mutexes or using any callouts when active.
Trying to lock a mutex when KDB is active or the scheduler is stopped
can result in infinite wait loops. The same goes for calling callout
related functions which in turn lock mutexes.
If the USB controller at which a USB keyboard is connected is idle
when KDB is entered, polling the USB keyboard via USB will always
succeed. Else polling may fail depending on which state the USB
subsystem and USB interrupt handler is in. This is unavoidable unless
KDB can wait for USB interrupt threads to complete before stalling the
CPU(s).

simultaneously detaching kernel drivers on the same USB device we can
get stuck in the "usb_wait_pending_ref_locked()" function because the
conditions needed for allowing detach are not met. The "destroy_dev()"
function waits for all system calls involving the given character
device to return. Character device system calls may lock the USB
enumeration lock, which is also held when "destroy_dev()" is
called. This can sometimes lead to a deadlock not noticed by
WITNESS. The current solution is to ensure the calling thread is the
only one holding the USB enumeration lock and prevent other threads
from getting refs while a USB device detach is ongoing. This turned
out not to be sufficient. To solve this deadlock we could use
"destroy_dev_sched()" to schedule the device destruction in the
background, but then we don't know when it is safe to free() the
private data of the character device. Instead a callback function is
executed by the USB explore process to kill off any leftover USB
character devices synchronously after the USB device explore code is
finished and the USB enumeration lock is no longer locked. This makes
porting easier and also ensures us that character devices must
eventually go away after a USB device detach.
While at it ensure that "flag_iserror" is only written when "priv_mtx"
is locked, which is protecting it.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

on USB HUBs by moving the code into the USB explore threads. The
deadlock happens because child devices of the USB HUB don't have the
expected reference count when called from outside the explore

create character devices. The deadlock can happen if an application is
issuing IOCTLs which require USB refcounting, at the same time the USB
device is detaching.
There is already a counter in place in the USB device structure to
detect this situation, but it was not always checked ahead of invoking
functions that might destroy character devices, like detach, set
configuration, set alternate interface or detach active kernel driver.

into the FreeBSD boot loader, typically for non-USB aware BIOSes, EFI systems
or embedded platforms. This is also useful for out of the system compilation
of the FreeBSD USB stack for various purposes. The USB kernel files can
now optionally include a global header file which should include all needed
definitions required to compile the FreeBSD USB stack. When the global USB
header file is included, no other USB header files will be included by
default.
Add new file containing the USB stack configuration for the
FreeBSD loader build.
Replace some __FBSDID()'s by /* $FreeBSD$ */ comments. Now all
USB files follow the same style.
Use cases:
- console in loader via USB

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.
