This was enumerated with exhaustive search for sys/eventhandler.h includes,
cross-referenced against EVENTHANDLER_* usage with the comm(1) utility. Manual
checking was performed to avoid redundant includes in some drivers where a
common os_bsd.h (for example) included sys/eventhandler.h indirectly, but it is
possible some of these are redundant with driver-specific headers in ways I
didn't notice.
(These CUs did not show up as missing eventhandler.h in tinderbox.)

Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.
Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.
Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.
i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.
The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

PR: 225197
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of

Note that KVA mapping of the framebuffer already uses write-combining

satisfies requirement of the IA32 architecture of using consistent
caching modes for multiple mappings of the same page.

I only need this to improve the mouse cursor, but it has always been
needed to select and/or adjust fonts.
This is complicated because there are no standard parameter tables
giving this bit of information directly, and the device register bit
giving the information can't be trusted even if it is read from the
hardware. Use a heuristic to guess if the device register can be
trusted. (The device register is normally read from the BIOS mode
table, but on my system where the device register is wrong, the mode
table doesn't match the hardware and is not used; the device registers
are used in this case.)
of our tweaked modes based on it. In practice, this means limiting the
tweaked modes to at most 80x50 based on 80x25, so there are no 90-column,
80x30 or 80x60 modes.
This happens when the the initial mode is is not in the parameter
table. We always detected this case, but assumed that the (necessarily
nonstandard) parameters of the initial mode could be tweaked just as
blindly as the probably-standard parameters of initial modes in the
table.
On 1 laptop system with near-VGA where the initial mode is nonstandard,
this is because the hardware apparently doesn't support 9-bit mode,
but otherwise has standard timing. The initial mode has 8-bit mode
CRTC horizontal parameters similar to those in syscons' 90-column modes
and in EGA modes. Tweaking these values for the 90-column modes has
little effect except to print the extra 10 columns off the screen.
Tweaking from 80x25 to 80x30 requires changing from 400 scan lines to
480. This can probably be made to work, but syscons blindly applies
values based on standard timing. This gives blank output. Tweaking
from 80x25 to 80x50 doesn't change the CRTC timing and works.
mode. This works around bugs in at least 2 Intel BIOSes for our
subsequent setting of the DAC back to 8-bit mode. The bug caused dark
(mostly 1/4-intensity) colors for all except the first setting to a
VESA graphics mode (including for settings to the current mode).
Remove restoration (with less bits) of the palette in vesa_unload()
after resetting the DAC to 6-bit mode. Depend on the BIOS to keep
the palette consistent with the DAC for the simpler reset case like
we do everywhere else in places that are actually important.
Setting the video mode should reset everything to defaults, although
we usually don't want that. Even the buggy BIOSes set the DAC to the
default 6-bit mode, and set the palette to a default that matches the
DAC. We don't undo the reset for most things, but we do undo it for
the DAC (more precisely, we change to an 8-bit DAC if possible, and
this is the only way that we set to an 8-bit DAC; it is accidental
that if the DAC was in 8-bit mode from a previous mode switch then
setting it to 8-bit mode is an undo). The buggy BIOSes are confused
by our setting of the DAC to 8-bit mode in the "undo" case. They
should multiply palette entries by 4 to match, but they actually leave
all palette entries except #2 (green) and #248-255 (unused) untouched.
Green is mysteriously scaled from 0x2a to 0x6a, and #248-255 are scaled
correctly.
Our support for the 8-bit DAC had almost no effect except to enable
bugs. Syscons barely supports 16 colors, so it doesn't benefit much
from having a palette with 16 million colors instead of only 256K.
Applications can manage the palette using FBIO_{GET,SET}PALETTE, but
the palette managed by this is only used in the less interesting modes
(text and non-truecolor graphics modes up to 8 bits wide), and the
kernel loses the changes on any mode switch (including to another vt
in a different mode).
Newer VGAs don't support any mono modes, but bugs in the tables created
2 virtual mono modes (#45 90x43 and #112 80x43) that behaved more
strangely than crashing. 90-column modes are tweaked 80-column ones
and also fail to work on newer VGAs. #45 did crash (hang) on some
hardware.
On ARM if memattr is not overriden mmap(2) maps framebuffer
memory as WBWA which means part of changes to content in userland
end up in cache and appear on screen gradually as cache lines are
evicted. This change adds configurable memattr that hardware fb
implementation can set to get the memory mapping type it
requires:
- Add new flag FB_FLAG_MEMATTR that indicates that framebuffer
driver overrides default memattr
- Add new field fb_memattr to struct fb_info to specify requested

The vtophys() function is used to get the physical page address for
the virtually allocated frame buffers when a physically continuous
memory area is not available. This change also allows removing the
masking of the FB_FLAG_NOMMAP flag in the PS3 syscons driver.
The FB and VT drivers were tested using X.org/xf86-video-scfb and
syscons.
The main purpose of this feature is to be able to unload a KMS driver.
When going back from the current vt(4) backend to the previous backend,
the previous backend is reinitialized with the special VDF_DOWNGRADE
flag set. Then the current driver is terminated with the new "vd_fini"
callback.
In the case of vt_fb and vt_vga, this allows the former to pass the
vgapci device vt_fb used to vt_vga so the device can be rePOSTed.

The goal is to avoid that the vt(4) resume happens before the video
display is resumed. The original patch was provided by Andriy Gapon.
This new patch registers the handlers in vt_upgrade(). This is done
once, thanks to the VDF_ASYNC flag. I abused this flag because it was
already abused by the keyboard allocation. The event handlers then call
the backend if it provides callbacks for suspend/resume.

There were two issues:
1. The area given to vt_is_cursor_in_area() was adding the drawable
area offset, something already handled by this function.
2. The cursor was shifted on the screen by the offset of this area
and thus was misplaced or not erased. Furthermore, when reaching
the bottom or right borders, the cursor was either totally
removed or not erased correctly.

Rename vt_generate_vga_palette() to vt_generate_cons_palette() and
change it to build a palette where the color index is the same than in
terminal escape codes, not the VGA index. That's what TCHAR_CREATE()
uses and passes to vt(4).
The main differences between both orders are:
o Blue and red are swapped (1 <-> 4)
o Yellow and cyan are swapped (3 <-> 6)
The problem remained unnoticed, because the RGB bit indexes passed to
vt_generate_vga_palette() were reversed. This inversion was cancelled
by the colors inversions in the generated palette. For instance, red
(0xff0000) and blue (0x0000ff) have bytes in opposite order, but were
swapped in the palette. But after changing the value of blue (see last
paragraph), the modified color was in fact the red one.
This commit includes a fix to creator_vt.c, submitted by Nathan
Whitehorn: fb_cmsize is set to 16. Before this, the generated palette
would be overwritte. This fixes colors on sparc64 with a Creator3D

vt_fb_attach() currently always returns 0, but it could return a code
defined in errno.h. However, it doesn't return a CN_* code. So checking
its return value against CN_DEAD (which is 0) is incorrect, and in this

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
