This way, when there is a dependency between two modules, the handler of the
latter probed runs first.
This is a similar approach as the modules are unloaded in the same
linkerfile.

move that module to the head of the associated linker file's list of modules.
The end result is that once all the modules are loaded, they are sorted in
the reverse of their load order. This causes the kernel linker to invoke
the MOD_QUIESCE and MOD_UNLOAD events in the reverse of the order that
MOD_LOAD was invoked. This means that the ordering of MOD_LOAD events that
is set by the SI_* paramters to DECLARE_MODULE() are now honored in the same
order they would be for SYSUNINIT() for the MOD_QUIESCE and MOD_UNLOAD
events.

unloading any modules. As a result, if any module veto's an unload
request via MOD_QUIESCE, the entire set of modules for that linker
file will remain loaded and active now rather than leaving the kld
in a weird state where some modules are loaded and some are unloaded.
- This also moves the logic for handling the "forced" unload flag out of
kern_module.c and into kern_linker.c which is a bit cleaner.
- Add a module_name() routine that returns the name of a module and use that
instead of printing pointer values in debug messages when a module fails
MOD_QUIESCE or MOD_UNLOAD.

modules using invalid ABI versions (e.g. a 7.x module with an 8.x kernel)
for a given kernel:
- Add a 'kernel' module version whose value is __FreeBSD_version.
- Add a version dependency on 'kernel' in every module that has an
acceptable version range of __FreeBSD_version up to the end of the
branch __FreeBSD_version is part of. E.g. a module compiled on 701000
would work on kernels with versions between 701000 and 799999 inclusive.

with a given module_t. I use this in some the MOD_LOAD event handler for
some test kernel modules to ask the kernel linker to look up the linker
sets in my test modules. (I use linker sets to generate the list of
possible events that I then signal to execute via a sysctl. On non-amd64,
ld(8) would resolve the entire linker set, but on amd64 I have to ask the
kernel linker to do it for me, and having the kernel linker do it works on
all archs.)
in the shutdown_final state if the RB_NOSYNC flag is set.
The specific motivation in this case is that a system panic in an
interrupt context results in a call to module_shutdown(), which
calls g_modevent(), which calls g_malloc(..., M_WAITOK), which
results in a second panic. While g_modevent() could be fixed to
not call malloc() for MOD_SHUTDOWN events (which it doesn't handle
in any case), it is probably also a good idea to entirely skip the
execution of the module shutdown handlers after a panic.
This may be a MFC candidate for RELENG_5.
for unknown events.
A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".
Until now the function has just returned zero for any event, but
that is downright wrong for MOD_UNLOAD and not very useful for any
future events we add where it may be crucial to be able to tell
if the event was unhandled or successful.
Change the function to return as follows:
MOD_LOAD -> 0
MOD_UNLOAD -> EBUSY
anything else -> EOPNOTSUPP
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
so that entities that want to use the post_sync hook to write stuff
to devices and other tidy-up can do so before the device tree is
shot down. eg: da doing a SYNC_CACHE etc. This should get crashdumps
working on mpt devices again, and stops the ia64 boxes locking up
on regular shutdown when da tries to issue the scsi commands to mpt.

of accessing the SX lock. It is also the first step in helping to lock

version dependency system. This isn't quite finished, but it is at a
useful stage to do a functional checkpoint.
Highlights:
- version and dependency metadata is gathered via linker sets, so things
are handled the same for static kernels and code built to live in a kld.
- The dependencies are at module level (versus at file level).
- Dependencies determine kld symbol search order - this means that you
cannot link against symbols in another file unless you depend on it. This
is so that you cannot accidently unload the target out from underneath
the ones referencing it.
- It is flexible enough that we can put tags in #include files and macros
so that we can get decent hooks for enforcing recompiles on incompatable
ABI changes. eg: if we change struct proc, we could force a recompile
for all kld's that reference the proc struct.
- Tangled dependency references at boot time are sorted. Files are
relocated once all their dependencies are already relocated.
Caveats:
- Loader support is incomplete, but has been worked on seperately.
- Actual enforcement of the version number tags is not active yet - just
the module dependencies are live. The actual structure of versioning
hasn't been agreed on yet. (eg: major.minor, or whatever)
- There is some backwards compatability for old modules without metadata
but I'm not sure how good it is.
This is based on work originally done by Boris Popov (bp@freebsd.org),
but I'm not sure he'd recognize much of it now. Don't blame him. :-)

eliminate this indirection via that function (which does nothing now)
without duplicating a modevent handler into all the routines that don't
presently have one, supply a NOP (do nothing, return OK) routine which
is functionally equivalent to what's there now. This is a hack and is
still wrong, because there doesn't appear to be anything to reclaim
resources on an unload of a module with one of these in it. I'm not
sure whether to make the NOP handler refuse a MOD_UNLOAD event or what.

particularly annoying hack, namely having the linker bash the moduledata
to set the container pointer, preventing it being const. In the process,
a stack of warnings were fixed and will probably allow a revisit of the
const C_SYSINIT() changes. This explicitly registers modules in files or
preload areas with the module system first, and let them initialize via
SYSINIT/DECLARE_MODULE later in their SI_ORDER_xxx order. The kludge of
finding the containing file is no longer needed since the registration
of modules onto the modules list is done in the context of initializing
the linker file.
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
