patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

the default partition, eMMC v4.41 and later devices can additionally
provide up to:
1 enhanced user data area partition
2 boot partitions
1 RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partition
4 general purpose partitions (optionally with a enhanced or extended
attribute)
Of these "partitions", only the enhanced user data area one actually
slices the user data area partition and, thus, gets handled with the
help of geom_flashmap(4). The other types of partitions have address
space independent from the default partition and need to be switched
to via CMD6 (SWITCH), i. e. constitute a set of additional "disks".
The second kind of these "partitions" doesn't fit that well into the
design of mmc(4) and mmcsd(4). I've decided to let mmcsd(4) hook all
of these "partitions" up as disk(9)'s (except for the RPMB partition
as it didn't seem to make much sense to be able to put a file-system
there and may require authentication; therefore, RPMB partitions are
solely accessible via the newly added IOCTL interface currently; see
also below). This approach for one resulted in cleaner code. Second,
it retains the notion of mmcsd(4) children corresponding to a single
physical device each. With the addition of some layering violations,
it also would have been possible for mmc(4) to add separate mmcsd(4)
instances with one disk each for all of these "partitions", however.
Still, both mmc(4) and mmcsd(4) share some common code now e. g. for
issuing CMD6, which has been factored out into mmc_subr.c.
Besides simply subdividing eMMC devices, some Intel NUCs having UEFI
code in the boot partitions etc., another use case for the partition
support is the activation of pseudo-SLC mode, which manufacturers of
eMMC chips typically associate with the enhanced user data area and/
or the enhanced attribute of general purpose partitions.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Partitioning eMMC devices is a one-time operation.
- Now that properly issuing CMD6 is crucial (so data isn't written to
the wrong partition for example), make a step into the direction of
correctly handling the timeout for these commands in the MMC layer.
Also, do a SEND_STATUS when CMD6 is invoked with an R1B response as
recommended by relevant specifications. However, quite some work is
left to be done in this regard; all other R1B-type commands done by
the MMC layer also should be followed by a SEND_STATUS (CMD13), the
erase timeout calculations/handling as documented in specifications
are entirely ignored so far, the MMC layer doesn't provide timeouts
applicable up to the bridge drivers and at least sdhci(4) currently
is hardcoding 1 s as timeout for all command types unconditionally.
Let alone already available return codes often not being checked in
the MMC layer ...
- Add an IOCTL interface to mmcsd(4); this is sufficiently compatible
with Linux so that the GNU mmc-utils can be ported to and used with
FreeBSD (note that due to the remaining deficiencies outlined above
SANITIZE operations issued by/with `mmc` currently most likely will
fail). These latter will be added to ports as sysutils/mmc-utils in
a bit. Among others, the `mmc` tool of the GNU mmc-utils allows for
partitioning eMMC devices (tested working).
- For devices following the eMMC specification v4.41 or later, year 0
is 2013 rather than 1997; so correct this for assembling the device
ID string properly.
- Let mmcsd.ko depend on mmc.ko. Additionally, bump MMC_VERSION as at
least for some of the above a matching pair is required.
- In the ACPI front-end of sdhci(4) describe the Intel eMMC and SDXC
controllers as such in order to match the PCI one.
Additionally, in the entry for the 80860F14 SDXC controller remove
the eMMC-only SDHCI_QUIRK_INTEL_POWER_UP_RESET.

Back in 2015 when I reimplemented these functions to use an AVL tree, I
was annoyed by the weakness of the typing of these functions. Both tree
nodes and keys are represented by 'void *', meaning that things like the
documentation for these functions are an absolute train wreck.
To make things worse, users of these functions need to cast the return
value of tfind()/tsearch() from 'void *' to 'type_of_key **' in order to
access the key. Technically speaking such casts violate aliasing rules.
I've observed actual breakages as a result of this by enabling features
like LTO.
I've filed a bug report at the Austin Group. Looking at the way the bug
got resolved, they made a pretty good step in the right direction. A new
type 'posix_tnode' has been added to correspond to tree nodes. It is
still defined as 'void' for source-level compatibility, but in the very
far future it could be replaced by a proper structure type containing a

GPT_UUID_TYPE. When GPT_UUID_TYPE has not been defined, the header

POSIX allows these functions to be implemented in a way that the
resulting string is stored in the input buffer. Though some may find
this annoying, this has the advantage that it makes it possible to
implement this function in a thread-safe way. It also means that they
can be implemented in a way that they work for paths of arbitrary
length, as the output string of these functions is never longer than
max(1, len(input)).
Portable code already needs to be written with this in mind, so in my
opinion it makes very little sense to allow the existing behaviour.
Prevent the base system from falling back to this by switching over to
POSIX prototypes.
I'm not going to bump the __FreeBSD_version for this. The reason is that
it's possible to account for this change in a portable way, without
depending on a specific version of FreeBSD. An exp-run was done some

replace our copies by ones that are thread-safe and don't depend on

Using a cookie with meta mode causes it to *not rerun* (as normal make

After all of the work done here it turns out that skipping installation

intention of the POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1TM-2008/Cor 1-2013.
A robust mutex is guaranteed to be cleared by the system upon either
thread or process owner termination while the mutex is held. The next
mutex locker is then notified about inconsistent mutex state and can
execute (or abandon) corrective actions.
The patch mostly consists of small changes here and there, adding
neccessary checks for the inconsistent and abandoned conditions into
existing paths. Additionally, the thread exit handler was extended to
iterate over the userspace-maintained list of owned robust mutexes,
unlocking and marking as terminated each of them.
The list of owned robust mutexes cannot be maintained atomically
synchronous with the mutex lock state (it is possible in kernel, but
is too expensive). Instead, for the duration of lock or unlock
operation, the current mutex is remembered in a special slot that is
also checked by the kernel at thread termination.
Kernel must be aware about the per-thread location of the heads of
robust mutex lists and the current active mutex slot. When a thread
touches a robust mutex for the first time, a new umtx op syscall is
issued which informs about location of lists heads.
The umtx sleep queues for PP and PI mutexes are split between
non-robust and robust.

