542970fa2d Remove IPSEC from GENERIC due to performance issues
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.

Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.

Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

251a32b5b2 tun/tap: merge and rename to tuntap
tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).

This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp

[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).

ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.

(MFC commentary)

This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.

I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

3782136ff1 random(4): Restore availability tradeoff prior to r346250
As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default.  But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.

Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances.  This is considered a future work
item.

On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot.  But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.

This change adds several tunables and diagnostic sysctls, documented
thoroughly in UPDATING and sys/dev/random/random_infra.c.

ba57dad4b0 stack_protector: Add tunable to bypass random cookies
This is a stopgap measure to unbreak installer/VM/embedded boot issues
introduced (or at least exposed by) in r346250.

Add the new tunable, "security.stack_protect.permit_nonrandom_cookies," in
order to continue boot with insecure non-random stack cookies if the random
device is unavailable.

For now, enable it by default.  This is NOT safe.  It will be disabled by
default in a future revision.

There is follow-on work planned to use fast random sources (e.g., RDRAND on
x86 and DARN on Power) to seed when the early entropy file cannot be
provided, for whatever reason.  Please see D19928.

Some better hacks may be used to make the non-random __stack_chk_guard
slightly less predictable (from delphij@ and mjg@); those suggestions are
left for a future revision.  I think it may also be plausible to move stack
guard initialization far later in the boot process; potentially it could be
moved all the way to just before userspace is started.

359d22d4e9 Augment ino64 entry
When updating across this change (the introduction of ino64), the
"fast and loose" practice of rebooting to multiuser and then doing an
installworld fails with missing symbols. Recommend strongly that users
do this in single user mode. The multiuser case only ever works by
accident because its requirements are stronger than is supported
accross this change. It usually works because critical symbols don't
change their version number in libc, which wasn't the case here.

532dc17243 lualoader: Create a module blacklist, add DRM modules to it
This is a step in the process of easing migration into the new world order
of DRM drivers. Strongly encourage users towards loading DRM modules via
rc.conf(5) instead of loader.conf(5) by failing the load from loader(8).
Users so inclined may wipe out the blacklist via module_blacklist="" in
loader.conf(5), and it is expected that these modules will eventually be
removed from the blacklist. They may still be loaded as dependencies of
other modules or explicitly via the loader prompt, but this should not be a
major problem.

295506bf9c Turn back the clock just a little: make userboot.so always be 4th
Turns out there was a hidden dependency we hasn't counted upon.  The
host load /boot/userboot.so to boot the VMs it runs. This means that
the change to lua meant suddently that nobody could run their older
VMs because LUA wasn't in 10.0, last month's HardenedBSD, 11.2 or
whatever.  Even more than for the /boot/loader* binaries, we need a
good coexistance strategy for this. While that's being designed and
implemented, drop back to always 4th for userboot.so. This will fail
safe in all but the most extreme environments (but lua-only hacks
to .lua files won't be processes in VMs until we fix it).

b43c6042c3 Finalize the boot manager protocol support for next-stage boot
loading.

If we are booting in a conforming UEFI Boot Manager Environment, then
use the BootCurrent variable to find the BootXXXX we're using. Once we
find that, then if it contains more than one EFI_DEVICE_PATH in its
what to boot section, try to use the last one as the kernel to
load. This will also set the default root partition as well. If
there's only one path, or if there's an error along the way, assume
that nothing specific was specified and revert to the old
algorithm. If something was specified, but not found, then fail the
boot. Otherwise you that, specific thing. On FreeBSD, this can be set
using efibootmgr -l <loader> -k <kernel>. We try a few variations of
kernel to cope with the fact that UEFI comes from a DOS world where
paths might be upper case and/or contain back-slashes.

Note: In an ideal world, we'd work out where we are in chain loading
by looking at the passed-in image handle and doing name
matching. However, that's unreliable since at least boot1.efi booted
images don't have that, hence the assumption that loader.efi needs to
load the last thing on the list, if possible.

The reason we fail for something specific is so that we can fully
participate in the UEFI Boot Manager Protocol and fail over to the
next item in the list of BootOrder choices when something goes wrong
at this stage.

