many regions checked again and again despite knowing the pages
contained were not usable and only satisfied the alignment constraints
This case was compounded, especially for large allocations, by the
practice of looping from the top of memory so as to keep out of the
important low-memory regions. While the old contigmalloc(9) has the
same problem, it is not as noticeable due to looping from the low
memory to high.
This degenerate case is fixed, as well as reversing the sense of the
rest of the loops within it, to provide a tremendous speed increase.
This makes the best case O(n * VM overhead) much more likely than the
worst case O(4 * VM overhead). For comparison, the worst case for old
contigmalloc would be O(5 * VM overhead) in addition to its strategy
of turning used memory into free being highly pessimal.
Also, fix a bug that in practice most likely couldn't have been triggered,
int the new contigmalloc(9): it walked backwards from the end of memory
without accounting for how many pages it needed. Potentially, nonexistant
pages could have been mapped. This hasn't occurred because the kernel
generally requests as its first contigmalloc(9) a single page.

atomic write request, it can fill the buffer cache with the entirety
of that write in order to handle retries. However, it never drops
the vnode lock, or else it wouldn't be atomic, so it ends up waiting
indefinitely for more buf memory that cannot be gotten as it has it
all, and it waits in an uncancellable state.
To fix this, hibufspace is exported and scaled to a reasonable
fraction. This is used as the limit of how much of an atomic write
request by the NFS client will be handled asynchronously. If the
request is larger than this, it will be turned into a synchronous
request which won't deadlock the system. It's possible this value is
far off from what is required by some, so it shall be tunable as soon
as mount_nfs(8) learns of the new field.
The slowdown between an asynchronous and a synchronous write on NFS
appears to be on the order of 2x-4x.

the most annoying one probably being USB keyboards no longer working at
the OFW boot prompt after halting FreeBSD these drivers work fine on
sparc64 including X and there's nothing left that I'd consider a show-
stopper. I.e. graphical consoles on sun4u machines should either work
out of the box or by plugging in a card that is supported by either
creator(4) or machfb(4). The exception obviously are SBus-only machines
without UPA slots like some Ultra 1 (but which also still lack support
in other areas) and certain Exx0 (but which probably are mainly used
with serial consoles anyway). I'll try to add a cgsix(4) for these later
as Sun CG6 cards are probably the most common SBus framebuffer cards in
sun4u machines. I however don't see much sense in adding drivers for the
dozen of SBus framebuffers that were destined for sparc v8 machines.
The rest of the USB drivers aren't enabled as I'm only aware of ukbd(4)
and ums(4) as well as ohci(4) working with the on-board ALI M5237 and
Sun PCIO-2 controllers. Aue(4) definitely doesn't work on sparc64, yet.
Thanks to:
- Jake for the initial work on syscons(4) on sparc64 and creator(4).
- Marcel for uart(4) and especially for its support for the SCCs which
are only used on sparc64 so far. In various regards it wouldn't have
been possible to enable syscons(4) by default on sparc64, yet, without
uart(4).
- All that tested patches.

- Add the name of the device driver creating the device nodes above the

shut up warnings from getty(8). Replace 'Requires device 'uart' be

- Turn off the getty(8) on screen as screen is created by ofw_console(4)

last resort) to shut up warnings from getty(8) with the current GENERIC.
files after they were repo-copied to sys/dev/atkbdc. The sources of
atkbdc(4) and its children were moved to the new location in preparation
for adding an EBus front-end to atkbdc(4) for use on sparc64; i.e. in
order to not further scatter them over the whole tree which would have
been the result of adding atkbdc_ebus.c in e.g. sys/sparc64/ebus. Another
reason for the repo-copies was that some of the sources were misfiled,
e.g. sys/isa/atkbd_isa.c wasn't ISA-specific at all but for hanging
atkbd(4) off of atkbdc(4) and was renamed to atkbd_atkbdc.c accordingly.
Most of sys/isa/psm.c, i.e. expect for its PSMC PNP part, also isn't
ISA-specific.
- Separate the parts of atkbdc_isa.c which aren't actually ISA-specific
but are shareable between different atkbdc(4) bus front-ends into
atkbdc_subr.c (repo-copied from atkbdc_isa.c). While here use
bus_generic_rl_alloc_resource() and bus_generic_rl_release_resource()
respectively in atkbdc_isa.c instead of rolling own versions.
- Add sparc64 MD bits to atkbdc(4) and atkbd(4) and an EBus front-end for
atkbdc(4). PS/2 controllers and input devices are used on a couple of
Sun OEM boards and occur on either the EBus or the ISA bus. Depending on
the board it's either the only on-board mean to connect a keyboard and
mouse or an alternative to either RS232 or USB devices.
- Wrap the PSMC PNP part of psm.c in #ifdef DEV_ISA so it can be compiled
without isa(4) (e.g. for EBus-only machines). This ISA-specific part
isn't separated into its own source file, yet, as it requires more work
than was feasible for 6.0 in order to do it in a clean way. Actually
philip@ is working on a rewrite of psm(4) so a more comprehensive
clean-up and separation of hardware dependent and independent parts is
expected to happen after 6.0.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

do the subsequent ip_output() in IPFW. In ipfw_tick(), the keep-alive
packets must be generated from the data that resides under the
stateful lock, but they must not be sent at that time, as this would
cause a lock order reversal with the normal ordering (interface's
lock, then locks belonging to the pfil hooks).
In practice, this caused deadlocks when using IPFW and if_bridge(4)
together to do stateful transparent filtering.
