All of the kernel dump implementations keep track of the current offset
("dumplo") within the dump device. However, except for textdumps, they
all write the dump sequentially, so we can reduce code duplication by
having the MI code keep track of the current offset. The new
dump_append() API can be used to write at the current offset.
This is needed to implement support for kernel dump compression in the
MI kernel dump code.
Also simplify dump_encrypted_write() somewhat: use dump_write() instead
of duplicating its bounds checks, and get rid of the redundant offset
tracking.

For processing, reclaim_pv_chunk() removes the pv_chunk from the lru
list, which makes pc_lru linkage invalid. Then the pmap lock is
released, which allows for other thread to free the last pv entry
allocated from the chunk and call free_pv_chunk(), which tries to
modify the invalid linkage.
Similarly, the chunk is inserted into the private tailq new_tail
temporary. Again, free_pv_chunk() might be run and corrupt the
linkage for the new_tail after the pmap lock is dropped.
This is a consequence of r299788 elimination of pvh_global_lock, which
allowed for reclaim to run in parallel with other pmap calls which
free pv chunks.
As a fix, do not remove the chunk from pc_lru queue, use a marker to
remember the position in the queue iteration. We can safely operate
on the chunks after the chunk's pmap is locked, we fetched the chunk
after the marker, and we checked that chunk pmap is same as we have
locked, because chunk removal from pc_lru requires both pv_chunk_mutex
and the pmap mutex owned.
Note that the fix lost an optimization which was present in the
previous algorithm. Namely, new_tail requeueing rotated the pv chunks
list so that reclaim didn't scan the same pv chunks that couldn't be
freed (because they contained a wired and/or superpage mapping) on
every invocation. An additional change is planned which would improve
this.

If the i386_set_ldt() call created a first LDT descriptor (and
consequently created the LDT) for our address space, LDTR is currently

cpu_switch.S uses curproc->p_md.md_ldt value as the flag indicating
presence of the process LDT. The flag is checked and then ldt segment
descriptor is copied into the CPU' GDT slot.
Disallow context switches around clearing of the curproc LDT state by
performing the cleanup in critical section. Ensure that the md_ldt
flag is cleared before md_ldt_sd descriptor content is destroyed by
inserting fence between the operations.
We depend on the x86 memory model strong ordering guarantees, in

Compilers are allowed to combine plain reads into group operations,

legitimately optimized back to a memcpy() call, which r323772 tried to
prevent.
Qualify accesses to LDT descriptors with volatile dereference to
ensure that each write indeed occurs. After that, our usual claim of
native-size aligned writes being atomic applies.
This is equivalent to atomic_store(memory_order_relaxed) C11 accesses,

the second with predictable complications on hot-plug and reboot events).
I tested it with PEX 8717 and PEX 8733 chips, but expect it should work
with many other compatible ones too. It supports up to two NT bridges
per chip, each of which can have up to 2 64-bit or 4 32-bit memory windows,
6 or 12 scratchpad registers and 16 doorbells. There are also 4 DMA engines
in those chips, but they are not yet supported.
While there, rename Intel NTB driver from generic ntb_hw(4) to more specific

The actual cache line size has always been 64 bytes.
The 128 number arose as an optimization for Core 2 era Intel processors. By
default (configurable in BIOS), these CPUs would prefetch adjacent cache
lines unintelligently. Newer CPUs prefetch more intelligently.
The latest Core 2 era CPU was introduced in September 2008 (Xeon 7400
series, "Dunnington"). If you are still using one of these CPUs, especially
in a multi-socket configuration, consider locating the "adjacent cache line
prefetch" option in BIOS and disabling it.

Right now, we enable the CR4.FSGSBASE bit on CPUs which support the
facility (Ivy and later), to allow usermode to read fs and gs bases
without syscalls. This bit also controls the write access to bases
from userspace, but WRFSBASE and WRGSBASE instructions currently
cannot be used, because return path from both exceptions or interrupts
overrides bases with the values from pcb.
Supporting the instructions is useful because this means that usermode
can implement green-threads completely in userspace without issuing
syscalls to change all of the machine context.
Support is implemented by saving the fs base and user gs base when
PCB_FULL_IRET flag is set. The flag is set on the context switch,
which potentially causes clobber of the bases due to activation of
another context, and when explicit modification of the user context by
a syscall or exception handler is performed. In particular, the patch
moves setting of the flag before syscalls change context.
The changes to doreti_exit and PUSH_FRAME to clear PCB_FULL_IRET on
entry from userspace can be considered a bug fixes on its own.

The goal is to minimize preemption. By placing interrupt sources on distinct
CPUs, ithreads get preferentially scheduled on distinct CPUs. Overall
preemption is reduced and latency is reduced. In our workflow it reduced

was proven by, e.g., SPEC2008.
