It's still relatively uncommon to see C11 '<threads.h>' being used,
but it's worth documenting, especially since FreeBSD requires a
different library for C11 threads compared to glibc (part of '-lpthread')
or musl libc (included by default).

When the node to insert in the rb_tree is known to precede or follow a
particular node, new methods RB_INSERT_PREV and RB_INSERT_NEXT,
defined here, allow the search for where to insert the new node begin
with that particular node, rather than at the root, to save a bit of
time.
Using those methods, instead of RB_INSERT, in managing a tree in
iommu_gas.c, saves a little time.

RB-tree augmentation maintains data in each node of the tree that
represents the product of some associative operator applied to all the
nodes of the subtree rooted at that node. If a node in the tree
changes, augmentation data for the node is updated for that node and
all nodes on the path from that node to the tree root. However,
sometimes, augmenting a node changes no data in that node,
particularly if the associated operation is something involving 'max'
or 'min'. If augmentation changes nothing in a node, then the work of
walking to the tree root from that point is pointless, because
augmentation will change nothing in those nodes either. This change
makes it possible to avoid that wasted work.
Define RB_AUGMENT_CHECK as a macro much like RB_AUGMENT, but which
returns a value 'true' when augmentation changes the augmentation data
of a node, and false otherwise. Change code that unconditionally walks
and augments to the top of tree to code that stops once an
augmentation has no effect. In the case of rebalancing the tree after
insertion or deletion, where previously a node rotated into the path
was inevitably augmented on the march to the tree root, now check to
see if it needs augmentation because the march to the tree root
stopped before reaching it.
Change the augmentation function in iommu_gas.c so that it returns
true/false to indicate whether the augmentation had any effect.

Linux has more tolerant checks of the user supplied cpuset_t's.

vm_reserv.c uses its own bitstring implemenation for popmaps. Using
the bitstring_t type from a standard header eliminates the code
duplication, allows some bit-at-a-time operations to be replaced with
more efficient bitstring range operations, and, in
vm_reserv_test_contig, allows bit_ffc_area_at to more efficiently
search for a big-enough set of consecutive zero-bits.
Make bitstring changes improve the vm_reserv code. Define a bit_ntest
method to test whether a range of bits is all set, or all clear.
Define bit_ff_at and bit_ff_area_at to implement the ffs and ffc
versions with a parameter to choose between set- and clear- bits.

This is also a slight departure from the x86 behaviour, since `si_addr`
returns the data address that triggered the watchpoint, not the
address of the instruction that was executed. Otherwise, there is no
straightforward way for the application to determine which watchpoint
was triggered. Make a note of this in the siginfo(3) man page.

Additionally, in the five plus years that it's been broken more reverse

others) that make it more and more difficult to reconcile the effort needed
to fix these options.

SIGBUS. In particular, while SIGSEGV generally sets si_addr to the

SIGBUS signals set si_addr to the PC and other SIGBUS signals set
si_addr to the faulting address depending on the specific hardware

AVL trees, red-black trees, and others. Weak AVL (wavl) trees are a
recently discovered member of that class. This change replaces
red-black rebalancing with weak AVL rebalancing in the RB tree macros.
Wavl trees sit between AVL and red-black trees in terms of how
strictly balance is enforced. They have the stricter balance of AVL
trees as the tree is built - a wavl tree is an AVL tree until the
first deletion. Once removals start, wavl trees are lazier about
rebalancing than AVL trees, so that removals can be fast, but the
balance of the tree can decay to that of a red-black tree. Subsequent
insertions can push balance back toward the stricter AVL conditions.
Removing a node from a wavl tree never requires more than two
rotations, which is better than either red-black or AVL
trees. Inserting a node into a wavl tree never requires more than two
rotations, which matches red-black and AVL trees. The only
disadvantage of wavl trees to red-black trees is that more insertions
are likely to adjust the tree a bit. That's the cost of keeping the
tree more balanced.
Testing has shown that for the cases where red-black trees do worst,
wavl trees better balance leads to faster lookups, so that if lookups
outnumber insertions by a nontrivial amount, lookup time saved exceeds
the extra cost of balancing.

This provides a framework to define a template describing
a set of "variables of interest" and the intended way for
the framework to maintain them (for example the maximum, sum,
t-digest, or a combination thereof). Afterwards the user
code feeds in the raw data, and the framework maintains
these variables inside a user-provided, opaque stats blobs.
The framework also provides a way to selectively extract the
stats from the blobs. The stats(3) framework can be used in
both userspace and the kernel.
See the stats(3) manual page for details.
This will be used by the upcoming TCP statistics gathering code,
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20655.
The stats(3) framework is disabled by default for now, except
in the NOTES kernel (for QA); it is expected to be enabled
in amd64 GENERIC after a cool down period.
