Ability to load-balance traffic over multiple path is a must-have thing for routers.
It may be used by the servers to balance outgoing traffic over multiple default gateways.
The previous implementation, RADIX_MPATH stayed in the shadow for too long.
It was not well maintained, which lead us to a vicious circle - people were using
non-contiguous mask or firewalls to achieve similar goals. As a result, some routing
daemons implementation still don't have multipath support enabled for FreeBSD.
Turning on ROUTE_MPATH by default would fix it. It will allow to reduce networking
feature gap to other operating systems. Linux and OpenBSD enabled similar support
at least 5 years ago.
ROUTE_MPATH does not consume memory unless actually used. It enables around ~1k LOC.
It does not bring any behaviour changes for userland.
Additionally, feature is (temporarily) turned off by the net.route.multipath sysctl
defaulting to 0.

The ARM PMU may use single per-core interrupt or may use multiple generic
interrupts, one per core. In this case, special attention must be paid to
the correct identification of the physical location of the core, its order
in the external database (FDT) and the associated cpuid.
Also keep in mind that a SoC can have multiple different PMUs
(usually one per cluster)
Some older PSCI implementations corrupt (or do not pass) the context_id
argument to newly started secondary cores. Although the ideal solution to this
problem is u-boot update, we can find the correct value for the argument (cpuid)
by comparing of real core mpidr register with the value stored in pcu->mpidr.

This is nearly a 1:1 mapping of the pager API from libsa. The only real
difference is that pager.output() will accept any number of arguments and
coerce all of them to strings for output using luaL_tolstring (i.e. the

This is an import of the Google Summer of Code 2018 project completed by
Christian Kramer (and, sadly, ignored by us for two years now). The goals
stated for that project were:
FreeBSD already has support for interrupts implemented in the GPIO
controller drivers of several SoCs, but there are no interfaces to take
advantage of them out of user space yet. The goal of this work is to
implement such an interface by providing descriptors which integrate
with the common I/O system calls and multiplexing mechanisms.
The initial imported code supports the following functionality:
- A kernel driver that provides an interface to the user space; the
existing gpioc(4) driver was enhanced with this functionality.
- Implement support for the most common I/O system calls / multiplexing
mechanisms:
- read() Places the pin number on which the interrupt occurred in the
buffer. Blocking and non-blocking behaviour supported.
- poll()/select()
- kqueue()
- signal driven I/O. Posting SIGIO when the O_ASYNC was set.
- Many-to-many relationship between pins and file descriptors.
- A file descriptor can monitor several GPIO pins.
- A GPIO pin can be monitored by multiple file descriptors.
- Integration with gpioctl and libgpio.
I added some fixes (mostly to locking) and feature enhancements on top of
the original gsoc code. The feature ehancements allow the user to choose
between detailed and summary event reporting. Detailed reporting provides
a record describing each pin change event. Summary reporting provides the
time of the first and last change of each pin, and a count of how many times
it changed state since the last read(2) call. Another enhancement allows
the recording of multiple state change events on multiple pins between each
call to read(2) (the original code would track only a single event at a time).
The phabricator review for these changes timed out without approval, but I
cite it below anyway, because the review contains a series of diffs that
show how I evolved the code from its original state in Christian's github
repo for the gsoc project to what is being commited here. (In effect,
the phab review extends the VC history back to the original code.)

After the commit of the current version, Scott Long pointed out, that an
attacker might be able to cause a use-after-free access if this function
returned the value of the sysctl variable "user.localbase" by freeing
the allocated memory without the cached address being cleared in the
library function.
To resolve this issue, I have proposed the originally suggested version
with a statically allocated buffer in a review (D27370). There was no
feedback on this review and after waiting for more than 2 weeks, the
potential security issue is fixed by this commit. (There was no security
risk in practice, since none of the programs converted to use this
function attempted to free the buffer. The address could only have
pointed into the heap if user.localbase was set to a non-default value,
into r/o data or the environment, else.)
This version uses a static buffer of size LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN, which
defaults to MAXPATHLEN. This does not increase the memory footprint
of the library at this time, since its data segment grows from less
than 7 KB to less than 8 KB, i.e. it will get two 4 KB pages on typical
architectures, anyway.
Compiling with LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN defined as 0 will remove the code
that accesses the sysctl variable, values between 1 and MAXPATHLEN-1
will limit the maximum size of the prefix. When built with such a
value and if too large a value has been configured in user.localbase,
the value defined as ILLEGAL_PREFIX will be returned to cause any
file operations on that result to fail. (Default value is "/dev/null/",
the review contained "/\177", but I assume that "/dev/null" exists and
can not be accessed as a directory. Any other string that can be assumed
not be a valid path prefix could be used.)
I do suggest to use LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN to size the in-kernel buffer for
the user.localbase variable, too. Doing this would guarantee that the
result always fit into the buffer in this library function (unless run
on a kernel built with a different buffer size.)
The function always returns a valid string, and only in case it is built
with a small static buffer and run on a system with too large a value in
user.localbase, the ILLEGAL_PREFIX will be returned, effectively causing
the created path to be non-existent.
