Unlike UFS or TMPFS, ZFS sets uarch automatically whenever a file is

implementation of the swap pager, it shouldn't come as a surprise that as
the swap pager evolved these comments became increasingly stale. In
addition, apply some style fixes, like modernizing a few remaining old-

Without this change, every individual FEATURE() declaration would have
an individual metric in Prometheus. Though this wouldn't be harmful, it
would look very cluttered.
By letting it use a single metric with the name of the feature attached
as a label, it also becomes easier to search, as you can apply regex
matching, etc.

In order to make Prometheus do graphing/alerting on thermal sensors in a

Sysctls like kern.eventtimer.et.*.quality currently embed the name of
the clock device. This is problematic for the Prometheus metrics
exporter for two reasons:
- Some of those clocks have dashes in their names, which Prometheus
doesn't allow to be used in metric names.
- It doesn't allow for extracting the same property of all clocks on the
system from within a single query.
Attach these nodes to have a label, so that the Prometheus metrics
exporter gives these metric a uniform name with the name of the clock
attached as a label.

Under kern.cam we have certain sysctls that are per-device, such as the
ones under kern.cam.ada.[0-9]+.*. Add a "device_index" label annotation
to such sysctls, so that the Prometheus metrics exporter will give all
of those metrics the same name. The device number will be added to the
metric name as the "device_index" label.

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.

hammer_time(). This makes assembler exception handlers not fault
itself when setting PCB flags, and allow normal kernel trap handler to
get control. The pointer is reset after FPU parameters are obtained.
Set thread0.td_critnest to 1 for duration of hammer_time() as well.
In particular, page faults at that early stage panic immediately
instead of trying to call not yet operational VM to resolve it.
As result, faults during second half of the hammer_time() execution
have a chance to be reported instead of silent machine reboot or hang.

On all of our platforms, db_expr_t is a signed integer while
db_addr_t is an unsigned integer value. db_search_symbol used variables
of type db_expr_t to hold the current offset of the requested address from
the "best" symbol found so far. This value was initialized to '~0'.
When a new symbol is found from a symbol table, the associated diff for the
new symbol is compared against the existing value as 'if (newdiff < diff)'
to determine if the new symbol had a smaller diff and was thus a closer
match.
On 64-bit MIPS, the '~0' was treated as a negative value (-1). A lookup
that found a perfect match of an address against a symbol returned a diff
of 0. However, in signed comparisons, 0 is not less than -1. As a result,
DDB on 64-bit MIPS never resolved any addresses to symbols. Workaround
this by using casts to force an unsigned comparison.
Probably the diff returned from db_search_symbol() and X_db_search_symbol()
should be changed to a db_addr_t instead of a db_expr_t as it is an
unsigned value (and is an offset of an address, so should fit in the same
size as an address).

When the kernel debugger is entered, makectx() is called to store
appropriate state from the trapframe for the debugger into a global
kdb_pcb used as the thread context of the thread entering the
debugger. Stack unwinders for DDB called via db_trace_thread() are
supposed to then use this saved context so that the stack trace for
the current thread starts at the location of the event that triggered
debugger entry.
MIPS was instead starting the stack trace of the current thread from
the context of db_trace_thread itself and unwinding back out through
the debugger to the original frame. Fix a couple of things to bring
MIPS inline with other platforms:
- Fix makectx() to store the PC, SP, and RA in the right portion of
the PCB used by db_trace_thread().
- Fix db_trace_thread() to always use kdb_thr_ctx() (and thus kdb_pcb
for the debugger thread).
- Move the logic for tracing curthread from within the current
function into db_trace_self() to match other architectures.

This fixes backtraces from DDB in n32 kernels as uintptr_t is only a
