x86 needs sc, as does sparc64. powerpc doesn't use it by default, but some old
powermac notebooks do not work with vt yet for reasons unknonw. Even so, I've
removed it from powerpc LINT. It's not in daily use there, and the intent is to
100% switch to vt now that it works for that platform to limit support burden.
All the other architectures omit some or all of the screen savers from their
lint config. Move them to the x86 NOTES files and remove the exclusions. This
reduces slightly the number of savers sparc64 compiles, but since they are in
GENERIC, the overage is adequate and if someone reaelly wants to sort them out
in sparc64 they can sweat the details and the testing.

Nothing uses these anymore. They were for super small armv4 boards without
uboot. We removed armv4 support before 13.0, but neglected to garbage collect
this at the same time. Today, both flavors of armv5 kernels (mv and ralink) boot
via uboot which has its own compression scheme for boards that need it.
Note: OLDFILES has not been updated beacuse installkernel will move the whole
directory out of the way before installing the new kernel.

NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

had been done years ago. I did. All this time we've only compiled a LINT
kernel for TARGET_ARCH=arm. Now separate LINT-V5 and LINT-V7 configs are
generated and built.
There are two new files in arm/conf, NOTES.armv5 and NOTES.armv7, containing
some of what used to be in the arm NOTES file. That file now contains only
the bits that are common to v5 and v7.
The makeLINT.mk file now creates the LINT-V5 and LINT-V7 files by concatening
sys/conf/NOTES, arm/conf/NOTES, and arm/conf/NOTES.armv{5,7} in that order.
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

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.

RISC-V page table entries support A (accessed) and D (dirty) bits. The
spec makes hardware support for these bits optional. Implementations that
do not manage these bits in hardware raise page faults for accesses to a
valid page without A set and writes to a writable page without D set.
Check for these types of faults when handling a page fault and fixup the
PTE without calling vm_fault if they occur.

After long consultations with re@, core members and mmacy, revert
these changes. Followup changes will be made to mark them as
deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date
driver. Followup commits will be made to make this clear in the
installer. Followup commits to reduce POLA in ways we're still
exploring.
It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).
Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate
the negative effects as much as possible.

similar. The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The
original committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for
it. He's blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware
that's quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no

Remove RT1310.hints file reference: that file isn't in our tree.
This port hasn't been updated since it was committed, apart from
housekeeping. There's no known users, and the known hardware for
this port is too thin to run FreeBSD/arm these days well.
This also removes the last armv4 port. We've had no reports of armv4
systems working since FreeBSD 8. All the kernel support for armv4 has
not been removed since it's too intertwined with armv5 support (which
remains in the tree).

In the armv4/5 world device statements in these files were common, but in
the v6/7 world, other socs don't put device statements into those files, so
this just brings imx5 and imx6 into line with the current conventions.
It was introduced to the tree in r169320 and r169321 in May 2007.
It never got much use and never became a kernel default. The code
duplicates the default path quite a bit, with slight modifications. Just
yank out the cruft. Whatever goals were being aimed for can probably be met
within the existing framework, without a flag day option.
Mostly mechanical change: 'unifdef -m -UINTR_FILTER'.
