While GCC's __nonnull__ attribute is generally useful to prevent misuse of
some functions it also tends to do rather dangerous "optimizations". Now
that we have replaced (r312934) all such uses with the clang nullability
qualifiers, the GCC attribute is unnecessary.
Remove the definition completely to prevent its use in system's headers.
Replace uses of the GCC __nonnull__ attribute with the clang nullability
qualifiers. The replacement should be transparent for clang developers as
the new qualifiers will produce the same warnings and will be useful for
static checkers but will not cause aggressive optimizations.
GCC will not produce such warnings and developers will have to use
upgraded GCC ports built with the system headers from r312538.

Date: Tue Mar 1 10:23:23 2016 +0000
Implement a new "geomio" configuration argument to altera_avgen(4),
the generic I/O device we attach to various BERI peripherals. The new
option requests that, instead of exposing the underlying device via a
special device node in /dev, it instead be exposed via geom(4),
allowing it to be used with filesystems. The current implementation
does not allow a device to be exposed both for file/mmap and geom, so
one of the two models must be selected when configuring it via FDT or
device.hints. A typical use of the new option will be:

CheriBSD, which attempt to work around an inherent race in the UART's
control-register design in detecting whether JTAG is currently,
present, which will otherwise lead to moderately frequent output
drops when running in polled rather than interrupt-driven operation.
Now, these drops are quite infrequent.

Add a new sysctl, hw.altera_jtag_uart.ac_poll_delay, which allows the
(default 10ms) delay associated with a full JTAG UART buffer combined
with a lack of a JTAG-present flag to be tuned. Setting this higher
may cause some JTAG configurations to be more reliable when printing
out low-level console output at a speed greater than the JTAG UART is
willing to carry data. Or it may not.

Minor improvements to the Altera JTAG UART device driver:
- Minor rework to the logic to detect JTAG presence in order to be a bit
more resilient to inevitable races: increase the retry period from two
seconds to four seconds for trying to find JTAG, and more agressively
clear the miss counter if JTAG has been reconnected. Once JTAG has
vanished, stop prodding the miss counter.
- Do a bit of reworking of the output code to frob the control register
less by checking whether write interrupts are enabled/disabled before
changing their state. This should reduce the opportunity for races
with JTAG discovery (which are inherent to the Altera
hardware-software interface, but can at least be minimised).
- Add statistics relating to interrupt enable/disable/JTAG
discovery/etc.
With these changes, polled-mode JTAG UART ttys appear substantially
more robust.

Upstream GCC and devel/mips64-gcc use "octeon+" as the CPU setting for
the Octeon processor in the EdgeRouter Lite. As of r312899 the base
system GCC 4.2.1 accepts octeon+ as an alias for the Octeon support
added in r208737 for the same CPU.

With current/default behavior, after changing the default tcp stack, the
application needs to be restarted to pick up that change. Setting this new knob
net.inet.tcp.functions_inherit_listen_socket_stack to '0' would change that
behavior and make any new connection use the newly selected default tcp stack.

We found routing performance dropped significantly when configuring
FreeBSD as a router, we are applying the following changes in order to
resolve those issues and hopefully perform better.
- don't prefetch the flags array, we usually don't need it
- prefetch the next cache line of each of the software descriptor arrays as
well as the first cache line of each of the next four packets' mbufs and
clusters
- reduce max copy size to 63 bytes
- convert rx soft descriptors from array of structures to a structure of arrays
- update copyrights

undo_offload_socket() is only called by t4_connect() during a connection
setup failure, but t4_connect() still owns the TOE PCB and frees ita
after undo_offload_socket() returns. Release a reference in
undo_offload_socket() resulted in a double-free which panicked when
t4_connect() performed the second free. The reference release was
added to undo_offload_socket() incorrectly in r299210.

In r208737 jmallett@ added support for the "mips64r2" architecture
and "octeon" CPU, and the saa/saad instructions.
Upstream binutils also added the "octeon+" CPU, and the saa/saad
instructions are only available in octeon+, not octeon. Since our
base system tool chain already accepts saa/saad with -march=octeon,
just allow octeon+ as an alias.
This allows the use of octeon+ in kernel config files, for use with both
external tool chain and in-tree GCC/binutils.

The intended use is to annotate frequently used globals which either rarely
change (and thus can be grouped in the same cacheline) or are an atomic counter
(which means it may benefit from being the only variable in the cacheline).
Linker script support is provided only for amd64. Architectures without it risk
having other variables put in, i.e. as if they were not annotated. This is
harmless from correctness point of view.
