more than three temporary register in several places CATR() is used so
this code trades instructions in for registers. Actually, this still isn't
sufficient and CATR() has the side-effect of clobbering %y. Luckily, with
the current uses of CATR() this either doesn't matter or we are able to
(save and) restore it.
Now that there's only one use of AND() and TEST() left inline these.
of just setting it to the first registered device, reevaluate it for each
device registered, trying to choose best candidate, unless one was forced.
For now use such preference order: play&rec, play, rec.
As side effect, this should workaround the situation when HDMI audio output
of the video card, usually not connected to anything, becomes default, that
requires manual user intervention to make sound working. If at some point
this won't be enough, we can try to fetch some additional priority flags
from the device driver.

For the AR5211/AR5212, this is apparently a one byte pulse duration
counter value. It is only coded up here for the AR5212 as I don't have
any AR5211-series hardware to test it on.
This information was extracted from the Madwifi DFS branch along with
some local additions.
Please note - all this does is extract out the radar event duration,
it in no way reflects the presence of a radar. Further code is needed
to take a set of radar events and filter them to extract out correct
radar pulse trains (and ignore other events.)
For further information, please see:

This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are
capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever
value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are
statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it
as low as possible for the time being.
Technical notes on this commit itself:
- More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced.
The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3)
for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string
representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which
creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation).
- pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon.
With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient
and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that
access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid
migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word
- Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel
and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself,
it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch
as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when
accessing kernland members.
- KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be
set as the example reported in NOTES.
Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but
private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt)
machine (amd64).
Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of
the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not
targeted for MFC.
People to thank for the time spent on this patch:
- sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested
several revision of the patches and really helped in improving
stability of this work.
- marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed
patches related to ktr.
- jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed.
- kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the
patch.
- marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of
the patch.
- marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific
implementations of the patch.
- Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been
already committed and have been listed separately.
Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several
degrees:
- Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big
count of CPUs.
- The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance,
which has been instrumental.
- Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during
development.
(I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in
advance).
Make a behaviour of the libalias based in-kernel NAT a bit closer to
how natd(8) does work. natd(8) drops packets only when libalias returns
PKT_ALIAS_IGNORED and "deny_incoming" option is set, but ipfw_nat
always did drop packets that were not aliased, even if they should
not be aliased and just are going through.
Also add SCTP support: mark response packets to skip firewall processing.

Otherwise, p_bufr is set to garbage on the stack, and if that garbage
happens to be non-NULL, and the TOLOG or TOCONS flag is set, putbuf()
will get called and attempt to fill the non-existent buffer.
This is really only relevant for tprintf() (and only when the priority is
not -1), but set it in uprintf() and ttyprintf() for completeness.
The next step, to avoid log buffer scrambling, would be to add the
PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE code to tprintf(), but this should prevent panics.

for it. Do not not expect a developer to call doadump(). Calling
doadump does not necessarily work when it's declared static. Nor
does it necessarily do what was intended in the context of text
dumps. The dump command always creates a core dump.
Move printing of error messages from doadump to the dump command,
now that we don't have to worry about being called from DDB.
points are fixed addresses and (U)EFI CSM specification also mandated that.
Unfortunately, (U)EFI CSM specification does not specifically mention this
is to call service routine via interrupt vector table or to jump directly
to the entry point. As a result, some CSM seems to install two routines
and acts differently, depending on how it was executed, unfortunately.
When INT 15h is used, it calls a function pointer (which is probably a UEFI
service function). When it jumps directly to the entry point, it executes
a simple and traditional INT 15h service routine. Therefore, actually there
are two possible fixes, i. e., this fix or jumping directly to the fixed
entry point. However, we chose this fix because a) keyboard typematic
support via BIOS is becoming extremely rarer and b) we cannot support random
service routine installed by a firmware or a boot loader. This should fix

o cpu_idle_hook is expected to be called with interrupts
disabled and re-enables interrupts on return.
o sync with x86: don't idle when the CPU has runnable tasks
o have callers of ia64_call_pal_static() disable interrupts
and re-enable interrupts.
o add, but compile-out, support for idle mode. This will be
enabled at some later time, after proper testing.
While implementing a tool to import lastlog entries into utmpx, I
noticed lastlogin doesn't allow custom database files to be opened. Add
a -f switch to support this. Also, add -r and -t similar to ls(1),
ruptime(1), etc. where you can sort entries by timestamp and reverse
them. This allows you to spot active/idle users more easily.
