Apply a linker script when linking i386 kernel modules to apply padding
to a set_pcpu or set_vnet section. The padding value is kind-of random
and is used to catch modules not compiled with the linker-script, so
possibly still having problems leading to kernel panics.
This is needed as the code generated on certain architectures for
non-simple-types, e.g., an array can generate an absolute relocation
on the edge (just outside) the section and thus will not be properly
relocated. Adding the padding to the end of the section will ensure
that even absolute relocations of complex types will be inside the
section, if they are the last object in there and hence relocation will
work properly and avoid panics such as observed with carp.ko or ipsec.ko.
There is a rather lengthy discussion of various options to apply in
the mentioned PRs and their depends/blocks, and the review.
There seems no best solution working across multiple toolchains and
multiple version of them, so I took the liberty of taking one,
as currently our users (and our CI system) are hitting this on
just i386 and we need some solution. I wish we would have a proper

Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default. But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.
Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances. This is considered a future work
item.
On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot. But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.

There is follow-on work planned to use fast random sources (e.g., RDRAND on

If we are booting in a conforming UEFI Boot Manager Environment, then
use the BootCurrent variable to find the BootXXXX we're using. Once we
find that, then if it contains more than one EFI_DEVICE_PATH in its
what to boot section, try to use the last one as the kernel to
load. This will also set the default root partition as well. If
there's only one path, or if there's an error along the way, assume
that nothing specific was specified and revert to the old
algorithm. If something was specified, but not found, then fail the
boot. Otherwise you that, specific thing. On FreeBSD, this can be set
using efibootmgr -l <loader> -k <kernel>. We try a few variations of
kernel to cope with the fact that UEFI comes from a DOS world where
paths might be upper case and/or contain back-slashes.
Note: In an ideal world, we'd work out where we are in chain loading
by looking at the passed-in image handle and doing name
matching. However, that's unreliable since at least boot1.efi booted
images don't have that, hence the assumption that loader.efi needs to
load the last thing on the list, if possible.
The reason we fail for something specific is so that we can fully
participate in the UEFI Boot Manager Protocol and fail over to the
next item in the list of BootOrder choices when something goes wrong

lagg(4) interfaces by default as it's currently incompatible with
the lacp and loadbalance protocols.
The incompatibility is due to the fact that the flowid isn't know
for the first packet of a new outbound stream which can result in
the hash calculation method changing and hence a stream being
incorrectly split across multiple interfaces during normal
operation.
This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf:
net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1"

temporary workaround. This fixes zfs booting generally, but breaks all
GELI booting by default. Add note to UPDATING to this effect. When the
GELI issues are resolved, this will be reverted.
PowerPC kernels in r6 is actually metadata from loader(8) or gibberish
left in r6, which is not required to be anything under the
PAPR/ePAPR/CHRP/OF standards, by another boot loader.
Note that, as a result, systems need a new boot loader to boot PPC kernels
after this revision without ending up at a mountroot prompt. New boot
loaders are backwards compatible and can boot older kernels.

This can be disabled by putting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, not
/etc/src.conf, or passing it in the environment.
The purpose of this rather than simply flipping the default of AUTO_OBJ to yes
is to avoid hassling users with auto.obj.mk failures if the wanted OBJDIR is
not writable. It will fallback to writing to the source directory like it does
today if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not writable.
The act of enabling MK_AUTO_OBJ disables all 'make obj' treewalks since
previous work has made those not run if MK_AUTO_OBJ==yes in Makefile.inc1.

native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>. This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.

- Remove FreeBSD 4.x of building the kernel.

- Remove reference to CVS -P for src.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after

Add forward compatibility so that new binaries can run on old
kernels. If the new system call from ino64 isn't available on your
system, then the old one will be used and the results translated. The
stat and statfs families of functions are fully emulated. While not
required by policy, in this case it is helpful to our users to provide
this compatibility. In this case, it allows rollback of the kernel
after installing a new userland should a problem be discovered. It
also prevents foot-shooting if a user does an install before rebooting
with the new kernel. Finally, it allows the use case where one needs
to run new binaries on an old kernel as part of an upgrade process.
The getdirentries family uses tricks that may not work on remote
filesystems. Specifically, it uses a buffer 1/4 the size requested to
get the data from he old syscall.
The code carefully uses direct syscalls for old system calls to avoid
referencing freebsd11_* symbols, which contaminate ld-elf.so.1's
export table due to its use of stat functions, which causes errno to
be incorrect in client programs due to the wrong *stat* function being
resolved in some cases.
This code should removed sometime after 12 is branched.
Tested on: 12-current binaries on a 10.3-beta kernel run and return
consistent results. 12-current kernel and userland with
packages from before ino64 was committed also work.

