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.

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.

the reaper.
The traditional reaper init(8) is aware of zombies silently reparented
to it after the parents exit, it loops around waitpid(2) to collect
them. For other reapers, the silent reparenting is surprising and
collecting zombies requires a thread blocking in waitpid(2) just for
that purpose. It seems that sending second SIGCHLD is a better
workaround than forcing all reapers to obey the setup.

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.

- Extract the code to report alive process into a new helper
report_alive_proc() and use it for trapped, stopped and continued

Note that the process spinlock is required around the WTRAPPED and
WUNTRACED tests, because P_STOPPED_TRACE and P_STOPPED_SIG flags are
set before other threads are stopped at the suspension point, and that
threads increment p_suspcount while owning only the process spinlock,
the process lock is dropped by them. If the spinlock is not taken for
tests, the syscall thread might miss both p_suspcount increment and

As of r234483, vnode deactivation causes non-VPO_NOSYNC pages to be
laundered. This behaviour has two problems:
1. Dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages must be laundered before the vnode can be
reclaimed, and this work may be unfairly deferred to the vnlru process
or an unrelated application when the system is under vnode pressure.
2. Deactivation of a vnode with dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages requires a scan of
the corresponding VM object's memq for non-VPO_NOSYNC dirty pages; if
the laundry thread needs to launder pages from an unreferenced such
vnode, it will reactivate and deactivate the vnode with each laundering,
potentially resulting in a large number of expensive scans.
Therefore, ensure that all dirty pages are laundered upon deactivation,
i.e., when all maps of the vnode are removed and all references are
released.

The callout subsystem already handles early callouts and schedules
the first clock interrupt appropriately based on the currently pending
callouts. The one nit to fix was that callouts scheduled via C_HARDCLOCK
during early boot could fire too early once timers were enabled as the
per-CPU base time is always zero until timers are initialized. The change
in callout_when() handles this case by using the current uptime as the
base time of the callout during bootup if the per-CPU base time is zero.

The size can be changed by side effect of modifying kern.maxvnodes.
Since numbucketlocks was not modified, setting a sufficiently low value
would give more locks than actual buckets, which would then lead to

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

- Find first invalid page in the request.
- Do vm_pager_has_page() and get count of pages, that can be taken in

- Trim valid pages from the end of the request.
- Cycle through the request and substitute to bogus_page all valid

- After I/O launched (pager copies array of pages into buf(9), it
is important to restore proper page pointers with help vm_page_lookup().

Although the higher end MIPS hardware handles cache aliasing issues in

newer cores (mips24k, mips34k, mips74k) don't have this feature.
This means we end up with some very unfortunate behaviour that was
made very obvious by some recent changes to the FFS pager by kib.

The default (512) wastes quite a bit of space which doesn't really buy
us much on highly embedded systems which don't take a lot of locks in
parallel.
This makes it at least build time configurable so people can experiment.
Currently mount update keeps vfs_busy(9) reference on the mount point
during MNT_UPDATE VFS_MOUNT() vfsops call. This already provides the
exclusion, but is problematic for filesystems which need to perform
namei(9) during VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) operations, e.g. to refresh
mnt_from path, because namei(9) must not be called while the
vfs_busy(9) reference is owned.
Check for MNT_UPDATE flag before setting MNTK_UNMOUNT, and for
MNTK_UNMOUNT before entering innards of vfs_domount_update(), failing
syscalls with EBUSY if conflict is detected. Keep vfs_busy(9)
reference around VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) calls still to not change VFS
KPI.
In the update path in ffs_mount(), drop vfs_busy() reference around
namei(), which is now safe due to unmount never executing in parallel
with VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE), and which avoids the deadlock.

The other CPU might resume and see a still-empty runq and go back to
sleep before sched_add() adds the thread to the runq. This results
in a lost wakeup and a potential hang if the system is otherwise
completely idle.
The race originated due to a micro-optimization (my fault) in 4BSD in
that it avoided putting a thread on the run queue if the scheduler was
going to preempt to the new thread. To avoid complexity while fixing
this race, just drop this optimization. 4BSD now always sets the
"owepreempt" flag when a preemption is warranted and defers the actual
preemption to the thread_unlock of the caller the same as ULE.
