Summary:
The hardware does not expose a classic SMBus interface.
Instead it has a lower level interface that can express a far richer
I2C protocol than what smbus offers. However, the interface does not
provide a way to explicitly generate the I2C stop and start conditions.
It's only possible to request that the stop condition is generated
after transferring the next byte in either direction. So, at least
one data byte must always be transferred.
Thus, some I2C sequences are impossible to generate, e.g., an equivalent
of smbus quick command (<start>-<slave addr>-<r/w bit>-<stop>).
At the same time isl(4) and cyapa(4) are moved to iicbus and now they use
iicbus_transfer for communication. Previously they used smbus_trans()
interface that is not defined by the SMBus protocol and was implemented
only by ig4(4). In fact, that interface was impossible to implement
for the typical SMBus controllers like intpm(4) or ichsmb(4) where
a type of the SMBus command must be programmed.
The plan is to remove smbus_trans() and all its uses.
As an aside, the smbus_trans() method deviates from the standard,
but perhaps backwards, FreeBSD convention of using 8-bit slave
addresses (shifted by 1 bit to the left). The method expects
7-bit addresses.
There is a user facing consequence of this change.
A user must now provide device hints for isl and cyapa that specify an iicbus to use
and a slave address on it.
On Chromebook hardware where isl and cyapa devices are commonly found
it is also possible to use a new chromebook_platform(4) driver that
automatically configures isl and cyapa devices. There is no need to
provide the device hints in that case,
Right now smbus(4) driver tries to discover all slaves on the bus.
That is very dangerous. Fortunately, the probing code uses smbus_trans()
to do its job, so it is really enabled for ig4 only.
The plan is to remove that auto-probing code and smbus_trans().

prominently. Unlike in the past (dating back to the 4.x branch point),
you cannot upgrade from any point on the past couple of stable
branches to -current. Due to a bug in clang that existed before
r286035 in stable/9 or r286033 in stable/10, we cannot compile llvm
that's in 11.x or -current. Unfortunately, these revisions are after
9.3R and 10.3R on their respective branches. stable/11 and 11.0R are
not affected.
This also affects the upgrade path to 11 (including 11.0R) from
stable/9 and stable/10 (which would otherwise work, were it not for
this bug).
We also need to amend the 11.0R release notes.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

Strip leading spaces off of a SCSI disk's reported serial number
when populating the CAM serial number. This affects the output of
"diskinfo -v" and the names of /dev/diskid/DISK-* device nodes,
among other things.
SPC5r05 says that the Product Serial Number field from the Unit
Serial Number VPD page is right-aligned. So any leading spaces are
not part of the actual serial number. Most devices don't left-pad
their serial numbers, but some do. In particular, the SN VPD page
that an LSI HBA emulates for a SATA drive contains enough
left-padding to fill a 20-byte field.

Specification, Version 2, but marked as legacy, and have been removed from
later specifications. After 12 years it is time to remove them from new
architectures when the main use for sbrk is an invalid method to attempt
to find how much memory has been allocated from malloc.
There are a few places in the tree that still call sbrk, however they are
not used on arm64. They will need to be fixed to cross build from arm64,
but these will be fixed in a follow up commit.
Old copies of binutils from ports called into sbrk, however this has been
fixed around 6 weeks ago. It is advised to update binutils on arm64 before
installing a world that includes this change.

Kernel installs always override KMODDIR when installing modules, so
this default setting is only used for standalone module builds. Many
out-of-tree modules manually override KMODDIR already to avoid placing
modules in /boot/kernel. This now makes that behavior the default.

On some architectures, u_long isn't large enough for resource definitions.
Particularly, powerpc and arm allow 36-bit (or larger) physical addresses, but
type `long' is only 32-bit. This extends rman's resources to uintmax_t. With
this change, any resource can feasibly be placed anywhere in physical memory
(within the constraints of the driver).
Why uintmax_t and not something machine dependent, or uint64_t? Though it's
possible for uintmax_t to grow, it's highly unlikely it will become 128-bit on
32-bit architectures. 64-bit architectures should have plenty of RAM to absorb
the increase on resource sizes if and when this occurs, and the number of
resources on memory-constrained systems should be sufficiently small as to not
pose a drastic overhead. That being said, uintmax_t was chosen for source
clarity. If it's specified as uint64_t, all printf()-like calls would either
need casts to uintmax_t, or be littered with PRI*64 macros. Casts to uintmax_t
aren't horrible, but it would also bake into the API for
resource_list_print_type() either a hidden assumption that entries get cast to
uintmax_t for printing, or these calls would need the PRI*64 macros. Since
source code is meant to be read more often than written, I chose the clearest
path of simply using uintmax_t.
Tested on a PowerPC p5020-based board, which places all device resources in
0xfxxxxxxxx, and has 8GB RAM.
