As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default. But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.
Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances. This is considered a future work
item.
On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot. But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.
This change adds several tunables and diagnostic sysctls, documented
thoroughly in UPDATING and sys/dev/random/random_infra.c.

remain viable.
On some machines, DMAR contexts must be created before all devices
under the scope of the corresponding DMAR unit are enumerated.
Current code has two problems with that:
- scope lookup returns NULL device_t, which causes to skip creating a
context with RMRR, which is fatal for the affected device.
- calculation of the final pci dbsf address fails if any bridge in the
scope is not yet enumerated, because code relies on pcib_get_bus().
Make creation of contexts work either with device_t, or with DMAR PCI
scope paths. Scope provides enough information to infer context
address, and it is directly matched against DMAR tables scopes.
When calculating bus addresses for the scope or device, use direct
pci_cfgregread(PCIR_SECBUS_1) to get the secondary bus number, instead
of pcib_get_bus().
The issue was observed on HP Gen servers, where iLO PCI devices are
located behind south bridge switch. Turning on translation without
satisfying RMRR requests caused iLO to mostly hang, up to the level of
being unusable to control the server.
While there, remove hw.dmar.dmar_match_verbose tunable, and make the
normal logging under bootverbose useful and sufficient to diagnose
DRHD and RMRR parsing and matching.

sha1 is used by ether_gen_addr after r346324. Perhaps in an ideal world we
could detect that the kernel's been compiled without sha1_* bits included
and silently fallback to arc4random instead because these platforms/kernel
configs are far and few between. It's fairly lightweight, though, so just
include it for now.
Give devices that need a MAC a 16-bit allocation out of the FreeBSD
Foundation OUI range. Change the name ether_fakeaddr to ether_gen_addr now
that we're dealing real MAC addresses with a real OUI rather than random
locally-administered addresses.

If during DIOCRSETTFLAGS pfrio_buffer is NULL copyin() will fault, which we're

We must count the number of entries in the table and release the lock during
copyin(). Only then can we re-acquire the lock. Note that this is safe, because
pfr_set_tflags() will check if the table and entries exist.

The code previously set up interrupt handlers for all the interrupt
resources available, including for timers that are not in use. That could
lead to interrupt storms. For example, if boot firmware enabled the virtual
timer but the kernel is using the physical timer, it could get flooded with
interrupts on the virtual timer which it cannot shut off. By only setting
up an interrupt handler for the hardware that will actually be used, any
interrupts from other timer units will remain masked in the interrupt
controller.

This is useful for arm (possibly other arches too) where we want to have
a GENERIC kernel that only include files for the different SoC. Since
multiple SoCs/Board needs the same device we would need to do either :
Include the device in a generic file
Include the device in each file that really needs it
Option 1 works but if someone wants to create a specific kernel config
(which isn't uncommon for embedded system), he will need to add a lots

After the referenced commit, we did not set x87 and sse valid bits in
the xstate_bv bitmask for initial fpu state (stored in memory), when
using XSAVE.
The state is loaded into FPU register file to initialize the process
FPU state, and since both bits were clear, the default x87 and SSE
states were loaded. By chance, FreeBSD ABI SSE2 state is same as FPU
initial state, so the bug is not visible for 64bit processes. But on
i386, the precision control should be set to double (53bit mantissa),
instead of the default double extended (64bit mantissa). For 32bit
processes on amd64, kernel reloads control word with the right mask,
which only left native i386 and amd64 native but using x87 as
affected.
Fix it by setting minimal required xstate_bv mask.

This is a stopgap measure to unbreak installer/VM/embedded boot issues
introduced (or at least exposed by) in r346250.
Add the new tunable, "security.stack_protect.permit_nonrandom_cookies," in
order to continue boot with insecure non-random stack cookies if the random
device is unavailable.
For now, enable it by default. This is NOT safe. It will be disabled by
default in a future revision.
There is follow-on work planned to use fast random sources (e.g., RDRAND on
x86 and DARN on Power) to seed when the early entropy file cannot be
provided, for whatever reason. Please see D19928.
Some better hacks may be used to make the non-random __stack_chk_guard
slightly less predictable (from delphij@ and mjg@); those suggestions are
left for a future revision. I think it may also be plausible to move stack
guard initialization far later in the boot process; potentially it could be
moved all the way to just before userspace is started.

with old kernels, by breaking the support for large frame buffers in the
same way as for current kernels.
Large frame buffers may be too large to map into kva, and the kernel
(syscons) only uses the first screen page anyway, so r203535, r205557
and 248799 limit the buffer size in VESA modes to the first screen
page, apparently without noticing that this breaks applications by
using the same limit for user mappings as for kernel mappings. In
vgl, this makes the virtual screen the same as the physical screen.
However, this is almost a feature since clearing and switching large
(usually mostly unused) frame buffers takes too long. E.g., on a 16
year old low-end AGP card it takes about 12 seconds to clear the 128MB
frame buffer in old kernels that map it all and also map it with slow
attributes (e.g., uncacheable). Older PCI cards are even slower, but
usually have less memory. Newer PCIe cards are faster, but may have
many GB of memory. Also, vgl malloc()s a shadow buffer with the same
size as the frame buffer, so large frame buffers are even more wasteful
in applications than in the kernel.
Use the same limit in vgl as in newer kernels.
Virtual screens and panning still work in non-VESA modes that have
more than 1 page. The reduced buffer size in the kernel also breaks
mmap() of the last physical page in modes where the reduced size is
not a multiple of the physical page size. The same reduction in vgl
only reduces the virtual screen size.
