Add or fix options to control static and dynamic configuration. Keep
the default of scteken, but default to statically configuring all available
emulators (now 3 instead of 1).
The dumb emulator is almost usable. libedit and libreadline handle
dumb terminals perfectly for at least shell history. less(1) works
as well as possible except on exit. But curses programs make messes.
The dumb emulator has strange color support, with 2 dumb colors for
normal output but fancy colorization for the cursor, mouse pointer and
(with a non-dumb initial emulator) for low-level console output.
Using the sc emulator instead of the default of scteken fixes at least
the following bugs:
- NUL is a printing character in cons25 but not in teken
- teken doesn't support fixed colors for "reverse" video.
- The best versions of sc are about 10 times faster than scteken (for
printing to the frame buffer). This version is only about 5 times
faster.
Fix configuration features:
- make SC_DFLT_TERM (for setting the initial emulator) a normal option.
Add configuration features:
- negative options SC_NO_TERM_* for omitting emulators in the static config.
Modules for emulators might work, but I don't know of any
- vidcontrol -e shows the available emulators
- vidcontrol -E <emulator> sets the active emulator.
This will allow multiple consumers of the coverage data to be compiled
into the kernel together. The only requirement is only one can be
registered at a given point in time, however it is expected they will
only register when the coverage data is needed.
A new kernel conflig option COVERAGE is added. This will allow kcov to
become a module that can be loaded as needed, or compiled into the
kernel.
While here clean up the #include style a little.

o In vm_pager_bufferinit() create pbuf_zone and start accounting on how many
pbufs are we going to have set.
In various subsystems that are going to utilize pbufs create private zones
via call to pbuf_zsecond_create(). The latter calls uma_zsecond_create(),
and sets a limit on created zone. After startup preallocate pbufs according
to requirements of all pbuf zones.
Subsystems that used to have a private limit with old allocator now have
private pbuf zones: md(4), fusefs, NFS client, smbfs, VFS cluster, FFS,
swap, vnode pager.
The following subsystems use shared pbuf zone: cam(4), nvme(4), physio(9),
aio(4). They should have their private limits, but changing that is out of
scope of this commit.
o Fetch tunable value of kern.nswbuf from init_param2() and while here move
NSWBUF_MIN to opt_param.h and eliminate opt_swap.h, that was holding only
this option.
Default values aren't touched by this commit, but they probably should be
reviewed wrt to modern hardware.
This change removes a tight bottleneck from sendfile(2) operation, that
uses pbufs in vnode pager. Other pagers also would benefit from faster
allocation.

When building with KCOV enabled the compiler will insert function calls
to probes allowing us to trace the execution of the kernel from userspace.
These probes are on function entry (trace-pc) and on comparison operations
(trace-cmp).
Userspace can enable the use of these probes on a single kernel thread with
an ioctl interface. It can allocate space for the probe with KIOSETBUFSIZE,
then mmap the allocated buffer and enable tracing with KIOENABLE, with the
trace mode being passed in as the int argument. When complete KIODISABLE
is used to disable tracing.
The first item in the buffer is the number of trace event that have
happened. Userspace can write 0 to this to reset the tracing, and is
expected to do so on first use.
The format of the buffer depends on the trace mode. When in PC tracing just
the return address of the probe is stored. Under comparison tracing the
comparison type, the two arguments, and the return address are traced. The
former method uses on entry per trace event, while the later uses 4. As
such they are incompatible so only a single mode may be enabled.
KCOV is expected to help fuzzing the kernel, and while in development has
already found a number of issues. It is required for the syzkaller system
call fuzzer [1]. Other kernel fuzzers could also make use of it, either
with the current interface, or by extending it with new modes.
A man page is currently being worked on and is expected to be committed
soon, however having the code in the kernel now is useful for other
developers to use.

Code analysis and runtime analysis using truss(8) indicate that the only
privileged operations performed by ntpd are adjusting system time, and
(re-)binding to privileged UDP port 123. These changes add a new mac(4)
policy module, mac_ntpd(4), which grants just those privileges to any
process running with uid 123.
This also adds a new user and group, ntpd:ntpd, (uid:gid 123:123), and makes
them the owner of the /var/db/ntp directory, so that it can be used as a
location where the non-privileged daemon can write files such as the
driftfile, and any optional logfile or stats files.
Because there are so many ways to configure ntpd, the question of how to
configure it to run without root privs can be a bit complex, so that will be
addressed in a separate commit. These changes are just what's required to
grant the limited subset of privs to ntpd, and the small change to ntpd to
prevent it from exiting with an error if running as non-root.

than assigning spigen device names in order of creation, this uses a device
name that corresponds to the owning spibus and chip-select index.
Example: /dev/spigen0.1 would be a child of spibus0, and use cs = 1
The intent is for systems like Raspberry Pi to have a consistent way of
using an SPI interface with a specific cs value from a user application.
Otherwise, there is no consistent way of knowing which cs pin will be
assigned to a particular spigen device. The alternative is to specify
everything in "the right order" in an overlay file, which is less than
ideal. Additionally, this duplicates (to some extent) the way Linux handles
a similar situation with their 'spidev' device, so it would be somewhat
familiar to those who also use Linux.
A new kernel config option, SPIGEN_LEGACY_CDEVNAME, causes the driver to
also create /dev/spigenN device name aliases, with N incrementing in the
order of device instantiation. This is provided to ease the transition
for existing systems using the original naming convention (particularly
when these changes are MFC'd to stable branches).

Currently, bwn(4) relies on the siba_bwn(4) bus driver to provide support
for the on-chip SSB interconnect found in Broadcom's older PCI(e) Wi-Fi
adapters. Non-PCI Wi-Fi adapters, as well as the newer BCMA interconnect
found in post-2009 Broadcom Wi-Fi hardware, are not supported by
siba_bwn(4).
The bhnd(4) bus driver (also used by the FreeBSD/MIPS Broadcom port)
provides a unified kernel interface to a superset of the hardware supported
by siba_bwn; by attaching bwn(4) via bhnd(4), we can support both modern
PCI(e) Wi-Fi devices based on the BCMA backplane interconnect, as well as
Broadcom MIPS WiSoCs that include a D11 MAC core directly attached to their
SSB or BCMA backplane.
This diff introduces opt-in bwn(4) support for bhnd(4) by providing:
- A small bwn(4) driver subclass, if_bwn_bhnd, that attaches via
bhnd(4) instead of siba_bwn(4).
- A bhndb(4)-based PCI host bridge driver, if_bwn_pci, that optionally
probes at a higher priority than the siba_bwn(4) PCI driver.
- A set of compatibility shims that perform translation of bwn(4)'s
siba_bwn function calls into their bhnd(9) API equivalents when bwn(4)
is attached via a bhnd(4) bus parent. When bwn(4) is attached via
siba_bwn(4), all siba_bwn function calls are simply passed through to
their original implementations.
To test bwn(4) with bhnd(4), place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
hw.bwn_pci.preferred="1"
if_bwn_pci_load="YES
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES"
To verify that bwn(4) is using bhnd(4), you can check dmesg:
bwn0: <Broadcom 802.11 MAC/PHY/Radio, rev 15> ... on bhnd0
... or devinfo(8):
pcib2
pci2
bwn_pci0
bhndb0
bhnd0
bwn0
...
bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested for regressions with most chipsets currently
supported by bwn(4), including:
- BCM4312
- BCM4318
- BCM4321
With minimal changes to the DMA code (not included in this commit), I was
also able to test support for newer BCMA devices by bringing up basic
working Wi-Fi on two previously unsupported, BCMA-based N-PHY chipsets:
