VSS stands for "Volume Shadow Copy Service". Unlike virtual machine
snapshot, it only takes snapshot for the virtual disks, so both
filesystem and applications have to aware of it, and cooperate the
whole VSS process.
This driver exposes two device files to the userland:
/dev/hv_fsvss_dev
Normally userland programs should _not_ mess with this device file.
It is currently used by the hv_vss_daemon(8), which freezes and
thaws the filesystem. NOTE: currently only UFS is supported, if
the system mounts _any_ other filesystems, the hv_vss_daemon(8)
will veto the VSS process.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was disabled, then this device file must be
opened, and proper ioctls must be issued to keep the VSS working.
/dev/hv_appvss_dev
Userland application can opened this device file to receive the
VSS freeze notification, hold the VSS for a while (mainly to flush
application data to filesystem), release the VSS process, and
receive the VSS thaw notification i.e. applications can run again.
The VSS will still work, even if this device file is not opened.
However, only filesystem consistency is promised, if this device
file is not opened or is not operated properly.
hv_vss_daemon(8) is started by devd(8) by default. It can be disabled
by editting /etc/devd/hyperv.conf.

The 802.11-2012 specification notes that a subset of IEs should be present
in IBSS probe requests. This is what (initially) allows nodes to discover
that other nodes are 11n capable. Notably - HTCAP, but not HTINFO.
This isn't everything required to reliably enable 11n between net80211
peers; there's more work to come.
Tested:

Although the higher end MIPS hardware handles cache aliasing issues in
hardware, the older cores (r4k, etc) and some compile versions of the
newer cores (mips24k, mips34k, mips74k) don't have this feature.
This means we end up with some very unfortunate behaviour that was
made very obvious by some recent changes to the FFS pager by kib.
So, flip this off until we get our MIPS pmap/cache code upgraded to
handle aliased pages in software.

The default (512) wastes quite a bit of space which doesn't really buy
us much on highly embedded systems which don't take a lot of locks in
parallel.
This makes it at least build time configurable so people can experiment.
Config7 contains useful fields, for instance, field AR indicating that the D-cache is configured to avoid cache aliases. This patch brings printing of config7 for MIPS 24K, 74K, 1004K.

Currently mount update keeps vfs_busy(9) reference on the mount point
during MNT_UPDATE VFS_MOUNT() vfsops call. This already provides the
exclusion, but is problematic for filesystems which need to perform
namei(9) during VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) operations, e.g. to refresh
mnt_from path, because namei(9) must not be called while the
vfs_busy(9) reference is owned.
Check for MNT_UPDATE flag before setting MNTK_UNMOUNT, and for
MNTK_UNMOUNT before entering innards of vfs_domount_update(), failing
syscalls with EBUSY if conflict is detected. Keep vfs_busy(9)
reference around VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) calls still to not change VFS
KPI.
In the update path in ffs_mount(), drop vfs_busy() reference around
namei(), which is now safe due to unmount never executing in parallel
with VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE), and which avoids the deadlock.

Linux has a slightly different device tree definition for DPAA than originally
done in the FreeBSD driver. This changes the driver to be mostly compatible
with the Linux device tree definitions. Currently the differences are:
bman-portals: compatible = "fsl,bman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
qman-portals: compatible = "fsl,qman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
fman: compatible = "fsl,fman" (Linux is "simple-bus")
The Linux device tree doesn't specify anything for rgmii in the mdio. This
change still requires the device tree to specify the phy-handle, and doesn't yet
support tbi.
These are FreeBSD-specific and were added in r178576 to provide the ability
to pretty-print instances of compound types. However, the print action has
long since been augmented to provide this functionality with a simpler
interface.

Calling into an ifnet implementation with the if_addr_lock already
held can cause a LOR and potentially a deadlock, as ifnet
implementations typically can take the if_addr_lock after their
own locks during configuration. Refactor a sysctl handler that
was violating this to read if_counter data in a temporary buffer
before the if_addr_lock is taken, and then copying the data
in its final location later, when the if_addr_lock is held.

The other CPU might resume and see a still-empty runq and go back to
sleep before sched_add() adds the thread to the runq. This results
in a lost wakeup and a potential hang if the system is otherwise
completely idle.
The race originated due to a micro-optimization (my fault) in 4BSD in
that it avoided putting a thread on the run queue if the scheduler was
going to preempt to the new thread. To avoid complexity while fixing
this race, just drop this optimization. 4BSD now always sets the
"owepreempt" flag when a preemption is warranted and defers the actual
preemption to the thread_unlock of the caller the same as ULE.

In the case where a hardware error is detected during
ioat_process_events, hardware may advance (by one descriptor, probably)
and a subsequent ioat_process_events may race the intended ioat_reset_hw
followup. In that case, the second process_events would observe a
completion update that does not match the software "last_seen" status,
and attempt to successfully complete already-failed descriptors.
Guard against this race with the resetting_cleanup flag.

update was allocated by contigmalloc(9), and it was reasonable to be
conservative as much as possible. Since all uses of contigmalloc(9)
