A couple of notes for this:
* WITNESS support, when enabled, is only used for shared locks in order
to avoid problems with the "disowned" locks
* KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD only exists in the lockmgr namespace in order
to assert for a generic thread (not curthread) owning or not the
lock. Really, this kind of check is bogus but it seems very
widespread in the consumers code. So, for the moment, we cater this
untrusted behaviour, until the consumers are not fixed and the
options could be removed (hopefully during 8.0-CURRENT lifecycle)
* Implementing KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD (not surported natively by
WITNESS) made necessary the introduction of LA_MASKASSERT which
specifies the range for default lock assertion flags
* About other aspects, lockmgr_assert() follows exactly what other
locking primitives offer about this operation.
- Build real assertions for buffer cache locks on the top of
lockmgr_assert(). They can be used with the BUF_ASSERT_*(bp)
paradigm.
- Add checks at lock destruction time and use a cookie for verifying
lock integrity at any operation.
- Redefine BUF_LOCKFREE() in order to not use a direct assert but
let it rely on the aforementioned destruction time check.
KPI results evidently broken, so __FreeBSD_version bumping and
manpage update result necessary and will be committed soon.
Side note: lockmgr_assert() will be used soon in order to implement

- In the case of lockmgr_disown() the lock result unlocked by witness
even if it is still held by the "kernel context"
- In the case of upgrading we can have 3 different situations:
* Total unlocking of the shared lock and nothing else
* Real witness upgrade if the owner is the first upgrader
* Shared unlocking and exclusive locking if the owner is not the first
upgrade but it is still allowed to upgrade
- LK_DRAIN is basically handled like an exclusive acquisition

LK_NODUP enable duplicated locks tracking. This will require manpages

MFC after: 1 day
while the thread does not hold the thread lock would stop blocking for
subsequent interruptible sleeps and would always immediately fail the
sleep with EWOULDBLOCK instead (even sleeps that didn't have a timeout).
Some background:
- KSE has a facility for allowing one thread to interrupt another thread.
During this process, the target thread aborts any interruptible sleeps
much as if the target thread had a pending signal. Once the target
thread acknowledges the interrupt, normal sleep handling resumes. KSE
manages this via the TDF_INTERRUPTED flag. Specifically, it sets the
flag when it sends an interrupt to another thread and clears it when
the interrupt is acknowledged. (Note that this is purely a software
interrupt sort of thing and has no relation to hardware interrupts
or kernel interrupt threads.)
- The old code for handling the sleep timeout race handled the race
by setting the TDF_INTERRUPT flag and faking a KSE-style thread
interrupt to the thread in the process of going to sleep. It probably
should have just checked the TDF_TIMEOUT flag in sleepq_catch_signals()
instead.
- The bug was that the sleepq code would set TDF_INTERRUPT but it was
never cleared. The sleepq code couldn't safely clear it in case there
actually was a real KSE thread interrupt pending for the target thread
(in fact, the sleepq timeout actually stomped on said pending interrupt).
Thus, any future interruptible sleeps (*sleep(.. PCATCH ..) or
cv_*wait_sig()) would see the TDF_INTERRUPT flag set and immediately
fail with EWOULDBLOCK. The flag could be cleared if the thread belonged
to a KSE process and another thread posted an interrupt to the original
thread. However, in the more common case of a non-KSE process, the
thread would pretty much stop sleeping.
- Fix the bug by just setting TDF_TIMEOUT in the sleepq timeout code and
not messing with TDF_INTERRUPT and td_intrval. With yesterday's fix to
fix sleepq_switch() to check TDF_TIMEOUT, this is now sufficient.

being properly cancelled by a timeout. In general there is a race
between a the sleepq timeout handler firing while the thread is still
in the process of going to sleep. In 6.x with sched_lock, the race was
largely protected by sched_lock. The only place it was "exposed" and had
to be handled was while checking for any pending signals in
sleepq_catch_signals().
With the thread lock changes, the thread lock is dropped in between
sleepq_add() and sleepq_*wait*() opening up a new window for this race.
Thus, if the timeout fired while the sleeping thread was in between
sleepq_add() and sleepq_*wait*(), the thread would be marked as timed
out, but the thread would not be dequeued and sleepq_switch() would
still block the thread until it was awakened via some other means. In
the case of pause(9) where there is no other wakeup, the thread would
never be awakened.
Fix this by teaching sleepq_switch() to check if the thread has had its
sleep canceled before blocking by checking the TDF_TIMEOUT flag and
aborting the sleep and dequeueing the thread if it is set.

