critical section.
uma_zalloc_arg()/uma_zalloc_free() may acquire a sleepable lock on the
zone. The malloc() family of functions may call uma_zalloc_arg() or
uma_zalloc_free().
The malloc(9) man page currently claims that free() will never sleep.
It also implies that the malloc() family of functions will not sleep
when called with M_NOWAIT. However, it is more correct to say that
these functions will not sleep indefinitely. Indeed, they may acquire
a sleepable lock. However, a developer may overlook this restriction
because the WITNESS check that catches attempts to call the malloc()
family of functions within a critical section is inconsistenly
applied.
This change clarifies the language of the malloc(9) man page to clarify
the restriction against calling the malloc() family of functions
while in a critical section or holding a spin lock. It also adds
KASSERTs at appropriate points to make the enforcement of this
restriction more consistent.

This is useful in environments where system configuration is performed by
automated interaction with the system console, since unexpected witness
output makes such automation difficult. With this change, the new
debug.witness.output_channel sysctl allows one to specify that witness

Add S8, S16, S32, and U32 types; add SYSCTL*() macros for them, as well
as for the existing 64-bit types. (While SYSCTL*QUAD and UQUAD macros
already exist, they do not take the same sort of 'val' parameter that
the other macros do.)
Clean up the documented "types" in the sysctl.9 document. (These are
macros and thus not real types, but the manual page documents intent.)
The sysctl_add_oid(9) arg2 has been bumped from intptr_t to intmax_t to
accommodate 64-bit types on 32-bit pointer architectures.
This is just the kernel support piece; the userspace sysctl(1) support
will follow in a later patch.

Certain invalid operations trigger hardware error conditions. Error
conditions that only halt one channel can be detected and recovered by
resetting the channel. Error conditions that halt the whole device are
generally not recoverable.
Add a sysctl to inject channel-fatal HW errors,
'dev.ioat.<N>.force_hw_error=1'.
When a halt due to a channel error is detected, ioat(4) blocks new
operations from being queued on the channel, completes any outstanding
operations with an error status, and resets the channel before allowing
new operations to be queued again.
Update ioat.4 to document error recovery; document blockfill introduced
in r290021 while we are here; document ioat_put_dmaengine() added in
r289907; document DMA_NO_WAIT added in r289982.

It turns out that it is pretty easy to make CloudABI work on ARM64. We
essentially only need to copy over the sysvec from AMD64 and ensure that
we use ARM64 specific registers.
As there is an overlap between function argument and return registers,
we do need to extend cloudabi64_schedtail() to only set its values if
we're actually forking. Not when we're creating a new thread.

Now it can be used to effectively "build in a subdir". It will use the
'cross-tools', 'libraries', and 'includes' phases of 'buildworld' to properly
setup a WORLDTMP to use. Then it will build 'everything' only in the
listed SUBDIR_OVERRIDE directories. It is still required to list custom
library directories in LOCAL_LIB_DIRS if SUBDIR_OVERRIDE is something
that contains libraries outside of the normal area (such as
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=contrib/ofed needing LOCAL_LIB_DIRS=contrib/ofed/usr.lib)
Without these changes, SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with buildworld was broken or hit
obscure failures due to missing libraries, includes, or cross compiler.
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with 'make <target that is not buildworld>' will continue to
work as it did before although its usefulness is questionable.
With a fully populated WORLDTMP, building with a SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with
-DNO_CLEAN only takes a few minutes to start building the target
directories. This is still much better than building unneeded things via
'everything' when testing small subset changes. A BUILDFAST or
SKIPWORLDTMP might make sense for this as well.
- Add in '_worldtmp' as we still need to create WORLDTMP as later targets,
such as '_libraries' and '_includes' use it. This probably was avoiding
calling '_worldtmp' to not remove WORLDTMP for debugging purposes, but
-DNO_CLEAN can be used for that.
- '_legacy' must be included since '_build-tools' uses -legacy.
The SUBDIR_OVERRIDE change came in r95509, while -legacy being part
of build-tools came in r113136.
- 'bootstrap-tools' is still skipped as this feature is not for
upgrades.
- Fix buildworld combined with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE not installing all includes.
The original change for SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in r95509 kept '_includes'
and '_libraries' as building everything possible as the SUBDIR_OVERRIDE
could need anything from them. However in r96462 the real 'includes'
target was changed from manual sub-makes to just recursing 'includes'
on SUBDIR, thus not all includes have been installed into WORLDTMP since then
when combined with 'buildworld'.
This is not done unless calling 'make buildworld' as it would be
unexpected to have it go into all directories when doing 'make
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=mydir includes'.
- Also need to build the cross-compiler so it is used with --sysroot.
If this is burdensome then telling the build to use the local compiler
as an external compiler (thus using a proper --sysroot to WORLDTMP) is
possible by setting CC=/usr/bin/cc, CXX=/usr/bin/c++, etc.
- Don't build the lib32 distribution with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in buildworld
since it won't contain anything related to SUBDIR_OVERRIDE. Testing
of the lib32 build can be done with 'make build32'.
- Document these changes in build.7

On each resolver query, use stat(2) to see if the modification time
of /etc/resolv.conf has changed. If so, reload the file and reinitialize
the resolver library. However, only call stat(2) if at least two seconds
have passed since the last call to stat(2), since calling it on every
query could kill performance.
This new behavior is enabled by default. Add a "reload-period" option
to disable it or change the period of the test.
Document this behavior and option in resolv.conf(5).
