Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

Allow one to implement a 'car limit' for
bioq_disksort. debug.bioq_batchsize sets the size of car limit. Every
time we queue that many requests, we start over so that we limit the
latency for requests when the software queue depths are large. A value
of '0', the default, means to revert to the old behavior.

the old encodings for the lower 16 and 32 bits and only using the
higher 32 bits for unusually large major and minor numbers. This
change breaks compatibility with the previous encoding (which was only
used in -current).
Fix truncation to (essentially) 16-bit dev_t in newnfs v3.
Any encoding of device numbers gives an ABI, so it can't be changed
without translations for compatibility. Extra bits give the much
larger complication that the translations need to compress into fewer
bits. Fortunately, more than 32 bits are rarely needed, so
compression is rarely needed except for 16-bit linux dev_t where it
was always needed but never done.
The previous encoding moved the major number into the top 32 bits.
Almost no translation code handled this, so the major number was blindly
truncated away in most 32-bit encodings. E.g., for ffs, mknod(8) with
major = 1 and minor = 2 gave dev_t = 0x10000002; ffs cannot represent
this and blindly truncated it to 2. But if this mknod was run on any
released version of FreeBSD, it gives dev_t = 0x102. ffs can represent
this, but in the previous encoding it was not decoded, giving major = 0,
minor = 0x102.
The presence of bugs was most obvious for exporting dev_t's from an
old system to -current, since bugs in newnfs augment them. I fixed
oldnfs to support 32-bit dev_t in 1996 (r16634), but this regressed
to 16-bit dev_t in newnfs, first to the old 16-bit encoding and then
further in -current. E.g., old ad0 with major = 234, minor = 0x10002
had the correct (major, minor) number on the wire, but newnfs truncated
this to (234, 2) and then the previous encoding shifted the major
number into oblivion as seen by ffs or old applications.
I first tried to fix this by translating on every ABI/API boundary, but
there are too many boundaries and too many sloppy translations by blind
truncation. So use the old encoding for the low 32 bits so that sloppy
translations work no worse than before provided the high 32 bits are
not set. Add some error checking for when bits are lost. Keep not
doing any error checking for translations for almost everything in
compat/linux.
compat/freebsd32/freebsd32_misc.c:
Optionally check for losing bits after possibly-truncating assignments as
before.
compat/linux/linux_stats.c:
Depend on the representation being compatible with Linux's (or just with
itself for local use) and spell some of the translations as assignments in
a macro that hides the details.
fs/nfsclient/nfs_clcomsubs.c:
Essentially the same fix as in 1996, except there is now no possible
truncation in makedev() itself. Also fix nearby style bugs.
kern/vfs_syscalls.c:
As for freebsd32. Also update the sysctl description to include file
numbers, and change it to describe device ids as device numbers.
sys/types.h:
Use inline functions (wrapped by macros) since the expressions are now
a bit too complicated for plain macros. Describe the encoding and
some of the reasons for it. 16-bit compatibility didn't leave many
reasonable choices for the 32-bit encoding, and 32-bit compatibility
doesn't leave many reasonable choices for the 64-bit encoding. My
choice is to put the 8 new minor bits in the low 8 bits of the top 32
bits. This minimizes discontiguities.

This patch adds a new socket option, SO_REUSEPORT_LB, which allow multiple
programs or threads to bind to the same port and incoming connections will be
load balanced using a hash function.
Most of the code was copied from a similar patch for DragonflyBSD.
However, in DragonflyBSD, load balancing is a global on/off setting and can not
be set per socket. This patch allows for simultaneous use of both the current
SO_REUSEPORT and the new SO_REUSEPORT_LB options on the same system.
Required changes to structures:
Globally change so_options from 16 to 32 bit value to allow for more options.
Add hashtable in pcbinfo to hold all SO_REUSEPORT_LB sockets.
Limitations:
As DragonflyBSD, a load balance group is limited to 256 pcbs (256 programs or
threads sharing the same socket).

This is needed to avoid a race between the VNASSERT() below, and another

On a 72-thread POWER9, without this barrier a 'make -j72 buildworld' would

It may be possible to use a weaker barrier, and I'll investigate that once

Previously, libc.so would initialize its notion of the break address
using _end, a special symbol emitted by the static linker following
the bss section. Compatibility issues between lld and ld.bfd could
cause the wrong definition of _end (libc.so's definition rather than
that of the executable) to be used, breaking the brk()/sbrk()
interface.
Avoid this problem and future interoperability issues by simply not
relying on _end. Instead, modify the break() system call to return
the kernel's view of the current break address, and have libc
initialize its state using an extra syscall upon the first use of the
interface. As a side effect, this appears to fix brk()/sbrk() usage
in executables run with rtld direct exec, since the kernel and libc.so
no longer maintain separate views of the process' break address.

vm_map_madvise(). Previously, vm_map_madvise() used a traditional Unix-
style "return (0);" to indicate success in the common case, but Mach-
style return values in the edge cases. Since KERN_SUCCESS equals zero,
the only problem with this inconsistency was stylistic. vm_map_madvise()
has exactly two callers in the entire source tree, and only one of them
cares about the return value. That caller, kern_madvise(), can be
simplified if vm_map_madvise() consistently uses Unix-style return
values.
Since vm_map_madvise() uses the variable modify_map as a Boolean, make it
one.
Eliminate a redundant error check from kern_madvise(). Add a comment
explaining where the check is performed.
Explicitly note that exec_release_args_kva() doesn't care about
vm_map_madvise()'s return value. Since MADV_FREE is passed as the

This change adds a new optional console method cn_resume and a kernel
console interface cnresume. Consoles that may need to re-initialize
their hardware after suspend (e.g., because firmware does not care to do
it) will implement cn_resume. Note that it is called in rather early
environment not unlike early boot, so the same restrictions apply.
Platform specific code, for platforms that support hardware suspend,
should call cnresume early after resume, before any console output is
expected.
This change fixes a problem with a system of mine failing to resume when
a serial console is used. I found that the serial port was in a strange
configuration and an attempt to write to it likely resulted in an
infinite loop.
To avoid adding cn_resume method to every console driver, CONSOLE_DRIVER