- Each shared memory file descriptor is associated with a swap-backed vm
object which provides the backing store. Each descriptor starts off with
a size of zero, but the size can be altered via ftruncate(2). The shared
memory file descriptors also support fstat(2). read(2), write(2),
ioctl(2), select(2), poll(2), and kevent(2) are not supported on shared
memory file descriptors.
- shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) are now implemented as system calls that
manage shared memory file descriptors. The virtual namespace that maps
pathnames to shared memory file descriptors is implemented as a hash
table where the hash key is generated via the 32-bit Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
of the pathname.
- As an extension, the constant 'SHM_ANON' may be specified in place of the
path argument to shm_open(2). In this case, an unnamed shared memory
file descriptor will be created similar to the IPC_PRIVATE key for
shmget(2). Note that the shared memory object can still be shared among
processes by sharing the file descriptor via fork(2) or sendmsg(2), but
it is unnamed. This effectively serves to implement the getmemfd() idea
bandied about the lists several times over the years.

handler:
- Hold the 'tty_list_mutex' lock while we read all the fields out of the
struct tty for copying out later. Previously the pty(4) and pts(4)
destroy routines could set t_dev to NULL, drop their reference on the
tty and destroy the cdev while the sysctl handler was attempting to
invoke dev2udev() on the cdev being destroyed. This happened when the
sysctl handler read the value of t_dev prior to it being set to NULL
either due to it being stale or due to timing races. By holding the
list lock we guarantee that the destroy routines will block in ttyrel()
in that case and not destroy the cdev until after we've copied all of our
data. We may see a NULL cdev pointer or we may see the previous value,
but the previous value will no longer point to a destroyed cdev if we
see it.
- Fix the ttyfree() routine used by tty device drivers in their detach
methods to use ttyrel() on the tty so we don't leak them. Also, fix it
to use the same order of operations as pty/pts destruction (set t_dev
NULL, ttyrel(), destroy_dev()) so it cooperates with the sysctl handler.

This makes it possible to support ftruncate() on non-vnode file types in
the future.
- 'struct fileops' grows a 'fo_truncate' method to handle an ftruncate() on
a given file descriptor.
- ftruncate() moves to kern/sys_generic.c and now just fetches a file

- The vnode-specific portions of ftruncate() move to vn_truncate() in
vfs_vnops.c which implements fo_truncate() for vnode file types.

The vfs_bio.c fix causes us not to put a failed write back into the
dirty pool if the error returned was ENXIO. In that case, the buffer
is treated like any other clean buffer that's being retured. ENXIO
means the device isn't there anymore and will never be there again in
the future, so retrying is futile.
The vfs_mount.c fix treats 'ENXIO' as success for unmounting a file

dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:
- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message
Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).
One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.
Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.
While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.

After discussions with jeff, alc, (various Ironport people), david Xu,
and mostly Alfred (who found the problem) it has been demonstrated that this

Several points:
Since forking multiple threads is not allowed, and posix states that
any mutexes owned by othre threads wilol be owned in the child by
phantom threads, and therads shouldn't ba accessing shared structures without
protection, It can be proved that if this leads to the child process accessing
inconsistent data, it's a programming error.
The mode of thread_single() being used in fork() is the wrong one.
It is using SINGLE_NO_EXIT when it should be using SINGLE_BOUNDARY.
Even if this we used, System processes have no need to do it as they have
no userland to get inconsistent.

fixes a bug on UP machines with SMP kernels where the idle thread
constantly switches after trying to steal work from the local cpu.
- Make the idle stealing code more robust against self selection.
- Prefer to steal from the cpu with the highest load that has at least one
transferable thread. Before we selected the cpu with the highest
transferable count which excludes bound threads.

limitation that packet zone mbufs do in that one cannot disconnect
them and pass them around independently of the cluster. It would
likely be possible to eliminate this limitation in the future by
adding a second reference for the mbuf itself.

Before that fix, it was possible for the function to fail if number
of sharers changes between 'x = sx->sx_lock' step and atomic_cmpset_acq_ptr()
call.
This fixes ZFS problem when ZFS returns strange EIO errors under load.
In ZFS there is a code that depends on the fact that sx_try_slock() can
only fail if there is an exclusive owner.

