mode, event timer management code requires working time counter. Slow
moving "dummy" time counter delays first hardclock() call by few seconds

If a kobj method doesn't have any explicitly provided default
implementation, then it is auto-assigned kobj_error_method.
kobj_error_method is proper only for methods that return error code,
because it just returns ENXIO.
So, in the case of unimplemented bus_add_child caller would get
(device_t)ENXIO as a return value, which would cause the mistake to go
unnoticed, because return value is typically checked for NULL.
Thus, a specialized null_add_child is added. It would have sufficied
for correctness to return NULL, but this type of mistake was deemed to
be rare and serious enough to call panic instead.
Watch out for this kind of problem with other kobj methods.

The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

Add the BIO_ORDERED flag for struct bio and update bio clients to use it.
The barrier semantics of bioq_insert_tail() were broken in two ways:
o In bioq_disksort(), an added bio could be inserted at the head of
the queue, even when a barrier was present, if the sort key for
the new entry was less than that of the last queued barrier bio.
o The last_offset used to generate the sort key for newly queued bios
did not stay at the position of the barrier until either the
barrier was de-queued, or a new barrier (which updates last_offset)
was queued. When a barrier is in effect, we know that the disk
will pass through the barrier position just before the
"blocked bios" are released, so using the barrier's offset for
last_offset is the optimal choice.

o Update last_offset in bioq_insert_tail().
o Only update last_offset in bioq_remove() if the removed bio is

bioq_takefirst()) and no barrier is active.
o In bioq_disksort(), if we have a barrier (insert_point is non-NULL),
set prev to the barrier and cur to it's next element. Now that
last_offset is kept at the barrier position, this change isn't
strictly necessary, but since we have to take a decision branch
anyway, it does avoid one, no-op, loop iteration in the while
loop that immediately follows.
o In bioq_disksort(), bypass the normal sort for bios with the
BIO_ORDERED attribute and instead insert them into the queue

Interrupt driven configuration hooks serve two purposes: they are a
mechanism for registering for a callback that is invoked once interrupt
services are available, and they hold off root device selection so long
as any configuration hooks are still active. Before this change, it was
not possible to safely register additional hooks from the context of a
configuration hook callback. The need for this feature arises when
interrupts are required to discover new devices (e.g. access to the XenStore
to find para-virtualized devices) which in turn also require the ability
to hold off root device selection until some lengthy, interrupt driven,
configuration task has completed (e.g. Xen front/back device driver
negotiation).
More specifically, the mutex protecting the list of active configuration
hooks is never held during a callback, and static information is used
to ensure proper ordering and only a single callback to each hook even
when faced with registration or removal of a hook during an active run.

Current code doesn't check size of elf sections and may perform needless

The bigger issue is that alignment requirement of a zero-sized section

completely ignore zero-sized sections and thus may map symbols to
addresses differently.
Zero-sized sections are not typical in general.
Their typical (only, even) cause in FreeBSD modules is inline assembly that
creates custom sections which is found in pcpu.h and vnet.h. Mere inclusion
of one of those header files produces a custom section in elf output.
If there is no actual use for the section in a given module, then the
section remains empty.

limited by powers of 2.
Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders,
either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC.
User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls:
kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2.
If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to
replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second,
system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few
times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values,
set during initial setup.
New code that creates character devices shouldn't use device unit
numbers, but only si_drv[12] to hold pointer to per-device data. Make
this function more future proof by removing the unit number argument.

- Allow setting format, resolution and accuracy of BPF time stamps per
listener. Previously, we were only able to use microtime(9). Now we can
set various resolutions and accuracies with ioctl(2) BIOCSTSTAMP command.
Similarly, we can get the current resolution and accuracy with BIOCGTSTAMP
command. Document all supported options in bpf(4) and their uses.
- Introduce new time stamp 'struct bpf_ts' and header 'struct bpf_xhdr'.
The new time stamp has both 64-bit second and fractional parts. bpf_xhdr
has this time stamp instead of 'struct timeval' for bh_tstamp. The new
structures let us use bh_tstamp of same size on both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms without adding additional shims for 32-bit binaries. On 64-bit
platforms, size of BPF header does not change compared to bpf_hdr as its
members are already all 64-bit long. On 32-bit platforms, the size may
increase by 8 bytes. For backward compatibility, struct bpf_hdr with
struct timeval is still the default header unless new time stamp format is
explicitly requested. However, the behaviour may change in the future and
all relevant code is wrapped around "#ifdef BURN_BRIDGES" for now.
- Add experimental support for tagging mbufs with time stamps from a lower
layer, e.g., device driver. Currently, mbuf_tags(9) is used to tag mbufs.
The time stamps must be uptime in 'struct bintime' format as binuptime(9)
and getbinuptime(9) do.

Contrary to what the comment says, pmap_mincore() is not simply an

Eliminate the page queues lock from vfs_setdirty_locked_object(),

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.
