Don't count busy buffers before the initial call to sync() and
don't skip the initial sync() if no busy buffers were called.
Always call sync() at least once if syncing is requested. This
defers the "Syncing disks, buffers remaining..." message until
after the initial sync() call and the first count of busy
buffers. This backs out changes in kern_shutdown 1.162.
Print a different message when there are no busy buffers after the
initial sync(), which is now the expected situation.
Print an additional message when syncing has completed successfully
in the unusual situation where the work of syncing was done by
boot().
Uppercase one message to make it consistent with all of the other
kernel shutdown messages.

logical CPUs on a system to be used as a dedicated watchdog to cause a
drop to the debugger and/or generate an NMI to the boot processor if
the kernel ceases to respond. A sysctl enables the watchdog running
out of the processor's idle thread; a callout is launched to reset a
timer in the watchdog. If the callout fails to reset the timer for ten
seconds, the watchdog will fire. The sysctl allows you to select which
CPU will run the watchdog.
A sample "debug.leak_schedlock" is included, which causes a sysctl to
spin holding sched_lock in order to trigger the watchdog. On my Xeons,
the watchdog is able to detect this failure mode and break into the
debugger, which cannot otherwise be done without an NMI button.
This option does not currently work with sched_ule due to ule's push
notion of scheduling, similar to machdep.hlt_logical_cpus failing to
work with that scheduler.
On face value, this might seem somewhat inefficient, but there are a
lot of dual-processor Xeons with HTT around, so using one as a watchdog
for testing is not as inefficient as one might fear.

implemented from the drivers. Include locking around filter ops, so a
module like aio will know when not to be unloaded if there are outstanding
knotes using it's filter ops.
Currently, it uses the MTX_DUPOK even though it is not always safe to
aquire duplicate locks. Witness currently doesn't support the ability
to discover if a dup lock is ok (in some cases).

attempt to IPI other cpus when entering the debugger in order to stop
them while in the debugger. The default remains to issue the stop;
however, that can result in a hang if another cpu has interrupts disabled
and is spinning, since the IPI won't be received and the KDB will wait
indefinitely. We probably need to add a timeout, but this is a useful
stopgap in the mean time.

and that can be used as an identify function for all kinds of busses on a
certain platform. Expect for sparc64 these are only stubs right now. [1]
- For sparc64, add code to its uart_cpu_identify() for registering the on-
board ISA UARTs and their resources based on information obtained from
Open Firmware.
It would be better if this would be done in the OFW ISA code. However, due
to the common FreeBSD ISA code and PNP-IDs not always being present in the
properties of the ISA nodes there seems to be no good way to implement that.
Therefore special casing UARTs as the sole really relevant ISA devices on
sparc64 seemed reasonable. [2]

without Open Firmware directly instead of using OF_getetheraddr(). This is
a bit painful though, as the MAC address is contained in the NA field of
the VPD of the EBus bridge, which is is another function of the same chip.
To make it worse, the VPD of the EBus bridge can't be accessed via the PCI
capability pointer but has to be digged out from the Boot PROM and has a
non-standard format.
The PCI VPD struct and macros used here should be part of the FreeBSD PCI
code nevertheless.

system configuration variable on sparc64 and add a reference to eeprom(8)

MAC address stored in the "local-mac-address" property of the device's
OFW node if present and the host address/system default MAC address if
the node doesn't doesn't have such a property. If set to "false" the
host address will be returned for all devices like before this change.
This brings the behaviour of device drivers for NICs with OFW support/
FCode, i.e. dc(4) for on-board DM9102A on Sun machines, gem(4) and hme(4),
regarding "local-mac-address?" in line with NetBSD and Solaris.
The man pages of the respective drivers will be updated separately to
reflect this change.
- Remove OF_getetheraddr2() which was used as a stopgap in dc(4). Its
functionality is now part of OF_getetheraddr().
threads consuming the result of pfind() will not need to check for a NULL
credential pointer or other signs of an incompletely created process.
However, this also means that pfind() cannot be used to test for the
existence or find such a process. Annotate pfind() to indicate that this
is the case. A review of curent consumers seems to indicate that this is
not a problem for any of them. This closes a number of race conditions
that could result in NULL pointer dereferences and related failure modes.
Other related races continue to exist, especially during iteration of the
allproc list without due caution.
