These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:

 1) no output from sysctl(8)
 2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
    or uname(1)
 truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory

3da1cf1e88 Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
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.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

785797c341 rename scheduler->swapper and SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER->SI_SUB_LAST
Also directly call swapper() at the end of mi_startup instead of
relying on swapper being the last thing in sysinits order.

Rationale:

- "RUN_SCHEDULER" was misleading, scheduling already takes place at that stage
- "scheduler" was misleading, the function swaps in the swapped out processes
- another SYSINIT(SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER, SI_ORDER_ANY) could never be
  invoked depending on its relative order with scheduler; this was not obvious
  and the bug actually used to exist

28926c5766 Update the ddb and gdb backends for the new 'trace_thread' hook.
It is implemented via db_trace_thread() for DDB and not implemented
for GDB.  This should have been part of r234190.

9976156f12 kern cons: introduce infrastructure for console grabbing by kernel
At the moment grab and ungrab methods of all console drivers are no-ops.

Current intended meaning of the calls is that the kernel takes control of
console input.  In the future the semantics may be extended to mean that
the calling thread takes full ownership of the console (e.g. console
output from other threads could be suspended).

3a5d36716f Modify kdb_trap() so that it re-calls the dbbe_trap function as long as
the debugger back-end has changed.  This means that switching from ddb
to gdb no longer requires a "step" which can be dangerous on an
already-crashed kernel.

Also add a capability to get from the gdb back-end back to ddb, by
typing ^C in the console window.

While here, simplify kdb_sysctl_available() by using
sbuf_new_for_sysctl(), and use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() since the
strlcpy semantic is desired.

7b9df13bcd there must be only one SYSINIT with SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY order
SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY should only be used to call
scheduler() function which turns the initial thread into swapper proper
and thus there is no further SYSINIT processing.
Other SYSINITs with SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY may get ordered
after scheduler() and thus never executed.  That particular relative
order is semi-arbitrary.

Thus, change such places to use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE.
Also, use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE instead of correct, but less appealing,
SI_ORDER_ANY - 1.

01bd17cc99 Add kdb_cpu_sync_icache(), intended to synchronize instruction
caches with data caches after writing to memory. This typically
is required to make breakpoints work on ia64 and powerpc. For
those architectures the function is implemented.

bcc5241c43 Change gdb_cpu_setreg() to not take the value to which to set the
specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
   FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
   by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
   the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
   in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
   as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
   decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.

This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

Tested on: alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, sparc64

72d44f31a6 Introduce the GDB debugger backend for the new KDB framework. The
backend improves over the old GDB support in the following ways:
o  Unified implementation with minimal MD code.
o  A simple interface for devices to register themselves as debug
   ports, ala consoles.
o  Compression by using run-length encoding.
o  Implements GDB threading support.
