GEOM ELI may double ask the password during boot. Once at loader time, and
once at init time.
This happens due a module loading bug. By default GEOM ELI caches the
password in the kernel, but without the MODULE_VERSION annotation, the
kernel loads over the kernel module, even if the GEOM ELI was compiled into
the kernel. In this case, the newly loaded module
purges/invalidates/overwrites the GEOM ELI's password cache, which causes
the double asking.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

PR: 225197
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

necessary because CLOOP format lacks explicit EOF or length, so that
in the presence of padding or when the CLOOP is put onto a larger
partition upper level provider size may be larger. Bound amount
of extra data that we might touch to the max length of the compressed
block and detect zero-padding in the last cluster, which when
sector is all-zero might cause us to emit bogus I/O error after
decompression of that fails. To not make code any more complicated
that it needs to be deal with it in lazy-manner, i.e. when we
first access that specific cluster.
This change also fixes stupid mistake in the LZMA code, inherited
from geom_lzma, which does not share length of the output buffer
buffer with the decompression routine, so that in the presence
of corrupted or purposedly tailored data may easily cause heap
overflow and kernel memory corruption.
Beef up validation of the CLOOP TOC by checking that lengths of
all but the last compressed clusters match upper limit set by
the decompressor and improve some error diagnostic output while
I am here.
2.Add kern.geom.uzip.attach_to tunable to artifically limit
attaching uzip to certain devices in the dev tree only.
For example the following only makes us attaching to the
GPT labels:
kern.geom.uzip.attach_to="gpt/*"
3.Add kern.geom.uzip.noattach_to, which does opposite to the (2)
above, i.e. prevents geom_uzip from tasting / attaching to
providers matching some pattern. By default we don't attach
to our own kind, i.e. kern.geom.uzip.noattach_to="*.uzip".
It saves us quite some CPU cycles, esp on low-end embedded
systems.

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.

problems in our providers, such as a KASSERT in md(4). We can initiate
I/O for more than MAXPHYS bytes if we've been given a BIO for MAXPHYS
bytes, the blocks from which we're reading couldn't be compressed and
we had compression in preceeding blocks resulting in misalignment of
the blocks we're trying to read relative to the sector. We're forced to
round up the I/O length to make it an multiple of the sector size.
When we detect the condition, we'll reduce the block count and perform
a "short" read. In g_uzip_done() we need to consider the original I/O
length and stop early if we're about to deflate a block that we didn't
read. By using bio_completed in the cloned BIO and not bio_length to
check for this, we automatically and gracefully handle short reads that
our providers may be doing on top of the short reads we may initiate
ourselves.

During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes

geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).
