The XIVE (External Interrupt Virtualization Engine) is a new interrupt
controller present in IBM's POWER9 processor. It's a very powerful,
very complex device using queues and shared memory to improve interrupt
dispatch performance in a virtualized environment.
This yields a ~10% performance improvment over the XICS emulation mode,
measured in both buildworld, and 'dd' from nvme to /dev/null.
Currently, this only supports native access.

512GB of ZFS ABD ARC means abd_chunk zone of 128M 4KB items. To manage
them UMA tries to allocate 2GB hash table, which size does not fit into
the int variable, causing later allocation failure, which makes ARC shrink
back below the 512GB, not letting it to use more RAM. With this change I
easily reached >700GB ARC size on 768GB RAM machine.

CPU and buses can manage up to the limit reported by cpu_maxphyaddr,
so set mem_rman to the value returned by cpu_getmaxphyaddr(). For the
PAE mode, it was missed both when rman_res_t was increased to
uintmax_t, and from the PAE merge commit.
When importing smaps or dump_avail chunks into memory rman, do not
blindly ignore resources which ends above the limit, chomp them
instead if start is below the limit. The same change was already done
to i386 add_physmap_entry().

"slow" interrupt handler:
- Expand the list of INT_CAUSE registers known to the driver.
- Add decode information for many more bits but decouple it from the
rest of intr_info so that it is entirely optional.
- Call t4_fatal_err exactly once, and from the top level PL intr handler.
t4_fatal_err:
- Use t4_shutdown_adapter from the common code to stop the adapter.
- Stop servicing slow interrupts after the first fatal one.
Driver/firmware interaction:
- CH_DUMP_MBOX: note whether the mailbox being dumped is a command or a
reply or something else.
- Log the raw value of pcie_fw for some errors.
- Use correct log levels (debug vs. error).

kbd(4) (but only documented in atkbd(4)) maintains a table of strings
for 96 function keys. Using teken broke this 9+ years ago for the
most usable first 12 function keys and for 10 cursor keys, by supplying
its own non-programmable strings so that the keyboard driver's strings
are not used.
Fix this by supplying NULL in the teken layer for syscons in cons25 mode
so that the the strings are found in the kbd(4) layer.
vt needs more changes to use kbd(4)'s tables. Teken's cons25 table is
still needed to supply nonempty strings for vt in cons25 mode.
Keep using teken's xterm tables for both syscons and vt in xterm mode.
Function keys should at least default to xterm values in xterm mode,
and kbd(4) doesn't support this.
teken_set_cons25() sets a sticky flag to ask for the fix, and space is
reserved for another new flag. vt should set this flag when it uses
kbd(4)'s tables.

The KPI have been reviewed and cleansed of features that were planned
back 20 years ago and never implemented. The pfil(9) internals have
been made opaque to protocols with only returned types and function
declarations exposed. The KPI is made more strict, but at the same time
more extensible, as kernel uses same command structures that userland
ioctl uses.
In nutshell [KA]PI is about declaring filtering points, declaring
filters and linking and unlinking them together.
New [KA]PI makes it possible to reconfigure pfil(9) configuration:
change order of hooks, rehook filter from one filtering point to a
different one, disconnect a hook on output leaving it on input only,
prepend/append a filter to existing list of filters.
Now it possible for a single packet filter to provide multiple rulesets
that may be linked to different points. Think of per-interface ACLs in
Cisco or Juniper. None of existing packet filters yet support that,
however limited usage is already possible, e.g. default ruleset can
be moved to single interface, as soon as interface would pride their
filtering points.
Another future feature is possiblity to create pfil heads, that provide
not an mbuf pointer but just a memory pointer with length. That would
allow filtering at very early stages of a packet lifecycle, e.g. when
packet has just been received by a NIC and no mbuf was yet allocated.

Not all child devices of the NVDIMM root device represent DIMM devices
which are present in the system. The spec says (ACPI 6.2, sec 9.20.2):
For each NVDIMM present or intended to be supported by platform,
platform firmware also exposes an NVDIMM device ... under the
NVDIMM root device.
Present NVDIMM devices are found by walking all of the NFIT table's
SPA ranges, then walking the NVDIMM regions mentioned by those SPA
ranges.
A set of NFIT walking helper functions are introduced to avoid the
need to splat the enumeration logic across several disparate
callbacks.

anything except several assertions. This type is going to be used for
temporary on stack mbufs, that point into data in receive ring of a NIC,
that shall not be freed. Such mbuf can not be stored or reallocated, its
life time is current context.
Parts of the kobj(9) KPI assume a non-sleepable context for the purpose
of internal memory allocations, but currently have no way to signal an
allocation failure to the caller, so they just panic in this case. This
can occur even when kobj_create() is called with M_WAITOK. Fix some
instances of the problem by plumbing wait flags from kobj_create() through
internal subroutines. Change kobj_class_compile() to assume a sleepable
context when called externally, since all existing callers use it in a
sleepable context.
To fix the problem fully the kobj_init() KPI must be changed.

This patch and commit message are based on r340256 created by Jacob Keller:
The iflib stack does not disable TSO automatically when TXCSUM is
disabled, instead assuming that the driver will correctly handle TSOs
even when CSUM_IP is not set.
This results in iflib calling ixgbe_isc_txd_encap with packets which have
CSUM_IP_TSO, but do not have CSUM_IP or CSUM_IP_TCP set. Because of
this, ixgbe_tx_ctx_setup will not setup the IPv4 checksum offloading.
This results in bad TSO packets being sent if a user disables TXCSUM
without disabling TSO.
Fix this by updating the ixgbe_tx_ctx_setup function to check both
CSUM_IP and CSUM_IP_TSO when deciding whether to enable checksums.
Once this is corrected, another issue for TSO packets is revealed. The
driver sets IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM in order to enable a work around that
causes the ip->sum field to be zero'd. This is necessary for ix
hardware to correctly perform TSOs.
However, if TXCSUM is disabled, then the work around is not enabled, as
CSUM_IP will not be set when the iflib stack checks to see if it should
clear the sum field.
Fix this by adding IFLIB_TSO_INIT_IP to the iflib flags for the ix and
ixv interface files.
Once both of these changes are made, the ix and ixv drivers should
correctly offload TSO packets when TSO offload is enabled, regardless
of whether TXCSUM is enabled or disabled.

recording requests for mod_task, msf_task, mbx_task, fdir_task and
phy_task calls. Instead of enqueueing these tasks with
GROUPTASK_ENQUEUE, handlers will be called directly from
ixgbe_if_update_admin_status() while holding ctx lock.
SIOCGIFXMEDIA ioctl() call reads adapter->media list. The list is
deleted and rewritten in ixgbe_handle_msf() task without holding ctx
lock. This change is needed to maintain data coherency when sharing
adapter info via ioctl() calls.

The migration to LLVM's lld linker has been in progress for quite some
time - I opened an LLVM tracking bug (23214) in April 2015 to track
issues using lld as FreeBSD's linker, and requested the first exp-run
using lld as /usr/bin/ld in November 2016.
In 12.0 LLD is the system linker on amd64, arm64, and armv7. i386 was
not switched initially as there were additional ports failures not found
on amd64. Those have largely been addressed now, although there are a
small number of issues that are still being worked on. In some of these
cases having lld as the system linker makes it easier for developers and
third parties to investigate failures.
Thanks to antoine@ for handling the exp-runs and to everyone in the
FreeBSD and LLVM communites who have fixed issues with lld to get us to
this point.
