Summary:
Fix the stack tracing for dtrace/powerpc by using the trapexit/asttrapexit
return address sentinels instead of checking within the kernel address space.
As part of this, I had to add new inline functions. FBT traces the kernel, so
we have to have special case handling for this, since a trap will create a full
new trap frame, and there's no way to pass around the 'real' stack. I handle
this by special-casing 'aframes == 0' with the trap frame. If aframes counts
out to the trap frame, then assume we're looking for the full kernel trap frame,
so switch to the real stack pointer.

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

sites and installing a hook at the kernel's trap handler. The fasttrap code
will emulate the overwritten instruction in some common cases, but otherwise
copies it out into some scratch space in the traced process' address space
and ensures that it's executed after returning from the trap.
In Solaris and illumos, this (per-thread) scratch space comes from some
reserved space in TLS, accessible via the fs segment register. This
approach is somewhat unappealing on FreeBSD since it would require some
modifications to rtld and jemalloc (for static TLS) to ensure that TLS is
executable, and would thus introduce dependencies on their implementation
details. I think it would also be impossible to safely trace static binaries
compiled without these modifications.
This change implements the functionality in a different way, by having
fasttrap map pages into the target process' address space on demand. Each
page is divided into 64-byte chunks for use by individual threads, and
fasttrap's process descriptor struct has been extended to keep track of
any scratch space allocated for the corresponding process.

probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,
* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.
This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).
Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

dtrace_probe(). Arguments beyond these five must be obtained in an
architecture-specific way; this can be done through the getargval provider
method, and through dtrace_getarg() if getargval isn't overridden.
This change fixes two off-by-one bugs in the way these arguments are fetched
in FreeBSD's DTrace implementation. First, the SDT provider must set the
aframes parameter to 1 when creating a probe. The aframes parameter controls
the number of frames that dtrace_getarg() will step over in order to find
the frame containing the extra arguments. On FreeBSD, dtrace_getarg() is
called in SDT probe context via
dtrace_probe()->dtrace_dif_emulate()->dtrace_dif_variable->dtrace_getarg()
so aframes must be 3 since the arguments are in dtrace_probe()'s frame; it
was previously being called with a value of 2 instead. illumos uses a
different aframes value for SDT probes, but this is because illumos SDT
probes fire by triggering the #UD fault handler rather than calling
dtrace_probe() directly.
The second bug has to do with the way arguments are grabbed out
dtrace_probe()'s frame on amd64. The code currently jumps over the first
stack argument and retrieves the rest of them using a pointer into the
stack. This works on i386 because all of dtrace_probe()'s arguments will be
on the stack and the first argument is the probe ID, which should be
ignored. However, it is incorrect to ignore the first stack argument on
amd64, so we correct the pointer used to access the arguments.

Second, if a module with SDT probes was unloaded while sdt.ko was loaded,

This makes it possible to create SDT probes in KLD modules, although there

panic the system if a KLD module creates new probes in a provider from a

certain instructions in a function prologue or epilogue. DTrace has a
hook into the invalid opcode fault handler that checks whether the fault
was due to an probe and if so, runs the DTrace magic.
Upon returning from an invalid opcode fault caused by a probe, DTrace must
emulate the instruction that was replaced with the invalid opcode and then
return control to the instruction following the invalid opcode.
There were a pair of related bugs in the emulation for the leave
instruction. The leave instruction is used to pop off a stack frame prior
to returning from a function. The emulation for this instruction must
move the trap frame for the invalid opcode fault down the stack to the
bottom of the stack frame that is being removed, and then execute an iret.
At two points in this process, the emulation code was storing values above
the current value of the stack pointer. This opened up a window in which
if we were two take an interrupt, the trap frame for the interrupt would
overwrite the values stored on the stack, causing the system to panic
later.
The first bug was that at one point the emulation code saves the new value
for $esp above the current stack pointer value. The fix is to save this
value instead inside of the original trap frame. At this point we do
not need the original trap frame so this is safe.
The second bug is that when the emulate code loads $esp from the stack, it
points part-way through the new trap frame instead of at its beginning.
The emulation code adjusts the stack pointer to the correct value
immediately afterwards, but this still leaves a one instruction window in
which an interrupt would corrupt this trap frame. Fix this by adjusting
the stack frame value before loading it into $esp.

- thread T1 on CPU C1 holds a spin mutex, IPIs CPU C2 and waits for the
IPI to be handled
- C2 executes timer interrupt filter, thus has interrupts disabled, and
gets blocked on the spin mutex held by T1
The problem seems to have been introduced by simplifications made to
OpenSolaris code during porting.
The problem is fixed by reorganizing the code to more closely resemble
the upstream version. Interrupt filter (cyclic_fire) now doesn't
acquire any locks, all per-CPU data accesses are performed on a
target CPU with preemption and interrupts disabled thus precluding
concurrent access to the data.
cyp_mtx spin mutex is used to disable preemtion and interrupts; it's not
used for classical mutual exclusion, because xcall already serializes
calls to a CPU. It's an emulation of OpenSolaris
cyb_set_level(CY_HIGH_LEVEL) call, the spin mutexes could probably be
reduced to just a spinlock_enter()/_exit() pair.
Diff with upstream version is now reduced by ~500 lines, however it still
remains quite large - many things that are not needed (at the moment) or
are irrelevant on FreeBSD were simply ripped out during porting.
Examples of such things:
- support for CPU onlining/offlining
- support for suspend/resume
- support for running callouts at soft interrupt levels
- support for callout rebinding from CPU to CPU
- support for CPU partitions
