(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

would sometimes cause a panic when the TCP activity to an affected machine
eventually slowed during a lull. The panic only occurs if INVARIANTS is compiled
into the kernel, and has laid dormant for some time as a result of INVARIANTS
being off by default except in FreeBSD-CURRENT.
Switch to atomic operations in the locations where the variable is changed.
Reads have not been updated to be protected by atomics, so there is a
possibility of accounting errors in any given calculation where the variable is

dependent memory attributes:
Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.
Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.
Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:
kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.
vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.
Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

The D-cache flushing added here was to deal with I-cache
incoherency observed on ia64. However, the problem was
in the implementation of pmap_enter_object() for ia64:
it was missing I-cache coherency logic for prefaulted
pages. After this got added in rev 195625, testing showed
that no D-cache flushing was required.
The SIGILL that was observed on Book-E (see commit log
for rev 192323) ended up not being related to I-cache
incoherency, but was found to be caused by bad memory.
This discovery further undermined the need for D-cache
flushing in the NFS I/O code, triggering the reversal.

The programmer was aware that alignment was not guaranteed in the
packed structure and used bzero() to NULL out the pointers.
However, on ia64, the compiler is quite agressive in finding ILP
and calls to bzero() are often replaced by simple assignments (i.e.
stores). Especially when the width or size in question corresponds
with a store instruction (i.e. st1, st2, st4 or st8).
The problem here is not a compiler bug. The address of the memory
to zero-out was given by '&packed->nvl_priv' and given the type of
the 'packed' pointer the compiler could assume proper alignment for
the replacement of bzero() with an 8-byte wide store to be valid.
The problem is with the programmer. The programmer knew that the
address did not have the alignment guarantees needed for a regular
assignment, but failed to inform the compiler of that fact. In
fact, the programmer told the compiler the opposite: alignment is
guaranteed.
The fix is to avoid using a pointer of type "nvlist_t *" and
instead use a "char *" pointer as the basis for calculating the
address. This tells the compiler that only 1-byte alignment can
be assumed and the compiler will either keep the bzero() call
or instead replace it with a sequence of byte-wise stores. Both
are valid.

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.
