5f30e9f144 Merge r247814 from x86 modulo whitespace bug:
Turn on the CTL disable 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.

d11db422c6 Re-enable CTL in GENERIC on i386 and amd64, but turn on the CTL disable
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.

f77596bc52 Disable the ctl driver in GENERIC.
It unfortunately steals a fair chunk of RAM at startup even if it's not
actively used, which prevents FreeBSD VMs of 128MB from successfully

5cc3ac5902 Switch the entire IPv4 stack to keep the IP packet header
in network byte order. Any host byte order processing is
done in local variables and host byte order values are
never[1] written to a packet.

  After this change a packet processed by the stack isn't
modified at all[2] except for TTL.

  After this change a network stack hacker doesn't need to
scratch his head trying to figure out what is the byte order
at the given place in the stack.

[1] One exception still remains. The raw sockets convert host
byte order before pass a packet to an application. Probably
this would remain for ages for compatibility.

[2] The ip_input() still subtructs header len from ip->ip_len,
but this is planned to be fixed soon.

or to the project branch:

- All packets in NETISR_IP queue are in net byte order.
  - ip_input() is entered in net byte order and converts packet

  - ip_output() is entered in host byte order and converts packet
    to net byte order right _before_ processing pfil(9) hooks.
  - ip_fragment() accepts and emits packet in net byte order.
  - ip_forward(), ip_mloopback() use host byte order (untouched actually).
  - ip_fastforward() no longer modifies packet at all (except ip_ttl).
  - Swapping of byte order there and back removed from the following modules:
    pf(4), ipfw(4), enc(4), if_bridge(4).
  - Swapping of byte order added to ipfilter(4), based on __FreeBSD_version
  - __FreeBSD_version bumped.

5190d38ee3 Merge the projects/pf/head branch, that was worked on for last six months,
into head. The most significant achievements in the new code:

 o Fine grained locking, thus much better performance.
 o Fixes to many problems in pf, that were specific to FreeBSD port.

New code doesn't have that many ifdefs and much less OpenBSDisms, thus
is more attractive to our developers.

projects/pf/head branch. And for reference, here is exact list of

1aad0004ee Introduce VOP_UNP_BIND(), VOP_UNP_CONNECT(), and VOP_UNP_DETACH()
operations for setting and accessing vnode's v_socket field.

The operations are necessary to implement proper unix socket handling
on layered file systems like nullfs(5).

This change fixes the long standing issue with nullfs(5) being in that
unix sockets did not work between lower and upper layers: if we bound
to a socket on the lower layer we could connect only to the lower
path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect only to the
upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the lower and
the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

27a36f6ac8 A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

on vfc_name to set vfc_typenum, so that vfc_typenum doesn't
change when file systems are loaded in different orders. This
keeps NFS file handles from changing, for file systems that
use vfc_typenum in their fsid. This change is controlled via
a loader.conf variable called vfs.typenumhash, since vfc_typenum
will change once when this is enabled. It defaults to 1 for
9.0, but will default to 0 when MFC'd to stable/8.

74204e61b2 remove code for dynamic offlining/onlining of CPUs on x86
The code has definitely been broken for SCHED_ULE, which is a default
scheduler.  It may have been broken for SCHED_4BSD in more subtle ways,
e.g. with manually configured CPU affinities and for interrupt devilery
purposes.
We still provide a way to disable individual CPUs or all hyperthreading
"twin" CPUs before SMP startup.  See the UPDATING entry for details.

Interaction between building CPU topology and disabling CPUs still
remains fuzzy: topology is first built using all availble CPUs and then
the disabled CPUs should be "subtracted" from it.  That doesn't work
well if the resulting topology becomes non-uniform.

This work is done in cooperation with Attilio Rao who in addition to
reviewing also provided parts of code.

66b402e198 This patch changes head so that the default NFS client is now the new
NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.

