This driver actually works slightly better on -stable than on -current
(the system locks on detach on -current), so it should be MFC'd somewhat
sooner.
This driver currently points out a difficulty in the sound device framework.
The PCM unregister routine is allowed to refuse the detach if the device is
in use. In the case of a USB device, however, this unregistration is much more
mandatory in nature, since the device is *actually* gone when this call is
made. The sound subsystem really should not refuse an unregistration and
should take its own steps to reject further I/O. As a result, if you detach
a USB sound device while it is in use, you can expect a panic shortly
thereafter.
This device cannot currently record audio. Some routines are unwritten as
of yet in uaudio.c to support recording.
This device hangs my -current box on detach. I don't know why. This does

This code makes use of variable-size kernel representation of rules
(exactly the same concept of BPF instructions, as used in the BSDI's
firewall), which makes firewall operation a lot faster, and the
code more readable and easier to extend and debug.
The interface with the rest of the system is unchanged, as witnessed
by this commit. The only extra kernel files that I am touching
are if_fw.h and ip_dummynet.c, which is quite tied to ipfw. In
userland I only had to touch those programs which manipulate the
internal representation of firewall rules).
The code is almost entirely new (and I believe I have written the
vast majority of those sections which were taken from the former
ip_fw.c), so rather than modifying the old ip_fw.c I decided to
create a new file, sys/netinet/ip_fw2.c . Same for the user
interface, which is in sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c (it still compiles to
/sbin/ipfw). The old files are still there, and will be removed
in due time.
I have not renamed the header file because it would have required
touching a one-line change to a number of kernel files.
In terms of user interface, the new "ipfw" is supposed to accepts
the old syntax for ipfw rules (and produce the same output with
"ipfw show". Only a couple of the old options (out of some 30 of
them) has not been implemented, but they will be soon.
On the other hand, the new code has some very powerful extensions.
First, you can put "or" connectives between match fields (and soon
also between options), and write things like
ipfw add allow ip from { 1.2.3.4/27 or 5.6.7.8/30 } 10-23,25,1024-3000 to any
This should make rulesets slightly more compact (and lines longer!),
by condensing 2 or more of the old rules into single ones.
Also, as an example of how easy the rules can be extended, I have
implemented an 'address set' match pattern, where you can specify
an IP address in a format like this:
10.20.30.0/26{18,44,33,22,9}
which will match the set of hosts listed in braces belonging to the
subnet 10.20.30.0/26 . The match is done using a bitmap, so it is
essentially a constant time operation requiring a handful of CPU
instructions (and a very small amount of memmory -- for a full /24
subnet, the instruction only consumes 40 bytes).
Again, in this commit I have focused on functionality and tried
to minimize changes to the other parts of the system. Some performance
improvement can be achieved with minor changes to the interface of
ip_fw_chk_t. This will be done later when this code is settled.
The code is meant to compile unmodified on RELENG_4 (once the
PACKET_TAG_* changes have been merged), for this reason
you will see #ifdef __FreeBSD_version in a couple of places.
This should minimize errors when (hopefully soon) it will be time
to do the MFC.

uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.
uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are

ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().
vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.
vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)
vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.
vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().

routines.
vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in

options do. Comments should be in NOTES and having the comments in two
places usually means that one place will just bitrot. Thus, remove the
comment for KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL from the previous revision.
Requested by: bde
operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled
asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events
to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by
the new ktrace_lock.
There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various
ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the
end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of
the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the
thread triggering the event.
Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a
ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace
worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are
still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests
from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a
synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put
the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread.
The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue.
When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up
the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a
later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the
synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the
synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread
back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work.
Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep()
and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few
locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the
vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means
that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered.
Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool
and returned to the pool after a request is serviced.
The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an
i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the
KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl.
If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is
printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only
printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl.
I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted
by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory.
Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace
vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose
to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently
the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is
a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first
argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer.
Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a
process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now
per-thread instead of process-wide.

is currently conditional on both the GEOM and GEOM_GPT options to
avoid getting GPT by default and having the MBR and GPT classes

The correct behaviour of the MBR class would be to back-off (reject)
a MBR if it's a Protective MBR (a MBR with a single partition of type
0xEE that spans the whole disk (as far as the MBR is concerned).
The correct behaviour if the GPT class would be to back-off (reject)
a GPT if there's a MBR that's not a Protective MBR.
At this stage it's inconvenient to destroy a good MBR when working
with GPTs that it's more convenient to have the MBR class back-off

ignore the MBR.
In sys/gpt.h UUIDs (GUIDs) for the following FreeBSD partitions
have been defined:
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD
FreeBSD slice with disklabel. This is the equivalent of
the well-known FreeBSD MBR partition type.
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD_{SWAP|UFS|UFS2|VINUM}
FreeBSD partitions in the context of disklabel. This is
speculating on the idea to use the GPT to hold partitions
instead if slices and removing the fixed (and low) limits
we have on the number of partitions.

