Currently dtrace_gethrtime uses formula similar to the following for
converting TSC ticks to nanoseconds:
rdtsc() * 10^9 / tsc_freq
The dividend overflows 64-bit type and wraps-around every 2^64/10^9 =
18446744073 ticks which is just a few seconds on modern machines.
Now we instead use precalculated scaling factor of
10^9*2^N/tsc_freq < 2^32 and perform TSC value multiplication separately
for each 32-bit half. This allows to avoid overflow of the dividend
described above.
The idea is taken from OpenSolaris.
This has an added feature of always scaling TSC with invariant value
regardless of TSC frequency changes. Thus the timestamps will not be
accurate if TSC actually changes, but they are always proportional to
TSC ticks and thus monotonic. This should be much better than current
formula which produces wildly different non-monotonic results on when
tsc_freq changes.
Also drop write-only 'cp' variable from amd64 dtrace_gethrtime_init()
to make it identical to the i386 twin.

On amd64 KERNBASE/kernbase does not mean start of kernel memory.
This should fix a KASSERT panic in dtrace_copycheck when copyin*()
is used in D program.
Also make checks for user memory a bit stricter.

events are:
nfsclient:accesscache:flush:done
nfsclient:accesscache:get:hit
nfsclient:accesscache:get:miss
nfsclient:accesscache:load:done
They pass the vnode, uid, and requested or loaded access mode (if any);
the load event may also report a load error if the RPC fails.
The attribute cache events are:
nfsclient:attrcache:flush:done
nfsclient:attrcache:get:hit
nfsclient:attrcache:get:miss
nfsclient:attrcache:load:done
They pass the vnode, optionally the vattr if one is present (hit or load),
and in the case of a load event, also a possible RPC error.

provider. The NFS client exposes 'start' and 'done' probes for NFSv2
and NFSv3 RPCs when using the new RPC implementation, passing in the
vnode, mbuf chain, credential, and NFSv2 or NFSv3 procedure number.
For 'done' probes, the error number is also available.
Probes are named in the following way:
...
nfsclient:nfs2:write:start
nfsclient:nfs2:write:done
...
nfsclient:nfs3:access:start
nfsclient:nfs3:access:done
...
Access to the unmarshalled arguments is not easily available at this
point in the stack, but the passed probe arguments are sufficient to
to a lot of interesting things in practice. Technically, these probes
may cover multiple RPC retransmits, and even transactions if the
transaction ID change as a result of authentication failure or a
jukebox error from the server, but usefully capture the intent of a
single NFS request, such as access, getattr, write, etc.
Typical use might involve profiling RPC latency by system call, number
of RPCs, how often a getattr leads to a call to access, when failed
access control checks occur, etc. More detailed RPC information might
best be provided by adding a krpc provider. It would also be useful
to add NFS client probes for events such as the access cache or
attribute cache satisfying requests without an RPC.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().
