The origin of WEP comes from IEEE Std 802.11-1997 where it defines
whether the frame body of MAC frame has been encrypted using WEP
algorithm or not.
IEEE Std. 802.11-2007 changes WEP to Protected Frame, indicates
whether the frame is protected by a cryptographic encapsulation
algorithm.

invoked with the shared linker lock held, while kld_unload_try is invoked
with the lock exclusively held.
Convert hwpmc(4) to use these event handlers instead of having
kern_kldload() and kern_kldunload() invoke hwpmc(4) hooks whenever files are

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

some general word-smithing.
- Don't claim that adaptive mutexes have a timeout (they don't).
- Don't treat pool mutexes as a separate primitive in a few places.
- Describe sleepable read-mostly locks as a separate lock type and add
them to the various tables.
- Don't claim that sx locks are less efficient. That hasn't been true in
a few years now.
- Describe lockmanager locks next to sx locks since they are very similar
in terms of rules, etc., and so that all the lock primitives are
grouped together before the non-lock primitives.
- Similarly, move the section on Giant after the description of all the
non-lock primitives to preserve grouping.
- Condition variables work on several types of locks, not just mutexes.
- Add a bit of language to compare/contrast condition variables with
sleep/wakeup.
- Add a note about why pause(9) is unique.
- Add some language to define bounded vs unbounded sleeps and explain
why they are treated separately (bounded sleeps only need CPU time
to make forward progress).
- Don't state that using mtx_sleep() is a bad idea. It is in fact rather
necessary.
- Rework the interaction table a bit. First, it did not include really
include sleepable rmlocks and it left out lockmgr entirely. To get
things to fit, combine similar lock types into the same column / row,
and explicitly state what "sleep" means. The notes about recursion
and lock order were also a bit banal (lock order is always important,
not just in the few places annotated here), so remove them. In
particular, the lock order note would need to be on just about every
cell. If we want to document recursion I think a better approach
would be a separate table summarizing the recursion rules for each
lock as having too many notes clutters the table.
- Tweak the tables to use less indentation so everything still fits with
the added columns.
- Correct a few cells in the context mode table.
- Use mdoc markup instead of explicit markup in a few places.

These zones have slab size == sizeof(struct pcpu), but request from VM
enough pages to fit (uk_slabsize * mp_ncpus). An item allocated from such
zone would have a separate twin for each CPU in the system, and these twins
are at a distance of sizeof(struct pcpu) from each other. This magic value
of distance would allow us to make some optimizations later.
To address private item from a CPU simple arithmetics should be used:
item = (type *)((char *)base + sizeof(struct pcpu) * curcpu)
These arithmetics are available as zpcpu_get() macro in pcpu.h.
To introduce non-page size slabs a new field had been added to uma_keg
uk_slabsize. This shifted some frequently used fields of uma_keg to the
fourth cache line on amd64. To mitigate this pessimization, uma_keg fields
were a bit rearranged and least frequently used uk_name and uk_link moved
down to the fourth cache line. All other fields, that are dereferenced
frequently fit into first three cache lines.

The scope of these callbacks is primarily to support actions that affect the
taskqueue's thread environments. They are entirely optional, and
consequently are introduced as a new API: taskqueue_set_callback().
This interface allows the caller to specify that a taskqueue requires a
callback and optional context pointer for a given callback type.
The callback types included in this commit can be used to register a
constructor and destructor for thread-local storage using osd(9). This
allows a particular taskqueue to define that its threads require a specific
type of TLS, without the need for a specially-orchestrated task-based
mechanism for startup and shutdown in order to accomplish it.
Two callback types are supported at this point:
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_INIT, called by every thread when it starts, prior
to processing any tasks.
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_SHUTDOWN, called by every thread when it exits,
after it has processed its last task but before the taskqueue is
reclaimed.
While I'm here:
- Add two new macros, TQ_ASSERT_LOCKED and TQ_ASSERT_UNLOCKED, and use them
in appropriate locations.
- Fix taskqueue.9 to mention taskqueue_start_threads(), which is a required
interface for all consumers of taskqueue(9).

tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats

1) It is not useful to call "devfs_clear_cdevpriv()" from

a da(4) instance going away while GEOM is still probing it.
In this case, the GEOM disk class instance has been created by
disk_create(), and the taste of the disk is queued in the GEOM
event queue.
While that event is queued, the da(4) instance goes away. When the
open call comes into the da(4) driver, it dereferences the freed
(but non-NULL) peripheral pointer provided by GEOM, which results
in a panic.
The solution is to add a callback to the GEOM disk code that is
called when all of its resources are cleaned up. This is
implemented inside GEOM by adding an optional callback that is
called when all consumers have detached from a provider, and the
provider is about to be deleted.
scsi_cd.c,
scsi_da.c: In the register routine for the cd(4) and da(4)
routines, acquire a reference to the CAM peripheral
instance just before we call disk_create().
Use the new GEOM disk d_gone() callback to register
a callback (dadiskgonecb()/cddiskgonecb()) that
decrements the peripheral reference count once GEOM
has finished cleaning up its resources.
In the cd(4) driver, clean up open and close
behavior slightly. GEOM makes sure we only get one
open() and one close call, so there is no need to
set an open flag and decrement the reference count
if we are not the first open.
In the cd(4) driver, use cam_periph_release_locked()
in a couple of error scenarios to avoid extra mutex
calls.
geom.h: Add a new, optional, providergone callback that
is called when a provider is about to be deleted.
geom_disk.h: Add a new d_gone() callback to the GEOM disk
interface.
Bump the DISK_VERSION to version 2. This probably
should have been done after a couple of previous
changes, especially the addition of the d_getattr()
callback.
geom_disk.c: Add a providergone callback for the disk class,
g_disk_providergone(), that calls the user's
d_gone() callback if it exists.
Bump the DISK_VERSION to 2.
geom_subr.c: In g_destroy_provider(), call the providergone
callback if it has been provided.
In g_new_geomf(), propagate the class's
providergone callback to the new geom instance.
blkfront.c: Callers of disk_create() are supposed to pass in
DISK_VERSION, not an explicit disk API version
number. Update the blkfront driver to do that.
disk.9: Update the disk(9) man page to include information
on the new d_gone() callback, as well as the
previously added d_getattr() callback, d_descr
field, and HBA PCI ID fields.
