Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

Currently this argument is a pointer into the stack which is used by FBT
to fetch the first five probe arguments. On all non-x86 architectures it's
simply the trapframe address, so this change has no functional impact. On
amd64 it's a pointer into the trapframe such that stack[1 .. 5] gives the
first five argument registers, which are deliberately grouped together in
the amd64 trapframe definition.
A trapframe argument simplifies the invop handlers on !x86 and makes the
x86 FBT invop handler easier to understand. Moreover, it allows for invop
handlers that may want to modify the register set of the interrupted thread.
This allows the hrtimer to be used earlier during boot. This is required
for boot-time DTrace: anonymous enablings are created during
SI_SUB_DTRACE_ANON, which runs before APs are started. In particular,
the DTrace deadman timer requires that the hrtimer be functional.

r281257 added support for lazyload mode by allowing dtrace(1) to register
a DOF section on behalf of a traced process. This was implemented by
having libdtrace copy the DOF section into a heap-allocated buffer and
passing its address to the ioctl handler. However, DTrace uses the DOF
section address as a lookup key in certain cases, so the ioctl handler
should be given the target process' DOF section address instead. This
change modifies the ADDDOF handler to copy the DOF section in from the
target process, rather than from dtrace(1).

emulate the instructions used in function entry and exit.
For function entry ARM will use a push instruction to push up to 16
registers to the stack. While we don't expect all 16 to be used we need to
handle any combination the compiler may generate, even if it doesn't make
sense (e.g. pushing the program counter).
On function return we will either have a pop or branch instruction. The
former is similar to the push instruction, but with care to make sure we
update the stack pointer and program counter correctly in the cases they
are either in the list of registers or not. For branch we need to take the
24-bit offset, sign-extend it, and add that number of 4-byte words to the
program counter. Care needs to be taken as, due to historical reasons, the
address the branch is relative to is not the current instruction, but 8
bytes later.
This allows us to use the following probes on ARM boards:
dtrace -n 'fbt::malloc:entry { stack() }'
and
dtrace -n 'fbt:🆓return { stack() }'

Summary:
Fix the stack tracing for dtrace/powerpc by using the trapexit/asttrapexit
return address sentinels instead of checking within the kernel address space.
As part of this, I had to add new inline functions. FBT traces the kernel, so
we have to have special case handling for this, since a trap will create a full
new trap frame, and there's no way to pass around the 'real' stack. I handle
this by special-casing 'aframes == 0' with the trap frame. If aframes counts
out to the trap frame, then assume we're looking for the full kernel trap frame,
so switch to the real stack pointer.

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.