This implements was was talked about in freebsd-arch@ last year
https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3576+0+archive/2017/freebsd-arch/20171022.freebsd-arch

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aK9IqF-60JPEbUeSAUAkYjF2W_8EnmczFs6RqCT90Jg/edit#
although one or two minor details may have been modified in this
implementation to make it work, and the ZFS MEDIA PATH extension isn't
implemented. This does not yet move things to ESP:\efi\freebsd\loader.efi.

44314c3509 kern_environment: Give the static environment a chance to disable MD env
This variable has been given the name "loader_env.disabled" as it's the
primary way most people will have an MD environment. This restores the
previously-default behavior of ignoring the loader(8) environment, which may
be useful for vendor distributions or other scenarios where inheriting the
loader environment may be considered a security issue or potentially
breaking of a more locked-down environment.

As the change to config(5) indicates, disabling the loader environment
should not be a choice made lightly since it may provide ACPI hints and
other useful things that the system can rely on to boot.

An UPDATING entry has been added to mention an upgrade path for those that
may have relied on the previous behavior.

f38b68ae8a Make struct xinpcb and friends word-size independent.
Replace size_t members with ksize_t (uint64_t) and pointer members
(never used as pointers in userspace, but instead as unique
idenitifiers) with kvaddr_t (uint64_t). This makes the structs
identical between 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs.

On 64-bit bit systems, the ABI is maintained. On 32-bit systems,
this is an ABI breaking change. The ABI of most of these structs
was previously broken in r315662.  This also imposes a small API
change on userspace consumers who must handle kernel pointers
becoming virtual addresses.

Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free

7cafeaa1fd Add Lua as a scripting langauge to /boot/loader
liblua glues the lua run time into the boot loader. It implements all
the runtime routines that lua expects. In addition, it has a few
standard 'C' headers that nueter various aspects of the LUA build that
are too specific to lua to be in libsa. Many refinements from the
original code to improve implementation and the number of included lua
libraries. Use int64_t for lua_Number. Have "/boot/lua" be the default
module path. Numerous cleanups from the original GSoC project,
including hacking libsa to allow lua to be built with only one change
outside luaconf.h.

Add the final bit of lua glue to bring in liblua and plug into the
multiple interpreter framework, previously committed.

Add LOADER_LUA option, currently off by default.

Presently, this is an experimental option. One must opt-in to using
this by defining WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH. It's been
lightly tested, so keep a backup copy of your old loader handy.
The menu code, coming in the next commit, hasn't been exhaustively
tested. A LUA boot loader is 60k larger than a FORTH one, which is
80k larger than a no-interpreter one. Subtle changes in size
may tip things past some subtle limit (the binary is ~430k now
when built with LUA). A future version may offer coexistance.

Bump FreeBSD version to 1200058 to mark the milestone.

The incompatibility is due to the fact that the flowid isn't know

the hash calculation method changing and hence a stream being
incorrectly split across multiple interfaces during normal
operation.

This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf:

This can be disabled by putting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, not

The purpose of this rather than simply flipping the default of AUTO_OBJ to yes
is to avoid hassling users with auto.obj.mk failures if the wanted OBJDIR is
not writable. It will fallback to writing to the source directory like it does
today if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not writable.

The act of enabling MK_AUTO_OBJ disables all 'make obj' treewalks since

This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>.  This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build.  It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.

The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

Relnotes:	yes (don't note UNIFIED_OBJDIR option since it will be removed)

e5f5a85203 Update UPDATING
- Remove FreeBSD 4.x of building the kernel.
While it might technically work, it is better to
document the 'correct' way than how to shoot oneself
in the foot

- Remove reference to CVS -P for src.

5bd47cc56f Change native-xtools to not install by default; add a native-xtools-install.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.

The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

0c059da3e1 When building multiple kernels using KERNCONF, non-existent KERNCONF
files will produce an error and buildkernel will fail. Previously missing
KERNCONF files silently failed giving no indication as to why, only to
subsequently discover during installkernel that the desired kernel was
never built in the first place.

This is a rework of r302865.

This is the correct patch.

71cd87c66c Remove spaces from CTL devices' default serial numbers
It's awkward to have spaces in CAM device serial numbers. That leads to
such things as device nodes named "/dev/diskid/MYSERIAL%20%20%201". Better
to replace the spaces with "0"s. This change only affects the default
serial numbers for users who don't provide their own.
