legacy siba sentry5 cpu glue.
The siba_cc code is the hard-coded chipcommon bits for the sentry s5,
which will eventually be replaced with the more flexible bhnd sipa/cc
code.
bwn, etc uses siba_bwn, which doesn't use siba or siba_cc to do anything.
Turns out that ye olde siba.c is /just/ the siba mips code (used by
the initial SENTRY5 port. However, I don't think it was ever
finished enough to be useful, and I do have this nagging feeling
that we'll eventually replace it with the bhnd code.
But, since bhnd(4) introduced siba.c too, we ended up with a
source file name clash, and that broke the SENTRY5 build.
It /looks/ like this is the only place siba.c / device siba is
used.
Trim the leading directory of a firmware source file from the resulting
target object file name so the object file is stored in the object
directory. Previously, using 'FIRMWS= /path/to/fw.bin:fw.bin' would
store the generated 'fw.bin.fwo' file in the /path/to directory. Now
it stores it in the object directory of the kernel module being built.

* SPROM attached to later ChipCommon cores.
* SPROM variables vended from the parent SoC bus (e.g. via a directly-attached

PCI-express HotPlug support is implemented via bits in the slot
registers of the PCI-express capability of the downstream port along
with an interrupt that triggers when bits in the slot status register
change.
This is implemented for FreeBSD by adding HotPlug support to the
PCI-PCI bridge driver which attaches to the virtual PCI-PCI bridges
representing downstream ports on HotPlug slots. The PCI-PCI bridge
driver registers an interrupt handler to receive HotPlug events. It
also uses the slot registers to determine the current HotPlug state
and drive an internal HotPlug state machine. For simplicty of
implementation, the PCI-PCI bridge device detaches and deletes the
child PCI device when a card is removed from a slot and creates and
attaches a PCI child device when a card is inserted into the slot.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver provides a bus_child_present which claims
that child devices are present on HotPlug-capable slots only when a
card is inserted. Rather than requiring a timeout in the RC for
config accesses to not-present children, the pcib_read/write_config
methods fail all requests when a card is not present (or not yet
ready).
These changes include support for various optional HotPlug
capabilities such as a power controller, mechanical latch,
electro-mechanical interlock, indicators, and an attention button.
It also includes support for devices which require waiting for
command completion events before initiating a subsequent HotPlug
command. However, it has only been tested on ExpressCard systems
which support surprise removal and have none of these optional
capabilities.
PCI-express HotPlug support is conditional on the PCI_HP option
which is enabled by default on arm64, x86, and powerpc.

The inclusion of .MAKE.DEPENDFILE (.depend) has special logic in make
to ignore stale/missing dependencies. bmake 20160220 added a '.dinclude'
directive that uses the special logic for .depend when including the file.
This fixes a build error when a file is moved or deleted that exists in a
.depend.OBJ file. This happened in r292782 when sha512c.c "moved" and an
incremental build of lib/libmd would fail with:
make: don't know how to make /usr/src/lib/libcrypt/../libmd/sha512c.c. Stop
Now this will just be seen as a stale dependency and cause a rebuild:
make: /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libmd/.depend.sha512c.o, 13: ignoring stale .depend for /usr/src/lib/libcrypt/../libmd/sha512c.c
--- sha512c.o ---
...
This rebuild will only be done once since the .depend.sha512c.o will
be updated on the build with the -MF flags.
This also removes -MP being passed for the .depend.OBJ generation (which
would create fake targets for system headers) since the logic is no
longer needed to protect from missing files.

improve cancellation robustness.
Introduce a new file operation, fo_aio_queue, which is responsible for
queueing and completing an asynchronous I/O request for a given file.
The AIO subystem now exports library of routines to manipulate AIO
requests as well as the ability to run a handler function in the
"default" pool of AIO daemons to service a request.
A default implementation for file types which do not include an
fo_aio_queue method queues requests to the "default" pool invoking the
fo_read or fo_write methods as before.
The AIO subsystem permits file types to install a private "cancel"
routine when a request is queued to permit safe dequeueing and cleanup
of cancelled requests.
Sockets now use their own pool of AIO daemons and service per-socket
requests in FIFO order. Socket requests will not block indefinitely
permitting timely cancellation of all requests.
Due to the now-tight coupling of the AIO subsystem with file types,
the AIO subsystem is now a standard part of all kernels. The VFS_AIO
kernel option and aio.ko module are gone.
Many file types may block indefinitely in their fo_read or fo_write
callbacks resulting in a hung AIO daemon. This can result in hung
user processes (when processes attempt to cancel all outstanding
requests during exit) or a hung system. To protect against this, AIO
requests are only permitted for known "safe" files by default. AIO
requests for all file types can be enabled by setting the new
vfs.aio.enable_usafe sysctl to a non-zero value. The AIO tests have
been updated to skip operations on unsafe file types if the sysctl is
zero.
Currently, AIO requests on sockets and raw disks are considered safe
and are enabled by default. aio_mlock() is also enabled by default.

