While in here, use strlcpy to copy a user-provided cpuid string instead of

- amd_intr() does not account for the offset (0x200) in the counter
MSR address and ends up accessing invalid regions while reading
counter value after the 4th counter (0xC001000[8,9,..]) and
erroneously updates the counter values for counters [1-4].
- amd_intr() should only check core pmcs for interrupts since
other types of pmcs (L3,DF) cannot generate interrupts.
- fix pmc NMI's being ignored due to NMI latency on newer AMD processors
Note that this fixes a kernel panic due to GPFs accessing MSRs on
higher core count AMD cpus (seen on both Rome 7502P, and
Threadripper 2990WX 32-core CPUs)

BERI stands for Bluespec Extensible RISC Implementation, based on MIPS.
BERI has not implemented standard MIPS perfomance monitoring counters,
instead it provides statistical counters.
BERI statcounters have a several limitations:
- They can't be written
- They don't support start/stop operation
- None of hardware interrupt is provided on a counter overflow.
So make it separate to hwpmc_mips module and support process/system
counting mode only.

The forthcoming microcode update will fix a TSX bug by clobbering PMC3
when TSX instructions are executed (even speculatively). There is an
alternate mode where CPU executes all TSX instructions by aborting
them, in which case PMC3 is still available to OS. Any code that
correctly uses TSX must be ready to handle abort anyway.
Since it is believed that FreeBSD population of hwpmc(4) users is
significantly larger than the population of TSX users, switch the
microcode into TSX abort mode whenever a pmc is allocated, and back to
bug avoidance mode when the last pmc is deallocated.

The hwpmc pcpu sample buffer is prone to head of line blocking
when waiting for user process to return to user space and
collect a pending callchain. If more than one tick has elapsed
between the time the sample entry was marked for collection and
the time that the hardclock pmc handler runs to copy the records
to a larger temporary buffer, mark the sample entry as not in
use.
This changes reduces the number of samples marked as not valid
when collecting under load from ~99.5% to 5-20%.

Remove malloc_domain(9) and most other _domain KPIs added in r327900.
The new functions allow the caller to specify a general NUMA domain
selection policy, rather than specifically requesting an allocation from
a specific domain. The latter policy tends to interact poorly with
M_WAITOK, resulting in situations where a caller is blocked indefinitely
because the specified domain is depleted. Most existing consumers of
the _domain KPIs are converted to instead use a DOMAINSET_PREF() policy,
in which we fall back to other domains to satisfy the allocation
request.
This change also defines a set of DOMAINSET_FIXED() policies, which
only permit allocations from the specified domain.

Refactor sample ring buffer ring handling to make it more robust to
long running callchain collection handling
r338112 introduced a (now fixed) regression that exposed a number of race
conditions within the management of the sample buffers. This
simplifies the handling and moves the decision to overwrite a
callchain sample that has taken too long out of the NMI in to the
hardlock handler. With this change the problem no longer shows up as a
ring corruption but as the code spending all of its time in callchain
collection.
- Makes the producer / consumer index incrementing monotonic, making it
easier (for me at least) to reason about.
- Moves the decision to overwrite a sample from NMI context to interrupt
context where we can enforce serialization.
- Puts a time limit on waiting to collect a user callchain - putting a
bound on head-of-line blocking causing samples to be dropped
- Removes the flush routine which was previously needed to purge
dangling references to the pmc from the sample buffers but now is only
a source of a race condition on unload.
Previously one could lock up or crash HEAD by running:
pmcstat -S inst_retired.any_p -T and then hitting ^C
After this change it is no longer possible.

By logging all threads and processes 'pmc filter'
