U-Boot env vars plus a freebsd-specific variable named "rootpath" (the
corresponding u-boot variable for that would be "bootfile" except that it

This allows ubldr to load a kernel from nfs without requiring a dhcp or

The code which splits a serverip:/rootpath string into rootip and a plain
pathname is now a separate net_parse_rootpath() function that can be
called by others. The code that sets the kernel env vars needed for
nfs_diskless is moved into net_open() so that the variables get set no
matter where the params came from.
There was already code in net_open() that allowed for the possibility that
some other entity has set up the network-related global variables. It uses
the rootip variable as the key, assuming that if it is set all the other
required variables are set too. These changes don't alter the existing
behavior, they just make it easier to actually write some new code to get
the params from another source (such as the U-Boot environment).

If TxQ lock is obtained, deferred packet list shold be serviced even if
the packet addition fails because of overflow.
Without the patch freeze happens if:
- queue is not blocked (i.e. completion does not trigger unblock and service)
- put-list overflow (1024 entries)
- sfxge_tx_packet_add() acquires TxQ lock just as it is released it in
sfxge_tx_qdpl_service() on the second CPU but before pending check
- sfxge_tx_packet_add() swizzles put-list to get-list, fails because of

- sfxge_tx_qdpl_service() on the second CPU checks that there are no

is less than maximum length of any get-list.

Previously, ubldr would use the virtual addresses in the elf headers by
masking off the high bits and assuming the result was a physical address
where the kernel should be loaded. That would sometimes discard
significant bits of the physical address, but the effects of that were
undone by archsw copy code that would find a large block of memory and
apply an offset to the source/dest copy addresses. The result was that
things were loaded at a different physical address than requested by the
higher code layers, but that worked because other adjustments were applied
later (such as when jumping to the entry point). Very confusing, and
somewhat fragile.
Now the archsw copy routines are just simple copies, and instead
archsw.arch_loadaddr is implemented to choose a load address. The new
routine uses some of the code from the old offset-translation routine to
find the largest block of ram, but it excludes ubldr itself from that
range, and also excludes If ubldr splits the largest block of ram in
two, the kernel is loaded into the bottom of whichever resulting block is
larger.
As part of eliminating ubldr itself from the ram ranges, export the heap
start/end addresses in a pair of new global variables.
This change means that the virtual addresses in the arm kernel elf headers
now have no meaning at all, except for the entry point address. There is
an implicit assumption that the entry point is in the first text page, and
that the address in the the header can be turned into an offset by masking
it with PAGE_MASK. In the future we can link all arm kernels at a virtual
address of 0xC0000000 with no need to use any low-order part of the
address to influence where in ram the kernel gets loaded.
1. Align to a 64-bit address so 64-bit data will be correctly aligned.
2. Add a comment explaining why.
3. Remove an unneeded value from the struct.
This fixes an issue where the struct may not be correctly aligned on the
stack in the syscall function. This may lead to accesing a 64-bit value
at a non 64-bit. This will raise an exception and panic the kernel.
We have been lucky where on arm and armv6 both clang and gcc correctly
align the data, even without us asking to, however, on armeb with clang to
not be the case. This tells the compiler we really do need this to be
aligned.

In general it is bad practice to use the gnu_inline attribute but we
will need it in special cases like FORTIFY_SOURCE. In this specific
case it is also useful to have the "artificial" attribute:
"This attribute is useful for small inline wrappers which if possible
should appear during debugging as a unit, depending on the debug info
format it will either mean marking the function as artificial or using the
caller location for all instructions within the inlined body."
This attribute appears to be currently implemented only in GCC. Use it
only in conjuntion with gnu_inline in the cases where it is available,
which is similar in spirit in how it's used in glibc.

resource leak, reset the allocator state when the last ref to that
allocator is released.
Note that this only recovers leaked resources for an allocator when
there are no longer any users of that allocator, so there remain
circumstances in which leaked allocator resources may not ever be
recovered - consider a set of multiple netmap processes that are all
using the same allocator (say, the global allocator) where members of
that set may be killed and restarted over time but at any given point
there is one member of that set running.

thread awakened due to a time out, then cv_waiters was not decremented.
If INT_MAX threads timed out on a cv without an intervening cv_broadcast,
then cv_waiters could overflow. To fix this, have each sleeping thread
decrement cv_waiters when it resumes.
Note that previously cv_waiters was protected by the sleepq chain lock.
However, that lock is not held when threads resume from sleep. In
addition, the interlock is also not always reacquired after resuming
(cv_wait_unlock), nor is it always held by callers of cv_signal() or
cv_broadcast(). Instead, use atomic ops to update cv_waiters. Since
the sleepq chain lock is still held on every increment, it should
still be safe to compare cv_waiters against zero while holding the
lock in the wakeup routines as the only way the race should be lost
would result in extra calls to sleepq_signal() or sleepq_broadcast().
