a da(4) instance going away while GEOM is still probing it.
In this case, the GEOM disk class instance has been created by
disk_create(), and the taste of the disk is queued in the GEOM
event queue.
While that event is queued, the da(4) instance goes away. When the
open call comes into the da(4) driver, it dereferences the freed
(but non-NULL) peripheral pointer provided by GEOM, which results
in a panic.
The solution is to add a callback to the GEOM disk code that is
called when all of its resources are cleaned up. This is
implemented inside GEOM by adding an optional callback that is
called when all consumers have detached from a provider, and the
provider is about to be deleted.
scsi_cd.c,
scsi_da.c: In the register routine for the cd(4) and da(4)
routines, acquire a reference to the CAM peripheral
instance just before we call disk_create().
Use the new GEOM disk d_gone() callback to register
a callback (dadiskgonecb()/cddiskgonecb()) that
decrements the peripheral reference count once GEOM
has finished cleaning up its resources.
In the cd(4) driver, clean up open and close
behavior slightly. GEOM makes sure we only get one
open() and one close call, so there is no need to
set an open flag and decrement the reference count
if we are not the first open.
In the cd(4) driver, use cam_periph_release_locked()
in a couple of error scenarios to avoid extra mutex
calls.
geom.h: Add a new, optional, providergone callback that
is called when a provider is about to be deleted.
geom_disk.h: Add a new d_gone() callback to the GEOM disk
interface.
Bump the DISK_VERSION to version 2. This probably
should have been done after a couple of previous
changes, especially the addition of the d_getattr()
callback.
geom_disk.c: Add a providergone callback for the disk class,
g_disk_providergone(), that calls the user's
d_gone() callback if it exists.
Bump the DISK_VERSION to 2.
geom_subr.c: In g_destroy_provider(), call the providergone
callback if it has been provided.
In g_new_geomf(), propagate the class's
providergone callback to the new geom instance.
blkfront.c: Callers of disk_create() are supposed to pass in
DISK_VERSION, not an explicit disk API version
number. Update the blkfront driver to do that.
disk.9: Update the disk(9) man page to include information
on the new d_gone() callback, as well as the
previously added d_getattr() callback, d_descr
field, and HBA PCI ID fields.

Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs. MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores. Now
we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
accordingly, and ignore disabled cores. This prevents us from executing
methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
exist. Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects. To
work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual
page change.

Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.
Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.
Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.
Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.
So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.
Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.
- While here, document all sysctl variables in bpf.4

hardclock() tick should be run on every active CPU, or on only one.
On my tests, avoiding extra interrupts because of this on 8-CPU Core i7
system with HZ=10000 saves about 2% of performance. At this moment option
implemented only for global timers, as reprogramming per-CPU timers is
too expensive now to be compensated by this benefit, especially since we
still have to regularly run hardclock() on at least one active CPU to
update system uptime. For global timer it is quite trivial: timer runs
always, but we just skip IPIs to other CPUs when possible.
Option is enabled by default now, keeping previous behavior, as periodic
hardclock() calls are still used at least to implement setitimer(2) with
ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF arguments. But since default schedulers don't
depend on it since r232917, we are much more free to experiment with it.
