This is a T4 and T5 chip feature which lets the chip deliver multiple
Ethernet frames in a single buffer. This is more efficient within the
chip, in the driver, and reduces wastage of space in rx buffers.
- Always allocate rx buffers from the jumbop zone, no matter what the
MTU is. Do not use the normal cluster refcounting mechanism.
- Reserve space for an mbuf and a refcount in the cluster itself and let
the chip DMA multiple frames in the rest.
- Use the embedded mbuf for the first frame and allocate mbufs on the
fly for any additional frames delivered in the cluster. Each of these
mbufs has a reference on the underlying cluster.

Use this new driver for both PV and HVM instances.
This driver requires a Xen hypervisor that supports vector callbacks,
VCPUOP hypercalls, and reports that it has a "safe PV clock".

sys/dev/xen/timer/timer.c:
- Register a PV timer device driver which (currently)
implements device_{identify,probe,attach} and stubs
device_detach. The detach routine requires functionality
not provided by timecounters(4). The suspend and resume
routines need additional work (due to Xen requiring that
the hypercalls be executed on the target VCPU), and aren't
needed for our purposes.
- Make sure there can only be one device instance of this
driver, and that it only registers one eventtimers(4) and
one timecounters(4) device interface. Make both interfaces
use PCPU data as needed.
- Match, with a few style cleanups & API differences, the
Xen versions of the "fetch time" functions.
- Document the magic scale_delta() better for the i386 version.
- When registering the event timer, bind a separate event
channel for the timer VIRQ to the device's event timer
interrupt handler for each active VCPU. Describe each
interrupt as "xen_et:c%d", so they can be identified per
CPU in "vmstat -i" or "show intrcnt" in KDB.
- When scheduling a timer into the hypervisor, try up to
60 times if the hypervisor rejects the time as being in
the past. In the common case, this retry shouldn't happen,
and if it does, it should only happen once. This is
because the event timer advertises a minimum period of
100usec, which is only less than the usual hypercall round
trip time about 1 out of every 100 tries. (Unlike other
similar drivers, this one actually checks whether the
hypervisor accepted the singleshot timer set hypercall.)
- Implement a RTC PV clock based on the hypervisor wallclock.

Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
early in system startup.
- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
interrupt delivery infrastructure.
- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
and HVM guests.
- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
thread.
- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
be used to optimize MSI.

MADV_DONTNEED) and madvise(..., MADV_FREE). Specifically, introduce a new
pmap function, pmap_advise(), that operates on a range of virtual addresses
within the specified pmap, allowing for a more efficient implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE. Previously, the implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE relied on per-page pmap operations, such as
pmap_clear_reference(). Intuitively, the problem with this implementation
is that the pmap-level locks are acquired and released and the page table
traversed repeatedly, once for each resident page in the range
that was specified to madvise(2). A more subtle flaw with the previous
implementation is that pmap_clear_reference() would clear the reference bit
on all mappings to the specified page, not just the mapping in the range
specified to madvise(2).
Since our malloc(3) makes heavy use of madvise(2), this change can have a
measureable impact. For example, the system time for completing a parallel
"buildworld" on a 6-core amd64 machine was reduced by about 1.5% to 2.0%.
Note: This change only contains pmap_advise() implementations for a subset
of our supported architectures. I will commit implementations for the
remaining architectures after further testing. For now, a stub function is
sufficient because of the advisory nature of pmap_advise().

As promised, drop the option to make the older GNU patch
the default.
GNU patch is still being built but something drastic may
happen to it to it before Release.
Add a last-modified timestamp to each LRO entry and provide an interface
to flush all inactive entries. Drivers decide when to flush and what
the inactivity threshold should be.
Network drivers that process an rx queue to completion can enter a
livelock type situation when the rate at which packets are received
reaches equilibrium with the rate at which the rx thread is processing
them. When this happens the final LRO flush (normally when the rx
routine is done) does not occur. Pure ACKs and segments with total
payload < 64K can get stuck in an LRO entry. Symptoms are that TCP
tx-mostly connections' performance falls off a cliff during heavy,
unrelated rx on the interface.
Flushing only inactive LRO entries works better than any of these
alternates that I tried:
- don't LRO pure ACKs
- flush _all_ LRO entries periodically (every 'x' microseconds or every
'y' descriptors)
- stop rx processing in the driver periodically and schedule remaining
work for later.

I have 25TB Dell PERC 6 RAID5 array. When it becomes almost
full (10-20GB free), processes which write data to it start
eating 100% CPU and write speed drops below 1MB/sec (normally
to gives 400MB/sec). The revision at which it first became
apparent was http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/249782.
The offending change reserved an area in each cylinder group to
store metadata. The new algorithm attempts to save this area for
metadata and allows its use for non-metadata only after all the
data areas have been exhausted. The size of the reserved area
defaults to half of minfree, so the filesystem reports full before
the data area can completely fill. However, in this report, the
filesystem has had minfree reduced to 1% thus forcing the metadata
area to be used for data. As the filesystem approached full, it
had only metadata areas left to allocate. The result was that
every block allocation had to scan summary data for 30,000 cylinder
groups before falling back to searching up to 30,000 metadata areas.
The fix is to give up on saving the metadata areas once the free
space reserve drops below 2%. The effect of this change is to use
the old algorithm of just accepting the first available block that
we find. Since most filesystems use the default 5% minfree, this
will have no effect on their operation. For those that want to push
to the limit, they will get their crappy block placements quickly.
