response to an rtprio_thread() call, when the priority is different
than the old priority, and either the old or the new priority class is
not RTP_PRIO_NORMAL (timeshare).
The reasoning for the second half of the test is that if it's a change in
timeshare priority, then the scheduler is going to adjust that priority
in a way that completely wipes out the requested change anyway, so
what's the point? (If that's not true, then allowing a thread to change
its own timeshare priority would subvert the scheduler's adjustments and
let a cpu-bound thread monopolize the cpu; if allowed at all, that
should require priveleges.)
On the other hand, if either the old or new priority class is not
timeshare, then the scheduler doesn't make automatic adjustments, so we
should honor the request and make the priority change right away. The
reason the old class gets caught up in this is the very reason for this
change: when thread A changes the priority of its child thread B from
idle back to timeshare, thread B never actually gets moved to a
timeshare-range run queue unless there are some idle cycles available
to allow it to first get scheduled again as an idle thread.

using callout_reset_sbt() instead of callout_reset(). We can't remove
lower limit completely in this case because of significant processing
overhead, caused by unability to use direct callout execution due to using
process mutex in callout handler for sending SEGALRM signal. With support
of periodic events that would allow unprivileged user to abuse the system.

without the virtio module. Remove pci and scbus for the same reason.
Also explain the relationship and necessity of the virtio and virtio_pci
modules. Currently in FreeBSD, we only support VirtIO PCI, but it could
be replaced with a different interface (like MMIO) and the device
(network, block, etc) will still function.

Without this, read data is mis-interpreted. This could trigger a panic,

ordered BIO must complete before subsequent BIOs can start.

Fixes:
- flow control - don't override user value on re-init
- fix to make 1G optics work correctly
- change to interrupt enabling - some bits were incorrect
for certain hardware.
- certain stats fixes, remove a duplicate increment of
ierror, thanks to Scott Long for pointing these out.
- shared code link interface changed, requiring some
core code changes to accomodate this.
- add an m_adj() to ETHER_ALIGN on the recieve side, this

- Multicast code corrections also thanks to Mike Karels.

In fasttrap_probe_pid(), attempts to write to the
address space of the thread that fired the probe
must be performed with the process of the thread
held. Use _PHOLD() to ensure this is the case.
In fasttrap_probe_pid(), use proc_write_regs() instead
of calling set_regs() directly. proc_write_regs()
performs invariant checks to verify the calling
environment of set_regs(). PROC_LOCK()/UNLOCK() around
the call to proc_write_regs() so that it's invariants

This will allow GENERIC configurations to boot on small memory boxes, but
not require end users who want to use CTL to recompile their kernel. They
can simply set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 in loader.conf.
The eventual solution to the memory usage problem is to change the way
CTL allocates memory to be more configurable, but this should fix things
for small memory situations in the mean time.
UPDATING: Explain the change in the CTL configuration, and
how users can enable CTL if they would like to use
it.
sys/conf/options: Add a new option, CTL_DISABLE, that prevents CTL
from initializing.
ctl.c: If CTL_DISABLE is turned on, don't initialize.

amd64/conf/GENERIC: Re-enable device ctl, and add the CTL_DISABLE
option.

nanosleep() and usleep() can handle sub-tick precision for timeouts.
Also, try to help coalesce of events passing as argument to tsleep_bt()

This percentage is default 5%, but it can tuned according to users

Make loadavg calculation callout direct. There are several reasons for it:
- it is very simple and doesn't worth context switch to SWI;
- since SWI is no longer used here, we can remove twelve years old hack,
excluding this SWI from from the loadavg statistics;
- it fixes problem when eventtimer (HPET) shares interrupt with some other
device, and that interrupt thread counted as permanent loadavg of 1; now
loadavg accounted before that interrupt thread is scheduled.

precise time event generation. This greatly improves granularity of
callouts which are not anymore constrained to wait next tick to be
scheduled.
- Extend the callout KPI introducing a set of callout_reset_sbt* functions,
which take a sbintime_t as timeout argument. The new KPI also offers a
way for consumers to specify precision tolerance they allow, so that
callout can coalesce events and reduce number of interrupts as well as
potentially avoid scheduling a SWI thread.
- Introduce support for dispatching callouts directly from hardware
interrupt context, specifying an additional flag. This feature should be
used carefully, as long as interrupt context has some limitations
(e.g. no sleeping locks can be held).
- Enhance mechanisms to gather informations about callwheel, introducing
a new sysctl to obtain stats.
This change breaks the KBI. struct callout fields has been changed, in
particular 'int ticks' (4 bytes) has been replaced with 'sbintime_t'
(8 bytes) and another 'sbintime_t' field was added for precision.

pointers to the file structure receiving descriptors stopped to work when also
at least few kilobytes of data is being send. In the kernel the
soreceive_generic() function doesn't see control mbuf as the first mbuf and
unp_externalize() is never called, first 6(?) kilobytes of data is missing as
well on receiving end.
This breaks for example tmux.
I don't know yet why going from 8 bytes to sizeof(struct filedescent) per
descriptor (or even to 16 bytes per descriptor) breaks things, but to
work-around it for now use 8 bytes per file descriptor at the cost of memory
allocation.
