e05714ba70 Reverse the logic for ADAPTIVE_SX option and enable it by default.
Introduce for this operation the reverse NO_ADAPTIVE_SX option.
The flag SX_ADAPTIVESPIN to be passed to sx_init_flags(9) gets suppressed
and the new flag, offering the reversed logic, SX_NOADAPTIVE is added.

Additively implements adaptive spininning for sx held in shared mode.
The spinning limit can be handled through sysctls in order to be tuned
while the code doesn't reach the release, after which time they should
be dropped probabilly.

This change has made been necessary by recent benchmarks where it does
improve concurrency of workloads in presence of high contention
(ie. ZFS).

KPI breakage is documented by __FreeBSD_version bumping, manpage and
UPDATING updates.

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
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

48f748dc29 V_irtualize the if_clone framework, thus allowing for clonable ifnets
to optionally have overlapping unit numbers if attached in different
vnets.

At this stage if_loop is the only clonable ifnet class that has been
extended to allow for such overlapping allocation of unit numbers, i.e.
in each vnet it is possible to have a lo0 interface.  Other clonable ifnet
classes remain to operate with traditional semantics, i.e. each instance
of a clonable ifnet will be assigned a globally unique unit number,
regardless in which vnet such an ifnet becomes instantiated.

While here, garbage collect unused _lo_list field in struct vnet_net,
as well as improve indentation for #defines in sys/net/vnet.h.

The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore bump
__FreeBSD_version.

This change has no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE kernel builds.

fb1b2af807 MFV of tzcode2009e:
Upgrade of the tzcode from 2004a to 2009e.

Changes are numerous, but include...

- New format of the output of zic, which supports both 32 and 64
  bit time_t formats.

- zdump on 64 bit platforms will actually produce some output instead
  of doing nothing for a looooooooong time.

- linux_base-fX, with X >= at least 8, will work without problems related
  to the local time again.

The original patch, based on the 2008e, has been running for a long
time on both my laptop and desktop machine and have been tested by
other people.

After the installation of this code and the running of zic(8), you
need to run tzsetup(8) again to install the new datafile.

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
been deleted.

32a71137f0 Bite the bullet, and make the IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 mega-commit:
import from p4 bms_netdev.  Summary of changes:

 * Connect netinet6/in6_mcast.c to build.
   The legacy KAME KPIs are mostly preserved.
 * Eliminate now dead code from ip6_output.c.
   Don't do mbuf bingo, we are not going to do RFC 2292 style
   CMSG tricks for multicast options as they are not required
   by any current IPv6 normative reference.
 * Refactor transports (UDP, raw_ip6) to do own mcast filtering.
   SCTP, TCP unaffected by this change.
 * Add ip6_msource, in6_msource structs to in6_var.h.
 * Hookup mld_ifinfo state to in6_ifextra, allocate from
   domifattach path.
 * Eliminate IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI(), it is no longer referenced.
   Kernel consumers which need this should use in6m_lookup().
 * Refactor IPv6 socket group memberships to use a vector (like IPv4).
 * Update ifmcstat(8) for IPv6 SSM.
 * Add witness lock order for IN6_MULTI_LOCK.
 * Move IN6_MULTI_LOCK out of lower ip6_output()/ip6_input() paths.
 * Introduce IP6STAT_ADD/SUB/INC/DEC as per rwatson's IPv4 cleanup.
 * Update carp(4) for new IPv6 SSM KPIs.
 * Virtualize ip6_mrouter socket.
   Changes mostly localized to IPv6 MROUTING.
 * Don't do a local group lookup in MROUTING.
 * Kill unused KAME prototypes in6_purgemkludge(), in6_restoremkludge().
 * Preserve KAME DAD timer jitter behaviour in MLDv1 compatibility mode.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.
 * Update UPDATING.

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.

This work was mostly derived from the IGMPv3 implementation, and
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.

historical relic, and are no longer appropriate for either LAN or WAN

from socket buffer fill events is common, and sequence numbers wrap
quickly enough that data corruption is possible.  TCP solves both of
these problems without imposing significant overhead.

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.

d60b8a3096 Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we can
support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

ffd77d9ba5 Import rewrite of IPv4 socket multicast layer to support source-specific
and protocol-independent host mode multicast. The code is written to
accomodate IPv6, IGMPv3 and MLDv2 with only a little additional work.

This change only pertains to FreeBSD's use as a multicast end-station and
does not concern multicast routing; for an IGMPv3/MLDv2 router
implementation, consider the XORP project.