278d761d73 o Flesh out the generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control
support in mii(4):
  - Merge generic flow control advertisement (which can be enabled by
    passing by MIIF_DOPAUSE to mii_attach(9)) and parsing support from
    NetBSD into mii_physubr.c and ukphy_subr.c. Unlike as in NetBSD,
    IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care
    mask" but instead as a media specific option this. This has the
    following advantages:
    o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be
      turned on and off via ifconfig(8) with the default typically
      being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
      control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
      changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for
      flow control that behaved that way without breaking POLA)
    o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
      with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,
      like it's the case with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4),
      by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE
    o the available combinations of media options are readily available
      from the `ifconfig -m` output
  - Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
    and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
    these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
  - Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
    the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
    applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
  - Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
    actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
    the PHY specific implementations).
  - Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
    is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
  e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
  instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
  these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
  support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
  set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
  i.e. typically only for copper.
o Switch brgphy(4), ciphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to report and
  set IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER instead of via IFF_LINK0
  and some IFM_FLAGn.
o Switch brgphy(4) to add at least the the supported copper media based on
  the contents of the BMSR via mii_phy_add_media() instead of hardcoding
  them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
  causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
  brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
  contents of the BMSR though.
o Let brgphy(4) set IFM_1000_T master mode on all supported PHY and not
  just BCM5701. Apparently this was a misinterpretation of a workaround
  in the Linux tg3 driver; BCM5701 seem to require RGPHY_1000CTL_MSE and
  BRGPHY_1000CTL_MSC to be set when configuring autonegotiation but
  this doesn't mean we can't set these as well on other PHYs for manual
  media selection.
o Let ukphy_status() report IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER so
  IFM_1000_T master mode support now is generally available with all PHY
  drivers.
o Don't let e1000phy(4) set master/slave bits for IFM_1000_SX as it's
  not applicable there.

df9f23bf3f This commit marks the first formal contribution of the "Five New TCP Congestion
Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details
about the project are available at: http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/5cc/

- Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control
  algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection
  state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which
  allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The
  TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to
  programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively
  from within an application at runtime.

- Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as
  possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should
  allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP)
  in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set
  of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport
  protocols.

- Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack
  and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and
  recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based
  congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss
  and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the
  stack.

- Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code
  and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering
  from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode.

- Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and
  massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will
  remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of
  additional different algorithms will become available in the near future.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code
  that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required.

ab8bbcbaf3 Split $ipv6_prefer into $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively.  When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first.  If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table.  If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.

When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.

The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO.

17349bffe4 Add BSD grep to the base system and make it our default grep.
Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
              lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
              BSD license.

TODO:         Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
              significant for bigger searches.  The reason is complex, the
              most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
              optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
              First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
              TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
              reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks.  In
              the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
              possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.

1dc1263413 On Alan's advice, rather than do a wholesale conversion on a single
architecture from page queue lock to a hashed array of page locks
(based on a patch by Jeff Roberson), I've implemented page lock
support in the MI code and have only moved vm_page's hold_count
out from under page queue mutex to page lock. This changes
pmap_extract_and_hold on all pmaps.

e14ccde629 WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there
are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
WITH_CTF=yes").

Additional (related) changes:
 - propagate WITH_CTF to module builds
 - do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway
   (at least according to the man page of ld)
 - do not add -g to CFLAGS unconditionally
   we need to have a look if it is really needed (IMO not) or if there
   is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used

Note: ctfconvert / ctfmerge lines will not appear in the build output,
to protect the innocent (those which do not build with WITH_CTF would
see the shell-test and may think WITH_CTF is used).

fde84f320b Introduce the new kernel thread called "deadlock resolver".
While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is
reported in this 17 months old presentation e-mail:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-August/008452.html

In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq

rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

a53dc19376 Convert syscons on i386 to TERM=xterm.
TEKEN_XTERM is now gone. Because we always use xterm mode now, we only

f49c0a7c60 Switch the default terminal emulation style to xterm for most platforms.
Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:

- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
  regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
  UTF-8.

Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.

I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.

IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):

- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
  send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
  TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
  You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
  virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

5dd8a59580 Fix several logic bugs in the previous IPv6 variable change and
re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility.  From
UPDATING:

 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
    for IPv4.  For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
    Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.

    Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
    understand what you are doing.  It is not needed in most cases.

    $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
    they are obsolete.

 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete.  Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
    "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.

    If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
    all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
    $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  These are for backward compatibility.

 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added.  If NO, IPv6
    functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
    $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
    and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
    is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
    Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
    disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
    using ifconfig(8) like:

         ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled

    If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
    IPv6-preferred.

    The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.

 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
    define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  The rc(8)
    scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
    UP.  The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
    (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).

e85ca71aad * Completely Remove the option STOP_NMI from the kernel. This option
has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions.  This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding

This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.

57ca4583e7 Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(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.

f53c1c309d Rework the credential code to support larger values of NGROUPS and
NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024
and 1023 respectively.  (Previously they were equal, but under a close
reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it
is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.)

