future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

Also explain the relationship and necessity of the virtio and virtio_pci

be replaced with a different interface (like MMIO) and the device

tunable by default.
This will allow GENERIC configurations to boot on small memory boxes, but
not require end users who want to use CTL to recompile their kernel. They
can simply set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 in loader.conf.
The eventual solution to the memory usage problem is to change the way
CTL allocates memory to be more configurable, but this should fix things
for small memory situations in the mean time.
UPDATING: Explain the change in the CTL configuration, and
how users can enable CTL if they would like to use
it.
sys/conf/options: Add a new option, CTL_DISABLE, that prevents CTL
from initializing.
ctl.c: If CTL_DISABLE is turned on, don't initialize.
i386/conf/GENERIC,
amd64/conf/GENERIC: Re-enable device ctl, and add the CTL_DISABLE
option.
precise time event generation. This greatly improves granularity of
callouts which are not anymore constrained to wait next tick to be
scheduled.
- Extend the callout KPI introducing a set of callout_reset_sbt* functions,
which take a sbintime_t as timeout argument. The new KPI also offers a
way for consumers to specify precision tolerance they allow, so that
callout can coalesce events and reduce number of interrupts as well as
potentially avoid scheduling a SWI thread.
- Introduce support for dispatching callouts directly from hardware
interrupt context, specifying an additional flag. This feature should be
used carefully, as long as interrupt context has some limitations
(e.g. no sleeping locks can be held).
- Enhance mechanisms to gather informations about callwheel, introducing
a new sysctl to obtain stats.
This change breaks the KBI. struct callout fields has been changed, in
particular 'int ticks' (4 bytes) has been replaced with 'sbintime_t'
(8 bytes) and another 'sbintime_t' field was added for precision.

fail interrupt handler, there seems to be either a broken batch of them
or a tendency to develop a defect which causes this interrupt to fire
inadvertedly. Given that apart from this problem these machines work
just fine, add a tunable allowing the setup of the power fail interrupt
to be disabled.
While at it, remove the DEBUGGER_ON_POWERFAIL compile time option and
make that behavior also selectable via the newly added tunable.
- Apparently, it's no longer a problem to call shutdown_nice(9) from within
an interrupt filter (some other drivers in the tree do the same). So
change the power fail interrupt from an handler in order to simplify the
code and get rid of a !INTR_MPSAFE handler.

bus_dmamap_load_buffer() routines so that they may be called from MI

The cam changes unify the bus_dmamap_load* handling in cam drivers.

* Illumos zfs issue #3035 [1] LZ4 compression support in ZFS.
LZ4 is a new high-speed BSD-licensed compression algorithm created
by Yann Collet that delivers very high compression and decompression
performance compared to lzjb (>50% faster on compression, >80% faster
on decompression and around 3x faster on compression of incompressible
data), while giving better compression ratio [1].
This version of LZ4 corresponds to upstream's [2] revision 85.
Please note that for obvious reasons this is not backward read
compatible. This means once a pool have LZ4 compressed data, these
data can no longer be read by older ZFS implementations.
Local changes:
- On-stack hash table disabled and using kernel slab allocator
instead, at this time. This requires larger kernel thread stack
for zio workers. This may change in the future should we adjusted
the zio workers' thread stack size.
- likely and unlikely will be undefined if they are already defined,
this is required for i386 XEN build.
- Removed De Bruijn sequence based __builtin_ctz family of builtins
in favor of the latter. Both GCC and clang supports these builtins.
- Changed the way the LZ4 code detects endianness.
- Manual pages modifications to mention the feature based on Illumos
counterpart.
- Boot loader changes to make it support LZ4 decompression.

right solution -- possibly this belongs in simplebus -- however,
it is sufficient to get the DE4 LED driver working.

Do so now. As such, any kernel configuration can now define linker
