faf2fa21d7 Support PTRACE_GETREGSET w/ NT_PRSTATUS in Linux ptrace(2).
While Linux strace(1) doesn't strictly require it - it has a fallback
to PTRACE_GETREGS - it's a newer interface, so we better support it
before the old one is deprecated.

7d7db5298d device_printf: Use sbuf for more coherent prints on SMP
device_printf does multiple calls to printf allowing other console messages to
be inserted between the device name, and the rest of the message.  This change
uses sbuf to compose to two into a single buffer, and prints it all at once.

It exposes an sbuf drain function (drain-to-printf) for common use.

Update documentation to match; some unit tests included.

ca2ebb27ed o Avoid determining the MAC class (LEM/EM or IGB) - possibly even multiple
times - on every interrupt by using an own set of device methods for the
  IGB class. This translates to introducing igb_if_intr_{disable,enable}()
  and igb_if_{rx,tx}_queue_intr_enable() with that IGB-specific code moved
  out of their EM counterparts and otherwise continuing to use the EM IFDI
  methods also for IGB.
  Note that igb_if_intr_{disable,enable}() also issue E1000_WRITE_FLUSH as
  lost with the conversion of igb(4) to iflib(4).
  Also note, that the em_if_{disable,enable}_intr() methods are renamed to
  em_if_intr_{disable,enable}() for consistency with the names used in the
  interface declaration.
o In em_intr():
  - Don't bother to bail out if the interrupt type is "legacy", i. e. INTx
    or MSI, as iflib(4) doesn't use ift_legacy_intr methods for MSI-X. All
    other iflib(4)-based drivers avoid this check, too.
  - Given that only the MSI-X interrupts have one-shot behavior (by taking
    advantage of the EIAC register), explicitly disable interrupts. Hence,
    em_intr() now matches what {em,igb}_irq_fast() previously did (in case
    of igb(4) supposedly also to work around MSI message reordering errata
    on certain systems).
o In em_if_intr_disable():
  - Clear the EIAC register unconditionally for 82574 and not just in case
    of MSI-X, matching em_if_intr_enable() and bringing back the last hunk
    of r206437 lost with the iflib(4) conversion.
  - Write to EM_EIAC for clearing said register instead of to the IGB-only
    E1000_EIAC used ever since the iflib(4) conversion.

3d10e9ed62 o Use iflib_fast_intr_rxtx() also for "legacy" interrupts, i. e. INTx and
MSI. Unlike as with iflib_fast_intr_ctx(), the former will also enqueue
  _task_fn_tx() in addition to _task_fn_rx() if appropriate, bringing TCP
  TX throughput of EM-class devices on par with the MSI-X case and, thus,
  close to wirespeed/pre-iflib(4) times again. [1]
  Note that independently of the interrupt type, the UDP performance with
  these MACs still is abysmal and nowhere near to where it was before the
  conversion of em(4) to iflib(4).
o In iflib_init_locked(), announce which free list failed to set up.
o In _task_fn_tx() when running netmap(4), issue ifdi_intr_enable instead
  of the ifdi_tx_queue_intr_enable method in case of a "legacy" interrupt
  as the latter is valid with MSI-X only.
o Instead of adding the missing - and apparently convoluted enough that a
  DBG_COUNTER_INC was put into a wrong spot in _task_fn_rx() - checks for
  ifdi_{r,t}x_queue_intr_enable being available in the MSI-X case also to
  iflib_fast_intr_rxtx(), factor these out to iflib_device_register() and
  make the checks fail gracefully rather than panic. This avoids invoking
  the checks at runtime over and over again in iflib_fast_intr_rxtx() and
  _task_fn_{r,t}x() - even if it's just in case of INVARIANTS - and makes
  these functions more readable.
o In iflib_rx_structures_setup(), only initialize LRO resources if device
  and driver have LRO capability in order to not waste memory. Also, free
  the LRO resources again if setting them up fails for one of the queues.
  However, don't bother invoking iflib_rx_sds_free() in that case because
  iflib_rx_structures_setup() doesn't call iflib_rxsd_alloc() either (and
  iflib_{device,pseudo}_register() will issue iflib_rx_sds_free() in case
  of failure via iflib_rx_structures_free(), but there definitely is some
  asymmetry left to be fixed, though).
o Similarly, free LRO resources again in iflib_rx_structures_free().
o In iflib_irq_set_affinity(), handle get_core_offset() errors gracefully
  instead of panicing (but only in case of INVARIANTS). This is a follow-
  up to r344132, as such driver bugs shouldn't be fatal.
o Likewise, handle unknown iflib_intr_type_t in iflib_irq_alloc_generic()
  gracefully, too.
o Bring yet more sanity to iflib_msix_init():
  - If the device doesn't provide enough MSI-X vectors or not all vectors
    can be allocate so the expected number of queues in addition to admin
    interrupts can't be supported, try MSI next (and then INTx) as proper
    MSI-X vector distribution can't be assured in such cases. In essence,
    this change brings r254008 forward to iflib(4). Also, this is the fix
    alluded to in the commit message of r343934.
  - If the MSI-X allocation has failed, don't prematurely announce MSI is
    going to be used as the latter in fact may not be available either.
  - When falling back to MSI, only release the MSI-X table resource again
    if it was allocated in iflib_msix_init(), i. e. isn't supplied by the
    driver, in the first place.
o In mp_ndesc_handler(), handle unknown type arguments gracefully, too.

