Auto-tuning threshold discussions aside, it turns out that if you want
to lower this on say, rather memory-packed machines, you either set maxusers
or kern.maxfiles, or you set it in sysctl. The former is a non-exact
way to tune this; the latter doesn't actually affect anything in the
startup scripts.
This first occured because I wondered why the hell screen would take upwards
of 10 seconds to spawn a new screen. I then found python doing the same
thing during fork/exec of child processes - it calls close() on each FD
up to the current openfiles limit. On a 1TB machine this is like, 26 million
FDs per process. Ugh.
So:
* This allows it to be set early in /boot/loader.conf;
* It can be used to work around the ridiculous situation of
screen, python, etc doing a close() on potentially millions of FDs
even though you only have four open.
Tested:
* 4GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 384GB, 1TB systems with autotune, ensuring
screen and python forking doesn't result in some pretty hilariously
bad behaviour.
TODO:
* Note that the default login.conf sets openfiles-cur to unlimited,
effectively obeying kern.maxfilesperproc. Perhaps we should fix
this.
* .. and even if we do, we need to also ensure that daemons get
a soft limit of something reasonable and capped - they can request
more FDs themselves.

combination to succeed if the directory already exists.
Declare the open("name", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL) always
invalid for the same reason, since open(2) cannot create directory.
Note that there is an argument that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT should be
invalid always, regardless of the target directory existence or
O_EXCL. The current fix is conservative and allows the call to
succeed in the situation where it succeeded before the patch.

mapped address without valid pte installed, when parallel wiring of
the entry happen. The entry must be copy on write. If entry is COW
but was already copied, and parallel wiring set
MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION, vm_fault() would sleep waiting for the
MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION flag to clear. After that, the fault handler
is restarted and vm_map_lookup() or vm_map_lookup_locked() trip over
the check. Note that this is race, if the address is accessed after
the wiring is done, the entry does not fault at all.
There is no reason in the current kernel to disallow write access to
the COW wired entry if the entry permissions allow it. Initially this
was done in r24666, since that kernel did not supported proper
copy-on-write for wired text, which was fixed in r199869. The r251901
revision re-introduced the r24666 fix for the current VM.
Note that write access must clear MAP_ENTRY_NEEDS_COPY entry flag by
performing COW. In reverse, when MAP_ENTRY_NEEDS_COPY is set in
vmspace_fork(), the MAP_ENTRY_USER_WIRED flag is cleared. Put the
assert stating the invariant, instead of returning the error.

locking and doesn't sleep. Flag the consumer we create as such. In
addition, decrement the in flight index when we have an out of memory
error after having incremented it previously. This would have
prevented swapoff from working if the swap pager ever hit a resource
shortage trying to swap out something (the swap in path always waits
for a bio, so won't have this issue). Simplify the close logic by
abandoning the use of private and initializing the index to 1 and
dropping that reference when we previously set private.
Also, set sw_id only while sw_dev_mtx is held. This should only affect
swapping to a vnode, as opposed to a geom whose close always sets it to
NULL with sw_dev_mtx held.

vendor supplied device trees contain the needed properties for us to select
the correct uart to use as the kernel console.
An example of this would be to add the following to loader.conf.
hw.fdt.console="/smb/uart@f7113000"
The intention of this is slightly different than the existing
hw.uart.console option. The new option will mean the boot serial
configuration will be derived from the device node, while the existing
option expects the user to configure all this themselves.
Further work is planned to allow the uart configuration to be set based on
the stdout-path property devicetree bindings.

This means that the read of the once_control->state variable should
have an acquire semantic. Use atomic_thread_fence_acq() when the
value read is ONCE_DONE, instead of straightforward atomic_load_acq(),
to only put a barrier when needed (*).
On the other hand, the updates of the once_control->state with the
intermediate progress state do not need to synchronize with other
state accesses, remove _acq suffix.