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

- Improve load long-term load balancer by always IPIing exactly once.
Previously the delay after rebalancing could cause problems with
uneven workloads.
- Allow nice to have a linear effect on the interactivity score. This
allows negatively niced programs to stay interactive longer. It may be
useful with very expensive Xorg servers under high loads. In general
it should not be necessary to alter the nice level to improve interactive
response. We may also want to consider never allowing positively niced
processes to become interactive at all.
- Initialize ccpu to 0 rather than 0.0. The decimal point was leftover
from when the code was copied from 4bsd. ccpu is 0 in ULE because ULE
only exports weighted cpu values.

- smp rendezvous lock isn't really a leaf spin-mutex. Its bad placement in
the table, however, has been the source of a false positive LOR reporting
with the dt_lock. However, smp rendezvous lock would have had sched_lock
there for older lock, so it wasn't still a leaf lock.
- allpmaps is only used in ia32 architecture, so it is inserted in the
appropriate stub.

callout_drain() has to drop the callout_lock so it can acquire the
sleepqueue lock. The state of the callout can change while the
callout_lock is held however (for example, it can be rescheduled via
callout_reset()). The previous code assumed that the only state change
that could happen is that the callout could finish executing. This change
alters callout_drain() to effectively restart and recheck everything
after it acquires the sleepqueue lock thus handling all the possible
states that the callout could be in after any changes while callout_lock
was dropped.

64-bit counters) to a 4.x statfs structure (with long-sized counters).
- For block counters, we scale up the block size sufficiently large so
that the resulting block counts fit into a the long-sized (long for the
ABI, so 32-bit in freebsd32) counters. In 4.x the NFS client's statfs
VOP did this already. This can lie about the block size to 4.x binaries,
but it presents a more accurate picture of the ratios of free and
available space.
- For non-block counters, fix the freebsd32 stats converter to cap the
values at INT32_MAX rather than losing the upper 32-bits to match the
behavior of the 4.x statfs conversion routine in vfs_syscalls.c

that we properly clean up.
- Added support for Multiple ASCONF per new RFC. We only
(so far) accept input of these and cannot yet generate
a multi-asconf.
- Sysctl'd support for experimental Fast Handover feature. Always
disabled unless sysctl or socket option changes to enable.
- Error case in add-ip where the peer supports AUTH and ADD-IP
but does NOT require AUTH of ASCONF/ASCONF-ACK. We need to
ABORT in this case.
- According to the Kyoto summit of socket api developers
(Solaris, Linux, BSD). We need to have:
o non-eeor mode messages be atomic - Fixed
o Allow implicit setup of an assoc in 1-2-1 model if
using the sctp_**() send calls - Fixed
o Get rid of HAVE_XXX declarations - Done
o add a sctp_pr_policy in hole in sndrcvinfo structure - Done
o add a PR_SCTP_POLICY_VALID type flag - yet to-do in a future patch!
- Optimize sctp6 calls to reuse code in sctp_usrreq. Also optimize
when we close sending out the data and disabling Nagle.
- Change key concatenation order to match the auth RFC
- When sending OOTB shutdown_complete always do csum.
- Don't send PKT-DROP to a PKT-DROP
- For abort chunks just always checksums same for
shutdown-complete.
- inpcb_free front state had a bug where in queue
data could wedge an assoc. We need to just abandon
ones in front states (free_assoc).
- If a peer sends us a 64k abort, we would try to
assemble a response packet which may be larger than
64k. This then would be dropped by IP. Instead make
a "minimum" size for us 64k-2k (we want at least
2k for our initack). If we receive such an init
discard it early without all the processing.
- When we peel off we must increment the tcb ref count
to keep it from being freed from underneath us.
- handling fwd-tsn had bugs that caused memory overwrites
when given faulty data, fixed so can't happen and we
also stop at the first bad stream no.
- Fixed so comm-up generates the adaption indication.
- peeloff did not get the hmac params copied.
- fix it so we lock the addr list when doing src-addr selection
(in future we need to use a multi-reader/one writer lock here)
- During lowlevel output, we could end up with a _l_addr set
to null if the iterator is calling the output routine. This
means we would possibly crash when we gather the MTU info.
Fix so we only do the gather where we have a src address
cached.
- we need to be sure to set abort flag on conn state when
we receive an abort.
- peeloff could leak a socket. Moved code so the close will
find the socket if the peeloff fails (uipc_syscalls.c)