The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member
cr_groups from a static array to a pointer.  Do the equivalent in
kinfo_proc.

Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating
a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists
respectively.  Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating
groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list
to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary.  In the future,
crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting
the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a
binary search.

Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application
ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is
always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as
NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups.  When feasible, truncate
the group list rather than generating an error.

Minor changes:
  - Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember().
  - Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0].
  - Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since
    they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

256667d4fb Introduce support for adaptive spinning in lockmgr.
Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way.  In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops .  Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.

Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL.  The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).

Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

6448f34585 Introduce a mechanism for detecting calls from outbound path of the
network stack when reentering the inbound path from netgraph, and
force queueing of mbufs at the outbound netgraph node.

The mechanism relies on two components.  First, in netgraph nodes
where outbound path of the network stack calls into netgraph, the
current thread has to be appropriately marked using the new
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_REF() macro before proceeding to call further
into the netgraph topology, and unmarked using the
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_UNREF() macro before returning to the caller.
Second, netgraph nodes which can potentially reenter the network
stack in the inbound path have to mark their inbound hooks using
NG_HOOK_SET_TO_INBOUND() macro.  The netgraph framework will then
detect when there is a danger of a call graph looping back from
outbound to inbound path via netgraph, and defer handing off the
mbufs to the "inbound" node to a worker thread with a clean stack.

In this first pass only the most obvious netgraph nodes have been
updated to ensure no outbound to inbound calls can occur.  Nodes
such as ng_ipfw, ng_gif etc. should be further examined whether a
potential for outbound to inbound call looping exists.

This commit changes the layout of struct thread, but due to
__FreeBSD_version number shortage a version bump has been omitted
at this time, nevertheless kernel and modules have to be rebuilt.

8b1f38241a Introduce an infrastructure for dismantling vnet instances.
Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor
functions to clean up and release per-module state.  The destructor
mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future
equivalent command which will be provided via the new jail framework.

While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions,
many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even
worse) failing to stop all running timers.  Many of such issues are
already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in
smaller incremental commits.

Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw
and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this
change should have no impact on nooptions VIMAGE builds, since vnet
destructors can only be called in VIMAGE kernels.  Moreover,
destructor functions should be in general compiled in only in
options VIMAGE builds, except for kernel modules which can be safely
kldunloaded at run time.

a013e0afcb Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for

39b6dc8ba2 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod.  SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have

NOTE WELL:
 * This code hasn't been tested against real MLDv2 queriers
   (yet), although the on-wire protocol has been verified in Wireshark.
 * There are a few unresolved issues in the socket layer APIs to
   do with scope ID propagation.
 * There is a LOR present in ip6_output()'s use of
   in6_setscope() which needs to be resolved. See comments in mld6.c.
   This is believed to be benign and can't be avoided for the moment
   without re-introducing an indirect netisr.

has been sponsored by a third party.

76f193cd69 Introduce a number of changes to the MROUTING code.
This is purely a forwarding plane cleanup; no control plane
code is involved.

Summary:
 * Split IPv4 and IPv6 MROUTING support. The static compile-time
   kernel option remains the same, however, the modules may now
   be built for IPv4 and IPv6 separately as ip_mroute_mod and
   ip6_mroute_mod.
 * Clean up the IPv4 multicast forwarding code to use BSD queue
   and hash table constructs. Don't build our own timer abstractions
   when ratecheck() and timevalclear() etc will do.
 * Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface
   table (VIF) as sysctls, to reduce netstat's dependence on libkvm
   for this information for running kernels.
   * bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
 * Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,
   net.inet.ip.mfchashsize (defaults to 256).
 * Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
 * Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
   These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
 * Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
 * Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
   The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
   moved to mif6 for the time being.
 * More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

v4 path tested using ports/net/mcast-tools.
v6 changes are mostly mechanical locking and *have not* been tested.
As these changes partially break some kernel ABIs, they will not
be MFCed. There is a lot more work to be done here.

ec826ad5c7 This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
   possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
  the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
  active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
  provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
  me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

cc3116a938 Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

  The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
  make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
  device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
  in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
  TTY buffers.

  If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
  (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
  implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

  With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
  the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
  where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
  the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
  used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

  The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
  posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

  One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
  to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
  Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
  used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

ac1e4103b9 Our fts(3) API, as inherited from 4.4BSD, suffers from integer
fields in FTS and FTSENT structs being too narrow.  In addition,
the narrow types creep from there into fts.c.  As a result, fts(3)
consumers, e.g., find(1) or rm(1), can't handle file trees an ordinary
user can create, which can have security implications.