27d172bb12 The intention of the blist cursor is for the search for free blocks to
resume where the last search left off. Suppose that there are no free
blocks of size 32, but plenty of size 16. If we repeatedly request
size 32 blocks, fail, and retry with size 16 blocks, then the failures
all reset the cursor to the beginning of memory, making the 16 block
allocation use a first fit, rather than next fit, strategy.

This change has blist_alloc make a copy of the cursor for its own
decision making, and only updates the real blist cursor after a
successful allocation, making those 16 block searches behave like
next-fit searches.

6b6e2954dd List-ify kernel dump device configuration
Allow users to specify multiple dump configurations in a prioritized list.
This enables fallback to secondary device(s) if primary dump fails.  E.g.,
one might configure a preference for netdump, but fallback to disk dump as a
second choice if netdump is unavailable.

This change does not list-ify netdump configuration, which is tracked
separately from ordinary disk dumps internally; only one netdump
configuration can be made at a time, for now.  It also does not implement
IPv6 netdump.

savecore(8) is already capable of scanning and iterating multiple devices
from /etc/fstab or passed on the command line.

This change doesn't update the rc or loader variables 'dumpdev' in any way;
it can still be set to configure a single dump device, and rc.d/savecore
still uses it as a single device.  Only dumpon(8) is updated to be able to
configure the more complicated configurations for now.

As part of revving the ABI, unify netdump and disk dump configuration ioctl
/ structure, and leave room for ipv6 netdump as a future possibility.
Backwards-compatibility ioctls are added to smooth ABI transition,
especially for developers who may not keep kernel and userspace perfectly
synced.

78022527bb Switch to use shared vnode locks for text files during image activation.
kern_execve() locks text vnode exclusive to be able to set and clear
VV_TEXT flag. VV_TEXT is mutually exclusive with the v_writecount > 0
condition.

The change removes VV_TEXT, replacing it with the condition
v_writecount <= -1, and puts v_writecount under the vnode interlock.
Each text reference decrements v_writecount.  To clear the text
reference when the segment is unmapped, it is recorded in the
vm_map_entry backed by the text file as MAP_ENTRY_VN_TEXT flag, and
v_writecount is incremented on the map entry removal

The operations like VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT() and VOP_SET_TEXT() check that
v_writecount does not contradict the desired change.  vn_writecheck()
is now racy and its use was eliminated everywhere except access.
Atomic check for writeability and increment of v_writecount is
performed by the VOP.  vn_truncate() now increments v_writecount
around VOP_SETATTR() call, lack of which is arguably a bug on its own.

nullfs bypasses v_writecount to the lower vnode always, so nullfs
vnode has its own v_writecount correct, and lower vnode gets all
references, since object->handle is always lower vnode.

On the text vnode' vm object dealloc, the v_writecount value is reset
to zero, and deadfs vop_unset_text short-circuit the operation.
Reclamation of lowervp always reclaims all nullfs vnodes referencing
lowervp first, so no stray references are left.

2d6b8546b7 imgact_elf: do not relock the text vnode if possible.
We unlock the vnode around malloc(M_WAITOK), to make it possible for
pagedaemon to flush vnode pages for us.  Instead of doing it
unconditionally, first try M_NOWAIT allocation, which typically
succeed.  Only on failure, unlock the vnode and retry with M_WAITOK.

b4967c9b6f [ath_rate_sample] Have the final attempted rate in 11n modes to be the lowest one.
Right now ath_rate_sample has a fixed rate schedule, rather than the minstrel_ht
style "best, good, most reliable" triplet.  So, if higher rates are tried then
it'll not fail back to a lower MCS rate in that transmission schedule.

This means that in low SNR situations it'll not easily drop to MCS0 unless enough
transmissions occur to allow rate control to eventually decide to drop; and if
it's TCP traffic it'll get slowed down because of packet loss.

It's worse for 2-stream and 3-stream rates; it doesn't ever fall back to lower
stream rates, and these higher stream rates required higher SNR to work.

So instead let's (for now?) have each of the 11n transmit rates use MCS0 as
the last attempt. ath_rate_sample will quickly see that rate succeeds more
and will move to it much quicker.

Testing:

* AR9344 (Wasp) - 2G STA mode
