The new macros are implemented in terms of SDT_PROBE_DEFINE and SDT_PROBE.
Probes defined in this way will appear under SDT provider named "sdt".
Parameter types are exposed via SDT_PROBE_ARGTYPE.
This is something that illumos does not have by default.
This kind of SDT probes is already present in ZFS code, so those probes
will now be available if KDTRACE_HOOKS options is enabled.
A potential future illumos compatibility enhancement is to encode a provider
name as a prefix in a probe name.

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,
* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.
This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).
Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

loaded and unloaded, also have sdt.ko register callbacks with kern_sdt.c
that will be called when a newly loaded KLD module adds more probes or
a module with probes is unloaded.
This fixes two issues: first, if a module with SDT probes was loaded after
sdt.ko was loaded, those new probes would not be available in DTrace.
Second, if a module with SDT probes was unloaded while sdt.ko was loaded,
the kernel would panic the next time DTrace had cause to try and do
anything with the no-longer-existent probes.
This makes it possible to create SDT probes in KLD modules, although there
are still two caveats: first, any SDT probes in a KLD module must be part
of a DTrace provider that is defined in that module. At present DTrace
only destroys probes when the provider is destroyed, so you can still
panic the system if a KLD module creates new probes in a provider from a
different module(including the kernel) and then unload the the first module.
Second, the system will panic if you unload a module containing SDT probes
while there is an active D script that has enabled those probes.

This is BSD licensed code written specifically for FreeBSD.
It initialises using SYSINIT so that the SDT provider, probe and
argument description linkage is done whenever a module is loaded,
regardless of whether the DTrace modules are loaded or not.
This file is optionally compiled into the kernel if the KDTRACE_HOOKS
option is defined.
