Small summary
-------------
o Almost all IPsec releated code was moved into sys/netipsec.
o New kernel modules added: ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko. New kernel
option IPSEC_SUPPORT added. It enables support for loading
and unloading of ipsec.ko and tcpmd5.ko kernel modules.
o IPSEC_NAT_T option was removed. Now NAT-T support is enabled by
default. The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE encapsulation type
support was removed. Added TCP/UDP checksum handling for
inbound packets that were decapsulated by transport mode SAs.
setkey(8) modified to show run-time NAT-T configuration of SA.
o New network pseudo interface if_ipsec(4) added. For now it is
build as part of ipsec.ko module (or with IPSEC kernel).
It implements IPsec virtual tunnels to create route-based VPNs.
o The network stack now invokes IPsec functions using special
methods. The only one header file <netipsec/ipsec_support.h>
should be included to declare all the needed things to work
with IPsec.
o All IPsec protocols handlers (ESP/AH/IPCOMP protosw) were removed.
Now these protocols are handled directly via IPsec methods.
o TCP_SIGNATURE support was reworked to be more close to RFC.
o PF_KEY SADB was reworked:
- now all security associations stored in the single SPI namespace,
and all SAs MUST have unique SPI.
- several hash tables added to speed up lookups in SADB.
- SADB now uses rmlock to protect access, and concurrent threads
can do SA lookups in the same time.
- many PF_KEY message handlers were reworked to reflect changes
in SADB.
- SADB_UPDATE message was extended to support new PF_KEY headers:
SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_SRC and SADB_X_EXT_NEW_ADDRESS_DST. They
can be used by IKE daemon to change SA addresses.
o ipsecrequest and secpolicy structures were cardinally changed to
avoid locking protection for ipsecrequest. Now we support
only limited number (4) of bundled SAs, but they are supported
for both INET and INET6.
o INPCB security policy cache was introduced. Each PCB now caches
used security policies to avoid SP lookup for each packet.
o For inbound security policies added the mode, when the kernel does
check for full history of applied IPsec transforms.
o References counting rules for security policies and security
associations were changed. The proper SA locking added into xform
code.
o xform code was also changed. Now it is possible to unregister xforms.
tdb_xxx structures were changed and renamed to reflect changes in
SADB/SPDB, and changed rules for locking and refcounting.

drain timeout handling to historical freebsd behavior.
The primary reason for these changes is the need to have tty_drain() call
ttydevsw_busy() at some reasonable sub-second rate, to poll hardware that
doesn't signal an interrupt when the transmit shift register becomes empty
(which includes virtually all USB serial hardware). Such hardware hangs
in a ttyout wait, because it never gets an opportunity to trigger a wakeup
from the sleep in tty_drain() by calling ttydisc_getc() again, after
handing the last of the buffered data to the hardware.
While researching the history of changes to tty_drain() I stumbled across
some email describing the historical BSD behavior of tcdrain() and close()
on serial ports, and the ability of comcontrol(1) to control timeout
behavior. Using that and some advice from Bruce Evans as a guide, I've
put together these changes to implement the hardware polling and restore
the historical timeout behaviors...
- tty_drain() now calls ttydevsw_busy() in a loop at 10 Hz to accomodate
hardware that requires polling for busy state.
- The "new historical" behavior for draining during close(2) is retained:
the drain timeout is "1 second without making any progress". When the
1-second timeout expires, if the count of bytes remaining in the tty
layer buffer is smaller than last time, the timeout is extended for
another second. Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be extended all
the way down to the hardware, because the interface to that layer is a
simple busy/not-busy indication.
- Due to the previous point, an application that needs a guarantee that
all data has been transmitted must use TIOCDRAIN/tcdrain(3) before
calling close(2).
- The historical behavior of honoring the drainwait setting for TIOCDRAIN
(used by tcdrain(3)) is restored.
- The historical kern.drainwait sysctl to control the global default
drainwait time is restored, but is now named kern.tty_drainwait.
- The historical default drainwait timeout of 300 seconds is restored.
- Handling of TIOCGDRAINWAIT and TIOCSDRAINWAIT ioctls is restored
(this also makes the comcontrol(1) drainwait verb work again).
- Manpages are updated to document these behaviors.