A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.

- In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set,
then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while
holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently

blocking.
- In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex
to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads
actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case,
we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return.

activated, making writing a userland tool which is not tied to a specific
kernel configuration difficult.
- Use get_cyclecount() for timestamps. nanotime() is much too heavy weight
and requires recursion protection due to ktr traces occuring as a result
of ktr traces. KTR_VERBOSE may still require recursion protection, which
is now conditional on it.
- Allow KTR_CPU to be overridden by MD code. This is so that it is possible
to trace early in startup before pcpu and/or curthread are setup.
- Add a version number for the ktr interface. A userland tool can check this
to detect mismatches.
- Use an array for the parameters to make decoding in userland easier.
- Add file and line recording to the non-extended traces now that the extended
version is no more.
These changes will break gdb macros to decode the extended version of the
trace buffer which are floating around. Users of these macros should either
use the show ktr command in ddb, or use the userland utility which can be run
on a core dump.

I have not been able to find very much information about the PC98
extended partition layout so this is gleaned from the source in
our pc98 architecture. Corrections and patched very welcome.

disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call,
cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it
from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h
to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up).
Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should
be temporary.

The detection code in this method is written so that it should work on
all architectures which means that you can plug a Sun disk into a i386
now and access the partitions.
We still need an endian-agnostic ufs/ffs before this is really
interresting, but the main focus was to get sparc64 onto the GEOM
trail.
The stat() and open() calls have been changed to make use of this new functionality. Using shared locks in
these cases is sufficient and can significantly reduce their latency if IO is pending to these vnodes. Also,
this reduces the number of exclusive locks that are floating around in the system, which helps reduce the
number of deadlocks that occur.
A new kernel option "LOOKUP_SHARED" has been added. It defaults to off so this patch can be turned on for
testing, and should eventually go away once it is proven to be stable. I have personally been running this
patch for over a year now, so it is believed to be fully stable.

and commenting of NETSMB, NETWMBCRYPTO, and SMBFS. In NOTES, they
had all floated to the bottom of the file with the list of seemingly
random and unclassified kernel options. This change moves them back
up to the network protocol and file system areas, and also documents
the dependencies.
This makes other power-management system (APM for now) to be able to
generate power profile change events (ie. AC-line status changes), and
other kernel components, not only the ACPI components, can be notified
the events.
- move subroutines in acpi_powerprofile.c (removed) to kern/subr_power.c
- call power_profile_set_state() also from APM driver when AC-line
status changes
- add call-back function for Crusoe LongRun controlling on power
profile changes for a example
device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):
- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).
htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.
Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.

There is some unresolved badness that has been eluding me, particularly
affecting uniprocessor kernels. Turning off PG_G helped (which is a bad
sign) but didn't solve it entirely. Userland programs still crashed.
on for a while:
- fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386
- ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with
a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive. Adjust some callers
that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown
at the end instead.
- PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G)
- defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with
PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel. This should solve
some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck
underneath the 4MB pages.
- add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown
- convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines. gcc
seems to do a fair bit better with this.
- [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers. I will fix
this again shortly.
This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked
it again prior to commit since my last major testing round. The only
outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there
is an option for it (not on by default for SMP). I have seen a world
speedups by a few percent (as much as 4 or 5% in one case) but I have
*not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers.
- fix the warnings, they are there for a reason!
- add -DNO_ERROR to your make(1) command.
- add 'makeoptions NO_WERROR=true' to your kernel config.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* that have warnings that should be fixed
due to tracking 3rd party vendor code.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* where the warning is false due to a
compiler bug and fixing it with brute force would be too expensive.
There are some very sloppy warnings in our kernel build, come on folks!
'make release' uses -DNO_WERROR intentionally.
so that this is safe even if VARIABLE is longer than kern.argmax.
There is another instance of CFILES which might need the same treatment,
and might be noticed when doing a "make links".
The same has to be done in RELENG_4 (on some different file).

It doesn't actually do it yet though. This adds a flag to config so
that we can exclude certain vendor files from this even when the rest
of the kernel has it on. make -DNO_WERROR would also bypass all of it.
buffer length, determine if the pointer is to a valid string. Currently,
the only check is whether a '\0' appears in the buffer. This is useful
when pulling in a structure from userland that may contain one or more
strings, and validity testing must be performed on elements of the
structure. When copying normal string arguments, copyinstr() is
expected to be used.
