Similarly as we already do for arm64, for mitigation is necessary to
flush branch predictor when we:
- do task switch
- receive prefetch abort on non-userspace address
The user can disable this mitigation by setting 'machdep.disable_bp_hardening'
sysctl variable, or it can check actual system status by reading
'machdep.spectre_v2_safe'
The situation is complicated by fact that:
- for Cortex-A8, the BPIALL instruction is effectively NOP until the IBE bit
in ACTLR is set.
- for Cortex-A15, the BPIALL is always NOP. The branch predictor can be
only flushed by doing ICIALLU with special bit (Enable invalidates of BTB)
set in ACTLR.
Since access to the ACTLR register is locked to secure monitor/firmware on
most boards, they will also need update of firmware / U-boot.
In worst case, when secure monitor is on-chip ROM (e.g. PandaBoard),
the board is unfixable.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.
in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

more direct.
- Remove armv4 pcpu fields which I added in r286296 but never
needed to use.

Change sysmap initialization to only allocate KVA pages for CPUs that

While here, collapse CMAP3 into CMAP2 (their use was mutually exclusive

support for different MMU types, nothing in cpuconf.h has been used in our
code for quite a while.
The file existed to set up a variety of symbols to describe the

On amd64, arm64 and i386, we have the possibility to switch between TLS
areas in userspace. The nice thing about this is that it makes it easier
to do light-weight threading, if we ever feel like doing that. On armv6,
let's go into the same direction by making it possible to safely use the
TPIDRURW register, which is intended for this purpose.
Clean up the ARMv6 code to remove md_tp entirely. Simply add a dedicated
field to the PCB to hold the value of TPIDRURW across context switches,
like we do for any other register. As userspace currently uses the
read-only TPIDRURO register, simply ensure that we keep both values in
sync where possible. The system calls for modifying the read-only
register will simply write the intended value into both registers, so
that it lazily ends up in the PCB during the next context switch.

have ACLE support built in. The ACLE (ARM C Language Extensions) defines
a set of standardized symbols which indicate the architecture version and
features available. ACLE support is built in to modern compilers (both
clang and gcc), but absent from gcc prior to 4.4.
ARM (the company) provides the acle-compat.h header file to define the
right symbols for older versions of gcc. Basically, acle-compat.h does
for arm about the same thing cdefs.h does for freebsd: defines
standardized macros that work no matter which compiler you use. If ARM
hadn't provided this file we would have ended up with a big #ifdef __arm__
section in cdefs.h with our own compatibility shims.
Remove #include <machine/acle-compat.h> from the zillion other places (an
ever-growing list) that it appears. Since style(9) requires sys/types.h
or sys/param.h early in the include list, and both of those lead to
including cdefs.h, only a couple special cases still need to include
acle-compat.h directly.

Use per-CPU structure to store HW watchpoints registers state
for each CPU present in the system. Those registers will be restored
upon wake up from the STOP state if requested by the debug_monitor
code. The method is similar to the one introduced to AMD64.
We store all possible 16 registers for HW watchpoints
(maximum allowed by the architecture).
HW breakpoints are not maintained since they are used for single
stepping only.

These will create and destroy a temporary, CPU-local KVA mapping of a specified page.
Guarantees:
--Will not sleep and will not fail.
--Safe to call under a non-sleepable lock or from an ithread
Restrictions:
--Not guaranteed to be safe to call from an interrupt filter or under a spin mutex on all platforms
--Current implementation does not guarantee more than one page of mapping space across all platforms. MI code should not make nested calls to pmap_quick_enter_page.
--MI code should not perform locking while holding onto a mapping created by pmap_quick_enter_page
The idea is to use this in busdma, for bounce buffer copies as well as virtually-indexed cache maintenance on mips and arm.
NOTE: the non-i386, non-amd64 implementations of these functions still need review and testing.

The old code was full of complexity that would only matter if the
kernel itself used the VFP hardware. Now that's reduced to either killing
the userland process or panicking the kernel on an illegal VFP instruction.
This removes most of the complexity from the assembler code, reducing it
to just calling the save code if the outgoing thread used the VFP.
The routine that stores the VFP state now takes a flag that indicates
whether the hardware should be disabled after saving state. Right now it
always is, but this makes the code ready to be used by get/set_mcontext()
(doing so will be addressed in a future commit).
Remove the arm-specific pc_vfpcthread from struct pcpu and use the MI

the old way was to store pcpu in a register, and get curthread from pcpu,
which is not very atomic, and led to issues if the thread was migrated
to another core between the time we got the pcpu address and the time we
got curthread.
Instead, we now store curthread where pcpu used to be store, and we
calculate the pcpu address based on the cpu id.

Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
- Rename PCPU_LAZY_INC into PCPU_INC
- Add the PCPU_ADD interface which just does an add on the pcpu member
given a specific value.
Note that for most architectures PCPU_INC and PCPU_ADD are not safe.
This is a point that needs some discussions/work in the next days.
