The size of the buffer is given by the location specified by

vn_rdwr_inchunks() is used mainly for elf core dumps, and elf sections

This gives a surprisingly large speedup for core dumps -- from 50 to

sleep queue interface:
- Sleep queues attempt to merge some of the benefits of both sleep queues
and condition variables. Having sleep qeueus in a hash table avoids
having to allocate a queue head for each wait channel. Thus, struct cv
has shrunk down to just a single char * pointer now. However, the
hash table does not hold threads directly, but queue heads. This means
that once you have located a queue in the hash bucket, you no longer have
to walk the rest of the hash chain looking for threads. Instead, you have
a list of all the threads sleeping on that wait channel.
- Outside of the sleepq code and the sleep/cv code the kernel no longer
differentiates between cv's and sleep/wakeup. For example, calls to
abortsleep() and cv_abort() are replaced with a call to sleepq_abort().
Thus, the TDF_CVWAITQ flag is removed. Also, calls to unsleep() and
cv_waitq_remove() have been replaced with calls to sleepq_remove().
- The sched_sleep() function no longer accepts a priority argument as
sleep's no longer inherently bump the priority. Instead, this is soley
a propery of msleep() which explicitly calls sched_prio() before
blocking.
- The TDF_ONSLEEPQ flag has been dropped as it was never used. The
associated TDF_SET_ONSLEEPQ and TDF_CLR_ON_SLEEPQ macros have also been
dropped and replaced with a single explicit clearing of td_wchan.
TD_SET_ONSLEEPQ() would really have only made sense if it had taken
the wait channel and message as arguments anyway. Now that that only
happens in one place, a macro would be overkill.

to queue threads sleeping on a wait channel similar to how turnstiles are
used to queue threads waiting for a lock. This subsystem will be used as
the backend for sleep/wakeup and condition variables initially. Eventually
it will also be used to replace the ithread-specific iwait thread
inhibitor.
Sleep queues are also not locked by sched_lock, so this splits sched_lock
up a bit further increasing concurrency within the scheduler. Sleep queues
also natively support timeouts on sleeps and interruptible sleeps allowing
for the reduction of a lot of duplicated code between the sleep/wakeup and
condition variable implementations. For more details on the sleep queue
implementation, check the comments in sys/sleepqueue.h and

This is what we came here for: Hang dev_t's from their cdevsw,

better than we used to:
Hold a cdevsw reference around all entrances into the device driver,
this will be necessary to safely determine when we can unload driver
code.
Hold a dev_t reference while the device is open.
KASSERT that we do not enter the driver on a non-referenced dev_t.
Remove old D_NAG code, anonymous dev_t's are not a problem now.
When destroy_dev() is called on a referenced dev_t, move it to

Check that cdevsw->d_version is correct. If not, set all methods
to the dead_*() methods to prevent entrance into driver. Print

This commit adds a couple of functions for pseudodrivers to use for
implementing cloning in a manner we will be able to lock down (shortly).
Basically what happens is that pseudo drivers get a way to ask for
"give me the dev_t with this unit number" or alternatively "give
me a dev_t with the lowest guaranteed free unit number" (there is
unfortunately a lot of non-POLA in the exact numeric value of this
number, just live with it for now)
Managing the unit number space this way removes the need to use
rman(9) to do so in the drivers this greatly simplifies the code in
the drivers because even using rman(9) they still needed to manage
their dev_t's anyway.
I have taken the if_tun, if_tap, snp and nmdm drivers through the
mill, partly because they (ab)used makedev(), but mostly because
together they represent three different problems for device-cloning:
if_tun and snp is the plain case: just give me a device.
if_tap has two kinds of devices, with a flag for device type.
nmdm has paired devices (ala pty) can you can clone either of them.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.

would allocate two 'struct pipe's from the pipe zone, and malloc a
mutex.
- Create a new "struct pipepair" object holding the two 'struct
pipe' instances, struct mutex, and struct label reference. Pipe
structures now have a back-pointer to the pipe pair, and a
'pipe_present' flag to indicate whether the half has been
closed.
- Perform mutex init/destroy in zone init/destroy, avoiding
reallocating the mutex for each pipe. Perform most pipe structure
setup in zone constructor.
- VM memory mappings for pageable buffers are still done outside of
the UMA zone.
- Change MAC API to speak 'struct pipepair' instead of 'struct pipe',
update many policies. MAC labels are also handled outside of the
UMA zone for now. Label-only policy modules don't have to be
recompiled, but if a module is recompiled, its pipe entry points
will need to be updated. If a module actually reached into the
pipe structures (unlikely), that would also need to be modified.
These changes substantially simplify failure handling in the pipe
code as there are many fewer possible failure modes.
On half-close, pipes no longer free the 'struct pipe' for the closed
half until a full-close takes place. However, VM mapped buffers
are still released on half-close.
Some code refactoring is now possible to clean up some of the back
references, etc; this patch attempts not to change the structure
of most of the pipe implementation, only allocation/free code
paths, so as to avoid introducing bugs (hopefully).
This cuts about 8%-9% off the cost of sequential pipe allocation
and free in system call tests on UP and SMP in my micro-benchmarks.
May or may not make a difference in macro-benchmarks, but doing
less work is good.

