the ABI when enabled. There is no longer an embedded lock_profile_object
in each lock. Instead a list of lock_profile_objects is kept per-thread
for each lock it may own. The cnt_hold statistic is now always 0 to
facilitate this.
- Support shared locking by tracking individual lock instances and
statistics in the per-thread per-instance lock_profile_object.
- Make the lock profiling hash table a per-cpu singly linked list with a
per-cpu static lock_prof allocator. This removes the need for an array
of spinlocks and reduces cache contention between cores.
- Use a seperate hash for spinlocks and other locks so that only a
critical_enter() is required and not a spinlock_enter() to modify the
per-cpu tables.
- Count time spent spinning in the lock statistics.
- Remove the LOCK_PROFILE_SHARED option as it is always supported now.
- Specifically drop and release the scheduler locks in both schedulers
since we track owners now.

- Introduce per-architecture stack_machdep.c to hold stack_save(9).
- Introduce per-architecture machine/stack.h to capture any common

- Add new kernel option "options STACK"; we will build in stack(9) if it is

with existing users of stack(9).
Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing

enforce.

1. Use device_get_nameunit for mutex naming
2. Add timer for low-latency playback

This is a largest part of this patch.
4. Add analog/digital switch (as a temporary sysctl)
5. Get back support for low-bitrate playback (with help of (2))
6. Change locking for exclusive I/O. Writing to non-PTR register
is almost safe and does not need to be ordered with PTR operations.
7. Disable MIDI until we get it to detach properly and fix memory

8. Enable multichannel playback by default. It is as stable as

11. Add new PCI IDs.
12. Debugger settings are loader tunables now.

has now been removed, they are no longer required. Removing them
significantly simplifies error-handling in the socket layer, eliminated
quite a bit of unwinding of locking in error cases.

Also rename the related functions in a similar way.
There are no functional changes.
For a packet coming in with IPsec tunnel mode, the default is
to only call into the firewall with the "outer" IP header and
payload.
With this option turned on, in addition to the "outer" parts,
the "inner" IP header and payload are passed to the
firewall too when going through ip_input() the second time.
The option was never only related to a gif(4) tunnel within
an IPsec tunnel and thus the name was very misleading.

- Don't build libatm
- Don't include ATM parts in rescue or sysinstall
- Don't install sample configuration files and documents
- Don't build kernel support as a module or in NOTES

- There was a case, unlikely, when the scope of the destination

- When listed addresses found a colliding cookie/Init, then

method for getting a assoc id (PEER_ADDR_INFO instead of
PEER_ADDR_PARAMS).
- Fix it so a peeled off socket will get a proper error return

could hang a caller.

This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.
A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.
Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.
The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.
The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.
The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

- Move updates to the lock hash to after the lock is released for spin mutexes,
sleep mutexes, and sx locks
- Add new kernel build option LOCK_PROFILE_FAST - only update lock profiling
statistics when an acquisition is contended. This reduces the overhead of
LOCK_PROFILING to increasing system time by 20%-25% which on
"make -j8 kernel-toolchain" on a dual woodcrest is unmeasurable in terms
of wall-clock time. Contrast this to enabling lock profiling without
LOCK_PROFILE_FAST and I see a 5x-6x slowdown in wall-clock time.

by default for sun4v where it is absolutely required.
This change moves the buffer from struct pcpu to the stack to avoid
using the critical section which created a LOR in a couple of cases
due to interaction with the tty code and kqueue. The LOR can't be
fixed with the critical section and the pcpu buffer can't be used
without the critical section.
Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was
pointed out that the stress on the stack might cause problems
depending on the call path. We don't have a way of creating tests
for those possible cases, so it's best to leave this as an option
for the time being. In time we may get enough data to enable this
option more generally.

that it would be defaulted on, with opt-out possible for

a design I favour.
