A new 'u_long *sv_hwcap' field is added to 'struct sysentvec'. A
process ABI can set this field to point to a value holding a mask of
architecture-specific CPU feature flags. If an ABI does not wish to
supply AT_HWCAP to processes the field can be left as NULL.
The support code for AT_EHDRFLAGS was already present on all systems,
just the #define was not present. This is a step towards unifying the
AT_* constants across platforms.

New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

--Remove special-case handling of sparc64 bus_dmamap* functions.
Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>. This
is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers
around map objects which may be bus- or device-specific.
--Remove NULL-checked bus_dmamap macros. Implement the
equivalent NULL checks in the inlined x86 implementation.
For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization
as those platforms do not currently allow NULL maps. NULL
maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have
been the motivation behind adding arm[64]-specific barriers
to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.
--Simplify the internal interface used by the bus_dmamap_load*
variants and move it to bus_dma_internal.h
--Fix some drivers that directly include sys/bus_dma.h
despite the recommendations of bus_dma(9)

struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
The types are for the byte offset and page index in vm object. They
are similar to off_t, which is defined as 64bit MI integer. Using MI
definitions will allow to provide consistent MD values of vm
object-related maximum sizes.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

memory system.
RISC-V ISA has only single page table base register for both kernel
and user addresses translation. Before this commit we were using an
extra (4th) level of pagetables for switching between kernel and user
pagetables, but then realized FPGA hardware has 3-level page system
hardcoded. It is also become clear that the bitfile synthesized for
4-level system is untested/broken, so we can't use extra level for
switching.
We are now share level 1 of pagetables between kernel and user VA.
This requires to keep track of all the user pmaps created and once we
adding L1 page to kernel pmap we have to add it to all the user pmaps.
o Change the VM layout as we must have topmost bit to be 1 in the
selected page system for kernel addresses and 0 for user addresses.
o Implement pmap_kenter_device().
o Create the l3 tables for the early devmap.