Traditionally the hcreate() function creates a hash table that uses
chaining, using a fixed user-provided size. The problem with this
approach is that this often either wastes memory (table too big) or
yields bad performance (table too small). For applications it may not
always be easy to estimate the right hash table size. A fixed number
only increases performance compared to a linked list by a constant
factor.
This problem can be solved easily by dynamically resizing the hash
table. If the size of the hash table is at least doubled, this has no
negative on the running time complexity. If a dynamically sized hash
table is used, we can also switch to using open addressing instead of
chaining, which has the advantage of just using a single allocation for
the entire table, instead of allocating many small objects.
Finally, a problem with the existing implementation is that its
deterministic algorithm for hashing makes it possible to come up with
fixed patterns to trigger an excessive number of collisions. We can
easily solve this by using FNV-1a as a hashing algorithm in combination
with a randomly generated offset basis.
Measurements have shown that this implementation is about 20-25% faster
than the existing implementation (even if the existing implementation is
given an excessive number of buckets). Though it allocates more memory
through malloc() than the old implementation (between 4-8 pointers per
used entry instead of 3), process memory use is similar to the old
implementation as if the estimated size was underestimated by a factor
10. This is due to the fact that malloc() needs to perform less
bookkeeping.

The existing implementations of POSIX tsearch() and tdelete() don't
attempt to perform any balancing at all. Testing reveals that inserting
100k nodes into a tree sequentially takes approximately one minute on my
system.
Though most other BSDs also don't use any balanced tree internally, C
libraries like glibc and musl do provide better implementations. glibc
uses a red-black tree and musl uses an AVL tree.
Red-black trees have the advantage over AVL trees that they only require
O(1) rotations after insertion and deletion, but have the disadvantage
that the tree has a maximum depth of 2*log2(n) instead of 1.44*log2(n).
My take is that it's better to focus on having a lower maximum depth,
for the reason that in the case of tsearch() the invocation of the
comparator likely dominates the running time.
This change replaces the tsearch() and tdelete() functions by versions
that create an AVL tree. Compared to musl's implementation, this version
is different in two different ways:
- We don't keep track of heights; just balances. This is sufficient.
This has the advantage that it reduces the number of nodes that are
being accessed. Storing heights requires us to also access all of the
siblings along the path.
- Don't use any recursion at all. We know that the tree cannot 2^64
elements in size, so the height of the tree can never be larger than
96. Use a 128-bit bitmask to keep track of the path that is computed.
This allows us to iterate over the same path twice, meaning we can
apply rotations from top to bottom.
Inserting 100k nodes into a tree now only takes 0.015 seconds. Insertion
seems to be twice as fast as glibc, whereas deletion has about the same
performance. Unlike glibc, it uses a fixed amount of memory.
I also experimented with both recursive and iterative bottom-up
implementations of the same algorithm. This iterative top-down version
performs similar to the recursive bottom-up version in terms of speed
and code size.
For some reason, the iterative bottom-up algorithm was actually 30%
faster for deletion, but has a quadratic memory complexity to keep track
of all the parent pointers.

THe C11 keywords are simply nonexistent when using C++ mode. They are

multiple reasons:
- The C11 keywords do not conflict with C++ naming rules. They all start
with _[A-Z]. There is no reason to make them C-only.
- It makes it practically impossible for people to use these keywords in
C header files and expect them to work from within C++ sources.
As I said in my previous commit message: GCC is by far the weirdest
compiler that I've ever used.
As GCC also gained support for the C11 keywords over time, we can patch
up <sys/cdefs.h> to not define these anymore. This has the advantage
that error messages for static assertions are printed natively and that
_Alignas() will work with even a type outside of C11 mode.

- If rewinddir() is called on a directory opened with fdopendir() before
any directory entries are fetched, rewinddir() will not adjust the seek
location of the backing file descriptor. If the file descriptor passed

when there is an invalid character in the output codeset while it is
valid in the input. However, POSIX requires iconv() to perform an
implementation-defined conversion on the character. So, Citrus iconv converts
such a character to a special character which means it is invalid in the
output codeset.
This is not a problem in most cases but some software like libxml2 depends
on GNU's behavior to determine if a character is output as-is or another form
such as a character entity (&#NNN;).
FreeBSD systems usually implemented this as a third party module and
our implementation hasn't played as nicely with the old way as it could
have.
To that end:
* Rename the iconv* symbols in libc.so.7 to have a __bsd_ prefix.
* Provide .symver compatability with existing 10.x+ binaries that
referenced the iconv symbols. All existing binaries should work.
* Like on Linux/glibc systems, add a libc_nonshared.a to the ldscript
at /usr/lib/libc.so.
* Move the "iconv*" wrapper symbols to libc_nonshared.a
This should solve the runtime ambiguity about which symbols resolve
to where. If you compile against the iconv in libc, your runtime
dependencies will be unambiguous.
Old 9.x libraries and binaries will always resolve against their
libiconv.so.3 like they did on 9.x. They won't resolve against libc.
Old 10.x binaries will be satisified by the .symver helpers.
