drain timeout handling to historical freebsd behavior.
The primary reason for these changes is the need to have tty_drain() call
ttydevsw_busy() at some reasonable sub-second rate, to poll hardware that
doesn't signal an interrupt when the transmit shift register becomes empty
(which includes virtually all USB serial hardware). Such hardware hangs
in a ttyout wait, because it never gets an opportunity to trigger a wakeup
from the sleep in tty_drain() by calling ttydisc_getc() again, after
handing the last of the buffered data to the hardware.
While researching the history of changes to tty_drain() I stumbled across
some email describing the historical BSD behavior of tcdrain() and close()
on serial ports, and the ability of comcontrol(1) to control timeout
behavior. Using that and some advice from Bruce Evans as a guide, I've
put together these changes to implement the hardware polling and restore
the historical timeout behaviors...
- tty_drain() now calls ttydevsw_busy() in a loop at 10 Hz to accomodate
hardware that requires polling for busy state.
- The "new historical" behavior for draining during close(2) is retained:
the drain timeout is "1 second without making any progress". When the
1-second timeout expires, if the count of bytes remaining in the tty
layer buffer is smaller than last time, the timeout is extended for
another second. Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be extended all
the way down to the hardware, because the interface to that layer is a
simple busy/not-busy indication.
- Due to the previous point, an application that needs a guarantee that
all data has been transmitted must use TIOCDRAIN/tcdrain(3) before
calling close(2).
- The historical behavior of honoring the drainwait setting for TIOCDRAIN
(used by tcdrain(3)) is restored.
- The historical kern.drainwait sysctl to control the global default
drainwait time is restored, but is now named kern.tty_drainwait.
- The historical default drainwait timeout of 300 seconds is restored.
- Handling of TIOCGDRAINWAIT and TIOCSDRAINWAIT ioctls is restored
(this also makes the comcontrol(1) drainwait verb work again).
- Manpages are updated to document these behaviors.

FC-Tape provides additional link level error recovery, and is
highly recommended for tape devices. It will only be turned on for
a given target if the target supports it.
Without this setting, we default to whatever FC-Tape setting is in
NVRAM on the card.
This can be overridden by setting the following loader tunable, for
example for isp0:
hint.isp.0.nofctape=1
sys/conf/options:
Add a new kernel config option, ISP_FCTAPE_OFF, that
defaults the FC-Tape configuration to off.
sys/dev/isp/isp_pci.c:
If ISP_FCTAPE_OFF is defined, turn off FC-Tape. Otherwise,
turn it on if the card supports it.
share/man/man4/isp.4:
Add a description of FC-Tape to the isp(4) man page.
Add descriptions of the fctape and nofctape options, as well as the
ISP_FCTAPE_OFF kernel configuration option.
Add the ispfw module and kernel drivers to the suggested
configurations at the top of the man page so that users are less
likely to leave it out. The driver works well with the included
firmware, but may not work at all with whatever firmware the user
has flashed on their card.

I'm currently working on writing a metrics exporter for the Prometheus
monitoring system to provide access to sysctl metrics. Prometheus and
sysctl have some structural differences:
- sysctl is a tree of string component names.
- Prometheus uses a flat namespace for its metrics, but allows you to
attach labels with values to them, so that you can do aggregation.
An initial version of my exporter simply translated
hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature
to
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_tz1_temperature_celcius
while we should ideally have
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_temperature_celcius{thermal_zone="tz1"}
allowing you to graph all thermal zones on a system in one go.
The change presented in this commit adds support for accomplishing this,
by providing the ability to attach labels to nodes. In the example I
gave above, the label "thermal_zone" would be attached to "tz1". As this
is a feature that will only be used very rarely, I decided to not change
the KPI too aggressively.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

Instead of failing with ENAMETOOLONG, which is swallowed by
pthread_set_name_np() anyway, truncate the given name to MAXCOMLEN+1
bytes. This is more likely what the user wants, and saves the
caller from truncating it before the call (which was the only
recourse).
Polish pthread_set_name_np(3) and add a .Xr to thr_set_name(2)
so the user might find the documentation for this behavior.

VSS stands for "Volume Shadow Copy Service". Unlike virtual machine
snapshot, it only takes snapshot for the virtual disks, so both
filesystem and applications have to aware of it, and cooperate the
whole VSS process.
This driver exposes two device files to the userland:
/dev/hv_fsvss_dev
Normally userland programs should _not_ mess with this device file.
It is currently used by the hv_vss_daemon(8), which freezes and
thaws the filesystem. NOTE: currently only UFS is supported, if
the system mounts _any_ other filesystems, the hv_vss_daemon(8)
will veto the VSS process.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was disabled, then this device file must be
opened, and proper ioctls must be issued to keep the VSS working.
/dev/hv_appvss_dev
Userland application can opened this device file to receive the
VSS freeze notification, hold the VSS for a while (mainly to flush
application data to filesystem), release the VSS process, and
receive the VSS thaw notification i.e. applications can run again.
The VSS will still work, even if this device file is not opened.
However, only filesystem consistency is promised, if this device
file is not opened or is not operated properly.
hv_vss_daemon(8) is started by devd(8) by default. It can be disabled
by editting /etc/devd/hyperv.conf.
