atomic_fcmpset_*() is analogous to atomic_cmpset(), but saves off the read value
from the target memory location into the 'old' pointer in the case of failure.

After some digging and looking at packet traces, it looks like the
sequence number allocation being done by net80211 doesn't meet
802.11-2012.
Specifically, group addressed frames (broadcast, multicast) have
sequence numbers allocated from a separate pool, even if they're
QoS frames.
This patch starts to try and address this, both on transmit and
receive.
* When receiving, don't throw away multicast frames for now.
It's sub-optimal, but until we correctly track group addressed
frames via another TID counter, this is the best we can do.
* When doing A-MPDU checks, don't include group addressed frames
in the sequence number checks.
* When transmitting, don't allocate group frame sequence numbers
from the TID, instead use the NONQOS TID for allocation.
This may fix iwn(4) 11n because I /think/ this was one of the
handful of places where ni_txseqs[] was being assigned /outside/
of the driver itself.
This however doesn't completely fix things - notably the way that
TID assignment versus WME assignment for driver hardware queues
will mess up multicast ordering. For example, if all multicast
QoS frames come from one sequence number space but they're
expected to obey the QoS value assigned, they'll end up in
different queues in the hardware and go out in different
orders.
I can't fix that right now and indeed fixing it will require some
pretty heavy lifting of both the WME<->TID QoS assignment, as well
as figuring out what the correct way for drivers to behave.
For example, both iwn(4) and ath(4) shouldn't put QoS multicast
traffic into the same output queue as aggregate traffic, because
the sequence numbers are all wrong. So perhaps the correct thing
to do there is ignore the WME/TID for QoS traffic and map it all
to the best effort queue or something, and ensure it doesn't
muck up the TID/blockack window tracking. However, I'm /pretty/
sure that is still going to happen.
.. maybe I should disable multicast QoS frames in general as well,
but I don't know what that'll do for whatever the current state
of 802.11s mesh support is.
Tested:
* STA mode, ath10k NIC
* AP mode, AR9344/AR9580 AP
* iperf tcp/udp tests with concurrent multicast QoS traffic.
Before this, iperfs would fail pretty quickly because the sending
AP would start sending out QoS multicast frames that would be
out of order from the rest of the TID traffic, causing the blockack
window to get way, way out of sync.
This now doesn't occur.
TODO:
* verify which QoS frames SHOULD be tagged as M_AMPDU_MPDU.
For example, QoS NULL frames shouldn't be tagged!

protection change.
On superpage promotion, x86 pmaps do not invalidate existing 4K
entries for the superpage range, because they are compatible with the
promoted 2/4M entry. But the invalidation on superpage removal or
protection change only did single INVLPG with the base address of the
superpage. This reliably flushed superpage TLB entry, and 4K entry
for the first page of the superpage, potentially leaving other 4K TLB
entries lingering. Do the invalidation of the whole superpage range
to correct the problem.
Note that the precise invalidation is done by x86 code for kernel_pmap
only, for user pmaps whole (per-AS) TLB is flushed. This made the bug
well hidden, because promotions of the kernel mappings require
specific load.

convention for interfaces, because only one stf(4) interface can exist
in the system.
This disallow the use of unit numbers different than 0, however, it is
possible to create the clone without specify the unit number (wildcard).
In the wildcard case we must update the interface name before return.
This fix an infinite recursion in pf code that keeps track of network
interfaces and groups:
1 - a group for the cloned type of the interface is added (stf in this
case);
2 - the system will now try to add an interface named stf (instead of
stf0) to stf group;
3 - when pfi_kif_attach() tries to search for an already existing 'stf'
interface, the 'stf' group is returned and thus the group is added
as an interface of itself;
This will now cause a crash at the first attempt to traverse the groups
which the stf interface belongs (which loops over itself).

The curcpu macro loads the per-cpu data pointer as its first step,
so the remaining steps of pcpu_find(curcpu) are circular.
get_pcpu() is already implemented for arm, arm64, and risc-v.
My plan is to implement it for the remaining architectures and use

While GCC's __nonnull__ attribute is generally useful to prevent misuse of
some functions it also tends to do rather dangerous "optimizations". Now
that we have replaced (r312934) all such uses with the clang nullability
qualifiers, the GCC attribute is unnecessary.
Remove the definition completely to prevent its use in system's headers.
Replace uses of the GCC __nonnull__ attribute with the clang nullability
qualifiers. The replacement should be transparent for clang developers as
the new qualifiers will produce the same warnings and will be useful for
static checkers but will not cause aggressive optimizations.
GCC will not produce such warnings and developers will have to use
upgraded GCC ports built with the system headers from r312538.

Implement a new "geomio" configuration argument to altera_avgen(4),
the generic I/O device we attach to various BERI peripherals. The new
option requests that, instead of exposing the underlying device via a
special device node in /dev, it instead be exposed via geom(4),
allowing it to be used with filesystems. The current implementation
does not allow a device to be exposed both for file/mmap and geom, so
one of the two models must be selected when configuring it via FDT or
device.hints. A typical use of the new option will be:
sri-cambridge,geomio = "rw";

CheriBSD, which attempt to work around an inherent race in the UART's
control-register design in detecting whether JTAG is currently,
present, which will otherwise lead to moderately frequent output

Now, these drops are quite infrequent.

Add a new sysctl, hw.altera_jtag_uart.ac_poll_delay, which allows the
(default 10ms) delay associated with a full JTAG UART buffer combined
with a lack of a JTAG-present flag to be tuned. Setting this higher
may cause some JTAG configurations to be more reliable when printing
out low-level console output at a speed greater than the JTAG UART is
willing to carry data. Or it may not.

Minor improvements to the Altera JTAG UART device driver:
- Minor rework to the logic to detect JTAG presence in order to be a bit
more resilient to inevitable races: increase the retry period from two
seconds to four seconds for trying to find JTAG, and more agressively
clear the miss counter if JTAG has been reconnected. Once JTAG has
vanished, stop prodding the miss counter.
- Do a bit of reworking of the output code to frob the control register
less by checking whether write interrupts are enabled/disabled before
changing their state. This should reduce the opportunity for races
with JTAG discovery (which are inherent to the Altera
hardware-software interface, but can at least be minimised).
- Add statistics relating to interrupt enable/disable/JTAG
discovery/etc.
With these changes, polled-mode JTAG UART ttys appear substantially
more robust.
