hardware imposes strict limitations on hard buffer and block sizes.
Previous code set soft buffer to be no smaller then hard buffer. On some
cards with fixed 64K physical buffer that caused up to 800ms play latency.
New code allows to set soft buffer size down to just two blocks of the hard
buffer and to not write more then that size ahead to the hardware buffer.
As result of that change I was able to reduce full practically measured
record-playback loop delay in those conditions down to only about 115ms
with theoretical playback latency of only about 50ms.
New code works fine for both vchans and direct cases. In both cases sound(4)
tries to follow hw.snd.latency_profile and hw.snd.latency values and
application-requested buffer and block sizes as much as limitation of two
hardware blocks allows.

The isci driver is for the integrated SAS controller in the Intel C600
(Patsburg) chipset. Source files in sys/dev/isci directory are
FreeBSD-specific, and sys/dev/isci/scil subdirectory contains
an OS-agnostic library (SCIL) published by Intel to control the SAS
controller. This library is used primarily as-is in this driver, with
some post-processing to better integrate into the kernel build
environment.
isci.4 and a README in the sys/dev/isci directory contain a few
additional details.
This driver is only built for amd64 and i386 targets.

This occurred because the server side NLM always checked for VWRITE
access, irrespective of the type of lock request. This patch
replaces VOP_ACCESS(..VWRITE..) with one appropriate to
the lock operation. It allows unlock and lock cancellation
to be done without a check of VOP_ACCESS(), so that files
can't be left locked indefinitely after the file permissions
have been changed.

In order to allow for radar pattern matching to occur, the DFS CAC/NOL
handling needs to be made configurable. This commit introduces a new
sysctl, "net.wlan.dfs_debug", which controls which DFS debug mode
net80211 is in.
* 0 = default, CSA/NOL handling as per normal.
* 1 = announce a CSA, but don't add the channel to the non-occupy list
(NOL.)
* 2 = disable both CSA and NOL - only print that a radar event occured.
This code is not compiled/enabled by default as it breaks regulatory
handling. A user must enable IEEE80211_DFS_DEBUG in their kernel
configuration file for this option to become available.

that instead of using direct I/O it allows read-ahead similar to
POSIX_FADV_NORMAL, but invokes VOP_ADVISE(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) after the
read(2) has completed to purge just-read data. The write(2) path continues
to use direct I/O for POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE for now. Note that NOREUSE works
optimally if an application reads and writes full fs blocks.

so try harder to get the CDMA sync interrupt delivered and also in
a more efficient way:
- wrap the whole process of sending and receiving the CDMA sync
interrupt in a critical section so we don't get preempted,
- send the CDMA sync interrupt to the CPU that is actually waiting
for it to happen so we don't take a detour via another CPU,
- instead of waiting for up to 15 seconds for the interrupt to
trigger try the whole process for up to 15 times using a one
second timeout (the code was also changed to just ignore belated
interrupts of a previous tries should they appear).
According to testing done by Peter Jeremy with the debugging also
added as part of this commit the first two changes apparently are
sufficient to now properly get the CDMA sync interrupts delivered

Also, store the new td_stopsched very close to td_*locks members as
they will be accessed mostly in the same codepaths as td_stopsched and
this results in avoiding a further cache-line pollution, possibly.
STOP_SCHEDULER() was pondered to use a new 'thread' argument, in order to
take advantage of already cached curthread, but in the end there should
not really be a performance benefit, while introducing a KPI breakage.

has been set up. This solves a couple of issue regarding the non-
availability of the static per-CPU data:
- panic() not working and only making things worse when called,
- having to supply a special DELAY() implementation to the low-level
console drivers,
- curthread accesses of mutex(9) usage in low-level console drivers

NFS clients was reported to freebsd-fs@ under the subject "NFS
corruption in recent HEAD" on Nov. 26, 2011. This problem occurred when
a TCP mounted root fs was changed to using UDP. I believe that this
problem was caused by the change in mnt_stat.f_iosize that occurred
because rsize was decreased to the maximum supported by UDP. This
patch fixes the problem by using v_bufobj.bo_bsize instead of f_iosize,
since the latter is set to f_iosize when the vnode is allocated, but
does not change for a given vnode when f_iosize changes.