To fix the historic implementation of fts(3), OpenBSD and NetBSD
have already changed <fts.h> in somewhat incompatible ways, so we
are free to do so, too.  This change is a superset of changes from
the other BSDs with a few more improvements.  It doesn't touch
fts(3) functionality; it just extends integer types used by it to
match modern reality and the C standard.

Here are its points:

o For C object sizes, use size_t unless it's 100% certain that
  the object will be really small.  (Note that fts(3) can construct
  pathnames _much_ longer than PATH_MAX for its consumers.)

o Avoid the short types because on modern platforms using them
  results in larger and slower code.  Change shorts to ints as
  follows:

	- For variables than count simple, limited things like states,
	  use plain vanilla `int' as it's the type of choice in C.

	- For a limited number of bit flags use `unsigned' because signed
	  bit-wise operations are implementation-defined, i.e., unportable,
	  in C.

o For things that should be at least 64 bits wide, use long long
  and not int64_t, as the latter is an optional type.  See
  FTSENT.fts_number aka FTS.fts_bignum.  Extending fts_number `to
  satisfy future needs' is pointless because there is fts_pointer,
  which can be used to link to arbitrary data from an FTSENT.
  However, there already are fts(3) consumers that require fts_number,
  or fts_bignum, have at least 64 bits in it, so we must allow for them.

o For the tree depth, use `long'.  This is a trade-off between making
  this field too wide and allowing for 64-bit inode numbers and/or
  chain-mounted filesystems.  On the one hand, `long' is almost
  enough for 32-bit filesystems on a 32-bit platform (our ino_t is
  uint32_t now).  On the other hand, platforms with a 64-bit (or
  wider) `long' will be ready for 64-bit inode numbers, as well as
  for several 32-bit filesystems mounted one under another.  Note
  that fts_level has to be signed because -1 is a magic value for it,
  FTS_ROOTPARENTLEVEL.

o For the `nlinks' local var in fts_build(), use `long'.  The logic
  in fts_build() requires that `nlinks' be signed, but our nlink_t
  currently is uint16_t.  Therefore let's make the signed var wide
  enough to be able to represent 2^16-1 in pure C99, and even 2^32-1
  on a 64-bit platform.  Perhaps the logic should be changed just
  to use nlink_t, but it can be done later w/o breaking fts(3) ABI
  any more because `nlinks' is just a local var.

This commit also inludes supporting stuff for the fts change:

o Preserve the old versions of fts(3) functions through libc symbol
versioning because the old versions appeared in all our former releases.

o Bump __FreeBSD_version just in case.  There is a small chance that
some ill-written 3-rd party apps may fail to build or work correctly
if compiled after this change.

o Update the fts(3) manpage accordingly.  In particular, remove
references to fts_bignum, which was a FreeBSD-specific hack to work
around the too narrow types of FTSENT members.  Now fts_number is
at least 64 bits wide (long long) and fts_bignum is an undocumented
alias for fts_number kept around for compatibility reasons.  According
to Google Code Search, the only big consumers of fts_bignum are in
our own source tree, so they can be fixed easily to use fts_number.

o Mention the change in src/UPDATING.

0d78b28c6e Note change in the supported upgrade path. Prior to this 5.3-release
and newer were supported upgrade paths to -current.  After today's
commits, 6.0-RELEASE and newer is supported for jumping to current.
Make that clear in the UPDATING entry.  For the pedants out there,
upgrading from FreeBSD_version 600029 and newer should still work.
This represents a point from May 29, 2005 forward.  The prior date was
October 16th 2004.

825e639df6 Let sunkbd(4) emulate an AT keyboard by default.
This has the following benefits:
- allows to use the AT keyboard maps in share/syscons/keymaps with
  sunkbd(4),
- allows to use kbdmux(4) with sunkbd(4),
- allows Sun RS232 keyboards to be configured and used the same
  way as Sun USB keyboards driven by ukbd(4) (which also does AT
  keyboard emulation) with X.Org, putting an end to the problem
  of native support for the former in X.Org being broken over and
  over again.

9ce0055163 Add ABI backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of
the PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was broken
with the introduction of PCI domain support.
As the size of struct pci_conf_io wasn't changed with that commit,
this unfortunately requires the ABI of PCIOCGETCONF to be broken
again in order to be able to provide backwards compatibility to
the old version of that IOCTL.
