Before this change it was impossible to set number of PKCS#5v2 iterations,
required to set passphrase, if it has two keys and never had any passphrase.
Due to present metadata format limitations there are still cases when number
of iterations can not be changed, but now it works in cases when it can.

This patch adds a general mechanism for providing encryption keys to the
kernel from the boot loader. This is intended to enable GELI support at
boot time, providing a better mechanism for passing keys to the kernel
than environment variables. It is designed to be extensible to other
applications, and can easily handle multiple encrypted volumes with
different keys.
This mechanism is currently used by the pending GELI EFI work.
Additionally, this mechanism can potentially be used to interface with
GRUB, opening up options for coreboot+GRUB configurations with completely
encrypted disks.
Another benefit over the existing system is that it does not require
re-deriving the user key from the password at each boot stage.
Most of this patch was written by Eric McCorkle. It was extended by
Allan Jude with a number of minor enhancements and extending the keybuf
feature into boot2.
GELI user keys are now derived once, in boot2, then passed to the loader,
which reuses the key, then passes it to the kernel, where the GELI module
destroys the keybuf after decrypting the volumes.

The PBKDF2 in sys/geom/eli/pkcs5v2.c is around half the speed it could be
GELI's PBKDF2 uses a simple benchmark to determine a number of iterations
that will takes approximately 2 seconds. The security provided is actually
half what is expected, because an attacker could use the optimized
algorithm to brute force the key in half the expected time.
With this change, all newly generated GELI keys will be approximately 2x
as strong. Previously generated keys will talk half as long to calculate,
resulting in faster mounting of encrypted volumes. Users may choose to
rekey, to generate a new key with the larger default number of iterations
using the geli(8) setkey command.
Security of existing data is not compromised, as ~1 second per brute force
attempt is still a very high threshold.

This change includes support for SCSI SMR drives (which conform to the
Zoned Block Commands or ZBC spec) and ATA SMR drives (which conform to
the Zoned ATA Command Set or ZAC spec) behind SAS expanders.
This includes full management support through the GEOM BIO interface, and
through a new userland utility, zonectl(8), and through camcontrol(8).
This is now ready for filesystems to use to detect and manage zoned drives.
(There is no work in progress that I know of to use this for ZFS or UFS, if
anyone is interested, let me know and I may have some suggestions.)
Also, improve ATA command passthrough and dispatch support, both via ATA
and ATA passthrough over SCSI.
Also, add support to camcontrol(8) for the ATA Extended Power Conditions
feature set. You can now manage ATA device power states, and set various
idle time thresholds for a drive to enter lower power states.
Note that this change cannot be MFCed in full, because it depends on
changes to the struct bio API that break compatilibity. In order to
avoid breaking the stable API, only changes that don't touch or depend on
the struct bio changes can be merged. For example, the camcontrol(8)
changes don't depend on the new bio API, but zonectl(8) and the probe
changes to the da(4) and ada(4) drivers do depend on it.
Also note that the SMR changes have not yet been tested with an actual
SCSI ZBC device, or a SCSI to ATA translation layer (SAT) that supports
ZBC to ZAC translation. I have not yet gotten a suitable drive or SAT
layer, so any testing help would be appreciated. These changes have been
tested with Seagate Host Aware SATA drives attached to both SAS and SATA
controllers. Also, I do not have any SATA Host Managed devices, and I
suspect that it may take additional (hopefully minor) changes to support
them.
Thanks to Seagate for supplying the test hardware and answering questions.
sbin/camcontrol/Makefile:
Add epc.c and zone.c.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.8:

sbin/camcontrol/epc.c:
Support for ATA Extended Power Conditions features. This includes
support for all features documented in the ACS-4 Revision 12
specification from t13.org (dated February 18, 2016).
The EPC feature set allows putting a drive into a power power mode
immediately, or setting timeouts so that the drive will

These specs were developed in concert, and are functionally
identical. The primary differences are due to SCSI and ATA
differences. (SCSI is big endian, ATA is little endian, for
example.)
This includes support for all commands defined in the ZBC and
ZAC specs.

Decode a number of additional ATA command names in ata_op_string().
Add a new CCB building function, ata_read_log().

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add command descriptions for the ZBC IN/OUT commands.

