) worst-case lookup with O(1) (plus a small number of bits
to scan in the bitmap). Also, for a 128GB system, a typical kernel core of
about 8GB will now only require ~4.5MB of RAM for this approach instead of
~48MB as with the hash table.
More concretely, /usr/sbin/crashinfo against the same core improves from a
max RSS of 188MB and wall time of 43.72s (33.25 user 2.94 sys) to 135MB and
9.43s (2.58 user 1.47 sys). Running "thread apply all bt" in kgdb has a
similar RSS improvement, and wall time drops from 4.44s to 1.93s.

- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of

- Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist
that uses kvaddr_t for n_value.
- Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor
is for a native kernel and memory image.
- Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles(). It drops the
unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for
a symbol resolving function. Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from
libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross
kernels require a resolver.
- Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses
struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist.
- Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses
kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address.
- Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend.
Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given
vmcore format.
- Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for
powerpc cores).
- Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used
by the minidump backends.
- Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and
to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that
vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE). Static assertions are present when
a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants
match the real ones.
- Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms. This means
that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation
and read data from a vmcore of any platform.

produced will be called libkvm-${ARCH} instead of libkvm. This allows
installing it alongside the native version.
For symbol lookups, use ps_pglobal_lookup() instead of __fdnlist()
when building a cross libkvm. It is assumed that the cross tool that
uses the cross libkvm also provides an implementation for this
proc_services function.
Note that this commit does not change any of the architecture-specific
code for cross-compilation.
- make WARNS=6 clean for archs w/o strict alignment requirments
- add const, ANSIfy, remove unused vars, cast types for comparison
- thanks to differing definitions of VM_MIN_ADDRESS across our archs, we
need to trick the compiler to not complain about signedness. We could
either fix VM_MIN_ADDRESS to always be a simple integer or make the
check conditional on $ARCH.

(DPCPU):
A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes
of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU
symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data.
Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a
series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.
This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the
values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on
similar code handling virtualized global variables.

without VIMAGE virtualization in the kernel.
If we cannot resolve a symbol try to see if we can find it with
prefix of the virtualized subsystem, currently only "vnet_entry"
by identifying either the vnet of the current process for a
live system or the vnet of proc0 (or of dumptid if compiled
in a non-default way).
The way this is done currently allows us to only touch libkvm
but no single application. Once we are going to virtualize more
subsystems we will have to review this decision for better scaling.
