r355436 moved mitigation sysctls to machdep.mitigations but did not
rationalize the sense of the invidual knobs. Clarify that the old
names remain the canonical way to set these mitigations.
Backwards compatibility will be maintained for the original names
(e.g. hw.ibrs_disable), but not from the interim names
(e.g. machdep.mitigations.ibrs.disable).

This typedef is the same as timeout_t except that it is in the callout
namespace and header.
Use this typedef in various places of the callout implementation that
were either using the raw type or timeout_t.
While here, add <sys/callout.h> to the manpage.

The datasheets for these chips claim the maximum is 921,600, but testing
shows these two higher rates also work (but no rates above 921,600 other
than these two work; these represent dividing the base buad clock by 3 and 2
respectively).
The current vnode layout is not smp-friendly by having frequently read data
avoidably sharing cachelines with very frequently modified fields. In
particular v_iflag inspected for VI_DOOMED can be found in the same line with
v_usecount. Instead make it available in the same cacheline as the v_op, v_data
and v_type which all get read all the time.
v_type is avoidably 4 bytes while the necessary data will easily fit in 1.
Shrinking it frees up 3 bytes, 2 of which get used here to introduce a new
flag field with a new value: VIRF_DOOMED.

This makes it possible to retrieve per-connection statistical
information such as the receive window size, RTT, or goodput,
using a newly added TCP_STATS getsockopt(3) option, and extract
them using the stats_voistat_fetch(3) API.
See the net/tcprtt port for an example consumer of this API.
Compared to the existing TCP_INFO system, the main differences
are that this mechanism is easy to extend without breaking ABI,
and provides statistical information instead of raw "snapshots"
of values at a given point in time. stats(3) is more generic
and can be used in both userland and the kernel.

FDT bindings document for gpio-i2c devices.
Using the gpio_pin_* functions to acquire/release/manipulate gpio pins
removes the constraint that both gpio pins must belong to the same gpio
controller/bank, and that the gpioiic instance must be a child of gpiobus.
Removing those constraints allows the driver to be fully compatible with
the modern dts bindings for a gpio bitbanged i2c bus.
For hinted attachment, the two gpio pins still must be on the same gpiobus,
and the device instance must be a child of that bus. This preserves
compatibility for existing installations that have use gpioiic(4) with hints.
It was introduced by r290122, but no documentation was provided.
This is taken from https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21798, since it

Generally, it's preferred that an application fork/setsid if it doesn't want
to keep its controlling TTY, but it could be that a debugger is trying to
steal it instead -- so it would hook in, drop the controlling TTY, then do
some magic to set things up again. In this case, TIOCNOTTY is quite handy
and still respected by at least OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux as far as I can
tell.
I've dropped the note about obsoletion, as I intend to support TIOCNOTTY as
long as it doesn't impose a major burden.

In r353734 the use of the page caches was limited to systems with a
relatively large amount of RAM per CPU. This was to mitigate some
issues reported with the system not able to keep up with memory pressure
in cases where it had been able to do so prior to the addition of the
direct free pool cache. This change re-enables those caches.
The change modifies uma_zone_set_maxcache(), which was introduced
specifically for the page cache zones. Rather than using it to limit
only the full bucket cache, have it also set uz_count_max to provide an
upper bound on the per-CPU cache size that is consistent with the number
of items requested. Remove its return value since it has no use.
Enable the page cache zones unconditionally, and limit them to 0.1% of
the domain's pages. The limit can be overridden by the
vm.pgcache_zone_max tunable as before.
Change the item size parameter passed to uma_zcache_create() to the
correct size, and stop setting UMA_ZONE_MAXBUCKET. This allows the page
cache buckets to be adaptively sized, like the rest of UMA's caches.
This also causes the initial bucket size to be small, so only systems
which benefit from large caches will get them.

Add bit_ffs_area_at and bit_ffc_area_at functions for searching a bit
string for a sequence of contiguous set or unset bits of at least the
specified size.
The bit_ffc_area function will be used by the Intel ice driver for
implementing resource assignment logic using a bitstring to represent
whether or not a given index has been assigned or is currently free.
The bit_ffs_area, bit_ffc_area_at and bit_ffs_area_at functions are
implemented for completeness.
I'd like to add further test cases for the new functions, but I'm not
really sure how to add them easily. The new functions depend on specific
sequences of bits being set, while the bitstring tests appear to run for
varying bit sizes.

Each boot, regenerate /var/run/os-release based on the currently running
system. Create a /etc/os-release symlink pointing to this file (so that this
doesn't create a new reason /etc can not be mounted read-only).
This is compatible with what other systems do and is what the sysutil/os-release
port attempted to do, but in an incomplete way. Linux, Solaris and DragonFly all
implement this natively as well. The complete standard can be found at
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
Moving this to the base solves both the non-standard location problem with the
port, as well as the lack of update of this file on system update.

disables all use of superpage mappings on affected CPUs. The
vm.pmap.allow_2m_x_ept sysctl can be set to override the default and
enable mappings on affected CPUs.
Alternate approaches have been suggested, but at present we do not
believe the complexity is warranted for typical bhyve's use cases.

Previously ntb_transport(4) required at least 6 scratchpad registers,
plus 2 more for each additional memory window. That is too much for some
configurations, where several drivers have to share resources of the same
NTB hardware. This patch introduces new compact version of the protocol,
requiring only 3 scratchpad registers, plus one more for each additional
memory window. The optimization is based on fact that neither of version,
number of windows or number of queue pairs really need more then one byte
each, and window sizes of 4GB are not very useful now. The new protocol
is activated automatically when the configuration is low on scratchpad
registers, or it can be activated explicitly with loader tunable.

Address Lookup Table (A-LUT) being enabled allows to specify separate
translation for each 1/128th or 1/256th of the BAR2. Previously it was
used only to limit effective window size by blocking access through some
of A-LUT elements. This change allows A-LUT elements to also point
different memory locations, providing to upper layers several (up to 128)
independent memory windows. A-LUT hardware allows even more flexible
configurations than this, but NTB KPI have no way to manage that now.
