17ead000b5 Small textdump enhancements.
Allow textdumps to be called explicitly from DDB.

If "dump" is called in DDB and textdumps are enabled then abort the
dump and tell the user to turn off textdumps.

Add options TEXTDUMP_PREFERRED to turn textdumps on by default.
Add options TEXTDUMP_VERBOSE to be a bit more verbose while textdumping.

c59c83ebb6 Replace the ill-named ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option with two
more appropriate named kernel options for the very distinct
send and receive path.

"options SOCKET_SEND_COW" enables VM page copy-on-write based
sending of data on an outbound socket.

NB: The COW based send mechanism is not safe and may result
in kernel crashes.

"options SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP" enables VM kernel/userspace page
flipping for special disposable pages attached as external
storage to mbufs.

Only the naming of the kernel options is changed and their
corresponding #ifdef sections are adjusted.  No functionality
is added or removed.

560aa751e0 Remove the support for using non-mpsafe filesystem modules.
In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the
filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related
macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems.

The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does
not result in the interface signatures changes.

65d8b7120d Disconnect non-MPSAFE SMBFS from the build in preparation for dropping

requirement for SMBFS.

In the while SMBFS regular users can use FUSE interface and smbnetfs
port to work with their SMBFS partitions.

Also, there are ongoing efforts by vendor to support in-kernel smbfs,
so there are good chances that it will get relinked once properly locked.

ec1be6b9d0 Post r222812 KTR_CPUMASK started being initialized only as a tunable
handler and not more statically.

Unfortunately, it seems that this is not ideal for new platform bringup
and boot low level development (which needs ktr_cpumask to be effective
before tunables can be setup).

Because of this, add a way to statically initialize cpusets, by passing
an list of initializers, divided by commas. Also, provide a way to enforce
an all-set mask, for above mentioned initializers.

This imposes some differences on how KTR_CPUMASK is setup now as a
kernel option, and in particular this makes the words specifications
backward wrt. what is currently in -CURRENT. In order to avoid mismatches
between KTR_CPUMASK definition and other way to setup the mask
(tunable, sysctl) and to print it, change the ordering how
cpusetobj_print() and cpusetobj_scan() acquire the words belonging
to the set.
Please give a look to sys/conf/NOTES in order to understand how the
new format is supposed to work.

Also, ktr manpages will be updated shortly by gjb which volountereed
for this.

This patch won't be merged because it changes a POLA (at least
from the theoretical standpoint) and this is however a patch that
proves to be effective only in development environments.

67d5f1a727 - Updated TOE support in the kernel.
- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
  These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
  and cxgbe(4) respectively.  The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
  usual with or without these extra features.

- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs).  T4 iWARP in the
  works and will follow soon.

Build-tested with make universe.

30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload?  Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE

Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe

Which connections are offloaded?  Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

56a5c844a2 To make CAM debugging easier, compile in some debug flags (CAM_DEBUG_INFO,
CAM_DEBUG_CDB, CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH and CAM_DEBUG_PROBE) by default.
List of these flags can be modified with CAM_DEBUG_COMPILE kernel option.
CAMDEBUG kernel option still enables all possible debug, if not overriden.

Additional 50KB of kernel size is a good price for the ability to debug
problems without rebuilding the kernel. In case where size is important,
debugging can be compiled out by setting CAM_DEBUG_COMPILE option to 0.

Make the default role NONE if target mode is selected. This

If we default to role 'none', this causes a reset of the

fce645c153 Add the CAM Target Layer (CTL).
CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003.  It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.

It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license.  The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.

Some CTL features:

 - Disk and processor device emulation.
 - Tagged queueing
 - SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
 - SCSI implicit command ordering support.  (e.g. if a read follows a mode
   select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
 - Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
 - Support for multiple ports
 - Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
 - Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
 - Persistent reservation support
 - Mode sense/select support
 - Error injection support
 - High Availability support (1)
 - All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.

(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
    functional.

ctl.c:			The core of CTL.  Command handlers and processing,
			character driver, and HA support are here.

ctl.h:			Basic function declarations and data structures.

ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h:		The basic CTL backend API.

ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h:	The block and file backend.  This allows for using
			a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
			Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
			backing device, primarily because the VFS API
			requires that to get any concurrency.

ctl_backend_ramdisk.c:	A "fake" ramdisk backend.  It only allocates a
			small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
			for reads and writes from an initiator.  Therefore
			it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
			used to test for throughput.  It can also be used
			to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.

ctl_cmd_table.c:	This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
			and command handler functions defined for supported
			opcodes.

ctl_debug.h:		Debugging support.

ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h:		CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
			functions.

ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h:		These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.

ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c:	This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
			This frontend allows for using CTL without any
			target-capable hardware.  So any LUNs you create in
			CTL are visible in CAM via this port.

ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
			This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
			some system-specific tasks that required sending
			commands into CTL from inside the kernel.  This
			isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
			but can perhaps be repurposed.

ctl_ha.h:		This is a stubbed-out High Availability API.  Much
			more is needed for full HA support.  See the
			comments in the header and the description of what
			is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
			details.

ctl_io.h:		This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
			union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
			union ccb.

ctl_ioctl.h:		This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
			character device, and the data structures needed
			for those ioctls.

ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h:		Generic memory pool implementation used by the
			internal frontend.

ctl_private.h:		Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
			function prototypes.  This also includes the SCSI
			vendor and product names used by CTL.

ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h:		CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.

ctl_ser_table.c:	Command serialization table.  This defines what
			happens when one type of command is followed by
			another type of command.

ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h:		CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
			used from userland.  See ctladm for the primary
			consumer of these functions.  These include CDB
			building functions.

scsi_ctl.c:		CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
			This is the path into CTL for commands from
			target-capable hardware/SIMs.

README.ctl.txt:		CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.

usr.sbin/Makefile:	Add ctladm.

ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c:		ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
			It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
			It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
			injecting errors and various other control
			functions.

usr.bin/Makefile:	Add ctlstat.

ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c:	ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
			It reports I/O statistics for CTL.

sys/conf/files:		Add CTL files.

sys/conf/NOTES:		Add device ctl.

sys/cam/scsi_all.h:	To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
			length field is now 2 bytes long.

			Add several mode page definitions for CTL.

sys/cam/scsi_all.c:	Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.

sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c:	Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.

scsi_da.h:		Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
			that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.

amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC:	Add device ctl.

i386/conf/PAE:		The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
			cleanly on PAE.

ebf84a8f03 Retire 'options TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS' and replace local jumbo
allocator with UMA backed jumbo allocator by default. Previously
ti(4) used sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers but it was broken
at this moment such that enabling jumbo frame caused instant panic.
Due to the nature of sf_buf(9) it heavily relies on VM changes but
it seems ti(4) was not received much blessing from VM gurus.  I
don't understand VM magic and implications used in driver either.
Switching to UMA backed jumbo allocator like other network drivers
will make jumbo frame work on ti(4).
While I'm here, fully allocate all RX buffers. This means ti(4) now
uses 512 RX buffer and 1024 mini RX buffers.

To use sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers, introduce a new
'options TI_SF_BUF_JUMBO'. If it is proven that sf_buf(9) is better
for jumbo buffers, interesting developers can fix the issue in
future.

ti(4) still needs more bus_dma(9) cleanups and should use separate
DMA tag/map for each ring(standard, jumbo, mini, command, event
etc) but it should work on all platforms except PAE.

b4610d98b0 - Import the common MII bitbang'ing code from NetBSD and convert drivers to
take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of
  the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left
  unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
  instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
  much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just
  for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is
  useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
  MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
  order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an
  index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the
  same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4),
  tl(4) and xl(4).
- Sprinkle some const.

5494aebd97 Improve the informations reported in case of busy buffers during the shutdown:
- Axe out the SHOW_BUSYBUFS option and uses a tunable for selectively
enable/disable it, which is defaulted for not printing anything (0
value) but can be changed for printing (1 value) and be verbose (2
value)
- Improves the informations outputed: right now, there is no track of
the actual struct buf object or vnode which are referenced by the
shutdown process, but it is printed the related struct bufobj object
which is not really helpful
- Add more verbosity about the state of the struct buf lock and the
vnode informations, with the latter to be activated separately by the
sysctl

5ecd1c9d40 Add experimental support for process descriptors
A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.

New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.

When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.

This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.
