9906b913d9 Disable the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE by default on all the supported
platforms.
This will make every attempt to mount a non-mpsafe filesystem to the
kernel forbidden, unless it is expressely compiled with
VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option.

This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.

No MFC is expected for this patch.

5013ab31bd - Change contigmalloc() to use the vm_paddr_t type instead of an unsigned
long for specifying a boundary constraint.
- Change bus_dma tags to use bus_addr_t instead of bus_size_t for boundary
  constraints.

These allow boundary constraints to be fully expressed for cases where
sizeof(bus_addr_t) != sizeof(bus_size_t).  Specifically, it allows a
driver to properly specify a 4GB boundary in a PAE kernel.

Note that this cannot be safely MFC'd without a lot of compat shims due
to KBI changes, so I do not intend to merge it.

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.

f6def40e18 kern cons: introduce infrastructure for console grabbing by kernel
At the moment grab and ungrab methods of all console drivers are no-ops.

Current intended meaning of the calls is that the kernel takes control of
console input.  In the future the semantics may be extended to mean that
the calling thread takes full ownership of the console (e.g. console
output from other threads could be suspended).

Currently i386 and amd64 implement the ieeefp.h interface for

most other hardware.  Powerpc, sparc64, and ia64 partially implement
it and probably shouldn't, and other architectures don't implement it

74b9549a99 Fix kernel core dumps now that the kernel is using PBVM. The basic
problem to solve is that we don't have a fixed mapping from kernel
text to physical address so that libkvm can bootstrap itself. We
solve this by passing the physical address of the bootinfo structure
to the consumer as the entry point of the core file. This way,
libkvm can extract the PBVM page table information and locate the
kernel in the core file.
We also need to dump memory chunks of type loader data, because
those hold the kernel and the PBVM page table (among other things).

These conflicting requirements are handled by having the XIV handler

the dispatch code will do it. This allows handlers to send EOI before

This change is only now possible, because previously we would map
regions 6 and 7 with 256MB translations and on top of that had the
kernel mapped in region 7 using a wired translation. The introduction
of the PBVM moved the kernel into its own region and freed up region
7 and allowed us to revert to standard page-sized translations.

858ce69e22 Change the management of nested faults by switching to physical
addressing while reading or writing the trap frame. It's not
possible to guarantee that the one translation cache entry that
we depend on is not going to get purged by the CPU. We already
know that global shootdowns (ptc.g and/or ptc.ga) can (and will)
cause multiple TC entries to get purged and we initialize tried
to handle that by serializing kernel entry with these operations.
However, we need to serialize kernel exit as well.

But even if we can serialize, it appears that CPU threads within
a core can affect each other's TC entries beyond the global
shootdown. This would mean serializing any and all translatation
cache updates with the threads in a core with the kernel entry
and exit of any thread in that core. This is just too painful
and complicated.

Since we already properly coded for the 2 nested faults that we
can get, all we need to do is use those to obtain the physical
address of the trap frame, switch to physical mode and in that
way eliminate any further faults. The trap frame is already
aligned to 1KB boundaries to make sure we don't cross the page
boundary, this is safe to do.

We still need to serialize ptc.g or ptc.ga across CPUs because
the platform can only have 1 such operation outstanding at the
same time. We can now use a regular (spin) lock for this.

Also, it has been observed that we can get a nested TLB faults
for region 7 virtual addresses. This was unexpected. For now,
we enhance the nested TLB fault handler to deal with those as
well, but it needs to be understood.

215e258fd1 Switch to the event timers infrastructure. This includes:
o   Setting td_intr_frame to the XIVs trap frame because it's referenced
    by the ET event handler.
o   Signal EOI to the CPU before calling the registered XIV handlers.
    This prevents lost ITC interrupts, which cause starvation in one-shot
    mode.
o   Adding support for IPI_HARDCLOCK with corresponding per-CPU counters.
o   Have the APs call cpu_initclocks() so as to limited the scattering of
    clock related initialization. cpu_initclocks() calls the <self>_bsp()
    or <self>_ap() version accordingly.
o   Uncomment the ET clock handling in cpu_idle().
o   Update the DDB 'show pcpu' output for the new MD fields.
o   Entirely rewritten ia64_ih_clock(). Note that we don't create as many
    clock XIVs as we have CPUs, as is done on PowerPC. It doesn't scale.
    We can only have 240 XIVs and we can have more CPUs than that. There's
    a single intrcnt index for the cumulative clock ticks and we keep per
    CPU counts in the PCPU stats structure.
o   Register the ITC by hooking SI_SUB_CONFIGURE (2nd order).

Open issues:
o   Clock interrupts can still be lost. Some tweaking is still necessary.

Thanks to: mav@ for his support, feedback and explanations.

594e41652d Unblock the outgoing thread after we performed pmap_switch() to
switch the region registers. pmap_switch() returns the pmap for
which the region register are currently programmed, which needs
to be re-programmed on the CPU the ougoing thread gets switched
in.  This change does not noticibly change anything or fix known
bugs, but does give me a warm fuzzy feeling by being more
correct.
