Some older compilers, when generating PIC code, cannot handle inline
asm that clobbers %ebx (because %ebx is used as the GOT offset
register). Userspace versions avoid clobbering %ebx by saving it to
stack before executing the CPUID instruction.

With this change, randomization can be enabled for all non-fixed
mappings. It means that the base address for the mapping is selected
with a guaranteed amount of entropy (bits). If the mapping was
requested to be superpage aligned, the randomization honours the
superpage attributes.
Although the value of ASLR is diminshing over time as exploit authors
work out simple ASLR bypass techniques, it elimintates the trivial
exploitation of certain vulnerabilities, at least in theory. This
implementation is relatively small and happens at the correct
architectural level. Also, it is not expected to introduce
regressions in existing cases when turned off (default for now), or
cause any significant maintaince burden.
The randomization is done on a best-effort basis - that is, the
allocator falls back to a first fit strategy if fragmentation prevents
entropy injection. It is trivial to implement a strong mode where
failure to guarantee the requested amount of entropy results in
mapping request failure, but I do not consider that to be usable.
I have not fine-tuned the amount of entropy injected right now. It is
only a quantitive change that will not change the implementation. The
current amount is controlled by aslr_pages_rnd.
To not spoil coalescing optimizations, to reduce the page table
fragmentation inherent to ASLR, and to keep the transient superpage
promotion for the malloced memory, locality clustering is implemented
for anonymous private mappings, which are automatically grouped until
fragmentation kicks in. The initial location for the anon group range
is, of course, randomized. This is controlled by vm.cluster_anon,
enabled by default.
The default mode keeps the sbrk area unpopulated by other mappings,
but this can be turned off, which gives much more breathing bits on
architectures with small address space, such as i386. This is tied
with the question of following an application's hint about the mmap(2)
base address. Testing shows that ignoring the hint does not affect the
function of common applications, but I would expect more demanding
code could break. By default sbrk is preserved and mmap hints are
satisfied, which can be changed by using the
kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk sysctl.
ASLR is enabled on per-ABI basis, and currently it is only allowed on
FreeBSD native i386 and amd64 (including compat 32bit) ABIs. Support
for additional architectures will be added after further testing.
Both per-process and per-image controls are implemented:
- procctl(2) adds PROC_ASLR_CTL/PROC_ASLR_STATUS;
- NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_ASLR_DISABLE feature control note bit makes it possible
to force ASLR off for the given binary. (A tool to edit the feature
control note is in development.)
Global controls are:
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.enable - for non-fixed mappings done by mmap(2);
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.pie_enable - for PIE image activation mappings;
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk - allow to use sbrk area for mmap(2);
- vm.cluster_anon - enables anon mapping clustering.

It was broken before PAE/no-PAE merge, but since now PAE is the
default, resume is apparently becomes for all machines.
The corrected issues:
- the trampoline page is not mapped executable, so machine faults when
paging is on;
- MSR.EFER and %cr4 both should be loaded before paging is enabled,
otherwise paging structures are invalid (cr4.PAE and EFER.NX).
- MSR.EFER and %cr4 should be only loaded if present. I attempt to handle
this by not touching the registers if the value is zero.
There are some more bits still not quite correct, e.g. unconditional
access to %cr4 in resumectx.

On CPUs supporting cmpxchg8b, fetch is performed by cmpxchg8b on
corresponding CPU slot, which unconditionally write to the slot. If
for that slot, the owner CPU increments it, then both CPUs might run
the cmpxchg8b instruction concurrently and this might race and
override the incremental write. So the counter update would be lost.
Fix it by implementing fetch as IPI and accumulation of result. It is
acceptable for rare counter64 fetch operation to be more expensive.

Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.
Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.
Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.
i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.
The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.

pmap_kextract().
pmap_kextract() can race with promotion/demotion on the kernel page
table, in which case current non-atomic 64bit read would see torn
value, breaking pmap_kextract(). pmap_kextract() would correctly
handle either promoted or demoted PDE, but not a mix where one word
is from a different state.
It requires PAE and > 4G memory to reproduce. We observed this in
real loads, both for intensive use of malloc(9)/free(9) where
vtoslab() returned invalid pointer to the slab, and with the use of
busdma_bounce, where incorrect page was bounced.

This KPI may in principle be used to create kernel mappings, in which
case we certainly should not be setting PG_U. In any case, PG_U must be
set on all layers in the page tables to grant user mode access, and we
were only setting it on leaf entries. Thus, this change should have no

With the introduction of M_EXEC support for kmem_malloc(), some kernel
mappings start having NX bit set in the paging structures early, for
PAE kernels on machines with NX support, i.e. practically on all
machines. In particular, AP trampoline and initialization needs to
access pages which translations has NX bit set, before initializecpu()
is called.
Check for CPUID NX feature and enable EFER.NXE before we enable paging
in mp boot trampoline. This allows the CPU to use the kernel page
table instead of generating page fault due to reserved bit set.

Remove malloc_domain(9) and most other _domain KPIs added in r327900.
The new functions allow the caller to specify a general NUMA domain
selection policy, rather than specifically requesting an allocation from

M_WAITOK, resulting in situations where a caller is blocked indefinitely

the _domain KPIs are converted to instead use a DOMAINSET_PREF() policy,
in which we fall back to other domains to satisfy the allocation
request.
This change also defines a set of DOMAINSET_FIXED() policies, which
only permit allocations from the specified domain.
