This will be followed up by attilio@ with a conversion to the new struct

only constraint that they have a lock cookie named mtx_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use the
mtx(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for their
members.
Namely such structs are the current struct mtx and the new
struct mtx_padalign. The new structure will define an object which is
the same as the same layout of a struct mtx but will be allocated in
areas aligned to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.
This is supposed to give higher performance for highly contented mutexes
both spin or sleep (because of the adaptive spinning), where the cache
line contention results in too much traffic on the system bus.
The struct mtx_padalign can be used in a completely transparent way
with the mtx(9) KPI.
At the moment, a possibility to MFC the patch should be carefully
evaluated because this patch breaks the low level KPI
(not its representation though).

In the old TTY layer, SIGTTIN was correctly handled like this:
while (data should be read) {
send SIGTTIN if not foreground process group
read data
}
In the new TTY layer, however, this behaviour was changed, based on a
false interpretation of the standard:
send SIGTTIN if not foreground process group
while (data should be read) {
read data
}
Correct this by pushing tty_wait_background() into the ttydisc_read_*()
functions.

A default install on large memory machines with multiple 10gigE interfaces
were not being given enough mbufs to do full bandwidth TCP or NFS traffic.
To keep the value somewhat reasonable, we scale back the number of
maxuers by 1/6 past the 384 point. This gives us enough mbufs for most
of our pretty basic 10gigE line-speed tests to complete.
This enables CPU searches (which read tdq_load) to operate independently
of any contention on the spinlock. Some scheduler-intensive workloads
running on an 8C single-socket SNB Xeon show considerable improvement with
this change (2-3% perf improvement, 5-6% decrease in CPU util).

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.

I have to note that POSIX is simply stupid in how it describes O_EXEC/fexecve
and friends. Yes, not only inconsistent, but stupid.
In the open(2) description, O_RDONLY flag is described as:
O_RDONLY Open for reading only.
Taken from:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/open.html
Note "for reading only". Not "for reading or executing"!
In the fexecve(2) description you can find:
The fexecve() function shall fail if:
[EBADF]
The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor open for executing.
Taken from:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/exec.html
As you can see the function shall fail if the file was not open with O_EXEC!
And yet, if you look closer you can find this mess in the exec.html:
Since execute permission is checked by fexecve(), the file description
fd need not have been opened with the O_EXEC flag.
Yes, O_EXEC flag doesn't have to be specified after all. You can open a file
with O_RDONLY and you still be able to fexecve(2) it.
global variables are placed. When a module is loaded by link_elf
linker its variables from "set_vnet" linker set are copied to the
kernel "set_vnet" ("modspace") and all references to these variables
inside the module are relocated accordingly.
The issue is when a module is loaded that has references to global
variables from another, previously loaded module: these references are
not relocated so an invalid address is used when the module tries to
access the variable. The example is V_layer3_chain, defined in ipfw
module and accessed from ipfw_nat.
The same issue is with DPCPU variables, which use "set_pcpu" linker
set.
Fix this making the link_elf linker on a module load recognize
"external" DPCPU/VNET variables defined in the previously loaded
modules and relocate them accordingly. For this set_pcpu_list and
set_vnet_list are used, where the addresses of modules' "set_pcpu" and
"set_vnet" linker sets are stored.
Note, archs that use link_elf_obj (amd64) were not affected by this
issue.
