the buffer is allocated we are committed to a particular buffer method
(BPF_BUFMODE_BUFFER in this case).
If we are using zero-copy buffers, the userland program must register its
buffers before set the interface.
If we are using kernel memory buffers, we can allocate the buffer at the
time that the interface is being set.
This fix allows the usage of BIOCSETBUFMODE after r235746.
Update the comments to reflect the recent changes.

On CloudABI, the rights bits returned by cap_rights_get() match up with
the operations that you can actually perform on the file descriptor.
Limiting the rights is good, because it makes it easier to get uniform
behaviour across different operating systems. If process descriptors on
FreeBSD would suddenly gain support for any new file operation, this
wouldn't become exposed to CloudABI processes without first extending
the rights.
Extend fork1() to gain a 'struct filecaps' argument that allows you to
construct process descriptors with custom rights. Use this in
cloudabi_sys_proc_fork() to limit the rights to just fstat() and
pdwait().

Looks like better fix is to use _Static_assert...
has observable overhead when the buffer pages are not resident or not
mapped. The overhead comes at least from two factors, one is the
additional work needed to detect the situation, prepare and execute
the rollbacks. Another is the consequence of the i/o splitting into
the batches of the held pages, causing filesystems see series of the
smaller i/o requests instead of the single large request.
Note that expected case of the resident i/o buffer does not expose
these issues. Provide a prefaulting for the userspace i/o buffers,
disabled by default. I am careful of not enabling prefaulting by
default for now, since it would be detrimental for the applications
which speculatively pass extra-large buffers of anonymous memory to
not deal with buffer sizing (if such apps exist).

Replace a draft w/ RFC that's over 10 years old.
Note that _AALG and _EALG do not need to match what the IKE daemons
think they should be.. This is part of the KABI... I decided to
renumber AESCTR, but since we've never had working AESCTR mode, I'm
not really breaking anything.. and it shortens a loop by quite
a bit..
remove SKIPJACK IPsec support... SKIPJACK never made it out of draft
(in 1999), only has 80bit key, NIST recommended it stop being used
after 2010, and setkey nor any of the IKE daemons I checked supported
it...

The IPsec SA statistic keeping is used even for decision making on expiry/rekeying SAs.
When there are multiple transformations being done the statistic keeping might be wrong.
This mostly impacts multiple encapsulations on IPsec since the usual scenario it is not noticed due to the code path not taken.

Right now there is a chance that sysctl unregister will cause reader to
block on the sx lock associated with sysctl rmlock, in which case kernels
with debug enabled will panic.
Brightness is controlled through sysctl dev.gpiobacklight.X.brightness:
- any value greater than 0: backlight is on

In tf_dequeue(), if we reach the end of the list without finding a
non-cancelled element, "tmp" will be a pointer into the list head, so the
tmp->canceled check is bogus. Use a flag instead.

the VM_FAULT_CHANGE_WIRING flag to VM_FAULT_WIRE. Assert that the
flag is only passed when faulting on the wired map entry. Remove the
vm_page_unwire() call, which should be never reachable.
Since VM_FAULT_WIRE flag implies wired map entry, the TRYPAGER() macro
is reduced to the testing of the fs.object having a default pager.

FreeBSD provides a feature called Adaptive Mutexes, which allows
a thread to spin for a while when the mutex is taken instead of
immediately going to sleep. This causes issues when called from
syscall handler if interrupts are masked. If every other core
also attempts to access the same mutex there is a chance that
all of them are spinning on the same lock at the same time.
If interrupts are disabled, no kernel preemtion can occur and
the system becomes unresponsive.
This patch enables interrupts when syscall is being executed
and masks them as soon as it is completed.

the blkfront driver to perform I/Os of up to 2 MB, subject to support from
the blkback to which it is connected and the initiation of such large I/Os
by the rest of the kernel. In practice, the I/O size is increased from 40 kB
to 128 kB.
The changes to xen/interface/io/blkif.h consist merely of merging updates
from the upstream Xen repository.
In dev/xen/blkfront/block.h we add some convenience macros and structure
fields used for indirect-page I/Os: The device records its negotiated limit
on the number of indirect pages used, while each I/O command structure gains
permanently allocated page(s) for indirect page references and the Xen grant
references for those pages.
In dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c we now check in xbd_queue_cb whether a request
is small enough to handle without an indirection page, and either follow the
previous behaviour or use new code for issuing an indirect segment I/O. In
xbd_connect we read the size of indirect segment I/Os supported by the backend
and select the maximum size we will use; then allocate the pages and Xen grant
references for each I/O command structure. In xbd_free those grants and pages
are released.
A new loader tunable, hw.xbd.xbd_enable_indirect, can be set to 0 in order to
disable this functionality; it works by pretending that the backend does not
support this feature. Some backends exhibit a loss of performance with large
I/Os, so users may wish to test with and without this functionality enabled.