The upgrade process requires COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to support the combination
of "old" userland and "new" kernel that exists after "make kernel" and
reboot. Mention this explicitly for those using custom kernel configs.
Once the "new" world is installed the COMPAT_FREEBSD11 could be removed
again, but that does not seem necessary to mention in UPDATING.

The existing upgrade process documented in UPDATING is both necessary
and sufficient for upgrading across the ino64 change. However, the
shortcut of installing both kernel + world before a single reboot has
been possible for quite some time, and several developers and users
were surprised by fallout from ino64. Add an explicit entry pointing
out that the full process must be followed.

the default partition, eMMC v4.41 and later devices can additionally
provide up to:
1 enhanced user data area partition
2 boot partitions
1 RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partition
4 general purpose partitions (optionally with a enhanced or extended
attribute)
Of these "partitions", only the enhanced user data area one actually
slices the user data area partition and, thus, gets handled with the
help of geom_flashmap(4). The other types of partitions have address
space independent from the default partition and need to be switched
to via CMD6 (SWITCH), i. e. constitute a set of additional "disks".
The second kind of these "partitions" doesn't fit that well into the
design of mmc(4) and mmcsd(4). I've decided to let mmcsd(4) hook all
of these "partitions" up as disk(9)'s (except for the RPMB partition
as it didn't seem to make much sense to be able to put a file-system
there and may require authentication; therefore, RPMB partitions are
solely accessible via the newly added IOCTL interface currently; see
also below). This approach for one resulted in cleaner code. Second,
it retains the notion of mmcsd(4) children corresponding to a single
physical device each. With the addition of some layering violations,
it also would have been possible for mmc(4) to add separate mmcsd(4)
instances with one disk each for all of these "partitions", however.
Still, both mmc(4) and mmcsd(4) share some common code now e. g. for
issuing CMD6, which has been factored out into mmc_subr.c.
Besides simply subdividing eMMC devices, some Intel NUCs having UEFI
code in the boot partitions etc., another use case for the partition
support is the activation of pseudo-SLC mode, which manufacturers of
eMMC chips typically associate with the enhanced user data area and/
or the enhanced attribute of general purpose partitions.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Partitioning eMMC devices is a one-time operation.
- Now that properly issuing CMD6 is crucial (so data isn't written to
the wrong partition for example), make a step into the direction of
correctly handling the timeout for these commands in the MMC layer.
Also, do a SEND_STATUS when CMD6 is invoked with an R1B response as
recommended by relevant specifications. However, quite some work is
left to be done in this regard; all other R1B-type commands done by
the MMC layer also should be followed by a SEND_STATUS (CMD13), the
erase timeout calculations/handling as documented in specifications
are entirely ignored so far, the MMC layer doesn't provide timeouts
applicable up to the bridge drivers and at least sdhci(4) currently
is hardcoding 1 s as timeout for all command types unconditionally.
Let alone already available return codes often not being checked in
the MMC layer ...
- Add an IOCTL interface to mmcsd(4); this is sufficiently compatible
with Linux so that the GNU mmc-utils can be ported to and used with
FreeBSD (note that due to the remaining deficiencies outlined above
SANITIZE operations issued by/with `mmc` currently most likely will
fail). These latter will be added to ports as sysutils/mmc-utils in
a bit. Among others, the `mmc` tool of the GNU mmc-utils allows for
partitioning eMMC devices (tested working).
- For devices following the eMMC specification v4.41 or later, year 0
is 2013 rather than 1997; so correct this for assembling the device
ID string properly.
- Let mmcsd.ko depend on mmc.ko. Additionally, bump MMC_VERSION as at
least for some of the above a matching pair is required.
- In the ACPI front-end of sdhci(4) describe the Intel eMMC and SDXC
controllers as such in order to match the PCI one.
Additionally, in the entry for the 80860F14 SDXC controller remove
the eMMC-only SDHCI_QUIRK_INTEL_POWER_UP_RESET.
