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.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire 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.

independent functions with important roles in the early boot process:
mi_startup (with the "exit" recorded when it becomes swapper),
start_init (with the "exit" recorded when the thread is about to
"return" into the newly created init process), vfs_mountroot, and
vfs_mountroot_wait.
Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).
Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.
Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.
To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

This introduces a facility to EVENTHANDLER(9) for explicitly defining a
reference to an event handler list. This is useful since previously all
invokers of events had to do a locked traversal of the global list of
event handler lists in order to find the appropriate event handler list.
By keeping a pointer to the appropriate list an invoker can avoid this
traversal completely. The pointer is initialized with SYSINIT(9) during
the eventhandler stage. Users registering interest in events do not need
to know if the event is backed by such a list, since the list is added
to the global list of lists. As with lists that are not pre-defined it
is safe to register for the events before the list has been created.
This converts the process_* and thread_* events to using the new
facility, as these are events whose locked traversals end up showing up
significantly in ports build workflows (and presumably other workflows
with many short lived threads/procs). It may be advantageous to convert
other events to using the new facility.
The el_flags field is now unused, but leave it be so that this revision

struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.

exiting (NOTE_EXIT->knlist_remove_inevent()), two things happen:
- knote kn_knlist pointer is reset
- INFLUX knote is removed from the process knlist.
And, there are two consequences:
- KN_LIST_UNLOCK() on such knote is nop
- there is nothing which would block exit1() from processing past the
knlist_destroy() (and knlist_destroy() resets knlist lock pointers).
Both consequences result either in leaked process lock, or
dereferencing NULL function pointers for locking.
Handle this by stopping embedding the process knlist into struct proc.
Instead, the knlist is allocated together with struct proc, but marked
as autodestroy on the zombie reap, by knlist_detach() function. The
knlist is freed when last kevent is removed from the list, in
particular, at the zombie reap time if the list is empty. As result,
the knlist_remove_inevent() is no longer needed and removed.
Other changes:
In filt_procattach(), clear NOTE_EXEC and NOTE_FORK desired events
from kn_sfflags for knote registered by kernel to only get NOTE_CHILD
notifications. The flags leak resulted in excessive
NOTE_EXEC/NOTE_FORK reports.
Fix immediate note activation in filt_procattach(). Condition should
be either the immediate CHILD_NOTE activation, or immediate NOTE_EXIT
report for the exiting process.
In knote_fork(), do not perform racy check for KN_INFLUX before kq
lock is taken. Besides being racy, it did not accounted for notes
just added by scan (KN_SCAN).

iBCS2. The same note is true for any other potential user if

On CloudABI, the rights bits returned by cap_rights_get() match up with
the operations that you can actually perform on the file descriptor.
Limiting the rights is good, because it makes it easier to get uniform
behaviour across different operating systems. If process descriptors on
FreeBSD would suddenly gain support for any new file operation, this
wouldn't become exposed to CloudABI processes without first extending
the rights.
Extend fork1() to gain a 'struct filecaps' argument that allows you to
construct process descriptors with custom rights. Use this in
cloudabi_sys_proc_fork() to limit the rights to just fstat() and
pdwait().

* Introduce a simple set of VM policy and iterator types.
* tie the policy types into the vm_phys path for now, mirroring how
the initial first-touch allocation work was enabled.
* add syscalls to control changing thread and process defaults.
* add a global NUMA VM domain policy.
* implement a simple cascade policy order - if a thread policy exists, use it;
if a process policy exists, use it; use the default policy.
* processes inherit policies from their parent processes, threads inherit
policies from their parent threads.
* add a simple tool (numactl) to query and modify default thread/process
policities.
* add documentation for the new syscalls, for numa and for numactl.
* re-enable first touch NUMA again by default, as now policies can be
set in a variety of methods.
This is only relevant for very specific workloads.
This doesn't pretend to be a final NUMA solution.
The previous defaults in -HEAD (with MAXMEMDOM set) can be achieved by
'sysctl vm.default_policy=rr'.
This is only relevant if MAXMEMDOM is set to something other than 1.

Review:
This was reviewed through phabricator (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2559)
as well as privately and via emails to freebsd-arch@. The git history
with specific attributes is available at https://github.com/erikarn/freebsd/
in the NUMA branch (https://github.com/erikarn/freebsd/compare/local/adrian_numa_policy).
This has been reviewed by a number of people (stas, rpaulo, kib, ngie,
wblock) but not achieved a clear consensus. My hope is that with further
exposure and testing more functionality can be implemented and evaluated.
Notes:
* The VM doesn't handle unbalanced domains very well, and if you have an overly
unbalanced memory setup whilst under high memory pressure, VM page allocation
may fail leading to a kernel panic. This was a problem in the past, but it's
much more easily triggered now with these tools.
* This work only controls the path through vm_phys; it doesn't yet strongly/predictably
affect contigmalloc, KVA placement, UMA, etc. So, driver placement of memory
isn't really guaranteed in any way. That's next on my plate.

CALLOUT_ACTIVE flag.
- Callout callback functions are now allowed to be protected by
spinlocks.
- Switching the callout CPU number cannot always be done on a
per-callout basis. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for more
information.
- The timeout(9) manual page has been updated to reflect how all the
functions inside the callout API are working. The manual page has
been made function oriented to make it easier to deduce how each of
the functions making up the callout API are working without having
to first read the whole manual page. Group all functions into a
handful of sections which should give a quick top-level overview
when the different functions should be used.
- The CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK flag and its functionality has been removed
to reduce the complexity in the callout code and to avoid problems
about atomically stopping callouts via callout_stop(). If someone
needs it, it can be re-added. From my quick grep there are no
CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK clients in the kernel.
- A new callout API function named "callout_drain_async()" has been
added. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for a complete
description.
- Update the callout clients in the "kern/" folder to use the callout
API properly, like cv_timedwait(). Previously there was some custom
sleepqueue code in the callout subsystem, which has been removed,
because we now allow callouts to be protected by spinlocks. This
allows us to tear down the callout like done with regular mutexes,
and a "td_slpmutex" has been added to "struct thread" to atomically
teardown the "td_slpcallout". Further the "TDF_TIMOFAIL" and
"SWT_SLEEPQTIMO" states can now be completely removed. Currently
they are marked as available and will be cleaned up in a follow up
commit.
- Bump the __FreeBSD_version to indicate kernel modules need
recompilation.
- There has been several reports that this patch "seems to squash a

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.