- witness_lock() is split into two pieces: witness_checkorder() and
witness_lock(). Witness_checkorder() determines if acquiring a specified
lock at the time it is called would result in a lock order. It
optionally adds a new lock order relationship as well. witness_lock()
updates witness's data structures to assume that a lock has been acquired
by stick a new lock instance in the appropriate lock instance list.
- The mutex and sx lock functions now call checkorder() prior to trying to
acquire a lock and continue to call witness_lock() after the acquire is
completed. This will let witness catch a deadlock before it happens
rather than trying to do so after the threads have deadlocked (i.e. never
actually report it).
- A new function witness_defineorder() has been added that adds a lock
order between two locks at runtime without having to acquire the locks.
If the lock order cannot be added it will return an error. This function
is available to programmers via the WITNESS_DEFINEORDER() macro which
accepts either two mutexes or two sx locks as its arguments.
- A few simple wrapper macros were added to allow developers to call
witness_checkorder() anywhere as a way of enforcing locking assertions
in code that might acquire a certain lock in some situations. The
macros are: witness_check_{mutex,shared_sx,exclusive_sx} and take an
appropriate lock as the sole argument.
- The code to remove a lock instance from a lock list in witness_unlock()
was unnested by using a goto to vastly improve the readability of this
function.

mutex profiling code. As with existing mutex profiling, measurement
is done with respect to mtx_lock() instances in the code, as opposed
to specific mutexes. In particular, measure two things:
(1) Lock contention. How often did this mtx_lock() call get made and
have to sleep (or almost sleep) waiting for the lock. This helps
identify the "victims" of contention.
(2) Hold contention. How often, while the lock was held by a thread
as a result of this mtx_lock(), did another thread try to acquire
the same mutex. This helps identify the causes of contention.
I'm currently exploring adding measurement of "time waited for the
lock", but the current implementation has proven useful to me so far
so I figured I'd commit it so others could try it out. Note that this
increases the size of mutexes when MUTEX_PROFILING is enabled, so you
might find you need to further bump UMA_BOOT_PAGES. Fixes welcome.

The uidinfo code appears to be MPSAFE, and is referenced without Giant
elsewhere. While this grab of Giant was only made in fairly rare
circumstances (actually GC'ing on refcount==0), grabbing Giant here
potentially introduces lock order issues with any locks held by the
caller. So this probably won't help performance much unless you change
credentials a lot in an application, and leave a lot of file descriptors
and cached credentials around. However, it simplifies locking down
consumers of the credential interfaces.

to a new prison_complete() task run by a task queue. This removes
a requirement for grabbing Giant in crfree(). Embed the 'struct task'
in 'struct prison' so that we don't have to allocate memory from
prison_free() (which means we also defer the FREE()).
With this change, I believe grabbing Giant from crfree() can now be
removed, but need to check the uidinfo code paths.
To avoid header pollution, move the definition of 'struct task'
to _task.h, and recursively include from taskqueue.h and jail.h; much
preferably to all files including jail.h picking up a requirement to
include taskqueue.h.

In case no real/physical IEEE 802 address is available, both the expired
"draft-leach-uuids-guids-01" (section "4. Node IDs when no IEEE 802
network card is available") and RFC 2518 (section "6.4.1 Node Field
Generation Without the IEEE 802 Address") recommend (quoted from RFC
2518):
"The ideal solution is to obtain a 47 bit cryptographic quality random
number, and use it as the low 47 bits of the node ID, with the _most_
significant bit of the first octet of the node ID set to 1. This bit
is the unicast/multicast bit, which will never be set in IEEE 802
addresses obtained from network cards; hence, there can never be a
conflict between UUIDs generated by machines with and without network
cards."
Unfortunately, this incorrectly explains how to implement this and
the FreeBSD UUID generator code inherited this generation bug from
the broken reference code in the standards draft. They should instead
specify the "_least_ significant bit of the first octet of the node ID"
as the multicast bit in a memory and hexadecimal string representation
of a 48-bit IEEE 802 MAC address.
This standards bug arised from a false interpretation, as the multicast
bit is actually the _most_ significant bit in IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet)
_transmission order_ of an IEEE 802 MAC address. The standards authors
forgot that the bitwise order of an _octet_ from a MAC address _memory_
and hexadecimal string representation is still always from left (MSB,
bit 7) to right (LSB, bit 0).
Fortunately, this UUID generation bug could have occurred on systems
without any Ethernet NICs only.
Presumably, at some point, you had to include jail.h if you included
proc.h, but that is no longer required.
Result of: self injury involving adding something to struct prison

ithread_remove_handler() may fail to remove the interrupt handler if
it decides to let the ithread do the removal. The problem is that during
boot "cold" is set, which causes msleep() to return immediately. This
will cause ithread_remove_handler() to fail to wait for the ithread
to do the removal from the handler TAILQ before freeing the handler
back to the heap. Bad things will happen when some other user of the
TAILQ, such as ithread_add_handler() or the actual ithread attempts to use
the freed handler. Fix the problem by forcing ithread_remove_handler()
to do the actual removal itself if the "cold" flag is set.
