be in ticks "for algorithm stability" when originally committed, it turns
out that it has a significant impact in timing out connections. When we
changed HZ from 100 to 1000, this had a big effect on reducing the time
before dropping connections.
To demonstrate, boot with kern.hz=100. ssh to a box on local ethernet
and establish a reliable round-trip-time (ie: type a few commands).
Then unplug the ethernet and press a key. Time how long it takes to
drop the connection.
The old behavior (with hz=100) caused the connection to typically drop
between 90 and 110 seconds of getting no response.
Now boot with kern.hz=1000 (default). The same test causes the ssh session
to drop after just 9-10 seconds. This is a big deal on a wifi connection.
With kern.hz=1000, change sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min from 3 to 30.
Note how it behaves the same as when HZ was 100. Also, note that when
booting with hz=100, net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min *used* to be 30.
This commit changes TCPTV_MIN to be scaled with hz. rexmit_min should
always be about 30. If you set hz to Really Slow(TM), there is a safety
feature to prevent a value of 0 being used.
This may be revised in the future, but for the time being, it restores the
old, pre-hz=1000 behavior, which is significantly less annoying.
As a workaround, to avoid rebooting or rebuilding a kernel, you can run
"sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30" and add "net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30"
to /etc/sysctl.conf. This is safe to run from 6.0 onwards.

packaging for the AT91RM9200 (like the KN9202 boards have), you will get
the following message

due to a hardware erratum. It is safe to ignore as it is about pins that
aren't brought out on the FQPA package and aren't proeprly terminated either.
Alas, there's no register to read to tell the FQPA from the BGA versions.

Fix backward compatibility of the "old" (i.e. FreeBSD6) lseek
syscall. It was broken when a new lseek syscall was introduced.
The problem is that we need to swap the 32-bit td_retval values
for the __syscall indirect syscall when the actual syscall has
a 32-bit return value. Hence, we need to exclude lseek(2). And
this means the "old" lseek(2) as well -- which we didn't.

(INTR_FILTER). This includes:
o Save a pointer to the sapic structure and IRQ for every vector,
so that we can quickly EOI, mask and unmask the interrupt.
o Add locking to the sapic code now that we can reprogram a
sapic on multiple CPUs at the same time.
o Use u_int for the vector and IRQ. We only have 256 vectors, so
using a 64-bit type for it is rather excessive.
o Properly handle concurrent registration of a handler for the
same vector.
Since vectors have a corresponding priority, we should not map
IRQs to vectors in a linear fashion, but rather pick a vector
that has a priority in line with the interrupt type. This is left
for later. The vector/IRQ interchange has been untangled as much
as possible to make this easier.

the fast or safe/slow method is in use. Fast remains at 1000, slow is
now at 850 (always preferred to TSC). Since the HPET has proven slower
than ACPI-fast on some systems, drop its quality to 900. In the future,
it is hoped that HPET performance will improve as it is the main
timer Intel supports. HPET may move back to 2000 in -current once RELENG_7
is branched to ensure that it gets tested.

containing 64-bit arguments would have explicit padding.
On 64-bit platforms there was no padding, so the dummy
argument was not covering anything. On 32-bit platforms
with weak alignment (i.e. i386) the 64-bit argument did
not need to be aligned, so there too an aditional argument
was introduced. On 32-bit platforms with strong alignment
(i.e. PowerPC) the dummy argument in fact cover the padding.
By elimininating the dummy argument, 64-bit platforms now
have 1 argument less. This also applies to 32-bit platforms
with weak alignment. On PowerPC this doesn't matter, because
the padding is still there. We just don't "name" it.
Deal with those 3 cases.

sys.net.inet.tcp.log_debug = 1
It defaults to enabled for the moment and is to be turned off for
the next release like other diagnostics from development branches.
It is important to note that sysctl sys.net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain
uses the same logging function as log_debug. Enabling of the former
also causes the latter to engage, but not vice versa.
Use consistent terminology in tcp log messages:
"ignored" means a segment contains invalid flags/information and
is dropped without changing state or issuing a reply.
"rejected" means a segments contains invalid flags/information but
is causing a reply (usually RST) and may cause a state change.
