where MB/s and tps statistics would always be zero, presumably because
they were being averaged out over the time between now and when the
system booted instead of a few seconds.

Kernel:
Change statistics to use the *uptime() timescale (ie: relative to
boottime) rather than the UTC aligned timescale. This makes the
device statistics code oblivious to clock steps.
Change timestamps to bintime format, they are cheaper.
Remove the "busy_count", and replace it with two counter fields:
"start_count" and "end_count", which are updated in the down and
up paths respectively. This removes the locking constraint on
devstat.
Add a timestamp argument to devstat_start_transaction(), this will
normally be a timestamp set by the *_bio() function in bp->bio_t0.
Use this field to calculate duration of I/O operations.
Add two timestamp arguments to devstat_end_transaction(), one is
the current time, a NULL pointer means "take timestamp yourself",
the other is the timestamp of when this transaction started (see
above).
Change calculation of busy_time to operate on "the salami principle":
Only when we are idle, which we can determine by the start+end
counts being identical, do we update the "busy_from" field in the
down path. In the up path we accumulate the timeslice in busy_time
and update busy_from.
Change the byte_* and num_* fields into two arrays: bytes[] and
operations[].
Userland:
Change the misleading "busy_time" name to be called "snap_time" and
make the time long double since that is what most users need anyway,
fill it using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) to put it on the same
timescale as the kernel fields.
Change devstat_compute_etime() to operate on struct bintime.
Remove the version 2 legacy interface: the change to bintime makes
compatibility far too expensive.
Fix a bug in systat's "vm" page where boot relative busy times would
be bogus.

ifstat Display the network traffic going through active interfaces
on the system. Idle interfaces will not be displayed until
they receive some traffic.
For each interface being displayed, the current, peak and
total statistics are displayed for incoming and outgoing
traffic. By default, the ifstat display will automatically
scale the units being used so that they are in a human-read-
able format. The scaling units used for the current and peak
traffic columns can be altered by the scale command.

Also, as long as I'm plowing up struct sockbuf ... Change certain
members from u_long/long to u_int/int in order to reduce wasted
space on 64-bit machines. This change was requested by Andrew
Gallatin.
Netstat and systat need to be rebuilt. I am incrementing

when I changed the allocator bits. This implements per-CPU mbtypes
stats by keeping net number of decrements/increments of a given mbtype
per-CPU and then summing all of the per-CPU mbtypes to produce the total
net number of allocated mbufs of the given mbtype.
Counters are carefully balanced to avoid/prevent underflows/overflows.
mbtypes stats are re-enabled with the idea that we may occasionally
(although very rarely) observe slight inconsistencies in the stat
reporting. Most of the time, we should be fine, though.
Also make appropriate modifications to netstat(1) and systat(1) to do
the necessary reporting.

were indices in a dense array. The cpuids are a sparse set and treat
them as such, setting up containers only for CPUs activated during
mb_init().
- Fix netstat(1) and systat(1) to treat the per-CPU stats area as a sparse
map, in accordance with the above.
This allows us to properly boot with certain CPUs disactivated. However, if
we later decide to re-activate said CPUs, we will barf until we decide to
implement CPU spinon/spinoff callback hooks to allow for said CPUs' per-CPU
containers to get configured on their activation.

Partially (sys/ diffs) Submitted by: mjacob
introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one
which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource
reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages:
o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks.
o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools.
o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros.
o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able
to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer
needed by the network stacks.
Additional things changed with this addition:
- Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from
sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong.
- m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really
confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new
name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old
name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was
merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster."
- TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and
systat(1) (see TODO below).
- Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU
stat structures.
- Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported
per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl.
TODO (in order of priority):
- Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after
introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the
already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it
seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are
already present).
- Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also
"total free mbufs per CPU pool."
- Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently
re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file.
- Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion
of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter.
- Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.