The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6,
which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html

Summary
 * IPv4 multicast socket processing is now moved out of ip_output.c
   into a new module, in_mcast.c.
 * The in_mcast.c module implements the IPv4 legacy any-source API in
   terms of the protocol-independent source-specific API.
 * Source filters are lazy allocated as the common case does not use them.
   They are part of per inpcb state and are covered by the inpcb lock.
 * struct ip_mreqn is now supported to allow applications to specify
   multicast joins by interface index in the legacy IPv4 any-source API.
 * In UDP, an incoming multicast datagram only requires that the source
   port matches the 4-tuple if the socket was already bound by source port.
   An unbound socket SHOULD be able to receive multicasts sent from an
   ephemeral source port.
 * The UDP socket multicast filter mode defaults to exclusive, that is,
   sources present in the per-socket list will be blocked from delivery.
 * The RFC 3678 userland functions have been added to libc: setsourcefilter,
   getsourcefilter, setipv4sourcefilter, getipv4sourcefilter.
 * Definitions for IGMPv3 are merged but not yet used.
 * struct sockaddr_storage is now referenced from <netinet/in.h>. It
   is therefore defined there if not already declared in the same way
   as for the C99 types.
 * The RFC 1724 hack (specify 0.0.0.0/8 addresses to IP_MULTICAST_IF
   which are then interpreted as interface indexes) is now deprecated.
 * A patch for the Rhyolite.com routed in the FreeBSD base system
   is available in the -net archives. This only affects individuals
   running RIPv1 or RIPv2 via point-to-point and/or unnumbered interfaces.
 * Make IPv6 detach path similar to IPv4's in code flow; functionally same.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700048; see UPDATING.

dac62e7ff2 Now pam_nologin(8) will provide an account management function
instead of an authentication function.  There are a design reason
and a practical reason for that.  First, the module belongs in
account management because it checks availability of the account
and does no authentication.  Second, there are existing and potential
PAM consumers that skip PAM authentication for good or for bad.
E.g., sshd(8) just prefers internal routines for public key auth;
OTOH, cron(8) and atrun(8) do implicit authentication when running
a job on behalf of its owner, so their inability to use PAM auth
is fundamental, but they can benefit from PAM account management.

Document this change in the manpage.

Modify /etc/pam.d files accordingly, so that pam_nologin.so is listed
under the "account" function class.

Bump __FreeBSD_version (mostly for ports, as this change should be
invisible to C code outside pam_nologin.)

8e211e654f Retire most of the classful network behaviour of netstat -r output, for IPv4.
Without -n, we now only print a "network name" without the prefix length
 under the following conditions:
  1) the network address and mask matches a classful network prefix;
  2) getnetbyaddr(3) returns a network name for this network address.

 With -n, we unconditionally print the full unabbreviated CIDR network
 prefix in the form "a.b.c.d/p". 0.0.0.0/0 is still printed as "default".

This change is in preparation for changes such as equal-cost multipath, and
to more generally assist operational deployment of FreeBSD as a modern IPv4
router. There are currently no plans to backport this change.

7b36f6d96b Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixes
in every sense.

General
-------

- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
   * Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
     feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
     using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
     endian.
   * Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
     the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
   * Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
     but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.

- Low latency operation
  * Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
    but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
    channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
    combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
    SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
    to what commercial 4front driver do.
  * Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
    result long delay.
  * Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
    DIY:
      1) Download / extract
         http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
      2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
         "for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
         - there should be no "perceivable" differences.
    Double close for PR kern/31445.

  CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
          written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
	  by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.
	  Fixup samples/patches can be found at:
	  http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ports/

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)
  due to closer compatibility with 4front driver.
  Discussed with: marcus@ (long time ago?)

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
  moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
  hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
  Bump __FreeBSD_version.

Driver specific
---------------

- Ditto for sysctls.

- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
  * Numerous cleanups and fixes.
  * _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
   This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
   good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
   IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
   dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.

- snd_ich
  * Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
    initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.

    Tested by: Kevin Overman <oberman@es.net>
  * Inverted EAPD for few Nec VersaPro.

9eefcf3161 MUTEX_PROFILING has been generalized to LOCK_PROFILING. We now profile
wait (time waited to acquire) and hold times for *all* kernel locks. If
the architecture has a system synchronized TSC, the profiling code will
use that - thereby minimizing profiling overhead. Large chunks of profiling
code have been moved out of line, the overhead measured on the T1 for when
it is compiled in but not enabled is < 1%.

The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still
required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will
almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.

f78772bbe4 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode
