Recent versions of UEFI have moved local APIC timer initialization into
the early SEC phase which runs out of ROM, prior to self-relocating
into RAM. This results in a hypervisor exit.
Currently bhyve prevents instruction emulation from segments that aren't
marked as "sysmem" aka guest RAM, with the vm_gpa_hold() routine failing.
However, there is no reason for this restriction: the hypervisor already
controls whether EPT mappings are marked as executable.
Fix by dropping the redundant check of sysmem.

Save and restore (also known as suspend and resume) permits a snapshot
to be taken of a guest's state that can later be resumed. In the
current implementation, bhyve(8) creates a UNIX domain socket that is
used by bhyvectl(8) to send a request to save a snapshot (and
optionally exit after the snapshot has been taken). A snapshot
currently consists of two files: the first holds a copy of guest RAM,
and the second file holds other guest state such as vCPU register
values and device model state.
To resume a guest, bhyve(8) must be started with a matching pair of
command line arguments to instantiate the same set of device models as
well as a pointer to the saved snapshot.
While the current implementation is useful for several uses cases, it
has a few limitations. The file format for saving the guest state is
tied to the ABI of internal bhyve structures and is not
self-describing (in that it does not communicate the set of device
models present in the system). In addition, the state saved for some
device models closely matches the internal data structures which might
prove a challenge for compatibility of snapshot files across a range
of bhyve versions. The file format also does not currently support
versioning of individual chunks of state. As a result, the current
file format is not a fixed binary format and future revisions to save
and restore will break binary compatiblity of snapshot files. The
goal is to move to a more flexible format that adds versioning,
etc. and at that point to commit to providing a reasonable level of
compatibility. As a result, the current implementation is not enabled
by default. It can be enabled via the WITH_BHYVE_SNAPSHOT=yes option
for userland builds, and the kernel option BHYVE_SHAPSHOT.

After removing wmb(), vm_set_rendezvous_func() became super trivial, so
there was no point in keeping it.
The wmb (sfence on amd64, lock nop on i386) was not needed. This can be
explained from several points of view.
First, wmb() is used for store-store ordering (although, the primitive
is undocumented). There was no obvious subsequent store that needed the
barrier.
Second, x86 has a memory model with strong ordering including total
store order. An explicit store barrier may be needed only when working
with special memory (device, special caching mode) or using special
instructions (non-temporal stores). That was not the case for this
code.
Third, I believe that there is a misconception that sfence "flushes" the
store buffer in a sense that it speeds up the propagation of stores from
the store buffer to the global visibility. I think that such
propagation always happens as fast as possible. sfence only makes
subsequent stores wait for that propagation to complete. So, sfence is
only useful for ordering of stores and only in the situations described
above.

Centralize calculation of signal and ucode delivered on unhandled page

consistent MI way.
This introduces the protection fault compatibility sysctls to all

were already much more wrong in selecting delivered signals on
protection violations.
Change the delivered signal for accesses to mapped area after the
backing object was truncated. According to POSIX description for
mmap(2):
The system shall always zero-fill any partial page at the end of an
object. Further, the system shall never write out any modified
portions of the last page of an object which are beyond its
end. References within the address range starting at pa and
continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an
object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal.
An implementation may generate SIGBUS signals when a reference
would cause an error in the mapped object, such as out-of-space
condition.
Adjust according to the description, keeping the existing
compatibility code for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS on protection failures.
For situations where kernel cannot handle page fault due to resource
limit enforcement, SIGBUS with a new error code BUS_OBJERR is
delivered. Also, provide a new error code SEGV_PKUERR for SIGSEGV on
amd64 due to protection key access violation.

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.
This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change
we remove a number of page lock acquisitions.

Historically we have not distinguished between kernel wirings and user
wirings for accounting purposes. User wirings (via mlock(2)) were
subject to a global limit on the number of wired pages, so if large
swaths of physical memory were wired by the kernel, as happens with
the ZFS ARC among other things, the limit could be exceeded, causing
user wirings to fail.
The change adds a new counter, v_user_wire_count, which counts the
number of virtual pages wired by user processes via mlock(2) and
mlockall(2). Only user-wired pages are subject to the system-wide
limit which helps provide some safety against deadlocks. In
particular, while sources of kernel wirings typically support some
backpressure mechanism, there is no way to reclaim user-wired pages
shorting of killing the wiring process. The limit is exported as
vm.max_user_wired, renamed from vm.max_wired, and changed from u_int
to u_long.
The choice to count virtual user-wired pages rather than physical
pages was done for simplicity. There are mechanisms that can cause
user-wired mappings to be destroyed while maintaining a wiring of
the backing physical page; these make it difficult to accurately
track user wirings at the physical page layer.
The change also closes some holes which allowed user wirings to succeed
even when they would cause the system limit to be exceeded. For
instance, mmap() may now fail with ENOMEM in a process that has called
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) if the new mapping would cause the user wiring
limit to be exceeded.
Note that bhyve -S is subject to the user wiring limit, which defaults
to 1/3 of physical RAM. Users that wish to exceed the limit must tune
vm.max_user_wired.

The implementation of the Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) for
amd64, first version. It provides a workaround for the 'meltdown'
vulnerability. PTI is turned off by default for now, enable with the
loader tunable vm.pmap.pti=1.
The pmap page table is split into kernel-mode table and user-mode
table. Kernel-mode table is identical to the non-PTI table, while
usermode table is obtained from kernel table by leaving userspace
mappings intact, but only leaving the following parts of the kernel
mapped:
kernel text (but not modules text)
PCPU
GDT/IDT/user LDT/task structures
IST stacks for NMI and doublefault handlers.
Kernel switches to user page table before returning to usermode, and
restores full kernel page table on the entry. Initial kernel-mode
stack for PTI trampoline is allocated in PCPU, it is only 16
qwords. Kernel entry trampoline switches page tables. then the
hardware trap frame is copied to the normal kstack, and execution
continues.
IST stacks are kept mapped and no trampoline is needed for
NMI/doublefault, but of course page table switch is performed.
On return to usermode, the trampoline is used again, iret frame is
copied to the trampoline stack, page tables are switched and iretq is
executed. The case of iretq faulting due to the invalid usermode
context is tricky, since the frame for fault is appended to the
trampoline frame. Besides copying the fault frame and original
(corrupted) frame to kstack, the fault frame must be patched to make
it look as if the fault occured on the kstack, see the comment in
doret_iret detection code in trap().
Currently kernel pages which are mapped during trampoline operation
are identical for all pmaps. They are registered using
pmap_pti_add_kva(). Besides initial registrations done during boot,
LDT and non-common TSS segments are registered if user requested their
use. In principle, they can be installed into kernel page table per
pmap with some work. Similarly, PCPU can be hidden from userspace
mapping using trampoline PCPU page, but again I do not see much
benefits besides complexity.
PDPE pages for the kernel half of the user page tables are
pre-allocated during boot because we need to know pml4 entries which
are copied to the top-level paging structure page, in advance on a new
pmap creation. I enforce this to avoid iterating over the all
existing pmaps if a new PDPE page is needed for PTI kernel mappings.
The iteration is a known problematic operation on i386.
The need to flush hidden kernel translations on the switch to user
mode make global tables (PG_G) meaningless and even harming, so PG_G
use is disabled for PTI case. Our existing use of PCID is
incompatible with PTI and is automatically disabled if PTI is
enabled. PCID can be forced on only for developer's benefit.
MCE is known to be broken, it requires IST stack to operate completely
correctly even for non-PTI case, and absolutely needs dedicated IST
stack because MCE delivery while trampoline did not switched from PTI
stack is fatal. The fix is pending.

Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
