from any context i.e., it is not required to be called from a vcpu thread. The
ioctl simply sets a state variable 'vm->suspend' to '1' and returns.
The vcpus inspect 'vm->suspend' in the run loop and if it is set to '1' the
vcpu breaks out of the loop with a reason of 'VM_EXITCODE_SUSPENDED'. The
suspend handler waits until all 'vm->active_cpus' have transitioned to
'vm->suspended_cpus' before returning to userspace.

add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this
option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there
may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require
a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree
will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for
clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another
dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed
state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update
all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from
in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is
one less place the user will have to know to do something
special for clang and one less thing developers will need
to do when moving an architecture to clang.

First, for accesses to direct map region should check for the limit by
which direct map is instantiated.
Second, for accesses to the kernel map, success returned from the
kernacc(9) does not guarantee that consequent attempt to read or write
to the checked address succeed, since other thread might invalidate
the address meantime. Add a new thread private flag TDP_DEVMEMIO,
which instructs vm_fault() to return error when fault happens on the
MAP_ENTRY_NOFAULT entry, instead of panicing. The trap handler would
then see a page fault from access, and recover in normal way, making
/dev/mem access safer.
Remove GIANT_REQUIRED from the amd64 memrw(), since it is not needed

linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.
(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable
pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided,
however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.
(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing
interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
processed.
(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
dispatchable context).
(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using
connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
strategy despite CPU overhead.
Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.
No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
