This saves 320 bytes of the precious stack space.
The only negative aspect of the change I can think of is that the
struct thread increased by 320 bytes obviously, and that 320 bytes are
not swapped out anymore. I believe the freed stack space is much more
important than that. Also, current struct thread size is 1392 bytes
on amd64, so UMA will allocate two thread structures per (4KB) slab,
which leaves a space for pcb without increasing zone memory use.

No functional change (in program code). Additional DWARF metadata is
generated in the .eh_frame section. Also, it is now a compile-time
requirement that machine/asm.h ENTRY() and END() macros are paired. (This
is subject to ongoing discussion and may change.)
This DWARF metadata allows llvm-libunwind to unwind program stacks when the
program is executing the function. The goal is to collect accurate
userspace stacktraces when programs have entered syscalls.
(The motivation for "Call Frame Information," or CFI for short -- not to be
confused with Control Flow Integrity -- is to sufficiently annotate assembly
functions such that stack unwinders can unwind out of the local frame
without the requirement of a dedicated framepointer register; i.e.,
-fomit-frame-pointer. This is necessary for C++ exception handling or
collecting backtraces.)
For the curious, a more thorough description of the metadata and some
examples may be found at [1] and documentation at [2]. You can also look at
'cc -S -o - foo.c | less' and search for '.cfi_' to see the CFI directives
generated by your C compiler.

After removing wmb(), vm_set_rendezvous_func() became super trivial, so
there was no point in keeping it.
The wmb (sfence on amd64, lock nop on i386) was not needed. This can be
explained from several points of view.
First, wmb() is used for store-store ordering (although, the primitive
is undocumented). There was no obvious subsequent store that needed the
barrier.
Second, x86 has a memory model with strong ordering including total
store order. An explicit store barrier may be needed only when working
with special memory (device, special caching mode) or using special
instructions (non-temporal stores). That was not the case for this
code.
Third, I believe that there is a misconception that sfence "flushes" the
store buffer in a sense that it speeds up the propagation of stores from
the store buffer to the global visibility. I think that such
propagation always happens as fast as possible. sfence only makes
subsequent stores wait for that propagation to complete. So, sfence is
only useful for ordering of stores and only in the situations described
above.

2MB page, preserving the use of superpage mappings for kernel data.

Reported by: Alex S <iwtcex@gmail.com>
NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.

Debugnet is a simplistic and specialized panic- or debug-time reliable
datagram transport. It can drive a single connection at a time and is
currently unidirectional (debug/panic machine transmit to remote server
only).
It is mostly a verbatim code lift from netdump(4). Netdump(4) remains
the only consumer (until the rest of this patch series lands).
The INET-specific logic has been extracted somewhat more thoroughly than
previously in netdump(4), into debugnet_inet.c. UDP-layer logic and up, as
much as possible as is protocol-independent, remains in debugnet.c. The
separation is not perfect and future improvement is welcome. Supporting
INET6 is a long-term goal.
Much of the diff is "gratuitous" renaming from 'netdump_' or 'nd_' to
'debugnet_' or 'dn_' -- sorry. I thought keeping the netdump name on the
generic module would be more confusing than the refactoring.
The only functional change here is the mbuf allocation / tracking. Instead
of initiating solely on netdump-configured interface(s) at dumpon(8)
configuration time, we watch for any debugnet-enabled NIC for link
activation and query it for mbuf parameters at that time. If they exceed
the existing high-water mark allocation, we re-allocate and track the new
high-water mark. Otherwise, we leave the pre-panic mbuf allocation alone.
In a future patch in this series, this will allow initiating netdump from
panic ddb(4) without pre-panic configuration.
No other functional change intended.

This provides a framework to define a template describing
a set of "variables of interest" and the intended way for
the framework to maintain them (for example the maximum, sum,
t-digest, or a combination thereof). Afterwards the user
code feeds in the raw data, and the framework maintains
these variables inside a user-provided, opaque stats blobs.
The framework also provides a way to selectively extract the
stats from the blobs. The stats(3) framework can be used in
both userspace and the kernel.
See the stats(3) manual page for details.
This will be used by the upcoming TCP statistics gathering code,

The stats(3) framework is disabled by default for now, except

Centralize calculation of signal and ucode delivered on unhandled page
fault in new function vm_fault_trap(). MD trap_pfault() now almost
always uses the signal numbers and error codes calculated in
consistent MI way.
This introduces the protection fault compatibility sysctls to all
non-x86 architectures which did not have that bug, but apparently they
were already much more wrong in selecting delivered signals on
protection violations.
Change the delivered signal for accesses to mapped area after the
backing object was truncated. According to POSIX description for
mmap(2):
The system shall always zero-fill any partial page at the end of an
object. Further, the system shall never write out any modified
portions of the last page of an object which are beyond its
end. References within the address range starting at pa and
continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an
object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal.
An implementation may generate SIGBUS signals when a reference
would cause an error in the mapped object, such as out-of-space
condition.
Adjust according to the description, keeping the existing
compatibility code for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS on protection failures.
For situations where kernel cannot handle page fault due to resource
limit enforcement, SIGBUS with a new error code BUS_OBJERR is
delivered. Also, provide a new error code SEGV_PKUERR for SIGSEGV on
amd64 due to protection key access violation.
vm_fault_hold() is renamed to vm_fault(). Fixed some nits in
trap_pfault()s like mis-interpreting Mach errors as errnos. Removed