This will generate dependencies rather than depending on the previous behavior
of depending on the guessed OBJS: *.h dependecies or a user running
'make depend'.
Experimentation showed that depending only on headers was not enough and
prone to .ORDER errors. Downstream users may also have added
dependencies into beforedepend or afterdepend targets. The safest way to
ensure dependencies are generated before build is to run 'make depend'
beforehand rather than just depending on DPSRCS+SRCS.
Note that the OBJS_DEPEND_GUESS mechanism (a.k.a .if !exists(.depend) then
foo.o: *.h) is still useful as it improves incremental builds with missing
.depend.* files and allows 'make foo.o' to usually work, while this
'beforebuild: depend' ensures that the build will always find all dependencies.
The 'make foo.o' case has no means of a 'beforebuild' hook.
This also removes several hacks in the DIRDEPS_BUILD:
- NO_INSTALL_INCLUDES is no longer needed as it mostly was to work around
.ORDER problems with building the needed headers early.
- DIRDEPS_BUILD: It is no longer necesarry to track "local dependencies" in
Makefile.depend.
These were only in Makefile.depend for 'clean builds' since nothing would
generate the files due to skipping 'make depend' and early dependency
bugs that have been fixed, such as adding headers into SRCS for the
OBJS_DEPEND_GUESS mechanism. Normally if a .depend file does not exist then
a dependency is added by bsd.lib.mk/bsd.prog.mk from OBJS: *.h. However,
meta.autodep.mk creates a .depend file from created meta files and inserts
that into Makefile.depend. It also only tracks *.[ch] files though which can
miss some dependencies that are hooked into 'make depend'. This .depend
that is created then breaks incremental builds due to the !exists(.depend)
checks for OBJS_DEPEND_GUESS. The goal was to skip 'make depend' yet it only
really works the first time. After that files are not generated as expected,
which r288966 tried to address but was using buildfiles: rather than
beforebuild: and was reverted in r291725. As noted previously,
depending only on headers in beforebuild: would create .ORDER errors
in some cases.
meta.autodep.mk is still used to generate Makefile.depend though via:
gendirdeps: Makefile.depend
.END: gendirdeps
This commit allows removing all of the "local dependencies" in
Makefile.depend which cuts down on churn and removes some of the
arch-dependent Makefile.depend files.
The "local dependencies" were also problematic for bootstrapping.

FAST_DEPEND is intended to be the "skip 'make depend' and mkdep"
feature. Since DIRDEPS_BUILD does this already with some of its own
hacks, and filemon doesn't need this, and nofilemon does, teach it how
to handle each of these cases.
In meta+filemon mode filemon will handle dependencies itself via the
meta mode logic in bmake. We still want to set MK_FAST_DEPEND=yes to
enable some logic that indicates that 'make depend' is skipped in the
traditional sense. The actual .depend.* files will be skipped.
When nofilemon is set though we still need to track and generate dependencies.

Rather than depend on .depend not existing, check the actual
.depend.OBJ file that will be used for that object. If it doesn't
exist then use the guessed dependencies.
FAST_DEPEND may never have a .depend file. Not having one means all of the
previous logic would over-depend all object files on all headers which is not
what we wanted. It also means that if a .depend is generated before a build
is done for _EXTRADEPEND (such as for PROG or LIB) then all of these
dependencies would not be used since the .depend wasn't generated from mkdep
and the real .depend.* files are not generated until the build.

and geom_uncompress(4):
1. mkuzip(8):
- Proper support for eliminating all-zero blocks when compressing an
image. This feature is already supported by the geom_uzip(4) module
and CLOOP format in general, so it's just a matter of making mkuzip(8)
match. It should be noted, however that this feature while it sounds
great, results in very slight improvement in the overall compression
ratio, since compressing default 16k all-zero block produces only 39
bytes compressed output block, which is 99.8% compression ratio. With
typical average compression ratio of amd64 binaries and data being
around 60-70% the difference between 99.8% and 100.0% is not that
great further diluted by the ratio of number of zero blocks in the
uncompressed image to the overall number of blocks being less than
0.5 (typically). However, this may be important from performance
standpoint, so that kernel are not spinning its wheels decompressing
those empty blocks every time this zero region is read. It could also
be important when you create huge image mostly filled with zero
blocks for testing purposes.
- New feature allowing to de-duplicate output image. It turns out that
if you twist CLOOP format a bit you can do that as well. And unlike
zero-blocks elimination, this gives a noticeable improvement in the
overall compression ratio, reducing output image by something like
3-4% on my test UFS2 3GB image consisting of full FreeBSD base system
plus some of the packages (openjdk, apache etc), about 2.3GB worth of
file data (800+MB compressed). The only caveat is that images created
with this feature "on" would not work on older versions of FeeBSDxi
kernel, hence it's turned off by default.
- provide options to control both features and document them in manual
page.
- merge in all relevant LZMA compression support from the mkulzma(8),
add new option to select between both.
- switch license from ad-hoc beerware into standard 2-clause BSD.
2. geom_uzip(4):
- implement support for de-duplicated images;
- optimize some code paths to handle "all-zero" blocks without reading
any compressed data;
- beef up manual page to explain that geom_uzip(4) is not limited only
to md(4) images. The compressed data can be written to the block
device and accessed directly via magic of GEOM(4) and devfs(4),
including to mount root fs from a compressed drive.
- convert debug log code from being compiled in conditionally into
being present all the time and provide two sysctls to turn it on or
off. Due to intended use of the module, it can be used in
environments where there may not be a luxury to put new kernel with
debug code enabled. Having those options handy allows debug issues
without as much problem by just having access to serial console or
network shell access to a box/appliance. The resulting additional
CPU cycles are just few int comparisons and branches, and those are
minuscule when compared to data decompression which is the main
feature of the module.
- hopefully improve robustness and resiliency of the geom_uzip(4) by
performing some of the data validation / range checking on the TOC
entries and rejecting to attach to an image if those checks fail.
- merge in all relevant LZMA decompression support from the
geom_uncompress(4), enable automatically when appropriate format is
indicated in the header.
- move compilation work into its own worker thread so that it does not
clog g_up. This allows multiple instances work in parallel utilizing
smp cores.
- document new knobs in the manual page.
