Don Lewis cd155b5603 Lower the amd64 shared page, which contains the signal trampoline,
from the top of user memory to one page lower on machines with the
Ryzen (AMD Family 17h) CPU.  This pushes ps_strings and the stack
down by one page as well.  On Ryzen there is some sort of interaction
between code running at the top of user memory address space and
interrupts that can cause FreeBSD to either hang or silently reset.
This sounds similar to the problem found with DragonFly BSD that
was fixed with this commit:
  https://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commitdiff/b48dd28447fc8ef62fbc963accd301557fd9ac20
but our signal trampoline location was already lower than the address
that DragonFly moved their signal trampoline to.  It also does not
appear to be related to SMT as described here:
  https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/hardware/processors-memory/955368-some-ryzen-linux-users-are-facing-issues-with-heavy-compilation-loads?p=955498#post955498

  "Hi, Matt Dillon here. Yes, I did find what I believe to be a
   hardware issue with Ryzen related to concurrent operations. In a
   nutshell, for any given hyperthread pair, if one hyperthread is
   in a cpu-bound loop of any kind (can be in user mode), and the
   other hyperthread is returning from an interrupt via IRETQ, the
   hyperthread issuing the IRETQ can stall indefinitely until the
   other hyperthread with the cpu-bound loop pauses (aka HLT until
   next interrupt). After this situation occurs, the system appears
   to destabilize. The situation does not occur if the cpu-bound
   loop is on a different core than the core doing the IRETQ. The
   %rip the IRETQ returns to (e.g. userland %rip address) matters a
   *LOT*. The problem occurs more often with high %rip addresses
   such as near the top of the user stack, which is where DragonFly's
   signal trampoline traditionally resides. So a user program taking
   a signal on one thread while another thread is cpu-bound can cause
   this behavior. Changing the location of the signal trampoline
   makes it more difficult to reproduce the problem. I have not
   been because the able to completely mitigate it. When a cpu-thread
   stalls in this manner it appears to stall INSIDE the microcode
   for IRETQ. It doesn't make it to the return pc, and the cpu thread
   cannot take any IPIs or other hardware interrupts while in this
   state."
since the system instability has been observed on FreeBSD with SMT
disabled.  Interrupts to appear to play a factor since running a
signal-intensive process on the first CPU core, which handles most
of the interrupts on my machine, is far more likely to trigger the
problem than running such a process on any other core.

Also lower sv_maxuser to prevent a malicious user from using mmap()
to load and execute code in the top page of user memory that was made
available when the shared page was moved down.

Make the same changes to the 64-bit Linux emulator.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: FreeBSD

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The buildkernel and installkernel targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the buildkernel and installkernel targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