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

This change reverts most of r281985.
The method did not map to anything defined by SMBus protocol and could
not be implemented for SMBus controllers.
This change is obviously not backwards compatible, but I have good
reasons to believe that there have never been any users of SMB_TRANS.
Discussed with: grembo, jhb
MFC after: 6 weeks
Summary:
The hardware does not expose a classic SMBus interface.
Instead it has a lower level interface that can express a far richer
I2C protocol than what smbus offers. However, the interface does not
provide a way to explicitly generate the I2C stop and start conditions.
It's only possible to request that the stop condition is generated
after transferring the next byte in either direction. So, at least
one data byte must always be transferred.
Thus, some I2C sequences are impossible to generate, e.g., an equivalent
of smbus quick command (<start>-<slave addr>-<r/w bit>-<stop>).
At the same time isl(4) and cyapa(4) are moved to iicbus and now they use
iicbus_transfer for communication. Previously they used smbus_trans()
interface that is not defined by the SMBus protocol and was implemented
only by ig4(4). In fact, that interface was impossible to implement
for the typical SMBus controllers like intpm(4) or ichsmb(4) where
a type of the SMBus command must be programmed.
The plan is to remove smbus_trans() and all its uses.
As an aside, the smbus_trans() method deviates from the standard,
but perhaps backwards, FreeBSD convention of using 8-bit slave
addresses (shifted by 1 bit to the left). The method expects
7-bit addresses.
There is a user facing consequence of this change.
A user must now provide device hints for isl and cyapa that specify an iicbus to use
and a slave address on it.
On Chromebook hardware where isl and cyapa devices are commonly found
it is also possible to use a new chromebook_platform(4) driver that
automatically configures isl and cyapa devices. There is no need to
provide the device hints in that case,
Right now smbus(4) driver tries to discover all slaves on the bus.
That is very dangerous. Fortunately, the probing code uses smbus_trans()
to do its job, so it is really enabled for ig4 only.
The plan is to remove that auto-probing code and smbus_trans().

AMD chipsets have proprietary mechanisms for dicovering resources.
Those resources are not discoverable via plug-and-play mechanisms
like PCI configuration registers or ACPI.
For this reason a chipset-specific knowledge of proprietary registers
is required.
At present there are two FreeBSD drivers that require the proprietary
resource discovery. One is amdsbwd which is a driver for the watchdog
timer in the AMD chipsets. The other is intpm SMBus driver when it
attaches to the newer AMD chipsets where the resources of the SMBus HBA
are not described in the regular PCI way.
In both cases the resources are discovered by accessing AMD PMIO space.
Thus, many definitions are shared between the two drivers.
This change puts those defintions into a common header file.
As an added benefit, intpm driver now supports newest FCHs built into
AMD processors of Family 15h, models 70h-7Fh and Family 16h, models

The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.
Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.
t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.
t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.
VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.
Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.
Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.

This is a driver for a pre-ATAPI ISA CD-ROM adapter. As noted in
the manpage, this driver is only useful as a backend to cdcontrol to
play audio CDs since it doesn't use DMA, so its data performance is
"abysmal" (and that was true in the mid 90's).
Previously the loop in PCIIOCGETCONF would terminate as soon as it
found enough matches. Now it will continue iterating through the
PCI device list and only terminate if it finds another matching device
for which it has no room to store a conf structure. This means that
PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE is reliably returned when the number of
matching devices is equal to the number of slots in the matches
buffer. For example, if a program requests the conf structure for a
single PCI function with a specified domain/bus/slot/function it will
now get PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE instead of PCI_GETCONF_MORE_DEVS.
While here, simplify the loop conditional a bit more by explicitly
breaking out of the loop if copyout() fails and removing a redundant
i < pci_numdevs check.

New design allows to attach multiple consumers to ntb_transport(4) instance.
Previous design obtained from Linux theoretically allowed that, but was not

New design allows hardware resources to be split between several consumers.
For example, one BAR can be dedicated for remote memory access, while other
resources can be used for packet transport for virtual Ethernet interface.
And even without resource split, this code allows to specify which consumer
driver should attach the hardware.
From some points this makes the code even closer to Linux one, even though
