but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts

cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases

dependent memory attributes:
Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.
Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.
Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:
kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.
vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.
Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

results in havoc when loading a kernel and modules which take up

While the framework is not believed to impose measurable overhead when no
policies are loaded (a result of optimization over the past few months in

The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.
The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

possible future I-cache coherency operation can succeed. On ARM
for example the L1 cache can be (is) virtually mapped, which
means that any I/O that uses temporary mappings will not see the
I-cache made coherent. On ia64 a similar behaviour has been
observed. By flushing the D-cache, execution of binaries backed
by md(4) and/or NFS work reliably.
For Book-E (powerpc), execution over NFS exhibits SIGILL once in
a while as well, though cpu_flush_dcache() hasn't been implemented
yet.
Doing an explicit D-cache flush as part of the non-DMA based I/O
read operation eliminates the need to do it as part of the
I-cache coherency operation itself and as such avoids pessimizing
the DMA-based I/O read operations for which D-cache are already
flushed/invalidated. It also allows future optimizations whereby
the bcopy() followed by the D-cache flush can be integrated in a
single operation, which could be implemented using on-chips DMA
engines, by-passing the D-cache altogether.
