They provide relaxed-ordered atomic access semantic. Due to the
FreeBSD memory model, the operations are syntaxical wrappers around
the volatile accesses. The volatile qualifier is used to ensure that
the access not optimized out and in turn depends on the volatile
semantic as implemented by supported compilers.
The motivation for adding the operation is to help people coming from
other systems or knowing the C11/C++ standards where atomics have
special type and require use of the special access operations. It is
still the case that FreeBSD requires plain load and stores of aligned
integer types to be atomic.

arm64 boot sequence. This will be a virtual address in the kernel space
after the kernel and any modules loaded by loader so we can use this to
find the size of the kernel + modules. We can then add on a level 2 page for
the module data and round up the size to be aligned to a level 2 page.
This allows more than 8 MiB of modules to be loaded by loader, e.g. zfs.ko
and opensolaris.ko.

The cloudabi32.ko kernel modules can only be loaded on AMD64 and ARM64
by kernels built with COMPAT_FREEBSD32. Even though COMPAT_FREEBSD32

This change adds an implementation of a sysent for running CloudABI

Just like for cloudabi32.ko on FreeBSD/amd64, we make use of a vDSO that

The documentation on the Saved Process Status Register (SPSR) is a bit
weird; the M[4] bit is documented separately from M[3:0]. The M[4] bit
can be toggled to switch to 32-bit execution mode. This functionality is
orthogonal to M[3:0].
Change the definition of PSR_M_MASK to no longer include M[4]. Add a new
definition, PSR_AARCH32 that can be used to toggle 32-bit independently.
This bit will be used by the cloudabi32 code to force execution of
userspace code in 32-bit mode.

The nice thing about ARM64 is that it's pretty elegant to install
separate trap/exception handlers for 32-bit and 64-bit processes. That
said, for all other architectures (e.g., i386 on amd64) we always let
32-bit counterparts go through the regular system call codepath. Let's
do the same on ARM64.

Binaries generated by Clang for ARMv6 may contain these instructions:
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c7, c10, 5
These instructions are deprecated as of ARMv7, which is why modern
processors have a way of toggling support for them. On FreeBSD/arm64 we
currently disable support for these instructions, meaning that if 32-bit
executables with these instructions are run, they would crash with
SIGILL. This is likely not what we want.

Right now I'm using two Raspberry Pi's (2 and 3) to test CloudABI
support for armv6, armv7 and aarch64. It would be nice if I could
restrict this to just a single instance when testing smaller changes.
This is why I'd like to get COMPAT_CLOUDABI32 to work on arm64.
As COMPAT_CLOUDABI32 depends on COMPAT_FREEBSD32, at least for the ELF
loading, this change adds all of the bits necessary to at least build a
kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD32. All of the machine dependent system calls
are still stubbed out, for the reason that implementations for these are
only useful if actual support for running FreeBSD binaries is added.
This is outside the scope of this work.

Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).
Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.
Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.
To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

This simplifies NUMA allocation because the domain will be known at wait

All of the kernel dump implementations keep track of the current offset
("dumplo") within the dump device. However, except for textdumps, they
all write the dump sequentially, so we can reduce code duplication by
having the MI code keep track of the current offset. The new
dump_append() API can be used to write at the current offset.
This is needed to implement support for kernel dump compression in the
MI kernel dump code.
Also simplify dump_encrypted_write() somewhat: use dump_write() instead
of duplicating its bounds checks, and get rid of the redundant offset
tracking.
