c363b16c63 sys: Remove DEV_RANDOM device option
Remove 'device random' from kernel configurations that reference it (most).
Replace perhaps mistaken 'nodevice random' in two MIPS configs with 'options
RANDOM_LOADABLE' instead.  Document removal in UPDATING; update NOTES and

4c62bffef5 Fix dpcpu and vnet panics with complex types at the end of the section.
Apply a linker script when linking i386 kernel modules to apply padding
to a set_pcpu or set_vnet section.  The padding value is kind-of random
and is used to catch modules not compiled with the linker-script, so
possibly still having problems leading to kernel panics.

This is needed as the code generated on certain architectures for
non-simple-types, e.g., an array can generate an absolute relocation
on the edge (just outside) the section and thus will not be properly
relocated. Adding the padding to the end of the section will ensure
that even absolute relocations of complex types will be inside the
section, if they are the last object in there and hence relocation will
work properly and avoid panics such as observed with carp.ko or ipsec.ko.

There is a rather lengthy discussion of various options to apply in
the mentioned PRs and their depends/blocks, and the review.
There seems no best solution working across multiple toolchains and
multiple version of them, so I took the liberty of taking one,
as currently our users (and our CI system) are hitting this on
just i386 and we need some solution.  I wish we would have a proper
fix rather than another "hack".

Also backout r340009 which manually, temporarily fixed CARP before 12.0-R
"by chance" after a lead-up of various other link-elf.c and related fixes.

542970fa2d Remove IPSEC from GENERIC due to performance issues
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.

Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.

Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

251a32b5b2 tun/tap: merge and rename to tuntap
tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).

This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp

[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).

ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.

(MFC commentary)

This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.

I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

3782136ff1 random(4): Restore availability tradeoff prior to r346250
As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default.  But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.

Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances.  This is considered a future work
item.

On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot.  But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.

This change adds several tunables and diagnostic sysctls, documented
thoroughly in UPDATING and sys/dev/random/random_infra.c.

ba57dad4b0 stack_protector: Add tunable to bypass random cookies
This is a stopgap measure to unbreak installer/VM/embedded boot issues
introduced (or at least exposed by) in r346250.

Add the new tunable, "security.stack_protect.permit_nonrandom_cookies," in
order to continue boot with insecure non-random stack cookies if the random
device is unavailable.

For now, enable it by default.  This is NOT safe.  It will be disabled by
default in a future revision.

There is follow-on work planned to use fast random sources (e.g., RDRAND on
x86 and DARN on Power) to seed when the early entropy file cannot be
provided, for whatever reason.  Please see D19928.

Some better hacks may be used to make the non-random __stack_chk_guard
slightly less predictable (from delphij@ and mjg@); those suggestions are
left for a future revision.  I think it may also be plausible to move stack
guard initialization far later in the boot process; potentially it could be
moved all the way to just before userspace is started.

359d22d4e9 Augment ino64 entry
When updating across this change (the introduction of ino64), the
"fast and loose" practice of rebooting to multiuser and then doing an
installworld fails with missing symbols. Recommend strongly that users
do this in single user mode. The multiuser case only ever works by
accident because its requirements are stronger than is supported
accross this change. It usually works because critical symbols don't
change their version number in libc, which wasn't the case here.
