Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
On FreeBSD fstat(2) works fine for querying sizes of plain files,
but not so much for character devices.
So, use DIOCGMEDIASIZE to try to get the correct size for disks
and disk-like devices (e.g. zvols).

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is
very unmaintainable.
Currently rescue/rescue and sys/modules are still not connected.

devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer
where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a
hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models.
devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar
to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed
by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is
usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem.
Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom).
The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of
devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

Previously the sizes were inferred indirectly based on the size of the mappings
at 0 and 4GB respectively. This works fine as long as size of the allocation is
identical to the size of the mapping in the guest's address space. However, if
the mapping is disjoint then this assumption falls apart (e.g., due to the
legacy BIOS hole between 640KB and 1MB).

- Similar to the hack for bootinfo32.c in userboot, define
_MACHINE_ELF_WANT_32BIT in the load_elf32 file handlers in userboot.
This allows userboot to load 32-bit kernels and modules.
- Copy the SMAP generation code out of bootinfo64.c and into its own
file so it can be shared with bootinfo32.c to pass an SMAP to the i386
kernel.
- Use uint32_t instead of u_long when aligning module metadata in
bootinfo32.c in userboot, as otherwise the metadata used 64-bit
alignment which corrupted the layout.
- Populate the basemem and extmem members of the bootinfo struct passed
to 32-bit kernels.
- Fix the 32-bit stack in userboot to start at the top of the stack
instead of the bottom so that there is room to grow before the
kernel switches to its own stack.
- Push a fake return address onto the 32-bit stack in addition to the
arguments normally passed to exec() in the loader. This return
address is needed to convince recover_bootinfo() in the 32-bit
locore code that it is being invoked from a "new" boot block.
- Add a routine to libvmmapi to setup a 32-bit flat mode register state
including a GDT and TSS that is able to start the i386 kernel and
update bhyveload to use it when booting an i386 kernel.
- Use the guest register state to determine the CPU's current instruction
mode (32-bit vs 64-bit) and paging mode (flat, 32-bit, PAE, or long
mode) in the instruction emulation code. Update the gla2gpa() routine
used when fetching instructions to handle flat mode, 32-bit paging, and
PAE paging in addition to long mode paging. Don't look for a REX
prefix when the CPU is in 32-bit mode, and use the detected mode to
enable the existing 32-bit mode code when decoding the mod r/m byte.

Make the amd64/pmap code aware of nested page table mappings used by bhyve
guests. This allows bhyve to associate each guest with its own vmspace and
deal with nested page faults in the context of that vmspace. This also
enables features like accessed/dirty bit tracking, swapping to disk and
transparent superpage promotions of guest memory.
Guest vmspace:
Each bhyve guest has a unique vmspace to represent the physical memory
allocated to the guest. Each memory segment allocated by the guest is
mapped into the guest's address space via the 'vmspace->vm_map' and is
backed by an object of type OBJT_DEFAULT.
pmap types:
The amd64/pmap now understands two types of pmaps: PT_X86 and PT_EPT.
The PT_X86 pmap type is used by the vmspace associated with the host kernel
as well as user processes executing on the host. The PT_EPT pmap is used by
the vmspace associated with a bhyve guest.
Page Table Entries:
The EPT page table entries as mostly similar in functionality to regular
page table entries although there are some differences in terms of what
bits are used to express that functionality. For e.g. the dirty bit is
represented by bit 9 in the nested PTE as opposed to bit 6 in the regular
x86 PTE. Therefore the bitmask representing the dirty bit is now computed
at runtime based on the type of the pmap. Thus PG_M that was previously a
macro now becomes a local variable that is initialized at runtime using
'pmap_modified_bit(pmap)'.
An additional wrinkle associated with EPT mappings is that older Intel
processors don't have hardware support for tracking accessed/dirty bits in
the PTE. This means that the amd64/pmap code needs to emulate these bits to
provide proper accounting to the VM subsystem. This is achieved by using
the following mapping for EPT entries that need emulation of A/D bits:
Bit Position Interpreted By
PG_V 52 software (accessed bit emulation handler)
PG_RW 53 software (dirty bit emulation handler)
PG_A 0 hardware (aka EPT_PG_RD)
PG_M 1 hardware (aka EPT_PG_WR)
The idea to use the mapping listed above for A/D bit emulation came from
Alan Cox (alc@).
The final difference with respect to x86 PTEs is that some EPT implementations
do not support superpage mappings. This is recorded in the 'pm_flags' field
of the pmap.
TLB invalidation:
The amd64/pmap code has a number of ways to do invalidation of mappings
that may be cached in the TLB: single page, multiple pages in a range or the
entire TLB. All of these funnel into a single EPT invalidation routine called
'pmap_invalidate_ept()'. This routine bumps up the EPT generation number and
sends an IPI to the host cpus that are executing the guest's vcpus. On a
subsequent entry into the guest it will detect that the EPT has changed and
invalidate the mappings from the TLB.
Guest memory access:
Since the guest memory is no longer wired we need to hold the host physical
page that backs the guest physical page before we can access it. The helper
functions 'vm_gpa_hold()/vm_gpa_release()' are available for this purpose.
PCI passthru:
Guest's with PCI passthru devices will wire the entire guest physical address
space. The MMIO BAR associated with the passthru device is backed by a
vm_object of type OBJT_SG. An IOMMU domain is created only for guest's that
have one or more PCI passthru devices attached to them.
Limitations:
There isn't a way to map a guest physical page without execute permissions.
This is because the amd64/pmap code interprets the guest physical mappings as
user mappings since they are numerically below VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS. Since PG_U
shares the same bit position as EPT_PG_EXECUTE all guest mappings become
automatically executable.
Thanks to Alan Cox and Konstantin Belousov for their rigorous code reviews
as well as their support and encouragement.
Thanks for John Baldwin for reviewing the use of OBJT_SG as the backing
object for pci passthru mmio regions.
Special thanks to Peter Holm for testing the patch on short notice.

command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.
Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).
The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.
The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.
