These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

install or remove non-SCI interrupt handlers per ACPI Component Architecture
User Guide and Programmer Reference. ACPICA may install such interrupt
handler when a GPE block device is found, for example. Add a wrapper for
ACPI_OSD_HANDLER, convert its return values to ours, and make it a filter.
Prefer KASSERT(9) over panic(9) as we have never seen those in reality.
Clean up some style(9) nits and add my copyright.
AcpiOsMapMemory()/AcpiOsUnmapMemory() (-> pmap_mapbios()/pmap_unmapbios())
for AcpiOsReadMemory() and AcpiOsWriteMemory(). Although they do not sound
too obvious, these functions are exclusively used to access memory mapped
IO in ACPICA.
According to ACPICA User Guide and Programmer Reference, the read data must
be zero extended to fill the 64-bit return value even if the bit width of
the location is less than 64.
- Return error when 64-bit access is requested as we do not support 64-bit
PCI register access (yet). XXX We may have to split it up into two 32-bit
accesses if it is really required.
According to ACPICA User Guide and Programmer Reference, the read data must
be zero extended to fill the 32-bit return value even if the bit width of

- Remove 64-bit read/write from AcpiOsReadMemory() and AcpiOsWriteMemory().
These functions do not support 64-bit access (yet). Clean up style nits
and unnecessary bit masking while I am here.

- Preallocate some memory for ACPI tasks early enough. We cannot use
malloc(9) any more because spin mutex may be held here. The reserved
memory can be tuned via debug.acpi.max_tasks tunable or ACPI_MAX_TASKS
in kernel configuration. The default is 32 tasks.
- Implement a custom taskqueue_fast to wrap the new memory allocation.
This implementation is not the fastest in the world but we are being
conservative here.
use process ID as ACPI thread ID. Concurrent requests with equal thread
IDs broke ACPI mutexes operation causing unpredictable errors including
AE_AML_MUTEX_NOT_ACQUIRED that I have seen.
Use kernel thread ID instead of process ID for ACPI thread.
zone code. The GPE handler method (i.e. _L00) generates various Notify
events that need to be run to completion before the GPE is re-enabled.
In ACPI-CA, we queue an asynch callback at the same priority as a Notify
so that it will only run after all Notify handlers have completed. The
callback re-enables the GPE afterwards. We also changed the priority of
Notifies to be the same as GPEs, given the possibility that another GPE
could arrive before the Notifies have completed and we don't want it to
get queued ahead of the rest.
The ACPI-CA change was submitted by Alexey Starikovskiy (SUSE) and will
appear in a later release. Special thanks to him for helping track this
bug down.