Add a new function, scsi_ata_pass() to do ATA passthrough over

Add five new probe states, four of which are needed for ATA
devices.
Add five new sysctl variables that describe zone support and
parameters.
The da(4) driver supports SCSI ZBC devices, as well as ATA ZAC
devices when they are attached via a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT)
layer. Since ZBC -> ZAC translation is a new feature in the T10
SAT-4 spec, most SATA drives will be supported via ATA commands
sent via the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command. The da(4) driver will
prefer the ZBC interface, if it is available, for performance
reasons, but will use the ATA PASS-THROUGH interface to the ZAC
command set if the SAT layer doesn't support translation yet.
As I mentioned above, ZBC command support is untested.
Add support for the new BIO_ZONE bio, and all of its subcommands:
DISK_ZONE_OPEN, DISK_ZONE_CLOSE, DISK_ZONE_FINISH, DISK_ZONE_RWP,
DISK_ZONE_REPORT_ZONES, and DISK_ZONE_GET_PARAMS.
Add scsi_zbc_in() and scsi_zbc_out() CCB building functions.
Add scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_out() and scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_in() CCB/CDB
building functions. Note that these have return values, unlike
almost all other CCB building functions in CAM. The reason is
that they can fail, depending upon the particular combination
of input parameters. The primary failure case is if the user
wants NCQ, but fails to specify additional CDB storage. NCQ
requires using the 32-byte version of the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH
command, and the current CAM CDB size is 16 bytes.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.h:
Add ZBC IN and ZBC OUT CDBs and opcodes.
Add SCSI Report Zones data structures.
Add scsi_zbc_in(), scsi_zbc_out(), scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_out(), and
scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_in() prototypes.
sys/dev/ahci/ahci.c:
Fix SEND / RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED in the ahci(4) driver.
ahci_setup_fis() previously set the top bits of the sector count
register in the FIS to 0 for FPDMA commands. This is okay for
read and write, because the PRIO field is in the only thing in
those bits, and we don't implement that further up the stack.
But, for SEND and RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED, the subcommand is in that
byte, so it needs to be transmitted to the drive.
In ahci_setup_fis(), always set the the top 8 bits of the
sector count register. We need it in both the standard
and NCQ / FPDMA cases.
sys/geom/eli/g_eli.c:

GEOM disk client can handle BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/geom/geom_io.c:

BIO_ZONE commands.
Add permissions check for BIO_ZONE commands.
Add command decoding for BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/geom/geom_subr.c:
Add DDB command decoding for BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/kern/subr_devstat.c:
Record statistics for REPORT ZONES commands. Note that the
number of bytes transferred for REPORT ZONES won't quite match
what is received from the harware. This is because we're
necessarily counting bytes coming from the da(4) / ada(4) drivers,
which are using the disk_zone.h interface to communicate up
the stack. The structure sizes it uses are slightly different
than the SCSI and ATA structure sizes.
sys/sys/ata.h:
Add many bit and structure definitions for ZAC, NCQ, and EPC
command support.
sys/sys/bio.h:
Convert the bio_cmd field to a straight enumeration. This will
yield more space for additional commands in the future. After
change r297955 and other related changes, this is now possible.
Converting to an enumeration will also prevent use as a bitmask
in the future.
sys/sys/disk.h:
Define the DIOCZONECMD ioctl.
sys/sys/disk_zone.h:
Add a new API for managing zoned disks. This is very close to
the SCSI ZBC and ATA ZAC standards, but uses integers in native
byte order instead of big endian (SCSI) or little endian (ATA)
byte arrays.
This is intended to offer to the complete feature set of the ZBC
and ZAC disk management without requiring the application developer
to include SCSI or ATA headers. We also use one set of headers
for ioctl consumers and kernel bio-level consumers.
sys/sys/param.h:
Bump __FreeBSD_version for sys/bio.h command changes, and inclusion
of SMR support.
usr.sbin/Makefile:
Add the zonectl utility.
usr.sbin/diskinfo/diskinfo.c
Add disk zoning capability to the 'diskinfo -v' output.
usr.sbin/zonectl/Makefile:
Add zonectl makefile.
usr.sbin/zonectl/zonectl.8
zonectl(8) man page.
usr.sbin/zonectl/zonectl.c

disks via the disk_zone.h API. You can report zones, reset write

Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

This flag indicates that the user wishes to use the GELIBOOT feature to boot from a fully encrypted root file system.
Currently, GELIBOOT does not support key files, and in the future when it does, they will be loaded differently.
Due to the design of GELI, and the desire for secrecy, the GELI metadata does not know if key files are used or not, it just adds the key material (if any) to the HMAC before the optional passphrase, so there is no way to tell if a GELI partition requires key files or not.
Since the GELIBOOT code in boot2 and the loader does not support keys, they will now only attempt to attach if this flag is set. This will stop GELIBOOT from prompting for passwords to GELIs that it cannot decrypt, disrupting the boot process

Enabling BIO_DELETE passthru comes with a small security consequence - an

has less data no analyse then. This is why the -T option can be given to the

When examining a new GELI provider, the most recently used passphrase
will be attempted before prompting for a passphrase; and whenever a
passphrase is entered, it is cached for later reference. When the root
disk is mounted, the cached passphrase is zeroed (triggered by the
"mountroot" event), in order to minimize the possibility of leakage
of passphrases. (After root is mounted, the "taste and prompt for
passphrases on the console" code path is disabled, so there is no
potential for a passphrase to be stored after the zeroing takes place.)
This behaviour can be disabled by setting kern.geom.eli.boot_passcache=0.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL

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.
