r350315 created a Linux compatible copy_file_range(2) syscall.
It uses a VOP method called VOP_COPY_FILE_RANGE so that file systems,
such as the NFSv4.2 client can do file system specific copying.
For NFSv4.2, this allows the copying to be done locally on the NFS server,
avoiding transferring the data across the wire twice.
This is a new man page (content changed).

Casueword(9) on ll/sc architectures must be prepared for userspace
constantly modifying the same cache line as containing the CAS word,
and not loop infinitely. Otherwise, rogue userspace livelocks the
kernel.
To fix the issue, change casueword(9) interface to return new value 1
indicating that either comparision or store failed, instead of relying
on the oldval == *oldvalp comparison. The primitive no longer retries
the operation if it failed spuriously. Modify callers of
casueword(9), all in kern_umtx.c, to handle retries, and react to
stops and requests to terminate between retries.
On x86, despite cmpxchg should not return spurious failures, we can
take advantage of the new interface and just return PSL.ZF.

The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate
reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential
differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect
to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas
vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the
page once the last reference to the page is released.
This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count.
Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages
instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages
is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would
swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change
we remove a number of page lock acquisitions.
No functional change is intended. __FreeBSD_version is bumped.

Unmapped mbufs allow sendfile to carry multiple pages of data in a
single mbuf, without mapping those pages. It is a requirement for
Netflix's in-kernel TLS, and provides a 5-10% CPU savings on heavy web
serving workloads when used by sendfile, due to effectively
compressing socket buffers by an order of magnitude, and hence
reducing cache misses.
For this new external mbuf buffer type (EXT_PGS), the ext_buf pointer
now points to a struct mbuf_ext_pgs structure instead of a data
buffer. This structure contains an array of physical addresses (this
reduces cache misses compared to an earlier version that stored an
array of vm_page_t pointers). It also stores additional fields needed
for in-kernel TLS such as the TLS header and trailer data that are
currently unused. To more easily detect these mbufs, the M_NOMAP flag
is set in m_flags in addition to M_EXT.
Various functions like m_copydata() have been updated to safely access
packet contents (using uiomove_fromphys()), to make things like BPF
safe.
NIC drivers advertise support for unmapped mbufs on transmit via a new
IFCAP_NOMAP capability. This capability can be toggled via the new
'nomap' and '-nomap' ifconfig(8) commands. For NIC drivers that only
transmit packet contents via DMA and use bus_dma, adding the
capability to if_capabilities and if_capenable should be all that is
required.
If a NIC does not support unmapped mbufs, they are converted to a
chain of mapped mbufs (using sf_bufs to provide the mapping) in
ip_output or ip6_output. If an unmapped mbuf requires software
checksums, it is also converted to a chain of mapped mbufs before
computing the checksum.

The epoch_drain_callbacks() function is used to drain all pending
callbacks which have been invoked by prior epoch_call() function calls
on the same epoch. This function is useful when there are shared
memory structure(s) referred to by the epoch callback(s) which are not
refcounted and are rarely freed. The typical place for calling this
function is right before freeing or invalidating the shared
resource(s) used by the epoch callback(s). This function can sleep and
is not optimized for performance.

"pin_list" allows to specify child pins as a list of pin numbers.
Existing hint "pins" serves the same purpose but with a 32-bit wide bit
mask. One problem with that is that a controller can have more than 32
pins. One example is amdgpio. Also, a list of numbers is a little bit
more human friendly than a matching bit mask. As a side note, it seems
that in FDT pins are typically specified by their numbers as well.
This commit also adds accessors for instance variables (IVARs) that
define the child pins. My primary goal is to allow a child to be
configured programmatically rather than via hints (assuming that FDT is
not supported on a platform). Also, while a child should not care about
specific pin numbers that are allocated to it, it could be interested in
how many were actually assigned to it.
While there, I removed "flags" instance variable. It was unused.

wakeup_one() and underlying sleepq_signal() spend additional time trying
to be fair, waking thread with highest priority, sleeping longest time.
But in case of taskqueue there are many absolutely identical threads, and
any fairness between them is quite pointless. It makes even worse, since
round-robin wakeups not only make previous CPU affinity in scheduler quite
useless, but also hide from user chance to see CPU bottlenecks, when
sequential workload with one request at a time looks evenly distributed
between multiple threads.
This change adds new SLEEPQ_UNFAIR flag to sleepq_signal(), making it wakeup
thread that went to sleep last, but no longer in context switch (to avoid
immediate spinning on the thread lock). On top of that new wakeup_any()
function is added, equivalent to wakeup_one(), but setting the flag.
On top of that taskqueue(9) is switchied to wakeup_any() to wakeup its
threads.
As result, on 72-core Xeon v4 machine sequential ZFS write to 12 ZVOLs
with 16KB block size spend 34% less time in wakeup_any() and descendants
then it was spending in wakeup_one(), and total write throughput increased
by ~10% with the same as before CPU usage.
